FS-8700-103_ATMI_TGM_Serial Manual Page 3 of 28 1. ATMI TGM Serial Driver Description The ATMI-TGM driver allows the FieldServer to transfer data to and from devices over RS-232 using the ATMI-TGM printer port protocol. This driver connects to an ATMI TGM device using a serial connection. One device may be connected per FieldServer port. (This limitation exists because the protocol is node-less; that is, messages do not contain information about the node and thus messages fro

FS-8700-103_ATMI_TGM_Serial Manual Page 6 of 28 3.1. Hardware Connection Tips / Hints The following notes are provided from a TGM manual: The TGM code constantly checks the status of the DSR input of its serial ports connected to the DTR output of the remote serial ports. If the TGM DSR is NOT ASSERTED (FALSE), then the TGM software will suspend serial data output out of TGM Tx, and start a timeout timer (the default timeout time = 30 seconds as set in CONFIG.DAT). During this t

FS-8700-103_ATMI_TGM_Serial Manual Page 10 of 28 4.4.4. Map Descriptor Example #1 – CALR Report. To be useful to the upstream device the driver reports gas concentration values and gas names from the QLA report. In reporting the gas names it is most useful when a driver stores an index value which is used to imply the gas names. The reason this is most useful is that it is typically easier for automation devices to work with numbers and not text. When the driver reads the Calibra

FS-8700-103_ATMI_TGM_Serial Manual Page 11 of 28 4.4.5. Map Descriptor Example #2 – QLA Report. In this example, a Map Descriptor is created to read the Latest Area Report (QLA). This report contains gas concentration and status for each port and sensor. Ten Data array elements are required for each port / sensor that is reported. The poistion in the array is dependent on the port/sensor number. Appendix B provides additional information. By specifying the extra arrays (DA_Bit_Name

FS-8700-103_ATMI_TGM_Serial Manual Page 12 of 28 4.5. Map Descriptor Example #3 – QIR Report – Malfunctions In this example the Map Descriptor is configured to read the incident report. The driver parses the report looking for malfunctions and reports that show a malfunction has been cleared. Other incidents / events are ignored except for events #19 and #37 which cause all malfunctions to be cleared. The Driver updates the array setting values to 1 (malfunction) or zero when a malf

The driver looks the reported gas name up in this table. If a match is found then the driver stores the corresponding index value in the Data Array. If no match is found the the driver stores a value of –1. The table may be extended/modified using the configuration file. Refer to Appendix B.4

Malfunction Table When an event is reported in the Incident Report (QIR) then the driver compares the event description to text in the table below. If the text matches an an entry in the ‘Malfunction’ column (and is preceeded by the string MALFUNC) then the Data Array element at the specified offset is set to 1. If the text matches the ‘Return to Normal’ text then the malfunction is considered as cleared and the Data A

The driver looks the reported engineering units up in this table. If an matching entry is found then the driver stores the index value. If a matching entry cannot be found then the driver stores a value of –1. (Note that when –1 is stored in a BYTE or UINT16 formatted Data Aray it will appear as a positive num

How Gas Data is Stored • The QLA reports provides Gas Concentration values for each configured port/sensor connected to the TGM. • The driver stores the data using the “Data_Array_Name” and “Data_Array_Offset” parameters specified on the Map Descriptor. Two additional Data Array’s can be specified to tell the driver where to store the gas names and egineering units. • The position at which data is stored in the array
