TEMPLATING FROM A MASTER BreeZ FILE
BreeZ® Software version 5.3 and higher provides improved method for
using a project file as a master template for commissioning multiple sites.
Provides the ability to disable devices that automatically disables all of
their mapped I/O points from the project file.
Not having to delete devices preserves the Modbus register structure,
providing the ability to use the same file to facilitate the deployment of
multiple sites.
Any device in the project file can now be enabled or disabled, providing a
non-destructive form of editing. Users no longer have to modify a project
file by removing devices that causes the order of the Modbus register table
to be changed.
With the ability to disable devices, Gateways simply avoid communicating
with disabled devices and disregarding all other their mapped I/O points in
a network. The ability to disable devices also helps optimize RF traffic and
makes better usage of RF bandwidth. Additionally, local I/O, Modbus, and
ROC Link Modules may be disabled causing their associated Modbus
Master requests to be ignored by the Gateway, eliminating Modbus
timeout messages and delays to subsequent data acquisition on the Serial
bus.
Once a device or devices are disabled, any points that are mapped to other
devices will simply be deactivated. Any register tag values belonging to
disabled devices in the Modbus table will show up as “0.”
When using a master template file to create a project file for a new site,
using the SAVE AS function in BreeZ to generate a new site security key for
the new site is highly recommended especially when the sites are close to
one another.
Firmware upgrade is not required on any device. Upgrading Gateway to
the latest version is recommended.
1.
In the project tree, right-click on a device to be disabled and select
“Disable Device”
2.
Once a device is disabled, all of its points and mapped points will be
deactivated from the project, and its points will be shown in light
grey text to illustrate the difference.
