and on the supplied CD.

HW group

2) The main web page displays the product overview:

3) Detailed configuration is accessible via the Flash Setup link. See the next sections for details. www.HW-group.com 2 / 105


Connecting the sensors

HW group

1-Wire / 1-Wire UNI (RJ11)



Connect the sensor before powering up the Poseidon – the

connector must click in.



Maximum total distance on each active port is 60m.



Sensors can be daisy-chained.



Sensors can be also connected using a star topology with the T-

Box (TBox2) hub.



If you change the sensor topology, the sensors must be auto-detected again. (Web interface > Flash Setup > Sensor Setup > Autodetect Sensors) www.HW-group.com 3 / 105


Industrial Bus sensors (RS-485)

HW group

Industrial bus for connecting sensors over long distances

 Connect the sensors before powering up the unit.





Sensors can be daisy-chained, or connected to a virtual star using the “S-Hub” unit.

Terminate the RS485 line with a 120 Ω to 470 Ω terminator. Some sensors contain a built-in terminator, controlled with a jumper or a DIP switch. See the sensor manual.

 Check or set the sensor address. Each sensor on the RS-485 bus must have a unique

address. The address (ID) is expressed as a letter (A..Z / a..z) or a number (65..122). The numbers correspond to the ASCII codes of the letters, A=65, Z=90, a=97, z=122.

For details about address configuration, see the sensor manual.

 If you change installed sensors, the sensors must be auto-detected again.

(Web interface > Flash Setup > Sensor Setup > Autodetect Sensors)

Sensors are shipped with non-conflicting addresses whenever possible. The preconfigured address is always written on the label.

Note: A particular sensor is identified by its RS-485 address. Sensors with the same address can be swapped without the need for a new detection. www.HW-group.com 4 / 105


Common features of the Poseidon product line

HW group

Displayed readings

 The Poseidon unit displays current readings from all connected sensors.

 Dry contact inputs are scanned approximately every 200ms.

 Values from all sensors on both buses (RS-485 and 1W bus) are read in a single loop that repeats once per second; however, the actual time needed to read the sensors may vary from 1 to 30 seconds.

All values are in the “integer/10” format, range is ±999.9. 

 A value of 999.9 is out of range for all supported sensors and indicates that the sensor was not found.

 If you have disconnected or replaced a sensor, run sensor autodetection, or remove the sensor from the list.

 When the Poseidon unit is overloaded with network requests (as is sometimes the case, for example, with our public online demo), -999.9 can sometimes appear even though the sensor works properly. This is due to limited computing performance of the unit. Try to reduce the number of concurrent network requests.

 Units are assigned to values automatically according to the detected sensor type. Supported units include:

 Temperature: °C, °K, °F

(please note that Safe Range thresholds can be set in °C only)

 Humidity: %RH

 Voltage: V, current: A or mA

 Other units: %, ...

Input / sensor in alarm state





Alarm state can be set independently for every input (contact) / sensor.

For a sensor, “Alarm” occurs whenever the reading is outside of the specified Safe Range, as long as alarm alerting is enabled for at least one notification method (SNMP / Email &

SMS).

 Response to a sensor being disconnected

 -999.9 is displayed

 The value evaluates as an “Alarm” (reading out of the specified Safe Range). If alarm alerting is enabled for the given sensor, e-mail or SNMP trap is sent.

TIP

• For more information about data formats, identification of variables, and the

SDK, see the detailed Poseidon family manual. www.HW-group.com 5 / 105


Calibration



HW group

Each sensor can be calibrated by specifying a linear offset. The calibration value can be written over XML. To set the calibration, use the Calibrator utility (download section on

the Poseidon 2250 page) or EX104 in the HWg-SDK (a menu invoked by a right-click).





Calibration value = +3

→ sensor measures 0.5°C → Poseidon shows +3.5°C

 Calibration value = -3

→ sensor measures 0.5°C → Poseidon shows -2.5°C

Calibration value = -10 → sensor measures 27% RH → Poseidon shows 17% RH www.HW-group.com 6 / 105


Sensor hysteresis

HW group

The Hysteresis setting defines a tolerance band for alarm alerts. This feature prevents multiple alarm alerts if the reading oscillates around the specified threshold. See the graph for an explanation.

