--- The operational parameters
--- The meter readings.This page describes the device driver and the device window for the Advantech Wireless BUC via a Monitor and control panel M&C 100 over serial interface. It uses the Advantech MCP protocol.
Default serial addresses are as following for 2:1 redundancy
It was tested with 2:1 redundant SSPAs type: SSPA-ARMA-Cx400
Device window pages
The following table shows which device window pages are available with this individual device type.
--- The operational parameters --- The meter readings.Configuration parameters
At the maintenance page of the device window there are a couple of configuration parameters which must be set to make the software talk to the unit.
| parameter | description |
|---|---|
| address | Device address for serial communication |
| Serial | Remember to set the line parameters for the serial interface |
| readBackDelay | Defines the delay the driver uses when it reads back parameters recently commanded. The delay is initialized at a proved preset value which should not be changed under normal circumstances. |
