Measurement system

In this configuration section, the basic settings for the device and the settings for the 4 inputs are made.

Configuration section "Measurement system"

Information about the device
1 Information about the Jellox Pulse currently linked to the site.

The input window for the basic settings of the device is opened by clicking on this field (see Device settings).

2 Time between transmissions
3 Time between measurement data recordings

Information about the inputs
4 Information about the first input.

The input window for configuring the input is opened by clicking on this field (see Input in "Digital" mode and Inputs in "Counter" mode).

5 Colours of the pair of wires for the input; the brown wire is the common ground.
Tip: Only applicable if the "Connection cable 7pin 8 m " (301689) or the Connection cable 7pin 0,5 m " (400442) is used.
6 Variable part of the Name for the measurement values

Several measurement values are recorded for each input. Their name is made up of the variable part and a fixed part that depends on the selected mode (e.g. "myName - contact position" and "myName - actuation state" for inputs in "Digital" mode).

7 Basic settings for the measurement channel
Off Measurement channel deactivated
Digital Digital input (Detecting the switching state of a digital contact)
Counter Infinite counter (Adding up the pulses of a water meter)

Information about an input in "digital" mode
8 Type of contact connected to the input
Tip: The following applies to both types:
  • If the contact is in idle state, the value "0" is recorded
  • If the contact was actuated, the value "1" is recorded
Opening contact The contact is closed in idle state (i.e. current is flowing). When actuated, the contact opens.
Closing contact The contact is open in the idle state (i.e. no current flows). When actuated, the contact closes.
Note: It makes little difference to the power consumption whether the contact is closed or open in the idle state, as the Jellox Pulse only applies voltage to the contact for 1 ms every second to check its switching status. The maximum current consumption per switching contact is 317 µA .

 

Information about an input in "counter" mode
9 Quantity (e.g. litres) that corresponds to a pulse of a connected meter.
10 Unit (e.g. m³) in which the meter reading is to be displayed on the server interface.
11 Opens the context menu for adapting the meter reading according to the meter connected to the input (see Set meter reading).
Tip: The meter reading can only be set when Aloha‑mode is active.
