Only Applicable Model No.: WT420M

This functionality allows you to define and execute conditional logic based on the input data collected from various sources. It reads value from the defined input parameter, applies certain conditions, and then triggers actions through digital outputs or modbus write. Here’s how this process generally works:

Trigger Input

Possible Inputs

  1. Onboard I/O Ports
    • Analog Inputs (2 No.s of 0-10V, 1 No.s of 4-20ma)
    • Digital Input: Both the voltage analog inputs also function as a digital Input
  2. Modbus Registers

Note: No. of inputs in one condition can only be 1, you cannot apply aggregations locally such as input 1 + Input 2 and use it as an Input.

Condition Evaluations

Trigger Input = Reg

Reg = V1
Reg!= V1
Reg > V1
Reg < V1
(Reg > V1) and (Reg < V2)
(Reg < V1) and (Reg > V2)

Trigger Output

Possible Outputs

  1. Onboard Digital Output
  2. Output SMS
  3. Modbus Write (Fix Command)

Note: Only 1 output can be set per trigger, if wish to configure multiple output thats possible via duplicating the trigger input and condition and setting required output.

 

Here is a sample test case we tested to showcase how this functionality works.

Conditions Set

For testing, we utilised Input value on Logger IO Port AI-1 ( Analog Port-1)

When Logger IO Port AI-1 is > 11 , Switch on Relay
When Logger IO Port AI-1 is < 11, Switch off Relay

and output on the Digital Output port (relay) of the logger.

Some Frequently Asked Questions
What are the logger brand and model in which this functionality available ?

At the moment this functionality is only available in TrackSo WT420M and not feasible for implementation on other model no.s

Is there license required to use this functionality ?

Currently this functioanlity is available free of cost and you only require to pay configurational charges everytime you want triggers to be confirgured or updated.

Can i reconfigure triggers any number of time ?

Yes you can opt for chargeable reconfiguration service as many as time required.

Can i set muliple trigger rules in single logger ?

Yes you can set multiple trigger rules in single logger. Same was utilised for above example.

Will the trigger rules keep functioning even when no internet is available ?

Yes trigger rules will keep functioning, they are not dependent on internet connectivity

Can the trigger rules keep functioning even with no input power ?

No, once the logger is powered off it neither can read any input values neither execute the trigger as per the set conditions.

What is a 5V Relay Module?

The 5 volt relay module is a type of relay module that requires a 5V DC input to operate.The relay contains the coil that creates the magnetic field, the armature that move to complete or disconnect a circuit, and contacts that open and close to operate the load switch.

5V Relay Module Specifications

The 5V relay module specifications are normally written on the top side. These include the input voltage/current, load current/voltage, and operating or release times. In general, the specifications look like this:

  • Normal voltage: 5V DC
  • Normal current: 70mA
  • Maximum load current: 10A/250V AC, 10A/30V DC
  • Maximum switch voltage: 250V AC, 30V DC
  • Operate time: ≤ 10ms
  • Release time: ≤ 5ms
