EFM Emerson ROC provides a configuration section to the Ignition Gateway and this can be seen in the left side menu bar of the Ignition Gateway web UI.
Once configured, a device connection must be created and TLP definitions, templates and poll groups must be created.
The configuration options for each of the two tabs - TLP Definitions and EFM Mappings are detailed below.
The Cirrus Link default TLP Definitions and EFM Mapping files can be used as a starting point for configuring the EFM Emerson ROC module.
(Note these need to be thoroughly tested and reviewed in your application before they are put into production)
Zip file contents:
The first tab contains settings for creating sets of TLP Definitions:
New TLP Definitions can be created by following the 'Create new TLP Definition' link as shown below:

The EFM Mappings are used for publishing EFM Records representing Events, Alarms, Configuration, and History entries that are polled from a device.
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.
The Configuration Mappings tab shows all uploaded Configuration Mapping files.
A new Configuration Mapping can be added by clicking on the "Create New Configuration Mapping..." link.
