Parameter Reading |
Use PLC Tags or Block Tags to read parameters from a given infusion pump. Use as many Tags as needed to read parameters, and there must be one Tag per parameter. This Tag returns a reading error if the selected parameter does not have the same name used by the device when communicating.
Syntactic and size parameters
Device |
Address of an infusion pump |
Item |
Parameter's name |
Size |
2 (two) if it is a Block Tag |
If users want to omit the Device field, the expected syntax for the Item field is the following:
<Infusion pump address>:<Parameter's name>
Block Element |
Value |
|---|---|
Element 1 |
Time since a SpaceCom device was turned on, in seconds |
Element 2 |
Parameter's value. The data type of this value depends on which parameter it refers to |
The PLC Tag's Value property contains the value of the parameter, and its data type depends on which parameter it refers to. Compared to a Block Tag, it is the same content as Element 2.
Data types of values, depending on which parameters they refer to, can be DWord, Double, Date, or String.
NOTES |
•The TIME parameter contain a value in DWord format corresponding to the number of seconds elapsed in a day. •The DATE and DLCRETIME parameters contain their respective values in Date format. •A device can provide a parameter without a value. In this case, the Value property of a PLC Tag or the Element 2 of a Block Tag display an empty value. |
