1.
LLL Required. Applies to ALL instruments. The logical channel number assigned (1-
128).
PPP Required. Applies to ALL instruments. The physical address of the instrument.
For MODBUS instruments the address is in the range 1-247.
ID Required. Applies to ALL instruments. The instrument ID. MOD_PMC (Uses
FN Code 03 for reading) MMI_MOD (Uses FN Code 04 for reading)
IP: Required, Applies to ALL Ethernet instruments. The Ethernet address of the
instrument.
PI: Required, Applies to ALL Ethernet instruments. The target polling interval in
seconds. Range 1-10 seconds.
MB: Required. Specifies the Data block(s) to be polled. Up to 20 blocks may be
specified. Blocks are specified as xxx-yyy-t where xxx=address offset,
yyy=count of words to be read and t = data type. Total word count may not
exceed 78 words.
The data type is either I for integer or F for IEEE floating-
point, defaults to integer if not specified. Floating point data is converted to
integer for SuperData, use slot multipliers as required.
Example: to read 2
blocks of integer data, specify MB:1-10,MB:100-6. To read floating point data,
specify MB:1-10-F.
SMULT: Optional. Specifies Slot Multipliers. A multiplier may be specified for any of
the 78 slots (slots 0-77). Format as follows:
SMULT:SSxVALUE,…,SSxVALUE
Example: SMULT:2x100,12x0.01 The example applies a multiplier of 100 to slot
2 and a multiplier of 0.01 to slot 12. If not specified, the default multiplier is 1.
Note: In the MODBUS protocol data is sent as binary WORD registers, one
WORD normally represents an Integer value. However, two words may be used
to send an IEEE floating point value. In SuperData all data is stored as Integer
with implied decimal locations. Thus a floating point value of 1.12 would
normally be stored in SuperData as 1. To store the value in SuperData as 112
with implied decimal of 2, specify a slot multiplier for the associated slot.
NOLOG Optional. Applies to ALL instruments. Do not log data from this channel.
Include this when communications are required for real-time data but are not
required for historical data logging. If this is not included, the channel will be
data logged at one minute intervals.
ALM Optional. Applies to Channels that contain bitmapped alarms. The ALARM
configuration setup. ALM(PAL slot, Alarm offset, Alarm Bitmap Start Slot, Alarm
ACK Bitmap Slot, Number of Bitmap Slots). Normally this will be configured by
SSI personnel familiar with the application. If you are not sure, do not include
Bitmapped support. Invalid configurations may cause spurious invalid alarms to
be reported on RealTime and in AlarmReports.
ABC Optional. Applies to ALL instruments. Alarm Block Configuration . Caution:
any specified channel can use either ALM or ABC but not both. Allows a custom
Alarm Block Bitmap (one word) to be setup for any instrument but generally
used only for non-programmable instruments that are not capable of
maintaining alarm bitmaps. See the section on Custom Alarm Block
Configuration.
TAG Required. Applies to ALL instruments. Instrument name. Limited to 12
Characters with no spaces.
MMI 10Pro and Barber Coleman 560 Instrument
(Note: the 10PRO-E may also be polled in block mode using the MMIGEN-V4.0 instrument type polling block 1).
