  • Page 15: Data Section

    Data Scanning The update rates, deadbands etc. may be set by the client, however as some data rarely changes Endress+Hauser recommends the following guidelines: • The data sections Tank Parameters, Status Bits and Calculated Parameters all contain data items that may change regularly therefore should be on a relatively high update rate, possibly as low as every 5 seconds.
  • Page 16 Unless otherwise stated, all data items have Access Rights of READ ONLY. Many items will also have extra properties defining configuration data which only applies to that item. These generally define certain configuration data that is usually fixed or change very infrequently, such as alarm limits, units, manual values etc. Endress+Hauser...
