Download Parameters
Associated with: Sofrel S500 Series Outstations.
Security permission required to access this pick action: Configure.
The Download Parameters action is available for Sofrel S500 series outstations using the LACBUS-RTU protocol. These outstations are pre-configured before being connected and setup within Geo SCADA Expert. You can use Geo SCADA Expert to modify parameters within the outstation configuration and this action allows you to download the parameter changes to the outstation.
If the Call Recipients feature is disabled in Geo SCADA Expert then this pick action is not available.
When you select the Download Parameters action the Download Parameters dialog box is displayed.
Use the Download combo box to select one of the following options:
- Changed Parameters Only — this option only downloads the parameters that have been changed. Geo SCADA Expert maintains a record of the current parameters in the outstation in order to determine the changes since the previous download or upload.
The first download includes all parameters unless an upload has first been performed, since the current parameters will not be known.
If changes are made to the parameters externally (for example, using SOFTOOLS or another master station) then these changes will not be known to Geo SCADA Expert (unless an upload is performed) and therefore downloading Changed Parameters Only may not produce the expected results.
- All Parameters — this option downloads all the parameters, overwriting all existing parameter settings.
Select OK to initiate the download.
Call Recipients are currently the only parameters that are supported by Geo SCADA Expert.
