Outputs
OneSix can send output packets to output devices. (Normally sensors do not receive
packets) Output devices must be setup manually. Some Outputs need to be “trained”
to the packets that it will receive for from the Server.
New and Edit
Create or edit an Output object to manage an Output sensor. The following
describe the parameters necessary to set up an Output sensor.
Type
– “Dual Discrete Outputs” or “12 bit Analog Output”. Select the type
of Output sensor. Note changeable only for the Edit Output window.
Serial Number
– Some Outputs sensors can “learn” a serial number. Others
have the serial number preassigned and must be entered in the field.
These sensors have the serial number labeled. For those sensors that
must learn their serial number, OneSix creates a default serial number.
Press the “Generate New Serial Number” button to generate a new
serial number.
Label
– name assigned for this Output sensor. The label name is used for
the OPC topic name. This name must be unique. For the Edit Window,
the Label field contains a list box. Select the Output to modify from the
list. You can also change the label for the current Output.
Node
– This field applies only when using the TCP/IP Receiver. The Node
List box contains a list of the TCP/IP Receivers to send the output
packet to. For the “Send All” selection, OneSix will send the packet to
all the TCP/IP Receivers.
Dual Discrete Outputs
Send when output B is written
– If checked, OneSix will only send the
output packet only when the “outputB” item is written to. Output A is
first written to and the output B. If unchecked, OneSix will send the
output packet when either the “outputA” or “outputB” items are written
to. The state both outputs are sent in the same packet.
12 bit Analog Output
Scale
– the scale to apply to the raw reading (12 bits: 0 to 4095).
Offset
– the offset to apply to the reading after the scale is applied.
Engeering Value = Scale * raw + Offset.
Units
– units label for the analog output.
Train
The Train dialog is used in the processing of training the Output device to output
packets (as produced by OneSix). Follow these steps to train an Output device:
1. Select the desired Output from the list of Outputs.
2. Press and hold the button on the Output device (label as “train”).
3. Click the button on the Train window. Repeat until the LED on the
Output device is on.
The Output device is now ready to receive Output packets from OneSix.
