Function Overview

Overview of the main software functions of the device

 

Digital inputs

The device detects status changes at the input and sends these to the RMS-WEB software.

The states can also be queried via Modbus TCP.

Discovery

With Discovery it is possible to find devices in the subnet with the RMS-Configuration software irrespective of their IP configuration and to change their settings.

IP configuration

The devices can have static or dynamic IP configurations. It is recommended that you use a dynamic IP configuration whenever possible. If fixed IPs are used, the network topology must be considered exactly.

RMS Web Server settings

Every device has the server address and software path of the RMS server software stored in it in order to build up communication with the RMS server software.

 

The two parameters can be set with the RMS-Configuration software:

oHost: Address of the server with the RMS software

oServer path: Server path where the server software is installed.

Audit Trail

The device stores events when changes are made to the configuration.

Save measured data

The measured values of every measurement are saved in the internal ring memory (75,000 measured values). If the data cannot be sent to the server software directly, they are kept in the device and then sent later as soon as the connection to the server software has been restored. Measurements are still carried out in case of PoE power failure.

Battery mode

If the external power supply fails (24 VDC / PoE), the device runs in battery mode. Measurements are still carried out at the fixed interval and the data saved in the ring memory (75,000 measured values).

Firmware update

The firmware of the device can be updated directly via the RMS server software.
