This form is used to edit this point’s settings.
Point Number #
Tells what I/O Point is currently being edited.
Name
This is a 16 character descriptor for this I/O Point. This is simply a label to help describe what
the point is monitoring. It will be displayed on dialer Fax reports, Print reports, and on
MicroWin 2000EX Realtime Data forms and reports.
Type
This tells the dialer how to treat this I/O Channel. Each dialer channel can be programmed to
operate independent of the others. Changing the Type of a dialer channel is dependent on the
hardware module that is currently installed in this dialer channel.
Based on the current type of module being programmed, only applicable values will be editable on
the form. For example, if the current type of module is an Input Type, the setting for changing the
Current Output State will not be shown. Also, if the current type of module is a Digital Type
(Opened/Closed), the settings for Analog Channel Types (Some Variable Level) won’t be shown,
and vise versa.
Spare Channel Type
This channel input is ignored by the dialer. All channels that are currently being unused should be
programmed as Spare.
Input Types
Input Types are used for monitoring current situations out in the field. They can be used in
different ways. One way is to only report the current condition in the field and not call out on an
abnormal/fault condition (Alarm Configuration = Status). Another way is to use the channel is
as an alarm reporting channel to cause alarm call outs when a fault condition occurs (Alarm
Configuration = Call On Alarm). There is also a setting for these channels to call out when an
alarm condition occurs and when it clears (Alarm Configuration = Call/Return).
