Infrastructure
Infrastructure contains all the hardware and software elements that collect and deliver the measurements to the system.
There are also measuring ranges and definitions of alarm distribution devices like relay boxes and alarm towers.
The infrastructure items are presented in the table below.
Object
An object represents monitored equipment or location like refrigerator or room. An object always belongs to at least one group and can be equipped with measuring point(s).
Gateway
It is a hardware or software block that collects the measurements from the measuring points and delivers them to the system.
Uninstalled Gateway
It is a hardware or software block that collects the measurements from the measuring points and delivers them to the system that is sending the messages to the system but is not yet defined so its MAC address is not present in the database.
Node Structure
A view showing the gateways and MPs assigned to them.
Measuring Point
An item that makes measurements and delivers them to its gateway. A measuring point is connected to an object.
Uninstalled Measuring Point
An item that makes measurements that is detected by its gateway but not connected to an object. After connecting it to an object it becomes a measuring point.
Measuring Range
A linear range defined by its minimum and maximum values. The measuring range is used to calculate the measurement for analogue to digital inputs.
Relay Box
A relay controlled over TCP/IP protocol (P/N CG1018). It can be used to e.g., present an alarm using a strobe light or alarm tower.
