Converter Operation In The Independent Poll Mode Of The Metering Devices; Converter Operation In The Universal Poll Mode - Vega Absolute M-BUS-2 User Manual

CONVERTER OPERATION IN THE INDEPENDENT POLL MODE OF THE METERING
DEVICES
In the independent poll mode, the converter periodically and consistently polls the
metering devices at their secondary addresses. The addresses of the polling devices are writting
to the converter using the "Vega LoRaWAN Configurator" application.
In case of a successful poll, the data transferred by the metering device is accumulated
in the configurator memory and sent to the LoRaWAN
communication period. The communication period can be set in the "Vega LoRaWAN
Configurator" application while converter connected to a computer.

CONVERTER OPERATION IN THE UNIVERSAL POLL MODE

To reduce the volume of data transmitted over the air, the user can use the universal
polling mode. In this mode, the converter independently interrogates metering devices with
user-specified commands in accordance with a customizable schedule. This reduces radio
traffic and significantly increases the polling rate of the meter.
In the universal polling mode through configurator the user can set transmitted
commands, progression of their transfer, intervals of transfer, timeout of waiting answer.
Metering device's answer is packaged in "black box" and in accordance with period of data
transfer. The user can ban to pack of metering device's answer, if, e.g., the answer on some
command is need not to transfer.
By default, the universal polling mode is disabled, you can activate it using the Vega
LoRaWAN Configurator program on the device tab
Configurator»).
Activation of the universal poll mode leads to the blocking of independent
polling of supported metering devices
1 The described functionality is supported in the Configurator version 1.0.55 and higher.
