exchange is individually configurable and can produce and
send data to the same or to different consuming nodes. For
EGD implementation and configuration details, see the PM174
GE EGD Communications Protocol Reference Guide.
To enter the Setup dialog, select the device site from the list
box on the PAS toolbar, select Communications Setup from
the Meter Setup menu, and then click on the GE EGD
Producer Setup tab.
To configure an EGD exchange:
1. Select a desired exchange ID.
2. Specify a destination IP address of the data-consuming
node.
3. Specify the production period for the exchange. The
PM174 exchanges provide production rates from 70 ms to
10 minutes in 10 ms increments. Though lower settings
are allowed, the actual production period in most cases
will not be less than 70 ms.
4. Select “Enabled” in the Exchange Status box to enable
the exchange operations.
5. Define address ranges for the points to be sent via the
exchange and the data element type for each address
range. Up to 30 point ranges can be selected for each
exchange that may identify a single point or a range of
contiguous points.
Specify the data ranges using the range start point and
end point identifiers (ID) in decimal notation. For the
available device data points and their IDs, refer the
PM174 GE EGD Communications Protocol Reference
Guide.
Select a desired data type for the point range. Data
transferred through the exchange can be represented in
word (16-bit) or double word (32-bit) integer format, or in
IEEE single precision floating-point format.
As you specify an address range for the exchange, PAS
immediately shows you the data offset in bytes in the
production data area for the following range. Each
exchange can send a total of 480 bytes of production
