9 Importing 3rd party Modbus devices
You can specify up to four types of 3rd party Modbus devices.
Once you have entered the corresponding license in the BreakerVisu
system, you can follow the steps below in order to activate support for
non-Eaton Modbus devices:
▶
The contents of the XML configuration file need to be updated using a
defined XML structure (for more information, please refer to the sample
XML configuration file in the appendix
configuration for 3rd party devices”, page 68).
▶
Copy the XML file to the BreakerVisu console‘s
\InternalStorage
directory.
The file name must correspond to the device type‘s number; the syntax
for the name of the file used to import device type x is
new_device_type_X.xml
(where X is a number between 1 and 4).
You can store a thumbnail image of the 3rd party device in BMP format
(with a size of 50 x 65 pixels) by copying it to the
\InternalStorage\PlePrg
directory. The image‘s name must be 3rdparty-X.bmp (where X is a
number between 1 and 4).
▶
Open the screen showing the available device types (
21:, “Available device types (7“ variant)”, page 28 for the 7" variant and
Section Figure 29:, “Existing device types (3.5“ variant)”, page 35 for
the 3.5“ variant).
This screen will show the available Eaton devices. If you have activated
the license for importing third-party device types, you will be able to
open the “Add more device types” screen. If not, the system will show
a message indicating that you need a license for the feature. Once you
activate the feature and open the “Add more device types” screen, you
will be able to add additional device types.
▶
The “Add more device types” screen will display any other device types
that have already been configured. If there are any third-party devices,
the
AUX TYPE
header will be highlighted in blue and the corresponding
text block will show the type‘s data (name, family, parameters).
▶
To add a new device type, select an empty
AUX TYPE
box. If you do not
select a device, the screen will show a message saying
Please select a
device
. Once you do so, a message saying
Device selected
will appear.
Please note that you can only select one single device type at a time.
▶
Tap the
IMPORT NEW
button after making your selection:
The message will change to
Reading in progress
and the yellow circle
will flash. Please note that the import process will take some time. Once
it is successfully completed, the message will change to
Device
imported
. If, on the other hand, the process fails, the message will
change to
Error during import
and a notification with a detailed cause
(corrupted file, too few parameters, etc.) will be displayed. If you tap the
IMPORT NEW
button, the XML file for the selected device type number
will be used (file
new_device_type2.xml
for AUX TYP 2, for example).
