4.1
UNIT IDENTIFICATION AND STATUS
Each Guardian has addressing capability which is used for diagnostics and remote commands
only
.
4.1.1.1
LONG ID NUMBER
This value is assigned at the factory but may be modified using the Field Programming Software. The ID Number is
used to uniquely identify the Guardian for remote commands and Offline Diagnostics. The ID Number may have
values within the range of 1 to 4294967295 but
4.1.1.2
SHORT ID
multiples of 1024 should not be used
This value (maximum 1023) is the low order 10 bits of the ID Number. It is used to identify online diagnostics only.
It may not be modified directly using the Field Programming Software; it is always derived from the ID Number. All
units within a network should have unique Short ID numbers to avoid ambiguity in Online Diagnostics reports.
The Guardian Field Programming Software may be used to check the value of the Short ID. When setting up a
network, we recommend checking each unit to make sure there is no duplication of Short ID numbers.
Duplications may be resolved by changing the Long
ID Number.
If ID Numbers are set within the range of 1 to 1023, the ID Number and the Short ID will always have the same
value.
4.2
DIAGNOSTICS
Guardian units continually monitor and report on their environmental and operating conditions.
4.2.1
ONLINE DIAGNOSTICS
Information is automatically sent by each unit at the beginning of every transmission.
Online Diagnostics (statistics) require the use of a network configuration such as that specified in the “Network
Using Guardian for Online Diagnostics” Section 2.2.6. Online diagnostics do not interfere with normal network
operation. Online diagnostics provide four types of information:
Short ID
RSSI
Temperature
Battery
Forward Power
Reverse Power
Time
