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