PointDenitionEditing
The main use of the Edit Denition menu is to modify the denition of a scan response. Let’s
take the case above for Conitel protocol. That protocol denes a single scan message called
Scan. The response to a scan message is a set of points of one or more types. For example, a
response may include a set of analog points, a set of digital points, or both analogs and digitals.
Similarly, pulse accumulator data may be included.
The ASE2000 cannot know, in advance, the data content of a scan response. This is a RTU
hardware dependency. The default scan exchange contains is shown above. The nal element
is Points: Unknown Quantity of Points. This is exactly what the ASE2000 knows about the
exchange; only that some number of points will be returned: neither the number nor the type is
known.
Let’s assume that a particular scan response contains 2 blocks of digital input points followed by
7 analog points. To dene such a message:
• Highlight the Points element
• Select Replace
• Select Digital
Restore the original Edit Exchange Denition menu. This will now appear as:
The Point entry was replaced by a Digital entry.
• Set the Repeat Count to 2, for 2 blocks
• Select Add Element
• Select Analog
