INTRODUCTION

1. PRESENTATION

ISOFT application is a client software for communication among iLOGS family loggers
and a computer with the purpose of managing, handle and monitoring data.

iSOFT integrates GSM/GPRS binary modbus protocol for data transferring among
loggers and remote PC software. Through ISOFT the user can have full control of the
existing loggers in one installation by monitoring their status and managing history logs
transferring towards the computer workstations.

The application has been developed for 32 and 64-bit architectures and Windows
operating system. The user-machine interface is carried out both through the keyboard
and mouse.

Application features:

Clarity when monitoring the status and configuration of the elements that
compose the installation.
Reliability in the usage and treatment of a great amount of information based on
the installation historical data.
Quick configuration of all features that compose the communication.
Use of powerful tools for the management of the components that take part in a
communication.
Ease of use of different elements that compose the application.

Finally, highlight that the GSM modem Works using a SIM card the user must acquire
and insert it in its emplacement similarly to the way it is done in a mobile phone.

On the other hand, gor GPRS communications it will be essential have internet
connection into PC, with static an public IP. If not, it will be required redirecting
modem input communications to enabled IP/ Port form iSOFT communications.

Our technical department welcomes any suggestion for improvement

transmitted with the aim of product innovation, adapting it to the evolution
operating needs.

Communications Chanels. In this window exists Centralita socket box
to set up.

o iLOGS communication port is defined in admnistrative data tab inside

Communication type window section. The link toward centralita is enabled
when iLOGS has its communication window open.

Advanced configuration associated with centralita parameters.

o Keep Alive Frecuency: When a iLOGS links with Centralita feature, it

sends a message regularly. This allow to know iLOGS state and support
communication. Default frecuency is 10 seconds.

o Lost Max Keep Alive: It points max. number of service messages it should
lose before to consider iLOGS has stopped communications.

o Timeout: Each sent messages from Centralita to iLOGS requires a

verification. This field point waited time before consider lost answer.

Note: It is important point that Timeout should be lower Than Keep Alive
Frecuency. When it send service message, we should wait a response before
start a new service message. If not, two messages collides.

o Enable Log: Switch on or switch off hard disk debugging store.

Once connection parameters are saved, use start button on upper area to leave the
system in connection mode.

On the rigth we can watch iLOGS and iCONFIG which require centralita connection.
Once the connection toward iLOGS from iCONFIG has been completed, a register is
created into Links panel.

Events panel shows completed actions towards centralita.

Although window is closed, Centralita feature is kept in the last state before close.

If the Centralita is kept on enable state it shows a button on the main window.

5.10. File system and DB internal structure

5.10.1 Historical txt system structure

Decoded historical data file has a name

Path \ IdDL-dd_mm_yy-hh_mm_ss.txt.

Path refers to Log file configured box into application configuration section.

iSOFT works with decoded plain files after receiving information. System accessible
two format definitions are:

Register by variable format Each line has information about one variable.
The line fields information are:

Time-Stamp en el formato YYYY/MM/DD, HH:MM:SS

Calling iLOGS CRC configuration.

Variable ID

Variable name

Variable value. (Decimal separator would be configured with

SEPDEC_LINEAPORVARIABLE field inside CCX_CRD
configuration file).

Coma is a Separator character between each element.

2016/04/04 04:00:20,9414,151,CAUDAL1 -F ,4.694542

Column by variable format Each line has an information about all register
variables.

The first line has name and units of all variables.

Next lines have information about all variables defined in Register task
inside iLOGS configuration.

5.10.2 DB system structure

After the information has been decoded within defined directory using plain txt files, DB
system information management starts. The system will work with different DB system
structures:

Access 2003 y Access 2007-2010

The structure is similar in both of them. It differs only in the directory where the
information is saved.

System DB

It is created one DB for each type of saved information. DB inside information is

divided into tablas which are referred to existing links or register iLogs.

Directories:

Access 2003 Sistema Folder

Access 2007 Sistema2007 Folder

Historical data DB

The information is divided in directory structure just like that:

Path\H_Year\H_MonthYear\Data_directory

Within the directory BD_H_Datos.mdb or BD_H_Datos.accdb is created.

In each one created DB, it will be set up a table for each register iLogs into the
system.

Microsoft SQLServer y MySQL

Both of them DB system have similar structure. It is defined a DB server to register

information.

System DBs

Once server is defined, within the server is created system DB by saving type of
information. Inside, the information is divided in tables which are referred to the
links and iLOGS.

Historical DB

Each one historical data type are divided into DB where the DB name define the
month and year of the saved historical type

i.e. the format for historical DB name will be: HD_MontYear.

Inside each DB is defined a table with registered iLOGS name inside the system
where year / month linked data are saved.

Microsoft SQLServer (Reduced)

This option reduce SQLServer manage system structure loading more information into
each database.

System DB

It is created one DB with name config_iSOFT where group all tables linked with
the system. Each table is referred to an information type in addition it include one
column to place link ID or iLOGS ID

Historical DB

Administrator user define rhe name where save all received historical data from
iLOGS. Once defined DB, it is created a table for each registered iLOGS into the
system with this format:

HD_NameiLogs

Inside it is stored all received historical registers from iLogs into the table.

Table structure

All DB system internal structure management is the same. Existing columns in each
table are:

Fecha Datalogger CRC Conex Nombre Valor

In addition, are added some columns referred with variable factorization:

NombreF ValorF UnidadF
