Tunnel – Periodical sending of vehicle’s GPS locations and the registers of Modbus RTU temperature sensor RS485 to a Web server. Occasional 3G-5RS232 gateway for PLC’s firmware actualization
Scenario details:
- We have a truck whose GPS location and temperature of the 3 temperature sensors should be monitored. The truck is also equipped with a control PLC with RS232 serial port.There should be the possibility to update the PLC’s firmware remotely by the above mentioned serial port at any moment
- The modem must collect GPS location every 1 minute and send it in JSON format to a Web server throught HTTP POST
- The modem must read the temperature from the RS485sensors every 10 minutes and send it to a Web server throught HTTP POST
- The modem should be ready for updating the control PLC at any moment, therefore a 3GRS232 gateway must be activated in TCP 20010 port
- The modem should be able to be configured remotely via SMS and Telnet
Solution: MTX-Tunnel firmware + MTX-Java-IoT/MTX-Java-T/MTX-Java-T2

Details:
- The format of JSON object that MTX-Tunnel will send to a Web server, for sensor 1 (23.0º) is similar to the following structure:
{“IMEI”:353234028103206,”P”:”ID00001”,”TYPE”:”MODB”,”A”:1,”TS”:”20/04/13 08:31:44”,”ST”:1, “V1”:230}
- For sensor 2 (24.5º)
{“IMEI”:353234028103206,”P”:”ID00001”,”TYPE”:”MODB”,”A”:2,”TS”:”20/04/13 08:31:44”,”ST”:1, “V1”:245}
- For sensor 3 (22.1º)
{“IMEI”:353234028103206,”P”:”ID00001”,”TYPE”:”MODB”,”A”:2,”TS”:”20/04/13 08:31:44”,”ST”:1, “V1”:221}
- And for GPS frames:
{“IMEI”:357044060013890,”TYPE”:”GPS”,”P”:”ID00001”,”DATE”:”2016/10/30”, “TIME”:”21:35:51”,”LAT”:”41.629803”,”NS”:”N”,”LON”:”2.3609767”,”EW”:”E”, ”ALT”:”197.61”,”SPE”:”2.98”,”COU”:”9.85”,”STA”:”3”,”HPO”:”1.25”,”VDO”:”0.75”, “SAT”:”05”}
Where:
| IMEI | IMEI of the modem |
| TYPE | Data frame type |
| P | Text specified in the parameter LOGGER_password |
| DATE | UTC date collected directly from GPS |
| TIME | UTC time collected directly from GPS |
| LAT | Latitude |
| NS | N=North, S=South |
| LON | Longitude |
| EW | E=East, W=West |
| ATL | Altitude |
| SPE | Speed |
| COU | Direction (0 – 359º) |
| STA | GPS status (0=No fix, 2=2D, 3=3D) |
| HPO | Horizontal accuracy (the closer to 1 the better) |
| VDO | Vertical accuracy (the closer to 1 the better) |
| SAT | Satellite nº |
- Remeber that the modem model used in this example has 2 serial ports: the main port (RS232) and the secondary port (RS232 and RS485). To configure the secondary port as RS485 you should set microswitch 2 in “ON”, as it is shown in Annex A of this manual
Geben Sie den Verbindungsmodus „ethernet“ oder „modem“ ein:
Stellen Sie bei einer Ethernet-Konfiguration sicher, dass die IP-Parameter mit dem Serverzugriff entsprechend der lokalen Netzwerkkonfiguration des Hubs kompatibel sind. Bei einer Ethernet-Verbindung muss die Konfiguration mit der lokalen Netztopologie des Hubs kompatibel sein, damit dieser auf die Server zugreifen kann. Diese Konfiguration erfolgt über die Konfigurationsseite „Networks“ (siehe Kapitel 3.2.2.3: „Netzwerke (Networks)“).
Bei einer Modemverbindung muss das Modem korrekt konfiguriert sein, bevor eine Verbindung hergestellt werden kann. Diese Konfiguration erfolgt auf der Konfigurationsseite „Modem“ (siehe Kapitel 3.2.2.4: „Modem“).
Die minimal zu konfigurierenden Serverparameter sind folgende:
Diese Felder müssen konfiguriert werden: „Interface“, „Type“, „Server type“, „Address“, „Port“, „Login“ und „Password“.
In den übrigen Feldern können die Standardwerte beibehalten werden, solange die Verzeichnisse zuvor korrekt angelegt wurden. Weitere Einzelheiten siehe Kapitel 3.1.2: „Konfigurationsdateien“.
Warten Sie. Der Hub startet nach ein paar Augenblicken mit der Werkseinstellung neu.
