The
”Sensus ID”
is a list of Sensus iPERL watermeters, that are intended to be read by the WB169-430 module.
It contains 5 editable fields (index 1 - 5), where watermeter IDs (serial numbers) can be preset. Any received
messages. Received messages from any other watermeters (that are not in the table) are ignored.
In the
lower section of the table
there are current values of internal sensors (temperature, voltage...) and
broadcasting parameters. There are following parameters:
CPU Temp.
current value of processor temperature (read only)
Batt. voltage
current value of battery voltage (read only)
Send periode
setting of info-messages transmitting period
WMBUS Mode
setting of WMBUS communication mode
WMBUS Channel
setting of WMBUS RF channel
WMBUS Power
setting of transmitting power
WMBUS recv. counter
current number of received messages (read only)
WMBUS send counter
current number of transmitted messages (read only)
In the non-editable fields
”CPU Temp.”
and
”Batt. voltage”
there are displayed current values of processor
temperature and battery voltage of the module. These values are transmitted in each info-message (see description
of information message in section
”
Structure of WB169-430 module data message”).
The
”Send periode”
parameter is used for setting of broadcasting period of regular information messages. Value
of the period should be set in minutes; default setting is 60 minutes. Broadcasting is disabled by setting this
parameter to zero value. More detailed description of this variable and possibilities of its setting are explained in
details in section
”
Commands for WMBUS messages settings”.
Editable variables
”WMBUS Mode”
,
”WMBUS Channel”
and
”WMBUS Power”
are used for settings
of radio-frequency subsystem of the module. More detailed description of these variables and possibilities of their
setting are explained in details in section
”
Modem group commands”.
The
”WMBUS Mode”
parameter can be used for selection of the module’s WMBUS communication mode.
Factory setting is ”N1” mode, variable is entered by choosing from pre-set relevant options.
The
”WMBUS Channel”
parameter can be used for selection of the module’s frequency channel. Frequency
channels within particular frequency bands are defined by the M-Bus standard. Variable is entered by choosing
from pre-set relevant options (there are 7 options for WB169-430 module).
The
”WMBUS Power”
parameter can be used for selection of the module’s transmitting power. Factory setting
is 100 mW (moderate power), variable is entered by choosing from pre-set relevant options.
In the non-editable fields
”WMBUS recv. counter”
and
”WMBUS send counter”
there are displayed cur-
rent numbers of received and transmitted messages from the last reset of the module. These data can be used for
module’s diagnostics.
Most of module parameters can be configured also by using of
”
BT-IRDA” converter and
”
SOFTLINK Con-
figurator”
mobile application. This way of configuration can be used for the parameters, that are included in
some of configuration forms of the application. Current version of
”
SOFTLINK Configurator” application supports
fulfilment of all settings, that should be performed at the installation site, including basic tests. In the figure
there is an identification form of WB169-430 module (bordered by grey colour), page for form selection (bordered
by yellow colour), administration form (bordered by blue colour) and form for encryption setting (bordered by green
colour).
