Ferguson Beauregard Net EIE

Although Ferguson Beauregard Auto-Cycle Plus and SFC are not Modbus devices, the EIE contains a data group ("FCU Modbus Setup") that allows basic process variables to be passed through to another flow control device. This operation requires that you select a device type and Modbus address, define the data and registers, and set up Modbus communication options. This information is read only and must be configured on the device during device installation.

Another feature of this EIE is its support for gas flow data and calculations using the "Gas Measurement Config" data group. The Auto-Cycle Plus device is not intrinsically configured to provide gas flow data, so CygNet developed a data group that extracts the required data and performs gas flow calculations with it.

eieType eieType identifies the CygNet EIE type associated with a template (in the deviceDefinition element); it links a device driver with a template. It typically refers to the name of the protocol according to which an EIE conforms. A value includes a CygNet-defined string, up to 20 characters, alphabetical characters only, and no spaces. The default value is supplied in the template and is not typically changed.	FbNet
Cryout Support	No
FMS Support	No for SFC Yes, for all models except SFC, using FMS Legacy EFM data items. Note: In cases where only GMR support was previously available, CygNet Measurement now provides equivalent data support using FMS Legacy data items. If you were previously using GMR data items, you must update to use FMS Legacy data items, effective with the CygNet v8.5.0 release. Update options are provided as part of your corresponding software upgrade procedure.
Listen Mode	No
64-bit Support	Yes. See 64-bit Device Drivers.
