I/O UDP

SNMP

When enabled, 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.

 

Default: Disabled

I/O UDP

The I/O UDP broadcast feature periodically broadcasts the I/O channel status in a UDP message.

You can configure up to four sets of IP address entries (each entry consisting of a start and end IP address range) to broadcast I/O status data. The data depends on the I/O model (Analog, Digital, Serial Pin Signals) and contains information for all channels.

UDP Unicast Format

In order to interpret the UDP unicast data, you must use the following tables to decipher the appropriate data. If your model does not support a data format (for example, digital data) or you do not have any channels configured for a data format, it will be included in UDP broadcast package, with a Total Length of 0 (zero) and no data following.

Version

Analog Data

Digital Data

Serial Signal Data

Each section, with the exceptions of the Version and Total Length sections, is comprised of its own subset of bytes.

Analog Data

Each Analog channel is comprised of the following data fields (big Endian format):

The following section describes the values in the Analog Data field:

zcurRawValue—The current raw value received from the Analog to Digital converter.

zminRawValue—The minimum value received from the Analog to Digital converter until it is cleared.

zmaxRawValue—The maximum value received from the Analog to Digital converter until it is cleared.

zcurEngValue—The current converted value (voltage/current for Analog or Celsius/Fahrenheit for Temperature).

zminEngValue—The minimum converted value (voltage/current for Analog or Celsius/Fahrenheit for Temperature) until it is cleared.

zmaxEngValue—The maximum converted value (voltage/current for Analog or Celsius/Fahrenheit for Temperature) until it is cleared.
