The
TMSO.CU
is the central hub for all other components of the system.
Since not every TMSO.IM has a separate connection to the Internet, a TMSO.CU is required
for each group of sensors.
Each TMSO.CU can be connected to up to 20 TMSO.IMs.
In fact, the geometrical positioning of the devices is the limiting factor, as the radio link between
the TMSO.IM and the TMSO.CU must always be ensured! This means a direct line of sight
that is as free of obstacles as possible!
The TMSO.IMs send status information and their measurement data to the TMSO.CU via the
TMSO Radio. This collects the data in various files, which are then written to the cloud
(Dropbox). All active TMSO.CUs sort their data independently and automatically, so that only
one Dropbox account is required for any number of systems.
The TMS.Software installed on a PC with an Internet connection uses this cloud storage as a
data source and reads the files for further analysis. It automatically differentiates between
status information of the system, the configuration and the actual measurement data and
prepares them accordingly for viewing and further processing by the user.
