Failure Response-
This section tells the ROM what
to do if communication with the Interface Module fails.
It will either maintain the last value (
Hold
), or turn the
relay to a predetermined energized or de-energized
state (
On/Off
).
Commit/Cancel Buttons-
Click
Commit
when you
are finished selecting parameters to save the settings
to memory.
Cancel
ends your configuration without
saving changes.
Configuring the DIM
The DIM can be configured using the web server
contained within the Interface Module to which it is
attached. It can also be configured using the NCS
PC Configuration Software. For further details
please see the
Navigating the PC Program
in the
Configuration Section
of this manual. To configure the
DIM, you must first mount it to the Interface Module as
described in
Installing the I/O Modules
.
To access real-time data using MODBUS commands
instead of the web server, see
the MODBUS/TCP
Support
section in the MODBUS chapter of this
manual.
Note:
The DIM I/O module is set to factory defaults,
to use either method mentioned above to
configure with your desired parameters.
Contact Debounce
(Contact Closure DIM units only)-
When
some contacts open or close, there can be a short
period of oscillation resulting from the mechanical
contacts. The
Contact Debounce
setting causes
the NCS to ignore false signals caused by these
oscillations. This setting is only available with contact
closure DIM modules.
Saving Configuration Settings-
If you will be using
a common configuration within your system, you can
create a configuration and save it to a file so that
you can load it into another I/O module. Refer to the
Saving Configuration Settings
section of this manual
for more information.
Tag-
Assign a tag name, or descriptor, to process
variables for each channel. The
Process Status
page
will display the data next to the respective process
variable tag. These tags can also be read by the OPC
Server and can therefore be used to access process
data in the microNCS when configuring an OPC client.
