ModuleParameterDefinition
EFM Emerson ROC SettingsTLP Definitions (Global)

The global TLP definitions made available to the EFM Emerson ROC module.  They are uploaded to the Ignition instance in the form of specifically formatted CSV files.  These TLP definitions can be reference by the configurations of the individual ROC devices that they apply to. A single Ignition Gateway may contain multiple global TLP definitions files that are used to configure different device types where the actual point types & parameters of the individual TLPs may differ across the different files and device types.

EFM Emerson ROC SettingsEFM Configuration Mappings

The configuration mapping files are used for building up EFM Configuration Records. They define which TLPs map to which fields (columns) in an EFM Configuration Record.  Additionally they can provide bit and/or value mappings for the TLP values. They are uploaded to the Ignition instance in the form of specifically formatted CSV files. 

EFM Emerson ROC SettingsEFM Periodic MappingsThe periodic mapping files are used for building up EFM Periodic History Records.  They define which TLPs map to which fields (columns) in an EFM Periodic History Record, the logical type of the point type table (meter, station, or input), and an archive type of the value. They are uploaded to the Ignition instance in the form of specifically formatted CSV files. 
OPC UA Device ConnectionTLP Definitions

These are a subset of the global TLP definition files that apply to a specific device.

OPC UA Device ConnectionTLP Templates

TLP templates are logical groupings of TLPs.  Generally TLP templates would be created so that instances of them can be used by specifying a poll group with a logical number (the 'L' parameter in a TLP).

OPC UA Device ConnectionTLP Poll Groups

Poll groups use TLP templates in conjunction with a logical number to create a specific set of TLPs to be polled at a specified poll rate.

...

  1. From EFM Emerson ROC Settings, define/upload the global TLP definitions available for all ROC devices in this Ignition instance
  2. From EFM Emerson ROC Settings, define/upload the EFM Mappings for all ROC devices in this Ignition Instance
  3. From OPC UA Device Connections, create the device connection to the ROC
  4. For this Device device Connection, specify the subset of TLP definitions that this specific ROC uses
  5. For this device connection, create TLP Template(s) which define groups of TLPs should be polled as a logical group
  6. For this device connection, create TLP Poll Group(s) which specify the logical parameters associated with a given TLP Template
