SignalFire Telemetry
Rev 1.7
System Check-In Period
This setting controls how often the node will read the Modbus device and forward the register data to the
gateway.
Modbus Sensor Warm-up Time
The sensor warm-up time controls how long power is applied to the Modbus sensor prior to data collection.
The default is 2 seconds which is used for most simple sensors, some may require longer warm-up times.
Contact your sensor manufacturer or SignalFire for details.
Operating Mode
The Sentinel Modbus node requires that the Sentinel is configured with a list of Modbus registers
to be read from the attached sensor using the SignalFire Toolkit application prior to installation.
The preconfigured set of registers is automatically read from the Modbus sensor device and forwarded to the
Modbus gateway on a pre-defined schedule (1 minute to 5 minutes is typical). The register data is then
buffered in the gateway and is available to be read by the RTU at any time at the same slave ID as the attached
Modbus device. Unlike other Sentinels,
the Sentinel Modbus will not appear on the Gateway's list of nodes
unless it has at least one program step.
