    - table for fixed and floating holidays
    - table for sun rise / sun set times

  • support of Modbus/RTU, Modbus/ASCII and Modbus/TCP (model depending)
    - Server mode, eg. for sending voice messages directly out of a PLC

    - publishing of changed M-Bus counter values per MQTT to a MQTT broker (M-Bus / MQTT converter)
  • connection of meter with S0 pulse interface
  • fast placing into operation without programming knowledge
  • programming software in two versions included in deliyery:
    - QuickSetup for a rapid first-time operation,
    - CONNY for extended programming issues
  • optional: connectivity to industrial automation systems via OPC server
  • optional: connectivity to emergency centrals with VdS2465 protocol
  • Made in Germany - developed and produced in Germany

Operation of fault report and alerting devices

The working method of all eviateg event and fault reporting devices are very simple: there are a few of triggering events and a few of possible actions, which can be executed on occurrence of the events.

The actions to be executed are associated with the triggering events. For each event multiple actions can be programmed, which are executed after each other.
Actions can be executed conditional (eg Last alerting was successful) or unconditional.

The following events can be evaluated:

  • switching on the device
  • state changes on inputs
  • exceeding or falling below specified temperatures (on devices with temperature sensor inputs)
  • the absence of state changes on inputs (watchdog function)
  • reaching counter minimum or maximum values
  • expiration of timers or counters
  • caller events including identification of calling and called number
  • ISDN events, eg activation or deactivation of layer 1, B channels etc.

The following actions can be executed:

  • switching of outputs (static, cyclic, timer controlled)
  • transmission of SMS and pager messages
  • transmission of group alerts
  • transmission of voice alerts to telephones or mobile phones
  • transmission of Push messages
  • transmission of Threema messages
  • publishing of MQTT topics as status and/or alarm messages
  • transmission of text messages to ISDN PCs
  • transmission of DTMF tone sequences to telephones or mobile phones
  • counting of 32 bit counters (including frequency counters)
  • starting / stopping of opeerating time counters
  • output of text messages on the serial interface
  • termination of other ISDN connections on the ISDN S0 bus (blockade break)
  • starting and stopping of timers
  • modification of I/O parameters (eg arming / disarming of inputs)
  • controlling of distant eviateg devices with remote commands (eg switching outputs on the distant device)

When sending SMS, pager, Push, Threema and text messages, user programmable text blocks are used. They can contain macros, which can be expanded to actual texts, eg date and time of the event, the number of a caller, the name of an input or its state etc.

Devices with the Fixed net SMS feature can receive and interprete SMS messages even on an ISDN access. The SMS can contain commands, so states and parameters on that device can be interrogated or controlled (protected by number identification and password).

Using the group alert feature, a message can be sent to one or multiple groups with up to 256 members. The membership in groups can be programmed easily. The recipients can be registered in different mobile networks and can be informed with SMS and pager messages.

Speech messages can be recorded with standard tools on a PC as WAV files. With the configuration tool CONNY they are converted into the desired format and are loaded into the device. Multiple speech messages can be sent in succession and can be repeated as desired.
Optional the called user can acknowledge the voice alert with a DTMF password.

Devices with MQTT client can publish MQTT topics as status and/or alarm message.
Also MQTT messages can be triggered by any event (eg. incoming call, timer expiration etc.).
The outputs of these devices can be switched by MQTT message.
Besides that all parameters of these devices (eg. destination numbers) can be changed by commands per MQTT message.
Devices with M-Bus master functionality (IT180/IT181) can publish changed M-Bus counter values automatically on a MQTT broker.

Devices with the feature VdS2465 protocol can transmit VdS telegrams to an assigned central. The VdS messages can be triggered by any event (not only by input state changes).
Outputs of the devices can optionally be controlled by VdS centrals with corresponding VdS telegrams.
Devices with temperature sensor inputs and VdS protocol can report the measured temperature to the central (record type 30H) and can signal alarms when exceeding or falling below adjustable tempreature thresholds.

Devices with built-in GSM modem support the use of Prepaid cards by corresponding events and actions. If the prepaid card credit falls below an adjustable minimum, eg. eMails can be sent or the credit can be recharged automatically.

The CM105 scans a data stream to a printer for free definable text patterns. If a pattern is found, the assigned actions are executed.

All eviateg devices can be programmed and maintaned either locally over the serial interface or remotely over the supported communication networks (ISDN and GSM).
