Terminal Class Definitions
The server must be stopped before you can start this mask in the Setup menue. All shaded fields are not applicable for the device Classes in question and cannot be activated.
Class Number
The referential number of the class is assigned internally and cannot be changed.
Class Name
The referential name of the class is predefined in German language and may be changed for the adaption to another language (in the above example “Zähler” would translate to “Counter”).
SCC Parameters
This button leads you to the mask with the serial interface(s) parameters of the selected Terminal Class. It looks like: page 14 HTS for Windows
SCC Number
Counters have only a serial interface and thus offer only a single choice.
Offline Timeout
Determines the Offline Timeout of a Terminal (seconds). If a Terminal out of the terminal list does not respond within this time period after it has been requested for it will be marked offline.
Repetitions
This parameter sets the number data transmission is repeated after an erroneous transmission sequence.
Broadcast Repetitions
This parameter sets the number a of repetitions for broadcast messages during the inter-terminal communication and is not relevant for counters nor the RTC.
Baudrate
Sets the data transfer rate. Please watch for the baudrate supported by the device classes.
The bus interface SCC2 for the RTC is by error sometimes set to 9600 when the mask is entered. Before you leave the mask, the value must be set to 4800 which is the highest possible baudrate for counters.
Data Bits / Parity
The number of data bits should always remain set to 7 and even parity and must match the settings of the appropriate function codes of the counters.
