Fast Scan 1 to 3.
A Fast Scan is a system used when operating in conjunction with the XCell Data Concentrator. As the XCell polls
relays attached on its network, the fastscan settings allows the user to select important data to be read at a quicker
rate.
The data on the communications link is broken into Fast Scan Data (or Process Critical Data) and Slow Scan or Full
Read Data (Electrical Engineering Data).
The configuration of Fast Scan is not necessary unless the MR-REF & MR-REF3 in used in conjunction with the
XCell unit.
Each Fast Scan number can be programmed to export important data when requested. This number references an
internal address in MR-REF & MR-REF3 and allows configurable data mapping between units.
Max Scan Time.
This setting need only be used in order to limit the amount of data traffic on a RS485 network. Dynamic data can
change rapidly, this setting allows the MR-REF & MR-REF3 to limit the number of updates it makes to its Fast Scan
values.
