End of message idle
timer
The end of message idle timer is used to terminate a message based on the
inter-character timeout. If no character is received for more than the end of
message timer the message is terminated. The end of message idle timer is
measured in seconds with 1 decimal place. A end of message idle timer
value of zero means this feature is disabled and the message will never
terminated based on time.
The default value is 1 second.
Strip message delimiter
mode
If the start of message string or end of message string is specified these can
be stripped before being sent to the host. The strip delimiter mode can be
set to: NONE,SOM,EOM,BOTH. NONE is used to not strip either
delimiter. SOM is used to strip only the start of message string. EOM is
used to strip only the end of message string. BOTH is used to strip both the
start of message string and the end of message string.
The default is NONE.
RTU Time Stamp
The RTU message can be prepended with a string indicating the time the
end of message was determined. The standard format of the time stamp is:
HH:MM:SS<CR><LF>
RTU Date Stamp
The RTU message can be prepended with a string indicating the date the
end of message was determined. The standard format of the date stamp is:
YYYY-MM-DD<CR><LF>
If both the time and state stamp are enabled the date/time stamp is in the
format:
YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS<CR><LF>
The format of both the date and time may be changed with the ‘datefmt’
command.
RTU message
transmission
If the RTU message transmission is set to “IMMEDIATE” the message is
transmitted immediately. If the RTU message transmission is set to
“SCHEDULED” the message is transmitted on the next scheduled event.
See the command ‘evtcfg’ or ‘satcfg’ for information on configuring the
scheduled event.
The default value is IMMEDIATE.
RTU retry time
If the message is not successfully sent to the host the message is retried
based on the RTU retry time. This value together with the
number of RTU
retries
and
RTU buffer message flag
control how data is handled by the
SDT 5000.
The default value is 20 seconds.
