Equipment Configuration Parameters

The following equipment configuration parameters defined in the equipment template are applicable to most meters, drives and valves. They are configured on each equipment instance created in the Equipment Editor. Any exception is noted in the parameter description.

• InternalIODevice

  Name of the persisted memory PLC that stores the value of internal tags to control the value of a library object. For example, the PRHigh, PRLow, ORHigh and ORLow tags may exist in the PLC

• CicodeIODevice

  Name of the I/O device that is used to store values for calculated variables. For example, EqStatus.

• EqStatusFunc

  Name of the Cicode function needed to evaluate the value of the status indicator. For example, EquipmentStatus_Drive_GetValue.

• CtrlMode

  Default value for the control mode, which is a value of 0, 1,2,3 or 4 (Automatic, Manual, etc). The CtrlDef defines the current control mode of the equipment set at the PLC evel. It takes the same values as the CtrlMode.

• Range

  Used to specify the engineering high and low values for tags that have integer values. For example, PV, PVTrack, SP, PRHigh, PRLow, ORHigh, ORLow.

  Note that most tags need to have the same range values.

• Alarm Limits

  Used to define alarm limits if using analog alarms.

  Note: This parameter is not available for valve objects.

• Height

  Used only for a Feeder Gate, this is used to specify the engineering range for the height of the gate.

• WindSpeedRange

  Used only for a Wind Compass, this is used to specify the high and low values for wind speed tags.

• SwitchPosition

  Used only for a Handswitch Selector, this tag indicates the position of the handswitch - whether it is left (1), right (2) or center (3).
