Description

Enable Time Sync

Informs whether this Driver accepts requests for clock syncing, which the sync Windows clock

Enable Time Zone Offset on Sync

Applies a local timezone to the clock to sync

Report Events in GMT TIme

Changes the timestamp of Tags, changing them to GMT based on Windows regional settings and daylight saving time

Use Callbacks for Commands

Notifies application Tags immediately when commands are received from a Master. If this option is not selected, that notification is based on the scan of each command Tag

Generate Event on First Write

Indicates whether the first writing of a Tag must generate an event or not. If this option is not selected, the first writing only creates a point o this Driver's internal database, and that value is used for comparison starting with the second writing, checking whether there was an event or change of value or quality. If this option is selected, the first writing creates a point on this Driver's internal database and generates an event

Limit Event Class Msg Size - Single Datalink Fragment

Limits event messages to a Data Link fragment at a time

Sync Events with Stby Driver

If there is a second Slave in the same application that is operating redundantly, that is, the Master side selects by which channel the communication is performed, this option instructs this Driver that for each received confirmation message of classes of events, it generates a corresponding message to send to the redundant Driver

Stop Analog events if not connected

Stops accumulating analog events when the connection to a Master is interrupted. The current value of each analog Tag keeps being stored. This applies to objects 32 and 33

One Analog Event per Index

Sends only one event by index at each communication, so that communication become more compatible with implementations of Masters supporting a single event at a time

Sort Analog Events by Index

Instructs this Driver to sort analog events (objects 3X, any Variation) by their index and not by their timestamp, according to what is performed by default for all other events. This allows Sag/Swell-type events of a point to be reported together, so that the Master side understand this is an event of that type

Ignore Assign Class Requests

Instructs the driver to ignore Assign class requests that may be received. que forem recebidos. The "Assign Class" is a DNP function which allows a dynamic association between an object and an event class 1, 2 or 3.

Limit All Responses - Single App Fragment

If the DNP Master only accepts a single application fragment per response to a request, check this option. Please note that unsolicited messages always use a single application fragment.

Add new timestamped event on First Connection

When a master connects for the first time, this option makes this driver to generate new timestamped events based on current values. This gives an opportunity for the master to receive values with timestamp before a class 0 (integrity) request.

According to DNP specification, class 0 shall return current static values without timestamp information, which may cause wrong timestamp information if the master receives value changes from class 0 response.

With this option, if the master asks for events before class 0, or if unsolicited messages are enabled, it can receive current values with timestamp, if the points are configured accordingly.

 

This is valid only for tags configured with SOETYPE option with timestamp (Defined at N1 parameter).

Add new timestamped event on Reconnection

The same as above, but for reconnections (2nd connection and beyond).
