10 10: Events Reporting Configuration Introduction Events Reporting allows you to generate reports or perform actions in response to the events that are configured in the ALEOS software. An Event is a measurement of a physical property AND a state change or a threshold crossing. For example, radio module signal strength (RSSI) is a physical property. A threshold crossing could be set to -105 dBm. You can configure an Event which consists of the RSSI with the -105 dBm threshold.
ALEOS 4.3.4 Software Configuration User Guide 2. After deployment, the device begins measuring a physical input. 3. The measurement is compared to the user-configured threshold or state change. If there is no change, then another measurement is performed. If a state change (or threshold crossing) occurs, then the flow moves to step 4. 4. The Action associated with the Event. In this step, a report may be generated, or some other activity is performed. Afterwards, the flow returns to step 1.

B B: Modbus/BSAP Configuration The AirLink device supports Modbus ASCII, Modbus RTU, and BSAP, and can also emulate other protocols (like DF1) using the Modbus Variable feature. Modbus Overview The Modbus Protocol provides for client-server (i.e., master-slave) communications between intelligent devices. As a de facto standard, it is the most widely used network protocol in the industrial manufacturing environment to transfer discrete/analog I/O and register data between control devices.
ALEOS 4.3.4 Software Configuration User Guide Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) describes solutions across a large variety of industries and is used in industrial and engineering applications to monitor and control distributed systems from a master location. SCADA encompasses multiple RTUs, a central control room with a host computer (or network), and some sort of communication infrastructure.
Configuring the AirLink Device at the Polling Host for Modbus on UDP This section covers a Polling Host with standard Modbus, variations may need additional AT commands. 1. Configure the ports. The destination port for the device at the host needs to match the device port (*DPORT) in use on all the modems at the remote sites. For example, if the remote device’s device port (*DPORT) is “12345”, then the Modbus host device's S53 destination port should be set to “12345”.
ALEOS 4.3.4 Software Configuration User Guide Configuring the Remote AirLink Devices for Modbus with UDP This section covers standard Modbus settings for the AirLink device at the remote unit; variations may need additional commands. 1. Configure the ports In ACEmanager, select Port Configuration in the side menu. The destination port for the device at the host needs to match the device port in use on all the devices at the remote sites.
When you configure Dynamic DNS for the host device, note your device name and domain setting in ACEmanager in the menu selection Dynamic IP to be used with the remote devices. When you use names instead of IP addresses, to ensure your devices are updated quickly with the correct IP addresses for the names, set the DNS settings as well. Configure *DNSUSER to the same IP address as the Dynamic DNS (*IPMANAGER1).
