  • Page 14 8. Definition of the HTTP protocol RN171 defines and uses the RADIONODE HTTP. It sends HTTP GET requests to the server at regular intervals. When a request has been made, the data needed as the parameters are sent together. Rather than using the PULL method, where the server reads in the data, we are using the Push method, where the data is pushed up to the server, which web developers are more familiar with.
  • Page 15 9. MODBUS TCP Protocol Definition It is possible to read the currently measured data from RN171 through MODBUS TCP communication. The data is updated to “HOLDING REGISTER” in real time. The 4 BYTE FLOATING POINT and 2 BYTE UNSIGNED INT formats are supported. Reading is possible. In the case of 2 BYTE UNSIGNED INT, the decimal digits are ignored, and only the integers are delivered.
