Groupings*
If the
Groupings
special function is enabled on your
iFerm Nano Terminal
, you can activate it to
manage your connected devices in three groups of 10 devices each. From your devices, you then
form groups in order to give them a common group name and to display them in the group view.
This gives you a quick overview of the various devices.
When necessary this allows you to, for example, set the operating mode of a group’s devices cen
-
trally, and even to define setpoint and alarm values centrally.
Example
● The tanks with the IDs 1-10 are combined in
the group with the name GR - 1.
● Specific device images are not assigned.
● The tanks with the ID 1 (T 001) and 6 (T 006)
cool, the setpoint and actual temperatures
are displayed.
● The tank with the ID 2 (T 002) heats, the
setpoint and actual temperatures are
displayed.
● The tank with the ID 3 (T 003) is in Auto
-
matic mode, the setpoint and actual tem
-
peratures are displayed.
● The remaining tanks are observed in
Monitor
mode, only the actual temperature
is displayed.
Information
Generally, the devices with the IDs 1–10 can form the first group, those
with the IDs 11–20 the second group and IDs 21–30 the third group.
Alternatively, the third group can be used for circuit management.
