Setting Custom Device Parameters
Context
The SmartLogger can connect to third-party devices supporting the Modbus RTU protocol, such as transformer stations and EMIs. The protocol information points vary depending on vendors. Therefore, you need to configure a protocol information file in .cfg format. To connect devices to the SmartLogger, the supplier or Huawei engineers need to modify the parameters in the device configuration table file delivered with the version based on device requirements, generate a protocol information file in .cfg format, and import the file to the SmartLogger.
The supported device types are Custom Device1 to Custom Device10. The corresponding configuration file names are modbus_equip_custom_1.cfg to modbus_equip_custom_10.cfg. Multiple devices of the same type can be connected.
Procedure
- Configure the protocol information point file in .cfg format and import the file to the SmartLogger.Figure 6-64 Importing configuration
- Click Add Devices and set access parameters.Figure 6-65 Setting access parameters
