Manual or via DCS template
Parameters that can be configured are:
Device tag
You may enter a tag for the device to support identification. As all bus communication
is address-based, the device address is of highest importance.
Device signal amplitude limits
The physical layer standard IEC 61158-2 specifies transmit levels of 750 mV to
1000 mV under test conditions with two terminators. Under plant conditions, the
actual values will differ from segment to segment, and under some circumstances
even significantly.
Values down to 550 mV and up to 1200 mV should however cover most applications.
The default limits are set to the following:
MTL recommends that after successful commissioning, the device low limit is set to
75 % of current value and device high limit to 125 % of current value.
Retransmissions High PreAlert limit
The absolute number of retransmissions at which an alarm will be generated. Default
is 65535 which disables this alarm.
