6 1 Intrductin 1.1 WiSensys, Wireless Sensing System WiSensys : a wireless, easy t install, ready t use sensing system with data lgging capability. WiSensys is Wireless Value s prduct family fr accurately measuring, securely transmitting and lgging temperature and humidity cnditins. The wireless sensing system cnsists f sensr units and a base statin. The sensrs measure varius cnditins and transmit the measured data ver a secure wireless link t the base statin. The cverage f the system is determined by the distance between the WiSensys base statin and the sensrs. If the cverage area f 1 base statin is nt enugh, up t 2 additinal base statins can be added t increase the cverage area. All base statins can be netwrked t be able t cllect all measurement data n ne lcatin. 1.2 Sensrs Available sensrs are: WS-DLTi, digital temperature sensr WS-DLTa, analg temperature sensr (PT100, PT1000) WS-DLTc, digital humidity and temperature sensr WS-DLTh, thermcuple sensr (types J, K, S) WS-DLXa, analg sensr fr 4-20mA prcess signals WS-DLXv, analg sensr fr 0-30VDC prcess signals WS-DLXs, analg sensr fr 0-4VDC prcess signals WS-DLXac, analg sensr fr AC prcess signals WS-DLXc, digital sensr fr switch cntact signals WS-DLXcc, digital sensr fr switch cntact signals with sub-sampling (send n change) WS-DLXct, digital sensr fr switch cntact signals with sub-sampling (percentage f time pen/clsed) WS-DLC, digital CO2, humidity and temperature sensr WS-DLXt, pulse cunter WS-DLXp, pulse energy sensr WS-DLRs, energy sensr with a cntrllable relay (plug) WiSensys 1

7 WS-DLRc, energy sensr with 3 cntrllable relay (cnnectr) WS-DLXm, vltage sensr (measures in mv) The sensrs measure input values and transmit data t the base statin. Sensing is dne using a variety f sensrs. The intervals fr sensing and transmissin are set at installatin time. Values can be changed using the WiSensys PC sftware. Each sensr has a unique identity. Optinally the fllwing values can be assigned t each sensr: Friendly Name, Minimum trip value and maximum trip value. Trip values are used t signal an alarm cnditin t the base statin when these values are exceeded. Additinally, different types f sensrs have additinal ptins which can be set using SensrGraph f WebSensys. 1.3 Base statin WS-BU is the base statin that receives the data frm all WiSensys sensrs. The received data is either stred in the base statins ptinal nn-vlatile memry r is frwarded t a cnnected PC r PLC system. WS-BU is als used when installing and changing the WiSensys netwrk. The base statin receives settings fr the sensrs frm the WiSensys PC sftware and frwards these settings t all sensrs in the netwrk. The base statin is available in several versins with different cmmunicatin capabilities. Tday these include: WS-BU-rs232 with RS232 cmmunicatin t the WiSensys PC sftware. WS-BU-rs485 with MODBUS prtcl ver RS485/RS422, SD card fr data strage and switched alarm utput. WS-BU-ethernet with Ethernet cnnectin t internet database r SensrGraph, SD card data strage and switched alarm utput. WS-BU-gprs with GPRS cnnectin t internet database. 1.4 Range Extender The WS-REX is a range extender that can be used t extend the range f a WiSensys system. The range extender can receive sensr data and relay it t the base statin, thus extending the range between sensrs and a base statin. A single WiSensys system can cntain multiple range extenders. A range extender can either be cnfigured t relay sensr data t the base statin directly r t anther range extender. WiSensys 2

