Appendix C. Reference
Appendix C.1. Simplex Address Formatting – Specific Keywords
The Simplex Time Recorder Company - 4100 Computer Port Protocol only uses the standard 4100 address format
of --. Symbolic addressing is not supported. The following table lists keywords which
control the behavior of the FieldServer with respect to connection to a Simplex device and the permissible values
determining the type of data being read/written.
Keyword Description Function
Ackall
This command acknowledges all card-point-sub states based on
the values found in the associated arrays.
The FieldServer watches the Data Array to see if we need to
send an ack.
DA element Accepted
1
st – ack all
2 nd - ack A primary abnormal state
3 rd – ack F Fire alarm
4 th – ack P Priority 2
5 th – ack S Supervisory
6 th – ack T Trouble
7 th – ack C Control
Set the array element to 1 to initiate the command. The
FieldServer clears the value on completion.
WRBC
Do not specify c-p-s in the Map Descriptor.
Ack
This command allows the user to acknowledge a single point.
The specified Data Array is inspected and the value of the single
element is used to determine which device state's are ack'd.
Refer to Appendix A.4.5
WRBC
Specify c-p-s in the Map Descriptor.
Clist
This command returns the current point status for one point.
Refer to Appendix A.6.2 RDBC
Specify c-p-s in the Map Descriptor.
Earths 5
This function obtains earth/ground status information from the
panel. Two Data Array elements are used to store the normal
(=1) or abnormal (=2) for each card. The first element is for the
positive ground and the second element is the negative ground.
Where cards do not report both, the first element of the pair is
used.
The array position is obtained by multiplying the card number by
two and adding the offset specified in the Map Descriptor. Set
the length of this Map Descriptor to twice the value of the
maximum card number.
RDBC
Do not specify c-p-s in the Map Descriptor.
Value
Stores analog value(s) read from a particular devicewithout
scaling or units. When more than one value is reported the
driver stores the values in consecutive array elements. Ensure
that the Map Descriptor’s usage of the Data Arrays is spaced
appropriately.
RDBC
Specify c-p-s in the Map Descriptor.
5 This driver function used the Simplex ‘CSHOW c-p-s CVAL’ command. It is only supported by panels with firmware revision numbers greater
than 10
