USERNAME, PASSWORD and PORT.
URLx
This field specifies the destination for the alarm. The URL can be a name such as
“alarms.sutron.com” or an IP such as 192.168.20.14.
Typex
The 8310 supports 3 types of alarm transmissions via the LAN device:
DATA -- sends an ASCII format message, alarms are automatically acknowledged.
SSP -- sends an SSP format message.
COMPUTER -- sends an ASCII message and then prompts “Press Enter to acknowledge alarms”.
Computer acknowledges by sending a CR as prompted.
Keep in mind that type=DATA will behave as if the alarm was acknowledged meaning further
URL’s will not be attempted unless SendToAll has been set to Yes.
UserNamex
Only used by SSP when the master station requires login
Passwordx
Only used by SSP when the master station requires login.
Portx
TCP/IP port at the master station for the communications.
SendToAll
YES – send to all simultaneously.
NO – send sequentially to URL1, 2, 3. Any acknowledgement of the alarm stops stops the
output.
TxNormalRate
This field is in the format HH:MM:SS and defines how often to send selftimed alarms when the
system is not in alarm. This could be set to 24:00:00 just to be sure that the system is still
operating.
TxAlarmRate
This field is in the format HH:MM:SS and defines how often to send selftimed alarms when the
system is in alarm. This may be set to a moderate rate (say 00:05:00) to provide constant
updates of the current data while an alarm condition exists.
Station Setup/Communications/COMx MODBUS
This menu is used to configure MODBUS communications over a serial bus (COM port). This menu
configures serial settings for both Master and Slave operations. “Master” operations are initiated by
MBSensor input types and MBOut measurement types. “Slave” operations means the 8310 listens for
commands to read and write local Modbus registers, taking action only when a command is received
from a Modbus master. Local registers are defined in measurement output settings menus. See
MODBUS for more information on how to define local registers.
