  • Page 4: Overview

    RMS-Converter Instruction Manual E-M-RMS-Converter-V1_4.docx Scope: This manual is valid for the RMS-Converter Firmware Version V1.3. The small digit represents small changes, bug fixes etc. that do not influence main functions of the device. Overview 1.1 RMS System Overview The Rotronic Monitoring System RMS is a network of various devices and RMS server software. The software represents the core piece of the whole RMS.

    2.5 MS SQL database 2.5.1 Data logging The values of every measurement are saved in the memory with the time stamp. The RMS-CONVERTER logs data within the onboard MS SQL database. In case of a communication interruption between the RMS server software and the RMS-CONVERTER, the data will be stored for a maximum of 7 days.

  • Page 7: Rtc (Real Time Clock)

    2.6 RTC (Real Time Clock) The RMS-CONVERTER can only log with the correct time stamp synchronized to UTC. In case of a power interruption on the RMS-CONVERTER, during the restart, it will first synchronize its time with the RMS server UTC.

  • Page 8: Measurement Interval

    RMS. Note: If an interval change is required, the RMS-CONVERTER and all devices added via the RMS- CONVERTER should be deleted and added again. When the RMS-CONVERTER is deleted from RMS, all of the measurement and device data are also deleted.
  • Page 9 IP configuration whenever possible. ► RMS Web Server settings The RMS-CONVERTER has the server address and software path of the RMS server software stored in it in order to build up communication with the RMS server software.

    6.1.2 RMS and HW4 IMPORTANT: Rotronic recommends NOT to run HW4 and RMS in parallel (where devices are connected to both HW4 and RMS). Running both systems at the same time will result in timeouts, data gaps and other errors due to communication failure. As soon as HW4 is launched on a PC, it will automatically start the integrated search function for all devices that are on the network.

  • Page 26 If the port is blocked then the device will renew/unblock the port by itself after the chosen timeout. This way a permanent timeout of the device will be avoided. The loss of data will be reduced significantly. For an RMS-CONVERTER interval of 60 seconds, a timeout of 10 to 30 seconds would be meaningful.
