Appendix A. Installation Scenarios
A.5 Example 5: Call-back
Call-back is the ability of a remote site to initiate a call to LoggerNet and have
LoggerNet call back
to collect data. Call-back is supported in networks
consisting of RF450s as the single communications device as in Examples 1, 2,
and 3. Example configurations where call-back is supported:
LN-RF450 Master ~~~~~RF450 Slave -DL
LN-RF450 Master ~~~~~~RF450 Slave/Repeater-DL~~~~~~RF450 Slave-DL
LN-RF450 Master ~~~~~~~~RF450 Repeater ~~~~~~~~RF450 Slave -DL
LN-Phone Modem -----COM220-DL-RF450 Master ~~~~~~RF450 Slave -DL
NOTE: LN=LoggerNet; DL=Datalogger
In a mixed-communication devices network, e.g. phone to RF450, the
base
site
makes the transition between communication types. Call-back is NOT
supported when the base RF450's Active Interface is configured as Modem
Enable (ME) Master. The RF450's Active Interface is configured as ME
Master when the CS I/O port is used for direct connection to a ME device
(COM200, COM210, COM220, MD485, etc). The connection is done by
using an A100. Example configurations where call-back is NOT supported:
LN-Phone Modem -----COM220-CSI null modem-RF450 Master~~~~~RF450
Slave -DL(1)
LN--Ethernet--RavenXT-rs232nullmodem-RF450 Master~~RF450 Slave -DL
NOTE: LN=LoggerNet; DL=Datalogger
In this example the RF450s are set-up as described in Example 1. In the
following program the datalogger will send a variable named Callback to
LoggerNet (PakBus address 4094) when the CallBackFlag variable is “true”.
After LoggerNet receives the variable "Callback" it will begin collecting data
from the datalogger and store it into a file based on the data collection settings
in
LoggerNet’s
Setup window. Note that the PakBus Port setting in
LoggerNet’s Setup window must be set to Always Open.
