Set IOChannel

clear-mode

Specifies whether an activated alarm must be Manually cleared, or can be cleared when the input drops below the specified value (when Trigger Type is High) or goes above the specified value (when Trigger Type is Low).

clear-level

Specify that value that will clear an alarm, the measurement is based on the Type and Range that you specify. This value must not fall within the scope of the value used to trigger an alarm.

email

Sends an email alert to an email account(s) set up in the Server settings (the Line Email Alert settings are not used with this feature) when an alarm is triggered or cleared. The email alert data includes the severity level and the value that caused the alarm to trigger or clear. The Email Alert is associated with Level Critical.

 

snmp

 

Sends an SNMP trap when an alarm is triggered or cleared. The trap consists of the

 

severity level and whether the alarm was triggered or cleared.

 

syslog

 

Sends a message to syslog when an alarm is triggered or cleared. The syslog entry

 

includes the severity level and the value that caused the alarm to trigger or clear. The

 

syslog message is associated with Level Critical.

Set IOChannel IOExtension

Description

Configures the I/O extension options that allow you to connect the Digital Input

 

channel or input serial signal pin (when the line is configured for signal-io) to Digital

 

Output/Relay channels or output serial signal pins (when the line is configured for

 

signal-io) on the same IOLAN, remote IOLAN(s), and/or TCP/IP applications running

SDS, MDC specifications

Perle Systems is a leading provider of connectivity solutions, renowned for its robustness and reliability in networking hardware. Among its expansive product offerings, the MDC (Multiport Device Converter) and SDS (Serial Device Server) stand out as pivotal solutions for industries requiring seamless data communication and device management.

The Perle MDC serves as a powerful multi-port device converter, providing the ability to connect multiple serial devices to a computer network without needing a separate connection for each device. This is particularly useful in environments with limited computing resources or high device density, such as railways, manufacturing plants, or remote field operations. It is designed to convert serial communication, which is commonly used in legacy devices, into Ethernet/IP or TCP/IP protocols, ensuring that older devices can integrate into modern networks.

Main features of the MDC include its robust design for industrial environments, support for a variety of serial protocols, and multiple device connections. It supports data rates of up to 115200 bps and provides easy monitoring and configuration via a web-based interface. Additionally, the MDC incorporates advanced security features including SSL and SSH encryption, ensuring data integrity and protection against unauthorized access.

On the other hand, the Perle SDS model exemplifies advanced serial device hosting capabilities, allowing users to connect Ethernet networks to serial devices. It acts as a bridge, enabling remote devices to be configured and managed over IP networks. The SDS series is known for its versatility, supporting a range of serial communication protocols, including RS-232, RS-422, and RS-485, making it suitable for various applications such as point-of-sale systems, industrial automation, and remote monitoring.

The SDS boasts several characteristics that enhance its functionality, such as automatic device discovery, real-time monitoring, and local or cloud-based management options. Its feature set also includes traffic management capabilities, allowing the optimization of device communication by controlling the flow of data, which is critical for applications requiring high reliability and low latency.

Both the MDC and SDS benefit from a strong emphasis on ease of deployment and management. They support a range of network topologies, facilitating seamless integration into existing infrastructures. Furthermore, these devices are backed by Perle Systems' reputation for customer support and a commitment to ongoing innovation, ensuring that organizations can rely on these solutions for future growth and technological advancement.