44 3 Using the System After yu installed and cnfigured the base statin and the sensrs, yur WiSensys system is ready fr use. This chapter describes hw yu can use the SensrGraph PC sftware in rder t use the system. SensrGraph is rganized in several tabs. In this chapter, each tab is described. Belw each tab, a small status screen is displayed. Here status infrmatin f activity nging in SensrGraph may be displayed. The infrmatin is nly displayed as lng as it is useful t the user and the screen may be empty. 3.1 Graph The applicatin starts in the tab called Graph. Fr accurate viewing, the Graph tab shws small thumbnails fr each type f sensr (temperature, humidity, current etc). The measurement values are added t the graph autmatically and updated every 30 secnds. See figure 39. Figure 39: Graph tab with different sensr types and graphs Yu can zm each graph by clicking the zm buttn ( ) in the tp-right crner f each graph (see Figure 40). When zmed in, the axis labels are als shwn. Zmed-in graphs are updated every 5 secnds. WiSensys 39

45 Figure 40: Zmed in temperature graph in the Graph tab When zmed in, yu can click the buttn again t zm ut. Each graph shws infrmatin abut the cnfiguratin f the graph in the tp left crner. When ne r mre sensrs in the graph has a triggered alarm, the infrmatin string becmes red and the name f the sensr is shwn in the infrmatin string (see Figure 41). Figure 41: Infrmatin string in the tp left f a graph When ne r mre sensrs visible in the graph g ut f range, the infrmatin string becmes gray and the name f the sensr is shwn in the infrmatin string. Yu can autmatically zm and brwse thrugh all available graph by clicking the and buttn. T refresh all r the zmed in graph immediately withut waiting fr the applicatin t refresh, yu can press the buttn. Yu can clear all data frm the graphs by pressing the buttn. When pressing the clear buttn, the data is nly cleared frm the graphs. WiSensys 40

46 3.1.1 Graphs infrmatin The value axis displays the main functin f the sensr n the left side. The time axis indicates the time f values. Available sensrs can be fund in the legend belw the graph. These items are nly visible when the shwing detailed graphs by zming in. The maximum time perid that the time axis displays is cntrlled by the graph prperties, which can be accessed by right clicking the graph and then clicking n Prperties. Figure 42: Graph prperties dialg, shwing a cnfigured range, target and histry length The perid displayed n the graph can be set by chsing a histry length. Setting a lng histry length is nt recmmended because it can cause the PC t respnd slwly n lder hardware. WiSensys 41

47 By default, the range f the value axis will be adjusted autmatically accrding t the measurement values. Yu can set the minimum and maximum value under Range t set a custm range. T shw a visible target in the graph, yu can set the minimum and maximum Target values. Yu can als set the histry length f all graphs simultaneusly by chsing a histry length in the Graph panel (see Figure 43). Figure 43: Setting histry length fr all graphs Zm-in, zm-ut inside the graph Yu can zm in t view sensr values in mre detail by drawing a square with yur muse arund the values in the graph area. Make sure yu mve the muse t the right. See the screensht belw. Figure 44: Zming in n the graphs Zming ut is perfrmed by hlding the left muse buttn and mving the muse pinter t the left in the graph area Saving and printing a Graph A displayed graph can be saved r printed by a right muse-click. Select Save as t save the graph as a PNG file. Select Print... t send the image t a printer (see figure 45). The text f this menu is depending n Windws Reginal settings. WiSensys 42

Yu can change the cntents f the anntatin by duble-clicking the text in the last clumn and type a new value. Again, press Save t apply the changes. 3.2 Summary Yu can use the Summary screen t cllect yu mst imprtant sensrs frm yu WiSensys system and shw them individually in a graph. The screen lks similar t the Graph screen, but shws each sensrs in its wn graph. In additin, each data channel is separated and placed in its wn smaller graph inside the main graph blck. By default, n sensrs will be visible in the summary and yu shuld add a sensr frm the Sensrs screen by right clicking a sensr yu want t add and chse Add t summary panel (see 3.3). After yu have added sme sensrs, the screen shuld lk similar t the image belw. WiSensys 44

