Configure a Device Group

A device group allows you to send data to a number of devices using a single group name. The following example shows the property settings for a group called "AlarmInfo".

Group Property

Value

Group Name

AlarmInfo

Association 1

AlarmPrint

Association 2

AlarmLog

Association 3

AlarmDBF

In this case, when the group name "AlarmInfo" is used, the information will be sent to three devices - "AlarmPrint", "AlarmLog", and "AlarmDBF".

To configure a device group:

  1. In the Security activity, select Groups.
  2. Add a row to the Grid Editor.
  3. Configure the fields as required. For a description of the fields, see Add a Group.
  4. Click Save.

Note: You can read from a devices group, however, data is only read from the first device in the group.
