Data Flow Station Draw Drawing Method

Available in VTScada-based applications.

Used by:  Data Flow RTU

 

The Data Flow Station Draw tag drawing method is used to create a button that an operator may click in order to view information about the modules that have been installed at the physical RTU being represented by the associated tag.

 

Each lettered module (A to H shown here) represents represents one of the physical I/O cards installed in the DFS RTU.  The three-letter abbreviation following the colon represents the type of I/O card and may be one of the following:

•    ACM – Analog Control Module : four analog outputs

•    AMM  - Analog Monitor Module : four analog inputs

•    DCM – Digital Control Module : (4 digital outputs + 8 digital inputs) or (8 digital outputs + 4 digital inputs) depending on the model

•    DMM – Digital Monitor Module : 12 digital inputs

 

For the Analog Control Module, the value in this dialog represents the raw (unscaled) value to write to the I/O card that controls the analog output signal on the card.  The Slew Rate controls how fast the value changes from its current value.  A slow slew rate would mean that the value changes gradually from the current value to the new value. 

 

The Graphic Editor for this button provides no configurable options.
