RTM Elster AMCO applicative PFS Coronis Systems
4.2.Control bytes
Some internal parameters are very useful to configure RTM Elster AMCO module and verify its state. These
control bytes are:
Operating Mode,
Alarm Configuration,
Application Status,
Leakage detection Status,
4.2.1.Operating Mode
The “Operating Mode” is used to activate/deactivate each RTM Elster AMCO feature. This parameter is
accessible through the command write parameters.
“Operating Mode” parameter is systematically returned in generic header present in almost each response
frame of the RTM Elster AMCO.
4.2.2. Alarm Configuration
“Alarm Configuration” parameter is used to enable automatically alarm transmission on fault or other
anomaly independently.
Some internals features can be associated to an alarm configuration bit. To be sure that the Alarm frame will
be sent after fault or problem detection, the user must take care that the corresponding “Operating Mode”
bit is correctly set.
In case of manual network installation, Some other important information have to be configured in RTM
Elster AMCO such as the path to reach the root of the network.
ATTENTION :
When RTM Elster AMCO is programmed to send information periodically using Pseudo bubble
up feature, enabling alarm frames is not recommended. Indeed, in such a case alarm frame
management can generate collisions on the radio medium . However, information returned in
pseudo bubble up mode include RTM Elster AMCO Status bytes (Application Status & Leakage
Detection Status) allowing the user software to monitor default detection on the RTM without any
other necessary radio exchange.
4.2.3.Application Status
“ Application Status” parameter give at any time RTM Elster AMCO fault, or consumption-rate, status.
Each RTM Elster AMCO internal feature that can be activated or deactivated through its corresponding bit in
“Operating Mode” has an associated status bit in “Application status” parameter.
User has to reset each bit by writing the “Application Status” parameter once the default has been handled.
If a fault detection is not handled properly the corresponding bit in “Application Status” parameter will be
set once again.
