3.25 Module Custom Configuration Screen
3.25.1 Overview
The Custom module setup screen allows you to enter details from the custom device’s Modbus map so that
PV Clinics can record and monitor the data. It also allows you to set alarms on each value supplied by the
custom device. If the alarm conditions are triggered a SMS and/or Email will be sent according to the confi-
guration for that Custom Devices Group.
Normally you will add a device from the Custom Device library and the Modbus Map will already be confi-
gured. You can use this screen to make adjustments and set alarm values. You should also go through the
Names and Descriptions of each device parameter and remove them if they are not important to your appli-
cation. Removing redundant values will make the map simpler and easier to follow.
3.25.2 General settings
Name and Description
These fields allow you to add information that allows you to quickly identify the custom device. They do not
affect the device operation. The name must be unique (if it is not the program will use the first communica-
tions device with that name).
Note: The name will become the table name in the database where the measurements taken from this de-
vice are stored.
Enable Module

surements will be recorded at the interval you entered the site level ‘Historic update’ setting and kept as long