Without a hysteresis of 5°C, the alarm raised at point 8 would end at point 9. With the hysteresis function, the alarm continues until the temperature rises above the tolerance band (point 10), that is,

5°C + (-15°C) = -10°C.

 Hysteresis = 5°C: The unit sends 3 e-mails (SMS)

Alarm at points 0..4, 8..10, 12 and beyond

 No hysteresis (0°C):

The unit sends 8 e-mails (SMS)

Alarm at points 0..1, 2..3, 8..9, 12..13, 14 and beyond www.HW-group.com 7 / 105

Supported interfaces

HW group

Individual Poseidon models support several hardware interfaces for connecting the sensors. A brief description follows. For more details, see the technical specifications of the interfaces.

 Binary inputs (Dry Contact inputs)

Digital inputs for connecting two-state sensors. Dry Contact means a direct connection of a volt-free contact. The input signals one of two states – “On”/“Off” (or “Open”/“Closed”), which can be further interpreted by Poseidon as “Normal”/“Alarm”.

 Outputs and relays

Poseidon supports digital outputs. These can either be controlled over the WWW interface

(or SNMP, Modbus/TCP, XML), or used to indicate an alarm.

There are two types of outputs:

- Double-throw relay contact (Poseidon 3268)

- Voltage output to control an external relay (Poseidon 2250)

 Sensors can be connected over two bus types:

 1-Wire bus

Digital RJ11 bus, designed to connect several sensors over short wiring. The bus carries power and a single data wire. The bus is not suitable for environments with EMC interference.

Sensors have factory-assigned unique addresses which are detected automatically as the sensor IDs.

 Industrial bus (RS-485 supports up to 31 sensors, up to 1000m)

For convenience and ease of use, TP cables and RJ45 modular jacks are used to wire the RS485 industrial bus.

The RS-485 bus uses the blue pair of wires (pins 4 and 5), labeled A and B. The brown pair (pins 7, 8) carries 12V to power the sensors.

If you use the S-Hub unit and the B-Cable module, the green pair of wires (pins 3, 6) is used for the return RS-485 connection. This wire pair is not connected at the Poseidon 2250 unit.

Sensor addresses are set by the configuration protocol or by jumpers, and are detected as sensor IDs ranging from 48 to 127. www.HW-group.com 10 / 105


Detailed interface description

HW group

Power connector

The usual DC plug – 2,5mm coaxial barrel connector – is used to connect the power. Negative terminal is connected to the outer body of the plug.

Ethernet

Ethernet network connects via the standard RJ45 jack next to the power connector. Use a Twisted Pair (TP) patch cable to connect to a switch, or a cross-over cable to connect directly to a PC.

The device has a 10 Mbps Ethernet interface => it only works in 10 Mbps or 10/100 Mbps networks.

Note: The device cannot be directly connected to a 100 Mbps-only network. If you need to

connect it to a 100 Mbps (or faster) network, use a 10/100 Mbps Ethernet switch.

MAC address

MAC address is a unique number identifying the device. It is printed on the label at the bottom side of the unit. It consists of six hexadecimal number pairs, the first three pairs are always 00:0A:59.

With the MAC address, you can distinguish individual devices in the UDP setup utility when assigning

IP addresses.

Configuration with DIP switches

DIP switches control the following functions.

If you change the settings, it is recommended to reset the device by disconnecting and reconnecting the power.

Factory default configuration is:

DIP1=Off, DIP2=Off, DIP3=Off, DIP4=Off.

Setup mode is activated and the red MODE LED blinks. The Ethernet is disabled in this mode!

To restore factory default settings: Toggle the DIP switch at least 3 times within 5 seconds after powering up the device.

