This opens the 'New Device' configuration mage for ABB Totalflow Device:

General

• Name
  • Device name
• Description
  
  • Device description
• Enabled
  • Device enabled

Connectivity

• Hostname
  • Hostname or IP address of the device
• TCP Port
  • TCP Port of the device.
• Socket Timeout
  • TCP socket operation (i.e. connect and read) timeout in seconds. A timeout of zero is interpreted as an infinite timeout. To use system default, set to -1.
• Connection Type
  • Connection type selector. Either maintain one connection or establish new connection per each transaction. The ON_DEMAND option is recommended.
    • PERSISTENT - The ABB Totalflow driver keeps a TCP connection open and this connection is being shared by all polling threads.
    • ON DEMAND - A TCP connection is opened by each polling thread when it needs to poll and closed upon completion. Note that ABB Totalflow device still allows only one connection at a time.
• Enable auto-discovery
  • Enables ABB Totalflow driver to run application auto-discovery at startup and re-configuration.

DB2 Protocol

• Station ID
  • Station ID of this ABB Totalflow device
• Keep Alive
  • Time interval (in seconds) between 'keep-alive' polls that may be required to maintain PERSISTENT connection if ABB Totalflow device is configured to disconnect on inactivity. To disable 'keep-alive' polls, set to 0. 
• Host Timeout
  • Timeout (in milliseconds) to wait for a reply from the host. The default value is 3000 milliseconds.
• Poll EOT Timeout
  • Time (in milliseconds) to wait to ensure there are no more packets to receive. The default value is 700 milliseconds.
• Auto-Discovery EOT timeout
  • Time (in milliseconds) to wait to ensure there are no more packets to receive during auto-discovery. The default value is 2000 milliseconds. 
• Number Retries
  • Number of retries if DB2 request is NAKed.
• Supervisory Frames
  • Number of DB2 supervisory frames.
• Password
  • DB2 Protocol Security Code. If device is set with default security code of 0000, leave blank.
• Add All Array-Register Definitions
  • Automatically add all the Array-Register definitions configured within the ABB Totoalflow driver module.

RBAC

• RBAC Enabled
  • A flag indicating that Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) is enabled on the device and therefore the X_RBAC frame needs to be included in the DB2 request message.
• Operator ID
  • Operator ID.  If RBAC is not enabled on the device, leave blank.
• Password
  • Operator password. If RBAC is enabled on the device, leave blank.
