Netmask Address
In the format of nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn, where 0 ≤ nnn ≤ 255.
Description: A netmask is a series of bits designed to 'mask' certain
portions of an IP address. The standard netmask for a class C
network like FlashNet is 255.255.255.0 - basically the last octet, .0,
says 'look here for the machine number, the rest (255) is network
number'. The primary use for netmasks is in subnetting.
Host Addresses
In the format of nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn, where 0 ≤ nnn ≤ 255.
Description: The list of IP addresses from which connections to the
LMS1000 are allowed. Simply put, these are addresses of
machines permitted to make SNMP requests of the LMS1000.
Alarm Classes
You may specify an alarm class for each analog and function
channel alarm limit, each binary channel, and each relay and LED
channel which are set as alarm types in their respective
configurations. An alarm class is specified by assigning an alarm
class number (0 through 8, with 0 representing no alarm class) in
the above configurations.
Program lines accept an alarm classification right hand term. This
term is Kn, where n is a number from 1-8 which represents an
alarm class number. The K term will be true if an alarm occurs on
any analog or function channel alarm limit, or binary channel
programmed with this alarm class number in its configuration.
Note: Relay and LED channels programmed with an alarm class
number will NOT activate the alarm class term in a control
program.
Alarm classes are configured with the following attributes:
Alarm Class Name (5 characters maximum): The name associated
to this alarm class.
Alarm Class Number (1-8): The number associated to this alarm
class.
Program Lines
Note: Only one user at a time has access to the system internal
program line editor. If the program line editor is in use and
another user attempts to edit a program line, the user is
notified that the editor is in use.
Function Channel: The function channel’s program line (79
characters maximum) determines the value of the function
channel. A complete program line consists of a function channel
number on the left side of the equation, and a set of analog
channel numbers, function channel numbers, constants, and
mathematical operators on the right side of the equation. The left
and right sides of the equation are separated by an equal sign (=).
The system uses this equation and the values of the analog or
function channels to calculate the value associated with the
function channel. As an example, the expression watts = volts ×
amps can be duplicated using the function expression
Fn=A0001*A0003, where A0001 is a voltage input monitored on
analog channel A0001, and A0003 is a current input monitored on
analog channel A0003. Table 11 lists acceptable terms (and
definitions) for the left and right sides of a function channel
program line equation. The right side terms are joined by
operators, also listed in Table 11.
The program line of any function channel can be entered or revised
when configuring the function channels using the command
CONFIG, or by using the command SET PROGRAM.
Note: When the LMS1000 is used in a 582140000, 582140001, and
582126100 N
ETSURE Power System that communicates to the
LMS1000 using the LISP port, option channels F64 and F63 are
used to provide the values to the Power System MCA for ‘Total
Rectifier Output’ and ‘External Distribution Load’ status
readings respectively. Any value assigned/calculated in the
program lines of these channels will be passed to the MCA and
summed into the ‘Total Charger Output’ and ‘Total Load
Current’ respectively (as viewed on LMS1000 channels A9902
and A9904).
