Tunnel – Tunnel – Sending telemetries (GPIOs, ADCs values) to a web server by HTTP

Scenario details:

• We want to monitor a water tank level. To do this, an analog input of a GPRS modem will be used. The modem will be always connected to GPRS and will use a dynamic IP address
• The modem must take a measurement every 5 minutes and send it to a Web server via GPRS using HTTP GET to create a LOG file with the daily consumption statistics
• Access the modem’s internal web server to check the status of the tank in real time. from the internal webserver act over a relay which allows the flow entry into the tank. The access to the webserver won’t have a firewall (from any IP) but will be protected by a username and password

Solution: MTX-Tunnel firmware + MTX-Java-IoT/MTX-Java-T/MTX-Java-T2

Details:

• Remember the descriptions E/S of the MTX-4G-Java-IoT-STD-N-RL
• Example of the JSON received by the webserver:

{“IMEI”:354033090131429,”TS”:”23/12/18 11:09:59”,”TYPE”:”IOS”,”P”:”12345678”,”IO1” :0,”IO2”:0,”IO3”:0,”IO4”:0,“IO5”:1,”IO6”:0,”IO7”:0,”IO8”:0,”IO9”:0,”IO10”:0,”AD1”:0, ”AD2”:0,”CO1”:“0”,”CO2”:”0”,”CO3”:”0”}

Where:
IMEI: indicates the modem IMEI
TS: timestamp of the date reading in the modem
TYPE: data frame kind (IOS)
P: field indicated in LOGGER_password
IOx: x digital I/O (check Annex 10 to know which are used by this equipment. They are IO1, …
IO6 in case of the relay model)
ADx: digital input 1 and 2 (values from 0 to 50000)
COx: pulse counter 1 and 2 (GPIO1, GPIO2 and GPIO3)
