Volume Conversion Device EK260

4.7.9 Sending short messages by SMS.
F It is not possible to send short messages with an FE230.
If a modem (except FE230) is connected to Interface 2, then with definable events the
EK260 can send a brief message by a short message (Short Message Service in the GSM
mobile radio network). To do this, a large number of settings are needed which cannot be
made by means of the keypad on the device, but instead with the aid of the "WinPADS"
parameterisation software.
The settings which can be made include the event which triggers the message, one or two
recipients and any eight volume corrector values as the message content.
With SEND (→ page 77) you can send the defined message also with the keypad.
4.7.10 Standard output data records for process data ("three-minute values")
Process data can be synchronously temporarily stored in short cycles (e.g. 3 minutes) and
interrogated over the interface. To output these data records the mode "Data readout"" in
"Mode C" according to IEC 62056-21
1
is used.
In order to obtain practicable values, buffer storage of the process data has to be
activated. In this respect
- the value "21" is written to the address "13:0157.0" via the interface and
- the operating cycle OCyc (→ 52) is set to an integer divisor of 3 minutes.
Through these measures the battery service life of the EK260 is slightly reduced. The
expected remaining service life is displayed under Bat.R (→ page 53).
Output of the data records
The data records are labelled on recalling with the addresses 1:01CD ... 15:01CD. (Other
addresses are used to set the content, see above.)
In the factory setting the following data are output:
