Reporting Method is the manner in which data messages are sent to a designated host
computer/controller. The V78 CRM-1 provides three Reporting Methods. These are
Command (upon request via data commands), Immediate (upon exiting
configuration), and Schedule (where reporting begins at a specified time). The
default Reporting Method is Command.
REPORT START TIME
Report Start Time is the time reporting begins when Schedule Reporting Method is
selected. The start of reporting may be delayed up to 24 hours from the current time
recorded by the M Series time-of-day clock and reporting will occur in cyclic periods
as determined by the Report Interval. The default Report Start Time is 00:00.
REPORT INTERVAL
You may program the V78 CRM-1 to report in repetitive periods using Schedule
Reporting Method, where the V78 CRM-1 will report all event data messages in the
receive buffer after the specified Report Interval has elapsed. The V78 CRM-1 will
report until the buffer is empty and then report again after the specified Report
Interval has expired. The default Report Interval is 00:00 (every 24 hours).
HOST ADDRESS
Host Address is the designated host module where event data messages are sent when
using Immediate or Schedule Reporting Method. The Host Address consists of the
Unit Number (1 to 32), Module Number (1 to 16), and Port Number (1 to 4) of the
designated host module. The default Host Address is Unit 1, Module 1, Port 1.
TIME TAG
When Time Tag is enabled, a time tag is included in each data message which is
appended immediately after the actual relay status. The time tag consists of the
month, day, year, hour, minute, and second at which the data was calculated. Time
Tag may be enabled or disabled. The default Time Tag is disabled.
TERMINATING CHARACTER(S)
The Terminating Character(s) is added at the end of a complete data message to
match the requirements of the host terminal or application software. The Terminating
Character(s) consists of one or two hexadecimal characters. The default Terminating
Characters are 0D Hex <cr> followed by 0A Hex <lf>.