SECURITY (DIP3 / DIP2)

When set to ON, the HW-Security protection mode is active. Any configuration changes are ignored in this mode:

 No settings can be changed with UDP Setup (using UDP Config or Hercules utilities).

 Flash Setup still opens in the browser but no settings can be changed.

 Outputs can be changed by M2M control

 TCP Setup (at port 99 by default) is not available.

 No parameters can be changed over SNMP.

RJ11 – 1-Wire or 1W sensors

HW group

The digital bus from Dallas Semiconductor company, each sensor has unique ID.

We recommend to keep the total wiring length under 60m, although functionality has been achieved over tens to hundreds of meters in experimental settings.

If the wiring connected to a single connector of the Poseidon unit is longer than approximately 80m, we cannot guarantee error-free

operation, as it greatly depends on the actual wiring implementation, topology and environment.

Active / Passive 1W port

Active port is RJ11 connector on the Poseidon device. It guarantees full length of wiring and power for defined quantity of 1-Wire or 1-Wire UNI sensors.

When you move the sensor from one active port to other one, the sensors seems to be disconnected.

You have to run sensors auto-detection again.

Passive port is RJ11 connector on T-Hub splitter or on the 1-Wire sensor in daisy-chain wiring.

It can’t guarantee full length and full power for all following sensors.

The power issue can be solved with using the 1-Wire hub Power.

1-Wire UNI (RJ11)

1-Wire UNI is software extension of the 1-Wire bus.

RJ45 – Industrial Bus (RS-485)

HW group

The RS-485 bus can be used to connect up to 31 sensors over up to

1000m, even in industrial environments. For convenience and ease of use, TP cables and RJ45 modular jacks are used to wire the RS485 industrial bus.

The RS-485 bus uses the blue pair of wires (pins 4 and 5), labeled A and B. The brown pair (pins 7, 8) is used to supply 12V to power the

sensors.

If you use the S-Hub unit and the B-Cable module, the green pair of wires (pins 3, 6) is used for the return RS-485 connection. The green pair of wires is not connected at the Poseidon 2250 unit.

 Maximum wiring length: Up to 1000m in total

 Power: 12V/120 mA available at the RJ45 jack. Power supplied by the bus is sufficient for up to 3 external sensors, an S-Hub can be added to power more sensors

Alarm if sensor is disconnected: If the sensor is set to alarm whenever its reading is outside of the safe range, disconnection triggers the alarm

General RS-485 characteristics

 Maximum wiring length 1000 m





Up to 32 devices on the bus (Poseidon unit + 31 sensors)

 High resistance to noise in industrial environments

 Daisy chain topology is necessary (as opposed to star topology)

Each device must have a unique address

 Wire polarity must be respected

 Line must be terminated at the beginning and at the end www.HW-group.com 18 / 105


Termination

The RS-485 bus must be terminated at its end. The following options are available:

 Internal jumper on certain sensors (jumper named TERM or TERMINATOR) – for example in Temp-485 or HTemp-485

 B-Cable adapter with “LAST” configuration selected using the switches

 External resistor to terminate the bus at the “last” sensor, if the sensor has no jumpers or

DIP switches (Temp-485-Pt100). Connect the resistor between the A and B terminals of the last sensor.

The resistance of this resistor should be 120Ω. For short wirings, 470Ω can be used to reduce the current consumption of the sensors.

Note: A disadvantage is that it is necessary to have a wiring topology with a single

beginning and a single, terminated end, as opposed to the popular star topology with a single interconnection point.

Special accessories for the RS-485 bus

B-Cable - RJ45 / 4-wire connection

The B-Cable module is an adapter that converts a RJ45 jack connection to a block of 4 terminals A,B,+, –.

Some of the available RS-485 sensors already have a RJ45 jack; however, some only have 4 terminals labeled A,B,+,- .

Such sensors can be connected Poseidon 2250 or to an S-Hub using either a TP cable (4 or 6 wires) or the B-Cable module.

 The 4-wire connection length should not exceed

20cm.

