Configuring the MeterM@il Feature to Send Data Logs

 

 

Additional ION Module Configurations

In addition to the “data push” framework, you need to configure certain setup registers in the Factory module and the Ethernet (Communications) module. If these registers are not configured, the Log Export module cannot go online.

Device Namespace (Factory module)

The value in this register is used as the namespace attribute in the Device element of XML messages generated by the Log Export module. The value range for this string value is up to 80 characters; these characters must be alphanumeric but can also include a dash (hyphen) or a dot (period). If this register is not configured, the Log Export module cannot go online.

NOTE

A namespace uniquely identifies a set of names so that there is no ambiguity when objects with different origins but the same names are mixed together. A namespace is commonly given the name of a Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) - such as a web site address - both because the namespace may be associated with the site or page of that URI (for example, a company name) and because a URI is likely to be a unique name.

Device Name (Factory module)

The value in this register is used as the name attribute in the Device element of XML messages generated by the Log Export module. The value range for this string is up to 80 characters; these characters must be alphanumeric but can also include a dash (hyphen) or a dot (period). If this register is not configured, the Log Export module cannot go online.

SMTP Server (Ethernet module)

This setup register contains the IP Address of the email server to which the meter sends outgoing email. If this register is not configured correctly, the Log Export module fails to send any emails.

The Data Recorder modules Source inputs accept numeric, numeric bounded, and boolean values.

Configuring the meter to send data logs:

1.Configure the Factory module’s Device Namespace and Device Name setup registers with appropriate values.

2.Configure the Ethernet (Communications) module’s SMTP Server setup register with the correct IP address.

3.Link the Data Recorder module’s Source inputs to the values you want to log. For example, you could use the Power Meter module’s outputs Vln a, Vln b, and Vln c as the Source inputs.

4.Link the Data Recorder module’s Record input to the Periodic Timer module’s Trigger output. (Adjust the Period setup register in the Periodic Timer module.)
