Manual MobiSense What is in the shipment: The MobiSense basic is sold without options, power supply or cables. You should compare the shipping list with the order placed. Any discrepancies should be reported immediately to your local distributor. First time power on. Before you start working with the unit you should be aware of the following: Charge the internal MobiSense battery. This goes automatically after applying power fore 24h.
Manual MobiSense Cabling Use a 9 pin datacom extension cable to make connection between MobiSense console port and your PC or terminal. Switch the MobiSense on by applying power to the unit the voltage should between the 9-36 volts DC. The follow screens will show up: Error messages might occur due to absence of certain components like compact flash. Filename : MobiSense Manual v03 - Wittich.
Manual MobiSense After a complete start-up the screen, from a new delivered MobiSense will show the following: “Start GPRS module” message will only appear if GPRS unit is mounted and activated in the software. The message in the right top GPRS:off is the GPRS communication indicator. No GPRS link is operational and the simcard is missing. Next step is to check date and time visible at the top right corner of the screen. See set time to make alterations.
Manual MobiSense Simcard: Only applicable if a GPRS/GSM module is installed. Location: The simcard is next to the compact-flash card located. To enter the card you should follow the following procedures: A: B: C: Disconnect the power cable from the MobiSense. Use a Phillips screwdriver to remove the four screws located at the site panel. This is the panel where the compact-flash entry is visible. Look for the simcard holder and put the card in the correct way, contacts facing the PCB, in its slot.
Manual MobiSense Possibilities: The MobiSense allows you to transport measurement values over an IP and or GPRS network. The MobiSense is capable of handling the following sensors or generate the following signals: - 4-20 mA (effective: 0-25mA) - -10V to +10V - 64 external nodes providing measure and signal generation. - RS232 serial control or logging serial data. The MobiSense is capable of handling 128 channels.
Manual MobiSense Alarm trapping: The unit is designed to do not only logging but also for evaluating signal and take action on signal levels. Signals to high, to low, between or changes as function of time.
Manual MobiSense Alarm handler The alarm handler is able to take care of certain tasks like switch-off logging, SMS or setting outputs. In a normal non-alarm situation data could be transmitted in a given interval as defined by UPDATETIMER. During an alarm the user is able to define a different transmission interval. Alarm condition At Alarm Able to initiate: Send SMS Set one or more Outputs on excitation card Stop logging Updatetimer expires: Time to update remote unit with measured data.
Manual MobiSense Configure the MobiSense: The first step is to stop the master application running at the MobiSense. Press the key and X key simultaneously to stop the master application. Hit the enter key a few times and a prompt a:\> will appear. Repeat this till the prompt appears. All information is loaded in an editable file CHIP.INI. If you are an experienced user you could generate this file on your PC and store this file at a later stage in the MobiSense.
Manual MobiSense Measuring in- and outputs: Where is my input and what needs to be done before to create an output somewhere? First you have to find out what and how to connect the internal (software) signals. Each port has an address (port number) and is directly equated with the signal evaluation mechanism. This port could have a sub port example port 160 sub port 1 is the first physical connector in a four port ADC in slot one. PORT= (number) Generating port (0-2.5V, 12bit) (0.

Manual MobiSense MobiSense commands at prompt: Connect PC to ‘Console’at 19200. Stop application with key stroke. After the prompt (a: ) appears. All action at prompt level must be altered within 5 minutes, or unit will reset automatically. The following commands are available in MobiSense command mode. This list will cover most of the common instructions. mobisen –t dd-mm-yyyy hh:mm:ss Set time and date This clock is powered from an internal battery and should run for years to come.

