7 Configuration
The configuration menu item is used to configure the NetBiter WS200 to display data and log data as well as send alarm messages. Before any data can be read from a Modbus device and be used for presenting, alarms and logs the communication interface has to be setup, see section 0 on page 15.
Backup
Every Modbus device has to be configured as a Device with a Modbus address. The device has to be assigned to a template. When a Modbus device has been configured it can be used for data presentation, alarms and logs.
Upload template
Add template
7.2 Template
A template describes what registers can be used and what type the register is. It also contains information about how presentation should be shown such as scaling, enumeration and read/write access for the user interface. There are ready to use templates for Modbus devices that can be downloaded from http://support.intellicom.se.
7.2.2 Edit
A template is structured into groups of parameter to gain simplicity when building pages, adding alarms and logs. A parameter is a Modbus register with information about presentation, type etc. Several parameters can be grouped into one group. A template can be renamed using the button rename at the same row as the current template name.

Scale the register value Offset the register value Mask a register value The register value can be shown as read only, read/write and write only. Values can be enumerated, i.e 0=off;1=on, to show values as text. Number of decimals that should be shown. Use to prevent user from writing a value outside a valid range.
Enumeration
7.3 Devices
Every Modbus slave that is connected has to be added with a unique Modbus address. Every device has to be assigned a device template. Autodetect can be used to add devices. Every Modbus address will be scanned with the current Modbus communication serial interface settings. Every Modbus device connected has to have a unique address set before starting the auto detection. The scanning will scan one Modbus address after another, which could take some time to perform. The scanning will be displayed in the progress bar. If the templates uploaded support identification for Modbus devices the correct template will be assigned. If not the devices will be added and the user has to be assigned a template manually. 26

C SNMP
If SNMP Alarms is enabled, see section 7.5.1 page 28, all alarms will be sent as SNMP traps to the host specified on the SNMP page, see section 6.6 on page 20. The OID is sent in the following format in numbers: .1.3.6.1.4.1.23312.1.1.2 [IP address][event] .1.3.6.1.4.1.23312.1.1.[trap_id][trap_data] where. 23312 is Intellicom enterprise ID 1.1 is products NetBiter webSCADA and where event: 1 = Alarm set 2 = Alarm cleared A trap id is divided into five messages with following trap data: #1 Alarm ID #2 Alarm descriptions #3 Class ID (1-10) #4 Class description #5 Alarm severity, where 0 = indeterminate 1 = critical 2 = major 3 = minor 4 = warning 5 = cleared See the pictures for example of SNMP trap sent an alarm to warning of high temperature from a NetBiter. To try out the SNMP functionality the software Trap Receiver could be used. This program can be found at http://www.trapreceiver.com. Please, check the license for the software. It could be used to examine a trap sent to a PC to better understand the SNMP functionality of the NetBiter webSCADA.
