Functional principle
In the graphic below, all of the components that are part of the myDatanet are illustrated in grey. All other components must be provided/created by the customer.
| 1 | Sensor module or output module (available separately) |
| 2 | Jellox Analog with integrated managed service SIM chip |
| 3 | Smartphone with installed smartphone app "OnSite Companion" |
| 4 | myDatanet server, to which the data is transferred |
| 5 | Client that accesses the interface of the myDatanet server via the web browser |
| 6 | Customer-specific server that provides clients with their own interface. The customer-specific server obtains the data via the API interface of the myDatanet server (see API). |
| 7 | Client, on which a PC program is running, that obtains its data via the API interface of the myDatanet server (see API) |
| 8 | Client that accesses the interface of the customer-specific server via the web browser |
As illustrated in the previous figures (see Functional principle), there are 2 options for transferring the data from the Jellox Analog to the myDatanet server:
- Directly via LTE-M/NB-IoT mobile connection
- Indirectly, by reading the data from the device via local radio connection using the "OnSite Companion" smartphone app that then uses the smartphone's Internet connection to transfer the data to the myDatanet server.
Functions and components provided by myDatanet :
- Jellox Analog
It is a system approved for Ex zone 1 used to determine a mA signal as well as measurement values that are provided by remote sensor modules. Communication between the sensor modules and theJellox Analog is realised via local radio connection. To connect a sensor with mA ouptut, a sensor connector is available directly on the Jellox Analog . The saved data can either be sent directly to a central server via the mobile network (LTE-M/NB-IoT) for further processing or it can be read out via local radio connection a smartphone, using the smartphone's internet connection to forward the data to a central server.
- Sensor module or output module (available separately)
A list of compatible sensor modules is provided in chapter Sensor modules.
- "OnSite
Companion" smartphone app (optional)
In combination with a compatible smartphone, the "OnSite Companion" smartphone app not only enables commissioning the device, but it also offers the possibility to read out the data from the Jellox Analog via local radio connection and forward it to a central myDatanet server.
- Managed Service
Managed Service is the basis for operating the devices and provides a wide range of services. Managed Service includes updates for device firmware, mobile data transmission on a global scale and free support - providing you with one contact person for the entire solution.
- myDatanet server
Database for saving the measurement data and configurations. Data is either accessed via the API (see API) or the web interface of the server.
Functions and components provided by the customer:
- Sensor with mA output
Sensor with an interface that is compatible with the specifications listed in chapter "Technical details about the universal input" (see Technical details about the universal input). If the device is operated in areas with zone 1 explosive atmosphere, only sensors that are also approved for zone 1 and of which the Ex parameters are compatible with those of the Jellox Analog may be used.
- Customer-specific server with web interface for the clients (optional)
It is therefore possible to create an individual web interface for the clients. Using this method, the data is read out of the myDatanet server via the API interface (see API) by the customer specific server.