Lwest sample timestamp The timestamp f the lwest measurement. Highest sample The value f the highest measurement. Highest sample timestamp The timestamp f the highest measurement. Infrmatin (hidden by default) Detailed infrmatin abut the sensr. This can be useful fr technicians t mnitr the sensrs. A right muse-click anywhere in the table gives the pssibility t set all sensrs t visible r invisible. The measurements under Last sample, Lwest sample and Highest sample, their crrespnding timestamp clumns and the Infrmatin clumn are cleared when the buttn Clear is pressed. Yu can als hide clumns, which yu d nt want t see by clicking the table prperties buttn in the tp right crner f the table. Figure 51: The table prperties buttn 3.4 Lgger The Lgger tab cntains the functinality t retrieve previusly stred data frm the database and exprt it t anther file frmats r graphs, similarly as n the Graph tab. The lgger in SensrGraph is always active and saves every received value t the database. WiSensys 47

This can result in data crruptin. Access the database nly in read-nly mde when using third party tls Durability f data SensrGraph stres all the measured value in a database. The database engine that is used fr strage by default is Apache Derby. This is a very mature, durable and high perfrmance database engine. T prevent lsing data it is recmmended t create regular backups f the database. This can be dne by cpying the database file t a save lcatin when SensrGraph is nt running. It is recmmended t disable write caching fr the hard disk that cntains the database files. This prevents lsing data in case f pwer r hardware failures. Disabling the write cache is dne in the Device manager. G t the device manager and find the disk the database is stred n, the g t the Prperties f that disk: WiSensys 48

Yu shuld use these files mainly by feeding them t ther tls, specifically designed t handle large cmma separated files. Select the date and time frm which yu want t start searching fr data and the date and time data t end the search. Yu can change the starten end time and the interval values faster by pressing the Open date picker buttn. Yu can als change the reslutin f the graph by changing the Step size. The default step size is 15 minutes; this means that a data pint will be drawn every 15 minutes. If yu want t see energy usage per hur fr example, yu shuld chse an interval f 1 hur. In the General ptins, yu can chse what data shuld be displayed in the lg. By enabling Alarm anntatins, little circles are displayed in the graphs t indicate an alarm at that pint in time. By enabling User anntatins, user anntatins will be displayed in the graphs als. By enabling Shw differences, every pint in the graphs will be anntated with a readable difference between the pint and the previus pint. Figure 56: Lgger ptins WiSensys 51

The data n the memry can be used as backup fr when SensrGraph is nt running. The SD card can either be in the base statin cnnected t the PC, in a dedicated SD card reader, r files n any ther media like a hard disk. WiSensys 52

58 Figure 58: Select a surce fr synchrnizatin When the SD card is inside the base statin, transfer f data between the SD card and SensrGraph is dne at a rate f maximum 20 sensr transmissins per secnd. Estimated transfer duratin f 1 day f stred data can be calculated as fllws: 20 sensrs, sensrs sample every 200 secnds: ~7 minutes 20 sensrs, sensrs sample every 60 secnds: ~24 minutes This duratin can be decreased by increasing the Samples befre transmissin value fr the sensrs (see ). The sensr cllects a number f samples and sends them in ne transmissin t the base statin. The verhead in lgging files is less and transfer duratin can be reduced by 70%. When the SD card is inside the base statin, data can be remved frm the SD card using the Clear SD menu item that can be fund in the Cnfiguratin tab when selecting the I/O bard in the system verview. The maximum number f days f stred data n the SD card is 512. In additin, a file list can be accessed by pressing the List files buttn. There, the files can be remved individually. WiSensys 53

Tw types f alarms are implemented in the WiSensys system: Built-in alarms generated by the sensrs, which can als trigger the alarm relay n certain types f base statins. Only a limited number f this type f alarms per sensr is pssible. User-defined alarms generated by SensrGraph, which d nt trigger the alarm relay n certain types f base statins. An unlimited number f this type f alarms can be created fr each sensr. Each alarm is identified by a name and is triggered when the received measurement value is belw, abve r equal t a cnfigured trigger value. When an alarm cnditin is met, an actin can be generated. This actin can be any r a cmbinatin f the fllwing: send an . send an SMS t a mbile phne. shw a ppup windw. shw an anntatin in the graphs. WiSensys 54

