Yokogawa DX Serial Driver
has been invoked. To invoke a reset, a non-zero value must be written to the Reset tag. Once the Reset tag
has been invoked the driver will reinitialize all startup data from the device.
Alarm Setpoints
Data values for Alarm Setpoints that are undefined in the device will be returned as +INF. Data values can
only be written to Alarm Setpoints that are defined in the device. Write operations to undefined Alarm
Setpoints will return an error. Write operations are available only for users logged in at the Administrator
level and will return an error otherwise. Alarm setpoint values are read one channel at a time. For devices
with a large number of channels, increasing the scan rate of ASP items and/or reducing the number of active
ASP items will increase the read performance of the PV and alarm data.
Scales
Data values for Scale_Hi and Scale_Lo for channels that are skipped will be returned as +INF.
Tag Names
For devices that do not support tag names and channels that have unspecified tag names, the driver will
construct an internal tag name based on the channel number. For example, the tag name of address 'CH01'
will be returned as 'CH01'.

The CD address type is only valid for devices equipped with the math option and write operations to CD
addresses for non-math equipped devices will return an error. Write operations are available only for users
logged in at the Administrator level and will return an error otherwise. Note that CD addresses are initialized
(read) at startup and will not be reread unless the server is restarted or the Reset tag is invoked. For more
information, refer to
Model Name of Device
The Model address type will have a string value of 'DX100' or 'DX200', indicating the model series returned

The MathControl address type is only available for devices equipped with the math option; otherwise, write
operations to the MathControl tag for non-math equipped devices will return an error.
