HwgMonitor
The HWGMONITOR I/O Server supports the following monitoring devices from HW group:
- Damocles
- Poseidon
- STE
- WLD.
Contents
HSYCO Configuration
Add an HWGMONITOR I/O Server in the I/O Servers section of the Settings and set its parameters:
Communication
- IP Address: host name or IP address of the device
- IP Port: TCP/IP port to use, leave blank to use default port 80.
High Availability
- Shutdown when inactive: defaults to true (these devices accept multiple connection and could be accessed by two HSYCO servers simultaneously).
Options
ID | Default | Values | Description |
---|---|---|---|
pollinterval | 1000 | n ≥ 0 | the data polling interval, in milliseconds |
Monitoring Devices Configuration
This I/O Server uses the XML format and HTTP requests to constantly poll the devices for the current status.
All HWg monitoring devices allow you to assign custom names to each sensor connected to a device. The name is important, as it is used by HSYCO as the id to retrieve the sensor’s data. You should configure these names, using the configuration interface of the device.
Refer to the device manual for detailed configuration information.
Datapoints
The I/O Server generates asynchronous events based on the status of the devices input pins. The output data points can be written to control the output pins.
ID | Value | R/W | Description |
---|---|---|---|
model | <model_id> | R | the device model, as returned in the <model> tag of the XML response |
<sensor_name> | <value> | R | the value returned for input <sensor_name>, as returned in the <value> tag of the XML response |
<sensor_name>.cnt | <value> | R | the counter value returned for input <sensor_name>, as returned in the <cnt> tag of the XML response (for Damocles devices) |
<sensor_name>.units | <units> | R | the units string returned for input <sensor_name>, as returned in the <units> tag of the XML response |
read | all | W | forces the driver to poll the device to read the current status. This command could be used to occasionally refresh the status at a faster rate that the preset poll interval |
<output_id> | 0 | W | set output <output_id> to off |
1 | W | set output <output_id> to on |
