    Chapter Introduction What is the Push Notification Series? The push notification series was designed for customers requiring contact closure input monitoring via push notification rather than a query based method. This means your application is free to process other tasks while listening for input status change.
  • Page 6: Getting Started

     A windows based computer (XP, 7, or 8) WiFi Network Setup Step 1: Install the Wi-Fi module into the WiFi Module Configuration board (Zigmo) Step 2: Connect USB cable from Zigmo board to computer Step 3: Install NCD Base Station Software for configuration/testing purposes...
  • Page 7 Step 4: Launch NCD Base Station Software. On the Select Connection window that appears click the drop down menu under com port, select the USB Serial port which was created when the Zigmo board was connected to the computer. Make sure Baudrate is set to 115200.

    Initial Testing Step 9: (This will only work if the module was configured for UDP broadcast or if this is done on the computer specified as the server IP). For testing purposes open Base Station once more on a windows computer connected to the same network as the PN controller.
  • Page 10: Hardware Reference

    Chapter Hardware Reference Compatible Sensors (Understanding Inputs) Warning Users must NEVER apply any voltage to an input on PM series product! Inputs are for dry contact closures only! Inputs are capable of reading Contact Closure generating devices such as buttons and switches. A wire connected from the ground terminal to the input terminal would trigger in the input, as this would be considered a contact closure.

  • Page 13: Direct Query Command Set

    Direct query command set The only command required for this product is to query the status of the inputs if needed. This may need to be done after a server reboot in order to get the current status of inputs on the controller. This will be done via a TCP socket connection to the controller’s IP address on the port number configured in the Listening Port field during WiFi module setup in Base Station.
  • Page 14: Advanced Configuration

    Chapter Advanced Configuration Input Configuration Inputs on PN series controller can be configured to send notifications when the input is opened or closed, only when they are closed, or only when they are opened. This configuration is done through Base Station as follows: Step 1: Open Base Station, Select the Network Radio button on the Select Connection window.
  • Page 15: User Definable Transmitted Bytes

    User Definable Transmitted Bytes 8 bytes in the Notification packet are definable by the user. These bytes can be used in any way required by the user. Configuration of these bytes is done using Base Station as follows: Step 1: Open Base Station;...