Press the Save buttn t apply the new value r Cancel t relad the current values Remving a range extender T remve a range extender frm the system, right click the range extender in the left pane and select Remve frm the cntext menu. If yu remve a range extender frm the system, the range extender will still try t cmmunicate with its gateway, but the gateway will n lnger respnd t it. This will cause the just remved range extender t n lnger receive sensr data messages, s all sensrs cnnected t the range extender will try t find a new range extender/base statin t cmmunicate t. If ther range extenders are using the just remved range extender t cmmunicate t the base statin, they will n lnger be able t cmmunicate t the base statin and there fr n lnger receive sensr messages. There fr it is very imprtant t be extremely careful when remving a range extender Sensrs level With the menu item Add new sensr r the buttn in the right panel, a new sensr can be added t the base statin.

Access the Settings dialg in the main menu under Edit. Figure 78: Accessing the settings General In the General tab, yu can adjust general settings fr SensrGraph. Figure 79: General settings Start up The settings in the Startup sectin cntrl hw SensrGraph behaves n startup. WiSensys 71

77 By selecting the Start minimized, SensrGraph will start minimized. SensrGraph will remember windw psitin and lcatin when started the next time. This is als valid fr the SensrGraph is maximized. Enabling the Lgin autmatically ptin will tell the sftware t try t lgin as Administratr t base statins n discvery when starting up. This is enabled by default. Disable the ptin if yu are using multiple SensrGraph installatins at different lcatins. T aut-detect base statin n start, yu can enable the Attempt t aut-detect base statins setting. SensrGraph will search all serial prts fr WiSensys devices and add them autmatically. Enabling aut-detectin f base statins can be risky when ther devices are cnnected t the PC n a serial prt. If this is the case, the devices can behave unexpectedly when SensrGraph is plling fr WiSensys devices. It is recmmended nt t enable this ptin in that case. By enabling Attempt t autmatically synchrnize SD card, the system will try t synchrnize the last 7 days frm the SD card s yu will nt have t d it manually when SensrGraph was nt running fr a maximum f seven days Other settings Here yu can adjust ther settings that d nt fit int ther categries. Disable the Keep relay settings fr energy sensrs up t date when using rules in WebSensys and yu want t run SensrGraph at the same time. This prevents SensrGraph frm sending cnflicting cmmands t the sensrs. Currently, this has nly effect n energy sensrs equipped with ne r mre relays Lgging In the Lgging tab, yu can cnfigure where SensrGraph shuld stre the measurement data and hw t cnnect t the database. WiSensys 72

78 Figure 80: Data lgging settings Lg directry specifies the full path t the database. Yu always have t specify the lcal path t the database, even if yu are cnnecting t a remte machine. In that case, specify the full path n the remte machine. Hst name r IP specifies the hstname t a remte server if yu use ne. This can als be the IP address r hstname t a PC where anther SensrGraph is running. By chsing the Cnnectin mde, yu can specify hw SensrGraph shuld cnnect t the database. By chsing the ptin Try lcal directry first, then try remte server, SensrGraph will first try t cnnect n the lcal directry but if the database is already in use by anther instance f SensrGraph, it will try t cnnect t the remte server. If yu nly want t cnnect t a remve server, yu need t select the Only try remte server ptin. Yu can als use an external database. PstgreSQL is supprted by default. It is nt recmmended t change the Database type when using built-in database. The default ptin is t use Apache Derby as database. This is a widely used and reliable database. If yu wish, yu can als select a different type f database engine when yu applicatin wuld wrk better with, but this is at yur wn risk Lgging frm multiple SensrGraph instances We recmmend that each installed SensrGraph instance is cnfigured with its wn database. This will prevent database incnsistencies. Hwever, it is pssible t lad sensr measurement frm ne database int multiple SensrGraph instances running n different PC s. T prevent duble data being inserted int the database, yu can cnfigure ne SensrGraph installatin t cmmunicate with the base statin(s), while the ther SensrGraph installatins d nt have any base statins cnfigured. When yu WiSensys 73

