  • Page 17 Using the ETC II Data Server The ETC II has an embedded Data server that allows the user to save time required for polling multiple devices, especially via slow serial interfaces. It utilizes the ETC II non-volatile memory for automatic data acquisition.
  • Page 18 The Data server provides continuous monitoring events asserted by the ET2002 digital inputs and gives notification to the eXpertPower server. Whenever the Data server detects a change in the status of the ETC II digital inputs, it records an event record to the Event log file. If the eXpertPower service is enabled in the ETC II, this event initiates a connection to the eXpertPower server.

  • Page 19: Etc Ii Clock

    Connections to the eXpertPower server are normally handled on a periodic basis, but can also be initiated via the ETC II event exchanges and the ETC II digital inputs DI1-DI4 to give an alert for specific events.
