IoT into the Wild Wake up the data logger when the input signal is high or low and upload the current level. If no, the data logger uploads data every uplink interval. Threshold mode For example, the upload interval is set to 60 minutes, and the threshold mode is set to collect high level. When the input signal changes from a low level to a high level, the Data Logger reports the high level. If the threshold is not triggered, the current status is uploaded every 60 minutes. 6.4.
IoT into the Wild Sensor Warm-up Time The warm-up time denotes the amount of time it takes for the sensor to attain its highest accuracy or performance level once the voltage supply has been applied. Sets the type of input pulse. Digital input Pull High: Valid when a rising edge is detected. Pull Low: Valid when a falling edge is detected. Digital Filter When the pulse width exceeds 250 μs, which advised to enable it. It is enabled by default.
IoT into the Wild Enabling this function increases upload by a value: cumulative amount per hour. Unit time collection For example, if the value of Y within one hour is 1000, 1000/h will be uploaded.
IoT into the Wild 6.5 Configure Analog Sensor via App Select the “Protocol” as “Analog input”. Then set the following parameters in turn. Periodic power: Power the sensor before data collection, and power off the sensor after data collection. This mode reduces power consumption and increases battery life. Power Type Power Voltage Always-on: Select this mode when the sensor needs constant power supply. Generally, an external 12V DC power supply is used.
IoT into the Wild Interface I1 Interface I2 The Data Logger supports two analog current signals. When the sensor wire is connected to I1/I2, the configuration can be enabled. “Y”: It is the value Datalogger will upload. “x”: It is the original current value. Y= Ax + B Factory A: Custom values that can be scaled up or down by multiples of the “x”. Factory B: A custom value that increments or diminishes the value of the “x”. By setting the values of A and B, you can calculate the desired value.
IoT into the Wild The uplink interval is the interval of LoRaWAN data is uploaded each time. In periodic mode, the uplink interval is equal to the collection interval. Range: 30~3600 seconds The threshold mode greatly increases power consumption and is not recommended. Interface I1 Threshold Value = “Y”, it is the value calculated by Y= Ax+B. You can choose one of the four rules. For example, set the uplink interval = 60 min, collection interval =30s, interface I1 rule is value≥20.
IoT into the Wild Sensor Warm-up Time The warm-up time denotes the amount of time it takes for the sensor to attain its highest accuracy or performance level once the voltage supply has been applied. Current Range 0~10V (The Data Logger can collect voltage signals within 0~10V and automatically adjust the upper limit to increase accuracy) Interface V1 Interface V2 The Data Logger supports two analog voltage signals. When the sensor wire is connected to V1/V2, the configuration can be enabled.
IoT into the Wild Value = “Y”, it is the value calculated by Y= Ax + B. You can choose one of the four rules. Interface V1 Threshold For example, set the uplink interval = 60 min, collection interval =30s, interface I1 rule is value≥20. Datalogger collects data on port I1 every 30 seconds. The collected data matches the rules. If the value is greater than 20, the data is uploaded immediately. If the threshold rule is not triggered within 60 minutes, data will be uploaded once every 60 minutes.
IoT into the Wild 6.6 Configure RS485 Modbus-RTU Sensor via App Select the “Protocol” as “RS485 Modbus RTU”. Then set the following parameters in turn. Baud rate of communication with the sensor. Baud Rate Range: 4800/9600/14400/19200/38400/57600/115200 Modbus Address Slave address of the sensor. The range is 1 to 247. Periodic power: Power the sensor before data collection, and power off the sensor after data collection. This mode reduces power consumption and increases battery life.
IoT into the Wild Startup Time The length of time the sensor can communicate from powered -on to communicating with Modbus, unit: 100 milliseconds. Measurement Number Data Logger can collect 0 to 10 measurements in RS485 mode. Periodic collect mode: Periodically collect and upload data. Work Mode Measurement Setting Threshold mode: Select a maximum of three measurements to set the threshold rule. After the rule is triggered, data is uploaded.
IoT into the Wild “x”: It is the original current value. Factory A: Custom values that can be scaled up or down by multiples of the “x”. Factory B: A custom value that increments or diminishes the value of the “x”. By setting the values of A and B, you can calculate the desired value. If only raw values are uploaded, set A=1 and B=0.
IoT into the Wild Measurement Threshold 1 Measurement: Select a measurement value that has been configured. Measurement Value = “Y”, it is the value calculated by Y= Ax+B. You can choose one of the four rules. Measurement Threshold 2 For example, set the uplink interval = 60 min, collection interval =30s, interface I1 rule is value≥20. Datalogger collects data on port I1 every 30 seconds. The collected data matches the rules. If the value is greater than 20, the data is uploaded immediately.
