CAUTION

UNINTENDED EQUIPMENT OPERATION

For the user who use System Monitor, do not to use Node-Red at the same time to avoid any application conflicts. Schneider-Electric do have special customized node to support hardware.

Remove System Monitor and use recovery key to recover to IIoT Node-Red  OS.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in injury or equipment damage.

Sample code:

oThe inputs must be msg.payload.UPSInputLostDelay and msg.payload.UPSCutOffDelay which are numeric.

omsg.payload.UPSInputLostDelay is a number which is the DC Input Lost detection duration(sec).

omsg.payload.UPSCutOffDelay is a number which is the DC-OUT cut-off delay time(minutes).

oAnother input msg.payload.port is COM port name which is used to connect with UPS.

At first, COM port path setting is required to make analog input module connect to host. The other functions cannot be used before finishing analog input module connection step.

Set a COM port item in an analog input info node.

(COMx: X = number, for example, COM7, COM number depends on the host.)

NOTE: It can also be set by Input {"comport": "COMx"} to analog input info. node.

(COMx: x=number, for example, COM7, COM number depends on the host.)

For example, if you want to set COM7, set msg.payload to {"comport": "COM7"} and send this message to this node.

4

Select an item which you want to do in analog input info. node from Topic list.

5

In analog input info node, select Get AI value from Topic list and set Channel Index field.

NOTE: f you want to target all the channels, you can set -1 in Channel Index field.

NOTE: It can also be set by Input {"attribute name": true} in msg.payload to analog input info. node.

For example, if you want to get analog input value, set msg.payload to {"Get AI value": true, "chIdx": -1} and send this message to analog input info. node.

If you want to target all the channels, you can set "chIdx": -1.

If you want to target channel 2, you can set "chIdx": 2.

6

If you do not need analog input module, you can set input {"comport": "None"} to disconnect the communication between host and analog input module. Disconnected step will finish after node status changes from connected to disconnected.
