2.4.2 Sensor
Sensors can operate in different modes:
• Mesh – default mode, makes measurements and contributes to the sensor
mesh network.
• Leaf – makes measurements only and uses but doesn’t contribute to, the
sensor mesh network.
• Relay – contributes only to the sensor mesh network and makes no
measurements.
Mesh/leaf modes are associated with a hierarchical location as they relate to
machine monitoring. Relay nodes however are related only to the mesh infrastructure
and can only be added directly to a gateway in the Enlight Collect IMx-1 system view.
To add a relay node:
• Select a gateway in the Enlight Collect IMx-1 system view.
• Beneath the lower sensor table, click on Add relay node.
• In the dialog a descriptive Name, Gateway and Location descriptor can be
assigned.
Figure 21 Relay node dialog example
Note:
• Although the location field entry will be displayed in the app during
commissioning, when configuring a relay node, a name that hints at its
physical location or position in the mesh may still be useful.
• As well as being created, a relay node can also be deleted, by selecting it in
the Enlight Collect IMx-1 System View and pressing the Delete button below
the sensor list.
