Source

Associated with: Many Sofrel specific database items.

The Source attribute is common to many Status displays. The attribute indicates the location at which the item resides. The information shown varies, depending on the item.

The Source attribute displays the value Undefined if the item’s configuration is incomplete, in so far as the device with which the item is associated has not yet been specified.

The Sofrel outstation Source attribute displays the configured RTU Number (and ID code if used). The RTU Number determines the Modbus address assigned to the outstation (see Configuring the Sofrel Tab)

For outstations information is displayed in this format:

RTU <RTU Number>:ID <Id1>.<Id2>

The ID code is only included if a number has been assigned in the configuration of the outstation, (see Configuring a Sofrel Outstation).

For analog input, analog output and counter point types on the Sofrel driver, information is displayed in this format:

RTU <RTU Number>:ID <Id1>.<Id2>:<Point Type> <Point Number>

For digital input and digital output points, information is displayed in this format:

RTU <RTU Number>:ID <Id1>.<Id2>:<Point Type> <Point Number> Bits <Bits>

For Report Data points (S50 Outstation only) <Point Type> shows one of the following descriptions:

• Minimum of AI <Point Number>
• Maximum of AI <Point Number>
• Mean of AI <Point Number>
• Runtime of DI <Point Number>
• Count of DI <Point Number>
• Peak for CI <Point Number>
• Off Peak for CI <Point Number>
• Heavy Load for CI <Point Number>

The Source value displays the type of Sofrel point using these abbreviations:
