FTP / SFTP Settings (If FTP uploads are to be used):

Connection Type
: 'FTP in active mode’ is the default. ‘FTP in passive mode’ means that all
connections to the server are initiated by the client. Often the reason for using this mode is to
prevent a firewall blocking the connections. ‘SFTP’ can also be selected which is a different
protocol with added security, using Secure Shell (SSH)

•
Port
: TCP Port for this server. Usually this is 21 for FTP or 22 for SFTP.
•
Username and Password

•
Folder
: A folder found in the root folder of the FTP server, e.g. reports, or the path to a subfolder,
e.g. reports/workshop. The folder entered here must exist on the server. Leave blank if just
uploading to root folder.

6.4.5 - Altering, Duplicating or deleting an existing scheduled report
To see the settings for an existing scheduled report, open the
Configuration
folder and then the
CSV
Reports
folder, then click the appropriate report ID. Any settings can be altered and the report saved
again. If the Report ID is altered, this will duplicate these settings and create a new report. Use the delete
icon to remove this scheduled report.
6.5 - Modbus Slave Functionality
Applicable only to devices with Modbus additional functionality.
If the device is set up as a Modbus TCP/IP Slave, any input for which data is being received can be
assigned a register number so that the latest value can be read via Modbus at any time.
The returned value for inputs from a C2i
EnCompass
on the network will always be the latest
value known to the
EnCompass
, which is updated periodically when it sends data, typically
every 15 minutes.
To access the page for the Modbus Server, open the
Configuration
folder and then the
Modbus
Server
Settings
folder, then click
Modbus
Server
Settings
.
The top section of this page gives options for the status of the Modbus Server (On/Off), and the TCP
Port used for requests, which
cannot
be any of the following reserved ports:
20, 21, 25, 80, 102, 123, 5001, 32123, 34962, 34963, 32964
Once the status has been set to
On
, and the page saved for the first time, you are able to assign specific
inputs to specific Modbus addresses. You can choose which addressing mode for registers, as follows:
Register Addresses (Absolute),
in which the first input coil is displayed as 10001 and the first input
register is displayed as 30001, or
Input Numbers Within Type
, in which the first input coil is displayed as
0 and the first input register is also displayed as 0.
