Tunnel – Monitoring of 1 IEC870-5-102 meter via RS232 in real time (every 5 minutes) with data sent to the HTTP platform.
¿Buscas alguna otra cosa?
Scenario details:
- An energy efficiency company needs to monitor in real time (every 15 minutes) the data of Active Absolute Energy (VabA), Inductive Reactive Absolute Energy (VabRi), Capacitive Reactive Absolute Energy (VabRc) of 1 meter with IEC 870-5-102 protocol with RS232 port and send the data to an HTTP platform
- The meter is in a location where coverage is not very good and connectivity is sometimes lost, so the modem must store the readings in its internal memory to send them when coverage returns. The modem must support 4G/3G/2G technologies
Solution: MTX-Tunnel firmware + MTX-T

Details:
- The data is sent to the HTTP server using a JSON object, which has the following example format:
{“IMEI”:”353085090011697”,”TYPE”:”IEC102”,”TS”:”2020-05-15T18:00:05Z”,”P”:”ID-12345678”,”ID”:”ID001”,”VABA”:61245,”VINA”:614,”VABRI”:512}Where:
– IMEI: IMEI of the modem (unique identifier of the MTX modem)
– TYPE: Indicates the type of frame. In this case IEC102
– TS: Timestamp of when the data was read
– P: User field
– ID: User identifier indicated in IEC102_meter1
– VBAB: Active absolute energy (VabA)
– VINA: Absolute Reactive Inductive Energy (VabRi)
– VABRI: Absolute Reactive Capacitive Energy (VabRc) - Remember that the configuration data of the RS232 serial port of the modem must match the configuration of the RS232 port of the meter.
- If you need to monitor other meter parameters in addition to VabA, VabRi, VabRc, check the possibility at iotsupport@mtxm2m.com.
- The IEC102_ configuration parameters are only available in the “MTX-Tunnel IEC870”, it is a product that is supplied separately.