 Sensor position on the RS-

485 bus (MIDDLE / LAST) is selected with jumpers; see the picture for details. www.HW-group.com 19 / 105


Sensor RJ45 MIDDLE cable

RS-485 cable, 0.5m, RJ45/4 pins. Connects

4 terminals (A, B, +, - ) to a RJ45 modular jack

(uses 3 pairs).

This cable is used to connect all sensors except for the last one in the chain.

Sensors connected with this cable must not

terminate the RS-485 bus.

Sensor RJ45 LAST cable

RS-485 cable, 0.5m, RJ45/4 pins. Connects

4 terminals (A, B, +, - ) to a RJ45 modular jack (2 pairs only).

This cable is used to connect the last sensor in the chain.

The sensor connected with this cable MUST

TERMINATE the RS-485 bus in one of the following ways:

 External 120 Ω resistor

 Jumper or DIP switch at the sensor set to TERM=ON

 For other options, see the sensor manual



Poseidon Spider

A converter to connect four 1Wire sensors to the Industrial bus (RS-485).

HW group

Each 1Wire sensor connects to a separate connector to enable a greater distance (up to 1000 meters, as defined by the Industrial bus specification).

S-Hub

– 8x RJ45 TP hub

The S-Hub unit with one input and 8 output ports is used to connect up to eight RS-485 sensors with TP cables.

 Makes it possible to connect sensors in a star topology (sensors must be connected using TP cables)





Simpler and faster connection of sensors

 Makes expanding an installation easier

Easier way of powering the sensors, a standard power adapter connects directly to the

S-Hub unit

Note: It is possible to mix the star / daisy-chain topologies with S-Hub, see the examples in the following chapter. www.HW-group.com 21 / 105

Activating 1Wire (RJ11) sensors

Press “1” to invoke the following dialog:

Enable 1-Wire temperature sensors? (yes/no)

Use “y” and “n” to make your selection. Poseidon then automatically detects the sensors on the

1Wire bus and displays the number of sensors found:

Searching ... 4 sensors found

All 1Wire sensors that you want to use must be connected to the Poseidon while autodetecting in

TCP Setup. This is the only way to initialize the sensors. The number of sensors cannot be changed manually. Detection is bound to the unique sensor ID addresses. Unrecognized sensors on the 1Wire bus are ignored.

Activating Industrial bus (RS-485) sensors

It is necessary to specify the number of sensors on the RS-485 bus and the unique RS-485 address of each sensor. Autodetection simplifies this task.

Press “3” to invoke the following dialog:

Enable RS485 temperature sensors? (yes/no)

Use “y” and “n” to make your selection and press Enter.

The automatic sensor detection prompt follows:

Automatic scanning? (yes/no)

Press “y” to proceed with autodetection on the RS-485 bus (takes a couple of seconds) and display a list of detected sensors:

Automatic scanning? (yes/no) y

Scanning ...

If you chose not to autodetect RS-485 sensors (Automatic scanning? > No), proceed to manual sensor definition:

The Poseidon prompts you for the number of sensors, a number from 1 to 32 is expected:

Automatic scanning? (yes/no) n

Set how many available? (1..32) : www.HW-group.com 55 / 105


After entering the number of sensors, you are prompted to enter the sensor address for every sensor.

The address is a character from the following ranges: “0”..“9”, “a”..“z”, “A”..“Z” (except “T”). If you simply press Enter, the character in parentheses is used. The previous address is automatically used if no new address is entered.

Set 1. sensor address : (A) A

Set 2. sensor address : (a) a

Set 3. sensor address : (3) 3

Note: The order of sensors on the RS-485 bus can be changed freely. However, the order defines the sequence in which the sensors are displayed in the WWW interface.

Changing a RS-485 sensor address

If you use RS-485 sensors without jumpers for configuring the address, you may need to change the factory-assigned address of a sensor. However, this is only possible when only one sensor, with a

changeable address, is connected to the RS-485 bus.

Press (9) to select the Assign RS-485 sensor address function:

Please check you have only one sensor on the RS-485 bus!

