Outputs
Outputs are only send packets. The Output devices do not send packets. Therefore the setup for an Output sensor must be done manually. Some Outputs need to be “trained” to the packets that it will receive for from the Server.
New and Edit
Create or edit an Output object to manage an Output sensor. The following describe the parameters necessary to set up an Output sensor.
Type – “Dual Discrete Outputs” or “12 bit Analog Output”. Select the type of Output sensor. Note changeable only for the Edit Output window.
Serial Number – Some Outputs sensors can “learn” a serial number. Others have the serial number preassigned and must be entered in the field. These sensors have the serial number labeled. For those sensors that must learn their serial number,
Label – name assigned for this Output sensor. The label name is used for the OPC topic name. This name must be unique. For the Edit Window, the Label field contains a list box. Select the Output to modify from the list. You can also change the label for the current Output.
Node – This field applies only when using the
Dual Discrete Outputs
Send when output B is written – If checked,
12 bit Analog Output
Scale – the scale to apply to the raw reading (12 bits: 0 to 4095). Offset – the offset to apply to the reading after the scale is applied.
Engeering Value = Scale * raw + Offset.
Units – units label for the analog output.
