The Type & Address Category is used to set the label, type and address of a Line.

Label

This is a text label that is used when identifying the Line within the recorders displays.

Input Type

The Input Type area determines where the source of the lines input comes from.

Click "Analogue" if the line is an Analogue Input
Click "Digital" if the line is a Digital Input.
Click "Pseudo Digital" if the line is a digital input (i.e relay) connected to an analogue input.
Click "Math Input" if the line is used to display a calculation from other lines in the Recorder.
Click "Tag Input" if the line is read from a Tag Input in the Tag Data Base.
Click "Counter Input" is the line is from a counter on a 2100-XX remote station.

Input Source Summary Table

Connecting a Line To an Outstation or PLC.

The Station Type field is used to determine whether to connect the line to a outstation or PLC Address. If the MicroScan  interface is installed, a list of MicroScan outstations and Shimaden controllers will be shown. If a PLC Interface is installed, it will be included in the list.

Connect a line to Outstation Location
Connect a line to PLC Location
Connect a line to Tag

Note on Psuedo Digital Input:

This a analogue input that is being used to give a digital signal based on the value of its line.
If the lines value is above 512 a value 1, Healthy is given.
If the lines value is below 512 a value of 0, Faulty is given.

RTD Psuedo Digital

For a 2100-A16 Inputs 1-16, the RTD range 0-850 is used. This gives approx -10 when shorted and above 850 when open circuited.
The B-B terminals are shorted and the switch goes between A-BB as shown.

For a 2100-M multiplexer using on a 2100-A16, the value will be 4095 when switch open and 0 when switch shorted.