(Press enter to continue)

Enter new sensor address : Q

Address changed

Identifying RS-485 sensors

RS485 sensor address is reflected in the “ID” variable shown in the XML interface and listed in the

WWW interface. The address (“0…9”, “a…z” or “A…Z”) corresponds to the decimal ASCII value of the add ress character (“0”=48, “1”=49, “A”=65, “a”=97, “z”=122).

Using this variable, you can identify individual sensors before you name them in Flash Setup.

Serial setup

Serial (RS-232) setup is a terminal interface accessible with a standard terminal over the serial port.

Serial setup offers the same settings as the TCP setup and complements the Flash setup.

You can access the Serial setup using the HyperTerminal utility (serial port, 9600 8N1) or the

Hercules utility (“serial” tab).

 Configure your terminal program to 9600 8N1.

 Connect the serial cable to the Poseidon unit and select the serial port.

 Set DIP1=On and power off the Poseidon unit for at least 3 seconds.

 After completing the configuration, switch DIP1 back to Off and power off the Poseidon unit for at least 3 seconds.

Note: Some Poseidon models are not equipped with a RS-232 interface and therefore support TCP setup only. www.HW-group.com 56 / 105

Sample solutions and connections

HW group

Poseidon 2250 is extremely versatile. The following examples should answer most questions about what can be connected where.

Connecting 10 sensors to the 1-Wire bus

Eight temperature sensors and two humidity sensors are connected via the 1-Wire bus (RJ11) to a

Poseidon 2250 unit. 10 sensors in total are connected using two T-Box hubs and one T-Box2 hub.











Bus used to connect the sensors: 1Wire

Total bus length: 10m

Maximum number of sensors: 10

Sensors used:

 2x Humid-1Wire 1m

 8x Temp-1Wire 1m

Accessories used:

 2x T-Box

 1x T-Box2

Conclusion:

This solution is limited by the maximum 1Wire bus length. It is suitable for applications that use 1 to

10 sensors at one place (one location, 19” rack cabinet, etc.). www.HW-group.com 64 / 105


Poseidon Spider – bus converter

HW group

This solution combines the advantages of both buses. Two Spider units are far apart, connected using a Patch cable with RJ45 modular jacks. Both Spider units are used to connect four temperature or humidity sensors, each with a 10m cable. One Temp-485 sensor is located at the end of the chain and terminates the bus.

 One Temp-1Wire temperature sensor with a 10m cable is connected directly to the Poseidon

1250 (2250) unit to the RJ11 jack.

 Six temperature sensors and two humidity sensors are connected via the 1Wire bus (RJ11) to the Spider units. Each sensor is connected with a 10m cable.

 Two Spider units are connected to Poseidon 1250 with a standard RJ45 Patch cable over the Industrial bus. Bus length is limited to 1000m.

 The Spider unit has 4 inputs for external sensors and supports one sensor per connector – for a maximum of 4 sensors.

 The Industrial bus is terminated by connecting a Temp-485 sensor with termination enabled over a 4wire connection. The Spiders have different addresses and the “middle” mode set.

 Bus used to connect the sensors: 1Wire bus, Industrial Bus

 Total bus length: 1000m + 9x 10m

 Maximum number of sensors: 40

 Sensors used:

 6x Temp-1Wire 10m

 2x Humid-1Wire 3m

 1x Temp-485

 Accessories used:

2x Poseidon Spider

2x RJ45 Patch cable 300m (RJ45

1x RJ45 TP cable 300m (RJ45

– RJ45)

– 4 pins, “LAST” wiring)

Conclusion:

This solution is not limited by the 1Wire bus length. The Spider units can be up to 1000m apart. The solution is suitable for large-scale applications with many sensors (e.g. server rooms). www.HW-group.com 65 / 105


Using the Industrial bus – star topology

HW group

This solution demonstrates a star-like connection of sensors to the Industrial bus using an S-Hub unit. The S-Hub is the central point that connects individual sensors. The maximum bus length decreases to 500m because the cable lengths of all sensors connected to the S-Hub must be

counted twice. A Temp-485 sensor with termination is at the end of the bus.

