Channels (Alarm Sender) |
0 |
Opens the editor for creating the channels / alarms in case the component is to act as an alarm transmitter. Each channel can be assigned a name and a slave number (id of the associated ESPA slave). Furthermore, the further information of a "Call To Pager" message is defined here. This includes the telephone number, the message content, the beep code (system-specific), the call type, the number of transmissions (including repetitions) and the priority defined. |
Channels (Alarm Receiver) |
0 |
Opens the editor for creating the channels / alarms in case the component is to act as alarm receiver. Each channel can be assigned a name, a group and an alarm number. |
Group triggers Channels |
|
Here you can set whether the channel DPs belonging to a group are triggered when a group message is received. |
COM-Port |
|
(Virtual) COM port of the ESPA interface |
Baud-Rate |
300 |
BAUD rate of the ESPA interface |
Data Bits |
8 |
Number of data bits of the ESPA interface |
Stop Bits |
1 |
Number of stop bits of the ESPA interface |
Parity |
even |
Specification of the parity of the ESPA interface |
ESPA Address |
2 |
ESPA address of the component (usually 1 for master) |
Channel Mapping* |
Message Coding |
This defines how the assignment of a received ESPA message to one of the defined channels should be performed. |
Message on alarm end |
|
If this option is activated and a message about a terminated alarm is received, a message will be displayed on the associated message output that the alarm has ended. If the option is deactivated, the message DP is not triggered. |
Driver On/Off |
|
This can be used to set whether the component should be active when the system is started. |
Channels
* The setting "Receiver -> Channel number" causes the corresponding channel to be performed by comparing the number and the recipient of the message set in the channel. To do this, the ESPA Master must address recipients with numbers, and the project engineer must ensure that the recipients in the ESPA Master agree with the numbers in the Polar Bear Channel Editor.
The setting "Text -> Channel Name" makes the channel assignment based on the comparison of channel name and message text. To do this, the project developer must ensure that the corresponding texts are sent by the ESPA Master.
The setting "Message coding -> Code GGG / MM" determines the channel according to a code in the message text. The message must consist of any code (without spaces) and (separated by a space) a group number and a sensor number (separated by a, / ') (example "abcde 12/33"). The channel assignment is made by comparing the group number and the sensor number (must match the channel number). A sensor number of 0 is counted as a group broadcast (all channels belonging to the group are triggered).

Output |
"Alarm" is triggered when a message is received for one channel of the group with active alarm state. |

Output |
"Alarm Complete" is triggered when a message is received for a channel of the alarm terminated group. |
- - Message [Raw] |
Output |
Via "Message", the message text is output when a message for a channel of the group with active alarm status is received. The same applies to a message with the alarm status ended, if the corresponding setting is set. |

- - - Cancel call |
Input |
Via "Cancel call" a message is sent from the Call-Type = Reset / Cancel to cancel a call if necessary. |
- - - Send (with value) |
Input |
If a value is sent to this data point, the corresponding message is sent to the defined ESPA slave. The message content here corresponds to the value defined in the channel editor plus the string representation of the value sent to the data point. |
- - - Send (as defined) |
Input |
If a TRUE value is sent to this data point, the corresponding message is sent to the defined ESPA slave. The message content here corresponds to the value defined in the channel editor. |
