Reporting Table
With the size of the Protege system the maximum reporting points available in the DVAC service format is easily
exceeded, to allow flexibility a reporting table has been created to allow information to be sent using pre-defined
zone numbers or values. There are 2 predefined configurations for the reporting tables.
SV001 Reporting
table: 000
To modify the port open attempts (000 to 255, a setting of 000 will result in the default of 8 port attempts being
used), use the keypad as explained in section Entering Decimal Numbers (see page 333) and press [ENTER].
Fail To Poll Time
The fail to poll time allows a timer to be triggered on each successful poll from the DVAC's network. This is also
used to generate the DVAC service fail to poll trouble zone which can be used to report over a standard phone
network using another service. When this timer expires the Fail To Poll PGM output will also be activated.
SV001 Poll fail
time: 120 secs
To modify the poll fail time (000 to 255, a setting of 000 will result in the default of 120 seconds being used), use
the keypad as explained in section Entering Decimal Numbers (see page 333) and press [ENTER].
Fail To Poll PGM Output
The fail to poll PGM output is activated when the DVAC service poll fail timer expires and is deactivated when
the DVAC service completes a valid communication. This PGM setting can be used to trigger an audible alarm
or other indication that DVAC hard line communication has failed.
SV001 Poll fail
pgm: --000:00
To modify the poll fail PGM, use the settings as explained in section Entering PGM and PGM Groups (see page
336).
ModBUS Slave Service
The ModBUS Slave service has two functions, one of these is to allow remote access to the Protege System
Controller from an Industrial Process Control solution or SCADA (System Control and Data Acquisition) System,
the other is to allow an Industrial Process, PLC or other device to generate reportable actions within the Protege
System Controller (Zone Activation) making reporting of plant and equipment alarms a very simple process.
To program the ModBUS slave service ensure that the service that has been selected is halted. Press the
[ENTER] key until the display shows the service type selection screen.
SV001 Ser Type
ModBUS (Slave)
Use the [1] and [3] keys to scroll the service types until you reach the ModBUS slave selection and press
[ENTER] to select the ModBUS slave type displayed and proceed to the next programmable option for the
ModBUS slave service. For more information about the list control data entry refer to the section List Control
Data Entry (see page 335).
i
The ModBUS Slave Service may require the RS232 serial interface to be converted from a RS485
Signal. Ensure the correct interface is used when interfacing to the Protege System Controller and
PRT-COMM. Refer to the communication PRT-COMM installation manual and ACC-485-ISO
documentation.