 One Temp-1Wire temperature sensor with a 10m cable is connected directly to the

Poseidon 1250 unit to the RJ11 jack.

 The Industrial bus connects to the S-Hub input via a RJ45 patch cable. At the same time, the cable carries power to the sensors and to the S-Hub; extra power can be supplied by an external power adaptor.

 Sensors must be connected to the S-Hub in proper sequence, starting from output

No. 1. Outputs cannot be skipped. (For instance, connecting outputs 1,2,5,6 while leaving outputs 3 and 4 unconnected will not work.)

 First three temperature (Temp-485) and temperature/humidity (HTemp-485) sensors are connected in sequence to the first three outputs. An RJ45 / 6-wire cable, wired according to the “MIDDLE” version, is used to connect them.

 The Spider unit is connected with a patch cord. The Spider connects four Temp-1Wire sensors at 4x 10m distances. The Spider unit is in the “MIDDLE” mode.

 The Industrial Bus is terminated at the Temp-485 sensor connected to the S-Hub at position

No. 5. The connecting cable is wired according to the “LAST” version, termination is enabled at the sensor (Term=On). www.HW-group.com 66 / 105


Using the Industrial bus – daisy chain

HW group

This solution demonstrates daisy-chain linked sensors on the Industrial bus. Note the distances between sensors. The Spider unit connects four local temperature sensors. At the end of the bus, there is a Sens-UI voltage and current sensor with termination enabled.

 One Temp-1Wire temperature sensor with a 10m cable is connected directly to the

Poseidon 1250 unit to the RJ11 jack.

 Two HTemp-485 temperature/humidity sensors are connected at the beginning of the bus, using a 4-wire cable connected to the terminals.





The bus continues to the Temp-485 temperature sensor, still using 4 wires.

 The Temp-485-Pt100-Cable uses a 4-wire connection as well. The temperature is measured by a Pt100 sensor mounted on a 2m silicon cable.

The next Temp-485-Pt100-2xDIN converter, mounted on a DIN rail, uses a 4-wire connection. Two external Pt100 thermometers measure two temperature values.

 The following Temp-485-Pt100-Box sensor, designed for outdoor environment, includes a probe for precise temperature measurement. 4-wire connection.

 The Spider unit is, on the contrary, connected via a RJ45 jack. The Spider connects four

Temp-1Wire sensors located 4x 10m away.

Please note the crossing of cables. It is necessary to respect the input and output designation of the RJ45 jacks. The Spider is in the “middle” mode.

 The Industrial bus finally leads, via a 4-wire connection, to a Sens-UI sensor that measures external voltage and current.

At this sensor, the bus is terminated by an external 120

Ω resistor. www.HW-group.com 67 / 105

Poseidon & Damocles Installation Wizard

The Installation Wizard simplifies the use of Poseidon and Damocles products in your applications.

Simply call the wizard from within your application to add, remove or configure a Poseidon or

Damocles unit.

Applications that use remote inputs and outputs over the network need to have device support added, for instance using XML, which is easily achieved with our HWg SDK. However, the user then still needs to link the Poseidon or Damocles unit to the application.

To do so, one can either prompt the user for an IP address and a port, or search the network for units automatically. The latter, user-friendly method, is exactly what the Installation Wizard supports. The wizard guides the user through the process of identifying the devices, and returns one or more IP addresses of the selected devices to your application.

Source code of the wizard is available in the HWg SDK for several programming languages, together with an example application that invokes the wizard.

Advantages of using the wizard

 User-friendly device detection









Ability to find one or more devices

Quick and easy way to add support for our products to your application

Visual look-and-feel matches the Poseidon and Damocles style

All functions that you need to call from your application are available in source form

Conclusion:

The installation wizard is completely free. It is intended for SW developers and aims to simplify support for Poseidon and Damocles line of products.

