MTConnect Ethernet (Gen1.3)

review the following information for setting up and configuring the mtconnect ethernet (gen1 3) driver litmus edge compatible series compatibility parameter compatible items driver type ethernet validated devices/series devices that support the mtconnect standard to set up and configure this device in litmus edge, you will need to do the following step 1 set up and configure the plc device step 2 set up the plc device in litmus edge devicehub step 3 configure the list of registers step 1 set up and configure the plc device if the device is configured for ethernet access, find its network parameters otherwise, use plc software on your computer to configure your device for ethernet access step 2 set up the plc device in litmus edge devicehub configure the following parameters when you connect a device docid\ pal6abpzbrimdu9lvgj30 with this driver update default values to the specific setup of your device parameter value type mtconnect ethernet driver mtconnect ethernet (gen1 3) network address the device address you defined during step 1 port 47808 step 3 configure the list of registers when you add a tag docid\ xgwokqbtpevii7or82ll0 to the connected device, select the name r and value type raw , and then configure the remaining parameters you can also browse for tags to add to this device see browse tags docid\ akkxnvv6edvzaz40shbwm tag parameters name select r value type select raw polling interval enter a value in seconds tag name enter a name description (optional) enter a description for the tag tag formula enter a formula for the tag to process the generated data two variables are permitted value (current tag value) and timestamp (current tag unix time in milliseconds) the following math functions are available sin cos sqrt tan power power( x ) performs the operation 10^x log log( x ) is the natural logarithm (the logarithm is in base e ) exp exp( x ) performs the operation e^x only publish on change of value select the checkbox to customize nats messages to be published only when the value parameter changes from a previous value to a new one change of value only applies to boolean, numeric (such as int or float), and simple string data types it does not apply to complex types, such as json or array poll once topics will not be affected by change of value settings these topics will still only see a single message meta data metadata summarizes basic information about data this feature allows you to define key value pair data for the device output payload later on it can then be used to find, use, and reuse particular instances of data note if you use special characters in meta data key names, the special characters are replaced with underscore characters in the payload this can cause two key names to be combined into one for example, configuring the key names a b and a&\&b will cause only one key name to be created (a b)
