separate documentation. The SNMP Plus option, available on the V5 ARC Plus Touch and SL, enables direct SNMP
control and monitoring of transmitters and other devices.
NEW IN FIRMWARE VERSION 5.0.8.1
The Captures feature, available on ARC Plus SL units with firmware 5.0.8.1 or newer, allows you to configure the
ARC Plus SL to store periodic captures (snapshots) of a specified range of channel values locally on The ARC Plus SL.
These captures can be downloaded later from a remote computer running AutoPilot software. Snapshots include a
timestamp, site, channel number, meter value, status value and alarm states.
NEW IN FIRMWARE VERSION 5.0.5.1
Extended length text labels can now be assigned to meter and command channels. Each meter channel label can
now include up to 20 characters. Each command channel label can now include up to 24 characters, displayed as
three lines of eight characters each.
NEW IN FIRMWARE VERSION 5.0.3.5
Warp Engine
TM
polling using AutoPilot® software is now supported. Warp Engine polling enables fast, efficient,
real-time monitoring of up to 100 sites per second, with each site reporting as many as 32 status and/or meter
values. Larger networks just take a little longer, for example polling up to 500 sites in 5 seconds. Warp Engine
polling uses very small packets, sending only required data and minimizing communications overhead. If
communications bandwidth is at a premium cost, it can be further reduced by selection of a slower polling rate.
AutoPilot version 2.10.50 or greater must be used for Warp Engine operation.
NEW IN FIRMWARE VERSION 5.0.2.6
SNMP Plus, an optional SNMP manager inside the Version 5 ARC Plus SL is now available, supporting SNMP SET and
Get commands.
Now it’s easier than ever to connect to remote site equipment with SNMP Plus –
the powerful new SNMP Manager
inside the ARC Plus SL. With SNMP Plus, traditional and SNMP equipment can be seamlessly integrated over the
same network. SNMP channels behave like any other ARC Plus channel. SNMP data can be mapped to ARC Plus
meter and status channels for monitoring and alarm generation. ARC Plus command channels can initiate SNMP
Set commands for control of connected SNMP equipment. And SNMP Plus enables creation of comprehensive
automated functions on the ARC Plus that encompass all controlled equipment whether connected via parallel
interface or SNMP. The SNMP Plus option can be added to any Version 5 ARC Plus Touch or SL. Instructions for
activation and operation of the SNMP Plus option can be found in the ARC Plus SL Version 5 User Guide, Rev D or
later.
