RETURNS The current settings.
REMARKS GET/SET.
REMOTE Yes, via XCONF.
EXAMPLE This example shows a setup where a status change of one of
he valve ports will throw a digital port event.
Additionally, the state of the valves will be recorded
every 3600 seconds with a digital port event.

DYNSLOT
D
ESCRIPTION Sets/returns the dynamic slot switching function of the device. The
dynamic slot switching function checks whether the measurement
value of a given sensor matches the given condition, then switches
between two operating modes:
1—normal mode (when the condition is false and the lock timer is
zero)
2—execution mode (when the condition is true and the lock timer
is non-zero)
The rules for the mode switching are:
• When the condition becomes true the first time, exception mode
is entered and the lock timer is set.
• While the condition is true, the lock timer is set at every sample;
thus it does not reach zero.
• While the condition is false, the lock timer is decremented if not
already zero.
• When the lock timer reaches zero, normal mode is entered.
• The SLOT settings are changed only when the mode changes.
Thus, the RTU enters exception mode whenever a sample value
matches the condition, and stays there until the sample value does
not match the condition for at least the given lock time (this prevents
excessive wear of the EEPROM due to jitter in the measurement
value).
PARAMETERS 1—sensor type (0=none, 1=internal battery, 2=anlg, 3=port,
4=counter).
2—sensor address (channel number as in the ANLG and PORT
command).
3—limit type (0=above, 1=below, 2=out of range, 3=within range).
