58 Installation and Operations Manual
TempDeadband Specifies the amount of change in the Temp that must occur for the
Value to be updated each Change of State period. The default is 0.25.
TempOffset Specifies the amount of offset to add to the Temp. The default is 0.
Report Causes automatic notification to the Host (in response to a Change of
State Request) when the Value changes State. Parameter value can be
High, Low or No. Report=No disables notification. Points with Report =
High will be sent before points with Report = Low. The default is High.
Maxtime Specifies the maximum time (in secs) between automatic Change of
State responses being sent to the Host. Report must be set to either
Low or High for the Value parameter to be sent in response to a
Change of State Request. A value of 0 disables this option. Non-zero
values cause responses to be sent even if the value has not changed
since the last message. The default is 600.
Dynamic Parameters Function
Level Floating point value representing the tank level. The Level will be
presented in decimal feet or meters, depending upon the LevelConvert
parameter of the MSSCAN point.
Temp Floating point value representing the tank temperature. The
Temperature will be presented in Fahrenheit or Celsius, depending
upon the TempConvert parameter of the MSSCAN point
Alarm Byte value indicating status of option alarm contacts. Values are:
0x01: Alarm 0
0x02: Alarm 1
PntStatus Integer HEX value indicating status of point. Values are:
0x0001: Gauge Not Responding. The first time the gauge does not
respond, the 0x10 bit is set. On the second try, the 0x01 bit is set.
0x0002: Parity Error on last scan
0x0004: Data from the Gauge is Not Valid
0x0008: Timeout Error. The Motherboard monitors the Elapse
parameter. If data is not being updated (due to the 8210
malfunctioning), the 0x08 bit will be set.
0x0010: Gauge did not respond on last scan (pre-fail)
0x0020: Invalid Level
0x0040: Large change in Level or Temperature
0x0800: Mark Line shorted to ground
0x0400: Space Line shorted to ground
0x0200: Blown Fuse
0x0100: No +48 VDC
GaugeStatus Byte value indicating status of the gauge. Values are:
0x01: Alarm 0
0x02: Alarm 1
0x10: X400 Temp bit
0x20: X200 Temp bit
0x40: Temp Sign
0x80: X100 Temp bit