Manual MobiSense Channel Alarm timers: ALARMTIMER Alarm threshold overdue to create alarm ALARMUPDATETIMER Measured value update frequency in seconds at alarm high or alarm low. Note *: Careful: build a new channel if you want to produce an alarm for signals above the ALARMHIGHLIMIT. Calculations: CALC Calculation on input value, at default the ADC measures -10 to +10Volt, so the value will be -10 to +10.
Manual MobiSense Low power mode ALARMUPDATETIMER=60 ALARMTIMER =10 Take each minute a sample Alarm threshold The measured value is expressed in a scale zero to 2.5 Volts as result of 0-25 mA. Ten mA does produce one Volt in the low power equation. ALARMLPLOW=0.7 ALARMLPLOWLIMIT=0.6 0.7 Volts equals 7 mA at input. Wake-up between 0.6 en 0.7 Volt ALARMLPHIGH=0.8 ALARMLPHIGHLIMIT=1.1 Wake-up between 0.8 en 1.
Manual MobiSense Configuration examples: Serial data example: [CHANNEL_2] MODE=4 PORT=16 REMOTE=213.45.46.28 <- Serial Channel <- Serial port < Address to send the data to. The extra MobiSense serial port is used to collect serial data for transportation to a remote site. The connection is made via the DB9 (v24) or the RJ 11 (RS485) connector. The serial port is switched between the two the result is: Data via the DB9 or Data via RJ11 MobiNode protocol is designed to connect via the RJ11.
Manual MobiSense Scaling: In a Lm to Mm input environment representing a Wu to Wp scale V = Wu + (Mv – Lm) x (Wp – Wu)/(Mm-Lm) Wu= wanted under value eq. scale like –10 Bar Wp=Wanted upper value eq. scale like +120 Bar Mv=measured value in the input current loop.
Manual MobiSense Standard deviation [CHANNEL_2] NAME=SGem MODE=1 PORT=3 FORMULA = STDDEV ENTRIES=100 Assume that we want to calculate standard deviation the system will take the standard deviation over 100 samples each sample takes one second. Excitation: [ALARM_1] EXCITATION=3 VOLT5=1 ALARMTIME=30 Alarm number one point to excitation unit Switch 5 volt supply on Keep this condition for 30 seconds.
Manual MobiSense Multi channel: All channels taking measurement from port 160 is sub port 2. [CHANNEL_2] NAME=Pressure MODE=1 PORT=160 SUBPORT=2 CALC=*20 ALARMLOW = 6 ALARMHIGH=12 ALARMHIGHLIMIT=20 ALARM=1 alarm is set between 12 and 20 bar. execute alarm_1 if true [CHANNEL_3] NAME=Pressure MODE=1 PORT=160 SUBPORT=2 CALC=*20 ALARMHIGH=23 ALARMHIGHLIMIT=26 ALARM=2 alarm is set between 23 and 26 bar.
Manual MobiSense Alarm via Ethernet: [CHANNEL_4] NAME=Pressure MODE=1 PORT=160 SUBPORT=2 CALC=*20 ALARMHIGH=30 UPDATETIMER=0 REMOTE=192.168.1.12 ALARMUPDATETIMER=10 alarm is set above 30 bar. send not the measured value address of receiving station. measurepoint.your site.com is also allowed send every 10 seconds the measured value If you make updatetimer=120 then measured value goes every 120 seconds to remote side. Interval is raised to 10 when alarm is active.
Manual MobiSense Correcting reading errors: You need a accurate volt/mA meter plus a voltage or current source. Build channel see previous information. Set calc =*1000 the measured value becomes visible after power on. Place the mA meter in serial with MobiSense current input and current source. Reboot the MobiSense. Make the following calculation NewV =Divide mA meter reading by MobiSense reading. This value should be your correction. Set CALC= NewV Repeat procedure above.
Manual MobiSense FTP data from CFD: This example based on WS_ftp program could be obtained from http://www.ipswitch.com. Make sure that you store you data in a directory and NOT in the root.(in this example directory name is logger). Start ws_ftp and ensure that Pc and MobiSense are using same IP segment using different addresses. The default login and password are ftp, which you may alter, in a later stage. After a successful login the screen at the bottom of this page appears.

Manual MobiSense Galvanic awareness: The MobiSense general ground is used to connect to all non-isolated devices like 4 port measure, excitation and single current in. Avoid ground loops and pay attention to the wiring when excitation is supplied form other locations. Many measurement problems are solved due to differential method. However current measurements should never share wire or ground.
Manual MobiSense External excitation: External Excitation Floating supply Sensor 4-20 mA Sensor 4-20 mA Avoid connections as indicated with a red cross out. It looks electronically correct to make these connections however currents via ground and or more currents over one wire may cause an offset in measured value.
