About the Onyxx Device
The Onyxx Device represents an I/O-34 board and can be extended by attaching Onyxx XM modules. The JENEsys Edge
534 and Onyxx XM modules hold the processors that allow for servicing hardware I/O points.
Figure 3-6 Onyxx Device property sheet
Under an onyxxNetwork, each Onyxx Device must have a unique “Device Path.” Apart from the “Enabled” property, this is
the only writable property of an Onyxx Device. All other Onyxx properties are read-only types (
Figure 3-6), reflecting the
status and I/O capabilities.
Note: The N Device Manager view of the onyxxNetwork provides online discover and add commands to ensure all
available Onyxx Devices can be created and configured properly.
Each Onyxx Device has a single important device extension named Points. This is the container for all of a device’s Proxy
points. Each Proxy point represents a specific I/O terminal address on the device (JENEsys Edge 534 or Onyxx XM 34IO),
serviced by that board’s I/O processor(s). For more details, see “Onyxx Point Manager” on page 13.
Onyxx Device properties
Onyxx Device properties can be categorized into two groups:
1. Device status properties
2. Config properties
Note: As in other driver networks, the Onyxx Device has an available “Alarm Source Info” container slot you can use to
differentiate Onyxx Device alarms from other component alarms in the station.
1.
Device status properties
Onyxx Devices have typical device-level status properties:
• Status - Status of the onyxxNetwork communications to this Onyxx Device; possible status flags include:
Ok - Normal communications, no other status flags
Disabled - Enabled property is set to false, either directly or in onyxxNetwork and while status is disabled,
all child onyxxPoints have disabled status; Onyxx Device polling is suspended
Fault - Typically configuration error, e.g. Onyxx Device (duplicate or invalid IO Port number)
Down - Error communicating to one or more Onyxx I/O processors on Onyxx XM 34IO
• Enabled - Either true (default) or false; can be set directly or in the parent onyxxNetwork; see Status disabled
description above
• Fault Cause - Describes the cause of a fault
• Health - Contains properties, including timestamps of last “ok” time and last “fail” time, and a string property
describing the last fail cause