79 cnfigure the same database fr all the SensrGraph installatin, yu will still be able t read lgged data frm all SensrGraph, while nly the SensrGraph with a cnfigured base statin will lg the data. When using a WS-BSU-Ethernet-01, yu can cnnect up t fur (ne serial and three TCP/IP cnnectins) SensrGraph instances t ne base statin. T prevent duble data, it is recmmend that yu let nly ne instance f SensrGraph lg t a database and start the ther instances f SensrGraph in read-nly mde. Yu can find an icn fr read-nly mde in SensrGraph start menu flder. If yu want t use database and let multiple instances f SensrGraph installatins write t it, yu have t cnsider that it can be pssible that the same measurement values can be saved in the database multiple times. Make sure the clcks f the PC s running all the SensrGraph are set t the same time and time zne Alarms Here yu can chse in which way yu want t be infrmed f general alarms: pp-up message, r SMS. The and SMS are sent t the address specified. Figure 81: The alarms tab The general alarm currently defined is when SensrGraph cannt cmmunicate with a cnnected base statin r a sensr anymre. Infrmatin entered here will als be used as default settings fr new alarms. With this, yu can avid having t enter the same address r mbile number fr every new alarm defined. The address and mbile number entered are als used in the test settings fr and SMS (see and 3.8.5). If yu press Save at the bttm f the page, the values entered here are used as destinatins fr test and SMS. Yu can temprarily disable all alarms by disabling the All alarms enabled ptin frm the main menu. WiSensys 74

Figure 84: The SMS tab Yu can test yu settings by prviding a telephne number in the Test phne number field and clicking the Send test SMS buttn. It is nt recmmended t use a mdem cnnected using a USB t RS232 cnverter. In sme cases, this can freeze the system cmpletely and a full hard reset f the PC will be required. The recmmended way t cnnect the mdem is by using a real serial prt r the real USB interface f the mdem. 3.9 Reprts SensrGraph can autmatically generate reprts. Reprts can be created and managed by selecting Reprt manager in the under Tls frm the main menu. Figure 85: Reprt manager dialg T create a new autmatic reprt, press the New buttn. T remve a reprt, select it frm the list and press the Remve buttn. Yu can generate each reprt at any time by selecting it frm the list in the reprt manager and pressing the Generate buttn.

93 Appendix F Frequently asked questins (and answers) F.1 When starting SensrGraph a COM-prt errr appears. If yu are using a USB-t-rs232 cable, it is pssible the COM-prt will change after yu reinstall the cable int a different USB prt. Chse the crrect COM-prt fr the base statin in the Cnfiguratin tab by right clicking the base statin and then clicking Set cnnectin F.2 Hw t cnfigure a base statin fr use with WebSensys? F.2.1 Cnfigure WebSensys t accept the new base statin Yu will need t add the serial number f the base statin t the WebSensys database. Yu can d that in the Administratr tab in WebSensys. Refer t the WebSensys user manual if yu want mre infrmatin. Yu can find the serial number n the sticker n the back f the base statin. Figure 87: Sticker n the back f the base statin F.2.2 Glbal cnfiguratin Attach the base statin t a serial prt n the PC and start SensrGraph. Fllw the initial cnfiguratin if necessary. G t Cnfiguratin and select the I/O bard f the base statin yu want t cnfigure. Yu need t knw the Internet address (either an IP address r a hstname) n which yur WebSensys server is accessible frm the Internet r the lcal netwrk. Please cntact yur netwrk administratr if yu d nt knw this. This is needed fr the next cnfiguratin step. WiSensys 88
