Revision C
After a start-up the gateway will wait for the configured time period before requesting
the ‘first’ sensor measurements. If changes are made to the schedule and these
changes are synchronised, any ongoing measurement cycle for the machine will
complete and then the new schedule will be implemented. This process will take
account of when the last measurement cycle ran so, after a synchronisation, the wait
for ‘first’ data will usually be less than the scheduled period.
In addition, whenever a sensor receives a new configuration, for example and
including its initial configuration during commissioning, the gateway will then request
that the sensor make a set of overall measurements, without waiting for the
configured time period. This ensures a timelier receipt of data during commissioning
rather than having to wait for the scheduled time to elapse.
When the gateway first detects an alarm state change from a sensor on the machine,
that will trigger requests for representative TWF data from all sensors on that
machine.
If configured schedules cannot be met, all sensors will still be measured, but at the
best achievable rate and with some slippage from the configured schedule.
Sensors that cannot be reached are assumed to be now, in a normal, non-alarm
state.
1.3.5 Local data storage
The gateway will buffer measurement/event data until it is able to be transferred to
the host system/software. Initially this buffering is in volatile RAM but if the data has
not been transferred in 5 minutes then that data is transferred to non-volatile
memory. This prevents significant data loss if the gateway loses power. The design
aims to safeguard at least a week of data in this way.
1.4 SKF Enlight Collect Manager – Android app
The SKF Enlight Collect Manager app is available for Android devices and is used to
perform on-site system maintenance, commissioning, etc. The Android device being
used must support:
• NFC – Near Field Communications
• Android version 7 or later
• Bluetooth Low Energy version 4.2 or later
Note that as NFC and Bluetooth also rely on device hardware an update of the
Android operating system is, in-itself, likely insufficient.
A user logging into the app must use User name and Password credentials
appropriate to the @ptitude Observer database for the particular plant or area being
commissioned. As this requires the app to be pre-configured with the MQTT service
