The McQuay Device Manager is the default view of a McQuayNetwork. Use the McQuay Device Manager to add, edit, and access McQuay device components (McQuayDevices). As with a few other device managers (say, Modbus drivers), there is no online “discovery” of devices. Instead, you manually
add new devices using the button (or by dragging McQuayDevices from the mcquay palette).
For general information, see “About the Device Manager” in the Drivers Guide. For specific details, see McQuay Device Manager.
Added McQuayDevices appear in the view’s table. By default, the following columns appear in this view:
-
Name
Name of the device-level component that represents the McQuay device, or the McQuayDeviceFolder for organizing McQuayDevices.
-
Exts
Shows an icon for the only (points) de vice extension of a McQuayDevice—double-click the icon for the McQuay Points Manager.
-
Master Node L2 address
Reflects the first “L2” part of a device’s McQuay network address, from 00 to 255 in decimal.
-
Slave Node L3 address
Reflects the second “L3” part of a device’s McQuay network address, from 00 to 255 in decimal.
In addition, using the table options control, the following additional data columns are available:
-
Path
Station path of the device or device folder component, relative to the root.
-
Type
Niagara type of component, as either a McQuay Device Folder or a McQuay Device component.
