1.6. EQ100 Input/Output and Internal Configuration
There are two types of data collecting for EQ100: communications with measurement devices
and pulse input from the general-purpose input terminal.
- Measured data can be collected from measurement devices connected through an RS-485
communications port and LAN connection port. (EQ100 internal input/output diagram, "a"
part)
- Pulses from a device connected to the general-purpose input terminal of the EQ100 can be
counted. (EQ100 internal input/output diagram, "b" part)
If an operation channel is configured, the measurement channel for operation is collected,
operated, and stored. (EQ100 internal input/output diagram, "c" part)
The data are saved in the volatile memory with battery backup.
The Web UI function enables graph view and acquisition of collected data saved in EQ100.
(EQ100 internal input/output diagram, "d" part)
EQ100 saves collected data once an hour into the internal memory. (EQ100 internal
input/output diagram, "e" part)
The collected data are saved in the internal memory for one week. Collected data older data
than one week are overwritten by newly collected data from the oldest one. If none of the
summary to EQ server, output to an SD card, and transfer to an FTP server is performed,
collected data older than one week will be lost.
When enabled, the SD card output function outputs collected data to an SD card once a day. Or,
you can output the data to an SD card any time by operating the SD card save button or Web UI
screen. (EQ100 internal input/output diagram, "f" part)
Operation of the general-purpose output terminals and transmission of a monitoring alarm
email is available when collected data meet the configured monitoring condition. (EQ100
internal input/output diagram, "g" and "h" parts)
A collected data file/event log file in the internal memory can be fetched by an FTP client (a
collected data file in the SD card, if attached, can be fetched as well). (EQ100 internal
input/output diagram, "i" part)
Enabling the FTP server transmission function allows transmission of collected data file in the
internal memory to an FTP server. (EQ100 internal input/output diagram, "j" part)
