Property Description
YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SS.sssZPhh:mm
The first segment of the time stamp (YYYY-MM-DD)
represents the date the configuration of the Data Point was last
updated. The second segment (after the T): HH:MM:SS.sss
represents the time of day the configuration of the Data Point
was last updated, in UTC (Coordinated Universal Time).
UTC is the current term for what was commonly referred to as
Greenwich Meridian Time (GMT). Zero (0) hours UTC is
midnight in Greenwich England, which lies on the zero
longitudinal meridian. Universal time is based on a 24 hour
clock; therefore, an afternoon hour such as 4 pm UTC would be
expressed as 16:00 UTC. The Z appended to the timestamp
indicates that it is in UTC. It can be left out.
For example, 2002-08-15T10:13:13Z indicates a UTC time of
10:13:13 AM on August 15, 2002.
If it is not UTC, time shift has to be defined:
2008-02-28T09:59:53.660+01:00
A user-defined description of the M-Bus data point. This can be
a maximum of 201 characters long.
The name of the file on the SmartServer flash disk containing
the configuration of the M-Bus data point. This property is
MBS_Dp_Cfg.htm by default.
• The M-Bus data point’s program ID; data type (SNVT,
SCPT, UNVT, UCPT, or built-in data type); and format
(e.g., SI metric or US customary if the type has multiple
formats. The format description is displayed in the
following format:
#<manufacturer ID>[scope selector].<type name>[#format] .
This determines many factors about the M-Bus data point,
including the type of values it takes and its base type. If you do
not set this property, it is set to RAW_HEX and the M-Bus data
point uses raw hex values.
Specifies the size (in bytes) of the M-Bus data point.
Specifies whether the Modbus data point is an input data point
(DIR_IN), output data point (DIR_OUT), or undefined
(DIR_NUL).
The handle assigned to the M-Bus data point assigned by the
SmartServer. When you use the Set function to modify the
configuration of an existing M-Bus data point, you must specify
the data point’s handle. If you do not specify the handle, a new
M-Bus device is created. You cannot use the Set function to
modify the handle assigned to the M-Bus data point.
