2.4.2 Sensor
Sensors can operate in different modes:
•
Mesh
– default mode, makes measurements and contributes to the sensor
mesh.
•
Leaf
– makes measurements only and uses but doesn’t contribute to, the
sensor mesh.
•
Relay
– contributes only to the sensor mesh but makes no measurements.
Mesh/leaf modes are associated with a hierarchical location as they relate to
machine monitoring. Relay nodes however are related only to the mesh infrastructure
and can only be added directly to a gateway in the IMx-1 system view. To add a relay
node:
•
Select a gateway in the Enlight Collect IMx-1 system view.
•
Beneath th
e lower sensor table, click on ‘New’.
•
In the dialog a descriptive Name, Gateway and Location descriptor can be
assigned.

Relay node dialog example
Note:
•
Although the location field entry will be displayed in the app during
commissioning, when configuring a relay node, a name that hints at its
physical location or position in the mesh may still be useful.
