Rotronic offers an extensive range of measurement devices. Please see www.rotronic.com for more details. Some of these devices can be integrated into RMS via the RMS-CONVERTER-100.
Important: Conventional products from Rotronic are configured via the HW4 software. It is crucial to read the device manual and HW4 manual before integration of the devices into RMS. RMS will overwrite settings on the conventional products when added into RMS with the RMS-CONVERTER-100. |
If accessible, the RMS-CONVERTER-100 can provide, amongst others, the following information to RMS:
oDevice identification (product name and serial number)
oMeasurement values (read)
oRelay values (read)
oTriggering of a relay (write)
oAdjustment possibility (write)
oScaling of analog outputs (write)
oScaling of analog inputs (write)
oAccess to logged data (read)
oEtc.
Important: Rotronic recommends NOT to run HW4 and RMS in parallel (where devices are connected to both HW4 and RMS). Running both systems at the same time will result in timeouts, data gaps and other errors due to communication failure. As soon as HW4 is launched on a PC, it will automatically start the integrated search function for all devices that are on the network. |
For the initial installation and setup of a conventional product, HW4 can be required.
Rotronic recommends the following procedures:
oUse of a communication cable AC3001/3006/3009 directly from an isolated laptop with HW4 to the device.
oDeactivate the automatic search function (ADDP) with the Rotronic device via the web browser menu.
oDeactivate the devices within RMS.
RMS is designed for IoT devices as well as networks where each device has an integrated memory and power supply to bridge power and/or communication interruptions. This postulates a strict architecture in terms of communication, timing and other various points to ensure an uninterrupted monitoring.
The RMS-CONVERTER enables digital devices to be integrated into RMS, these digital devices may be stand alone, but also part of another network or system with another design. As such limitations exist in terms of device features and functions for communication stability and overall performance.
Important: Timeouts and data gaps can occur due to mismatching systems and limited compatibility! |