For detailed information, see: AN29: PosDamIO – use command line to control outputs www.HW-group.com 70 / 105


HWg SDK

HW group

HWg SDK is a library of functions, as well as examples of their use, for Unix and Windows. The functions are intended to help third-party SW solutions communicate with our products over IP. SDK reduces the time needed to implement support for our products into your SW.

 HWg SDK is free of charge; however, you need to register before downloading. After registering, you will automatically receive a link to the latest version by e-mail. http://www.hw-group.com/software/sdk/index_en.htm

 HWg SDK is available in English only.

 SDK installs to the Windows environment, its interface is HTML-based.

When is the SDK useful for you? For example, Poseidon products make the readings available in a well-documented XML file. A simple XML parser is sufficient to transform the data into another structure. However, to receive alarm alerts, a SNMP trap parser needs to be implemented, etc.

All of these functions use standard interfaces. On the other hand, unless you already have a complete SNMP implementation in your software, it is easier to use HWg SDK functions that invoke the respective event handlers in your software.

Basic SDK features

XML – Interface description

Poseidon supports the following XML files:

 values.xml

Small file for periodical polling of sensor readings. Subset of setup.xml – only basic identification and sensor readings are included.

 setup.xml

Complete configuration of the device.



Reading values using XML

HW group

Sensor readings are available as a HTML page intended for human users, and as a XML page

(values.xml). Any application can easily read the values from XML tags.

XML record example for a temperature sensor:

<Entry>

<Name>Sensor 16</Name>

<Interface>RS485</Interface>

<ID>75</ID>

<Value>27.8</Value>

<Min>10.0</Min>

<Max>50.0</Max>

<Hyst>0.0</Hyst>

<SNMPTrap>1</SNMPTrap>

<EmailSMS>0</EmailSMS>

<AlarmState>Active</AlarmState>

<Color>0</Color>

<UnitType>C</UnitType>

</Entry>

- Sensor name

- Sensor interface

- Unique identifier within the device

- Current temperature, string with a decimal separator, no units

- Lower alarm threshold, string with a decimal separator, no units

- Upper alarm threshold, string with a decimal separator, no units

- Hysteresis, string with a decimal separator, no units

- SNMP Trap, 0 = off, 1 = on

- E-mail, SMS, 0 = off, 1 = on

- Alarm, Active or Inactive

- Line color, represents sensor status

Note: You can back up your device configuration by downloading the setup.xml file.

Writing values to the device using XML

The setup.xml and values.xml files can be uploaded to the Poseidon unit, if allowed by the protective measures (HTTP password, IP address filter, DIP switch setting).

For downloading or uploading XML files from/to the Poseidon unit, we recommend the utility attached to Application Note 29: AN29: PosDamIO controls outputs from the command line. www.HW-group.com 83 / 105

Modbus over TCP – Interface description

HW group

Modbus is a communication protocol designed for measuring devices that communicate over RS-485 or RS-232 (sometimes named Modbus RTU). The Modbus protocol itself allows to share the

memory area for variables, e.g. the readings, over one of the physical interfaces. Modbus/TCP is an extension of this protocol for communication over Ethernet.

Its advantages include easy implementation in industrial visualization systems.

The Poseidon works as a TCP Server at port 502 (Modbus standard). The Modbus/TCP communication takes place using the given addresses. For details, see http://www.modbus.org

.

Caution: The supported Modbus/TCP implementation requires that the “Slave ID” variable is set to 2. If the connection cannot be established, check this setting. (The actual name may differ in your software

– it used to be an address to distinguish multiple devices on a

RS-485 line in case of Modbus/RTU).

Note: For details about Modbus/TCP, see AN28: Damocles family & Modbus/TCP at our website. www.HW-group.com 91 / 105


Testing Modbus/TCP with “Modbus Poll 3.20”

HW group

The supplied CD contains the Modbus Poll utility, which can serve as a simple client for reading Modbus/TCP values – for 30 days after it is run for the first time.

In the demo mode, you can see the sensor readings and dry contact states for the first 4 minutes.

Configuration files that define the addresses of sensors and digital inputs for the online Poseidon demo,

“Poseidon_Sensors.mbp” and

“Poseidon_Inputs.mbp”, are available on the CD or as an archive on the Internet.

