Status, Enabled, Fault Cause, Health, Alarm Source Info

These properties operate the same as for a device object in most drivers. see “Common device components” in the Drivers Guide for general information on these properties.

Unit Number

The address of target PUP device (the “ID” attribute of channel FF00).

Manufacturer

The “CM” attribute of channel FF00 in the device.

Controller Type

The “CT” attribute of channel FF00 in the device.

Serial Number

The serial number of the PUP device.

Controller Description

The common name found in the “Devices Type File” file (property of the network), using the “Manufacturer” and “Controller” as look up parameters.

Peer Type

The peer type as read from the device’s “TP” attribute in its system channel. If the “TP” attribute does not exist, the Peer Type is assumed to be “slave”.

Allow Token Passing To This Device

(Property added in builds 3.1.31, 3.2.17, 3.3.1 or later) Defaults to true. Determines whether or not the device will be added to the PupNetwork’s “Peer List” folder, to be included in any token passing.

This setting has no effect if the Peer Type is “slave”. If set to false and the device is already in the network's Peer List folder, it will be removed (and thus excluded from token passing). If set to true and the device is not a “Slave” peer type, the device will be added to the network’s Peer List folder (and thus included in token passing).

Version

The “version 8” bit from the Acknowledge response to the “Say Hello” command.

Native Alarm Source Info

Configuration data applied to alarms that originate in this PUP device and that are retrieved using the “Report Exception” message. PUP native alarms are normalized and passed to the NiagaraAX alarming subsystems which then display/manage them. Acknowledgments are in turn transmitted back down to the PUP device that originated them.

Points

The standard Points device extension (container) for all data items (attributes) in this PUP device which need to be polled for data.

Allow Time Sync

Whether to allow a “directed” (not broadcast) time sync to be transmitted to this device. If enabled by this property, a directed time sync is invoked from an action on the device (right-click the PupDevice, select ActionsSync Time). Or, if enabled by this property a time sync also occurs whenever this device’s Status property has been {down} and transitions to {ok}.
