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.

Functional principle

1 Lizzox Pure Flood with integrated managed service SIM chip
2 Smartphone with installed smartphone app "OnSite Companion"
3 myDatanet server to which the data is transferred
4 Client that accesses the interface of the myDatanet server via the web browser
5 Customer-specific server that provides clients with their own interface. The customer-specific server obtains the data via the API of the myDatanet servers (see API).
6 Client, on which a PC program is running, that obtains its data via the API of the myDatanet servers (see API)
7 Client that accesses the interface of the customer-specific server via the web browser

As shown in the illustration above (see Functional principle), there are two options for transferring the data from the Lizzox Pure Flood to the myDatanet server:

  • Directly via (2G/M1/NB1) mobile connection
  • Indirectly by using the "OnSite Companion" smartphone app, that reads out the data via local radio connection and uses the Internet connection of the smartphone to forward it to the myDatanet server

 

Functions and components provided by myDatanet :

  • Lizzox Pure Flood

    It is a stationary, autonomous device designed for outdoor use. It is used to determine, process and transmit water levels. To connect sensors, it has 2 analogue inputs and a Modbus-Client interface (RS485). The stored data can either be sent directly to a central server via the mobile network (2G/M1/NB1) for further processing or it can be read out via local radio connection with a smartphone, using the smartphone's internet connection to forward the data to a central server.

  • "OnSite Companion" smartphone app (opitonal)

    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 Lizzox Pure Flood 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:

  • Sensors with mA output or Modbus interface (RS485)

    Level sensors or atmospheric pressure sensors with an interface that is compatible with the specifications listed in chapter "Technical details about the universal inputs" (see Technical details about the universal inputs) or in chapter "Technical details about the RS485 interface" (see Technical details about the RS485 interface).

  • 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.
