Snell Wilcox IQHCO3193-1A
The aim of this connector is to monitor and control the IQHCO3193-1A device and mainly to configure the logical conditions that are used by the device for auto-switching.
About
This connector implements the RollCall protocol (serial protocol) for all communication with the device.
It is a smart-serial single connector, so all the updates are sent by the device asynchronously, which reduces the network load and improves performance.
The version 1.0.0.1 was built for the firmware 4668.
Installation and configuration
Creation
This connector uses a serial connection and requires the following input during element creation:
SERIAL CONNECTION
- IP address/host: The polling IP of the device, e.g., 172.16.61.11.
- IP port: The IP port of the device, e.g., 2050.
- Bus address: Used to fill in the Unit Address and the Unit Port, e.g., 26.02 is for Unit Address 0x26 and Unit Port 0x02.
