8.6.5 Define Threshold Rules for Email
To define a threshold, go to
Local Registers
>
Action Rules
>
Thresholds
.
Depending upon which recipients are defined, select the appropriate email or SMS checkbox for the threshold rule (under
Email/SMS on state transition
). When the threshold rules goes active or inactive, an email is generated.
For more information on how to set up threshold rules, refer to the DXM Configuration Software Instruction Manual (p/n
).
8.6.6 Define Log File Parameters for Emailing Log Files
The DXM can email log files generated on the device.
Before emailing log files, set the
Mail and Messaging
parameters to provide the login credentials. When using Ethernet,
verify the IP address settings are defined on the
Ethernet
screen. Set the DXM time, under
Settings
>
System
, so that all
data is properly time stamped.
Use the
Local Registers
>
Local Registers in Use
>
Edit Register
screen to select which registers to log which log file (set
the
SD card logging
to the log file. Define the setup of the log file using the
Settings
>
Logging
screen. Typical settings are
shown.
1. Enable the log and timestamp with every entry.
2. Enter the filename, log rate, and the maximum file size to send via email (5 to 10k is an efficient size for a cellular
connection). Banner does not recommend setting the log file size larger than 100 kB as this cannot be read through
the configuration software and must be read directly from the SD card.
3. Define the email address.
Figure 49. Defining the data log files
4. Define the local register data put into the log file using the
Local Registers
>
Local Register Configuration
screen,
under the
Logging and Protocol Conversion
section. From the
SD Card Logging
drop-down list, select the log file
to write to. Log files are written in CSV format.
5. Use the DXM Configuration Software to read back the log files. Under
Settings
>
Logging
, click
Refresh List
,
highlight the file to download, then click
Save Selected
.
8.7 Ethernet and Cellular Push Retries
The DXM can be configured to send register data packets to a webserver. When the Ethernet or cell communications path is
not operating, the DXM retries the send procedure. The communications retry process is outlined below for each
configuration.
Regardless of the communications type (Ethernet or cellular), a failed attempt results in the register data packet being saved
on the local micro SD card
4
. The number of retries will depend upon the network connection type.
When there is bad cellular signal strength or there is no Ethernet connection, the transmission attempts are not counted as
failed attempts to send data. Only when there is a good network connection and there are 10 failed attempts will the
controller archive the data on the SD card. Data archived on the SD card must be manually retrieved.
4
Enable HTTP logging to save data on the SD card; this is the factory default. See SETTINGS -> LOGGING in the DXM Configuration Tool.
