W/O. Writing a ‘1’ to this tag will instruct the unit not to broadcast any more unsolicited responses. Need to be W/O, as there is no way of determining if unsoliciteds were disabled before Plant SCADA startup. This address does not relate to I/O data internal to the device, but relates to data internal to the driver, or an action to be performed by the driver. Note: This a Level 3 feature. |
