  • Page 9: Digital Input

    4.2.2 DIGITAL INPUT The DigiRail OEE has digital input channels that can be configured in “Counting” or “Event” modes. Regardless of the selected function, you must configure the type of sensor connected to the input: PNP, NPN or Dry Contact. After that, select the edge of the digital signal to generate the count or event: Rising edge, falling edge or both edges.
  • Page 10: Digital Output

    The connection to the digital outputs is made at the corresponding terminals, as shown in the figure below: Digital outputs LED INDICATORS The DigiRail OEE has three LEDs, located on the front of the device, as shown in the figure below: LED indicators The operation and description of each LED are as follows:...
  • Page 11: Communication Interfaces

    USB INTERFACE The DigiRail OEE has a USB port, located on the side of the housing, to configure and perform the device diagnostic. You must use a USB cable in the standard micro-USB (not supplied) to connect the device with a desktop or notebook.
  • Page 12: Ethernet Interface

    ETHERNET INTERFACE The DigiRail OEE - ETH has an Ethernet interface, located next to the device terminals, as shown in the figure below: Ethernet interface If the Ethernet interface is enabled and the device is connected to an Ethernet network, the LED , located on the front of the device, will remain lit.
  • Page 13: Mqtt Protocol

    MQTT PROTOCOL The DigiRail OEE is compatible with Message Queue Telemetry Transport (MQTT) protocol, which allows publishing data in the cloud, and supports the following MQTT Brokers: Google Cloud, Microsoft Azure, AWS, NOVUS Cloud and generic MQTT Brokers. This chapter describes the structure of the data published in the cloud and introduces the structure to send settings to the device.
  • Page 14: Events

    This step is called “response”. For details on sending configurations via MQTT to DigiRail OEE, you should refer to the MQTT Protocol document available on the product page on the NOVUS website.

  • Page 17: Gateway Mqtt Rs485

    RS485 serial interface. To send commands remotely, it is necessary to connect another MQTT client to the Broker to which the DigiRail OEE is connected and, in the sequence, register in the topic configured for command confirmation. The command must then be published in the topic configured in DigiRail OEE to receive commands.
  • Page 18: Modbus-Tcp Protocol

    MODBUS-TCP PROTOCOL The DigiRail OEE is compatible with Modbus-TCP protocol, the data communication protocol used to connect the device to supervisory control and data acquisition systems (SCADA). It supports up to 3 simultaneous connections, allowing up to 3 Modbus-TCP masters to monitor it at the same time.