Open these two files, select a TCP/IP connection and the address of our online demo, and establish the connection.

SNMP – Interface description

HW group

SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) is a protocol designed for exchanging basic system information using short packets sent over UDP/IP.

Individual variables are described in a MIB (Management Information Base) table that pertains to a particular device. The MIB is distributed as a separate

.mib file. For Poseidon products, the MIB is available on the supplied CD and at our website.

SNMP is an asynchronous protocol based on the client/server model (SNMP Client / SNMP Agent in this case). This means that a monitoring center (SNMP Client) requests the states of individual variables, and the SNMP Agent implemented in the device responds.

SNMP support is implemented in many languages designed for creating dynamic websites (PHP,

ASP, Java, Perl, Python, and so on). Thanks to available modules, read and write access to data provided by a device over SNMP is relatively quick to implement.

In the standard communication mode, a “request and response” communication model is used.

Variables are defined by a hierarchy (sequence) of numbers that is described in the MIB table, where the meanings, names and formats of individual variables are given. If you know the hierarchy

(number sequence, for example “.1.3.6.1.4.1.21796.3.3.1.1.2.3” for the state of the third binary input), you do not need the MIB table.

For clarity, the following terms need to be understood:

 MIB table

– The .mib file is a text file that describes individual variables supported by the device. It contains the addresses, names, descriptions and numeric formats of the variables.

 OID is a variable identifier in the table. It is the “long” number that defines the position of the variable in the tree of variables.

Some programs for working with SNMP do not support MIB files. In this case, you need to enter the

OID strings manually. These strings can be found in the MIB table. However, to save you some time in first experiments with SNMP, a list of several variables with their OIDs follows: www.HW-group.com 93 / 105

SNMP Trap – Interface description

HW group

Whenever a value gets outside of the safe range for a sensor, the sensor enters the ALARM state. To notify about the alarm state, a SNMP trap is send to the specified IP address.

SNMP traps consist of two UDP packets sent by the

SNMP Agent to the monitoring center (SNMP Client).

The packet format is detailed in the MIB table. The first packet contains information about raising the ALARM, the second packet contains additional info about the sensor causing the alarm. When the alarm state ends (e.g. the temperature returns to the safe range), two more UDP packets are sent to inform about the termination of the alarm state.

This method was developed for faster notification of alarms because – in the normal request / response SNMP mode – the polling period may range from hundreds of milliseconds to minutes or even days.

For dry contacts, alarm can be sent upon opening/closing, or turned off completely.

SNMP traps sent by the Poseidon

The MIB table contains a list as well as detailed descriptions of SNMP traps. An overview follows.

 Cold Start + Link Up Trap

A pair of SNMP traps sent after the device starts up. If a sensor is in alarm upon startup, two more traps immediately follow.

 Alarm raised on a dry contact

A pair of SNMP traps sent when an alarm is activated for a dry contact. The first trap contains alarm activation identification for maintaining the “alarm table”. The second trap contains, for instance, the name of the input in alarm.

 Alarm terminated on a dry contact

A pair of SNMP traps sent when an alarm ends for a dry contact. This pair is always preceded by the traps related to the alarm activation. The first trap contains alarm activation identification for mainta ining the “alarm table”. The second trap contains, for instance, the name of the input in alarm.

 Alarm activated due to sensor value

A pair of SNMP traps sent when a sensor alarm is activated (temperature, humidity and others). Alarm is activated if the reading gets out of the defined range



hysteresis. The first trap contains alarm activation identification for maintaining the “alarm table”. The second trap contains the assigned sensor name and the value causing the alarm.

 Alarm activated due to sensor value

A pair of SNMP traps sent when a sensor alarm is activated (temperature, humidity and others). Alarm ends when the reading returns back to the safe range



hysteresis. The first trap contains alarm activation identification for maintaining the “alarm table”. The second trap contains the assigned sensor name and the value causing the alarm. www.HW-group.com 97 / 105
