The information in this page is updated in accordance with firmware version TRB1_R_00.07.10.2.


Summary

The Data to Server feature provides you with the possibility to set up data senders that collect data from various sources and periodically send it to remote servers.

If you're having trouble finding this page or some of the parameters described here on your device's WebUI, you should turn on "Advanced WebUI" mode. You can do that by clicking the "Advanced" button, located at the top of the WebUI.

Data Senders

A Data Sender is an instance that gathers and periodically sends collected data to a specified server. The Data Senders list is empty by default so, in order to begin configuration you must add a new data sender first. To add a new data sender, click the 'Add' button.

After this you should be redirected to the newly added data sender's configuration page.

Sender Settings

Refer to the table below for descriptions on data sender configuration fields.

Note: these tables have coloring schemes to indicate which fields can be seen with different configuration.

General

Field Value Description
Name string; default: none Name of the data sender. Used for easier data senders management purposes only (optional).
Type Base | GSM | Lua script | Mobile usage|MNF info|Modbus* | Modbus Alarms |DNP3* |MQTT | OPC UA |DLMS*; default: Base Source of the data to be sent to server.
Format type Json | Custom; default: Json Arranges the format of the sent JSON segment.
Format string string; default: none Specifies custom format string.
Empty value string; default: N/A A string which will be placed if any value cannot be received.
Delimeter string (Maximum length of value is 1 bytes); default: N/A Specifies delimiters for multiple data segments.
Segment count integer [1..64]; default: 1 Max segment count in one JSON string sent to server.
Send as object off | on; default: off When turned on, sends JSON segment as object and not as an array element.
Data filtering All | Server ID | Alarm ID | Register number; default: All If Data type: Modbus alarms data. Choose which data this sender will send to server.
Data filtering All | Server IP address | Server ID | Request name ; default: All If Data type: Modbus data. Choose which data this sender will send to server.
Data period Day | Week | Month; default: Day If Data type: Mobile usage. Choose for which time period to send info from.
Current off | on; default: off If Data type: Mobile usage.
Data filtering All | Name; default: All If Data type: DLMS. Choose which data this sender will send to server.
Invert file off | on; default: off If Data type: DLMS. Inverts filter condition.
Data filtering All | Address | IP; default: All If Data type: DNP3. Choose which data this sender will send to server.
Database RAM | Flash; default: RAM Database location
Data filtering All | Name ; default: All If Data type: OPC UA. Choose which data this sender will send to server.
Server address Default: empty Hostname or ip address of the broker to connect to.
Port integer [0..65535]; default: 1883 Port number for connecting to MQTT.
Keepalive integer [1..640]; default: 60 MQTT Keepalive period in seconds.
Topic string; default: none MQTT topic to be used for publishing the data.
Client ID string; default: none Client ID to send with the data. If empty, a random client ID will be generated
QoS integer [0..2]; default: 0 MQTT Quality of Service. Allowed values:
  • 0 - when we prefer that the message will not arrive at all rather than arrive twice,
  • 1 - when we want the message to arrive at least once but don't care if it arrives twice (or more),
  • 2 - when we want the message to arrive exactly once. A higher QoS value means a slower transfer.

Certificate based: Client certificate .crt file; default: none Certificate file is a type of digital certificate that is used by client systems to make authenticated requests to a remote server. If client certificate is not needed, leave both client certificate and client key fields empty.
Certificate based: CLient private Key .key file; default: none File containing private key for this client. This file needs to be not encrypted.
Pre-shared key based: Pre-Shared-Key string; default: none The pre-shared-key in hex format with no leading "0x".
Pre-shared key based: Identity string; default: none The identity of this client. May be used as the username depending on the server settings.
Username string; default: none Username used in authentication.
