Connecting the sensors
1-Wire / 1-Wire UNI (RJ11)
Connect the sensor before powering up the Poseidon – the
connector must click in.
Maximum total distance on each active port is 60m.  Sensors can be daisy-chained.  Sensors can be also connected using a star topology with the T-
Box (TBox2) hub.
If you change the sensor topology, the sensors must be auto-detected again. (Web
interface > Flash Setup > Sensor Setup > Autodetect Sensors)

Industrial Bus sensors (RS-485)
Industrial bus for connecting sensors over long distances
Connect the sensors before powering up the unit. Sensors can be daisy-chained, or connected to a virtual star using
the “S-Hub” unit.
Terminate the RS485 line with a 120 Ω to 470 Ω terminator. Some
sensors contain a built-in terminator, controlled with a jumper or a DIP switch. See the sensor manual.
Check or set the sensor address. Each sensor on the RS-485 bus must have a unique
address. The address (ID) is expressed as a letter (A..Z / a..z) or a number (65..122). The
numbers correspond to the ASCII codes of the letters, A=65, Z=90, a=97, z=122. For details about address configuration, see the sensor manual.
If you change installed sensors, the sensors must be auto-detected again.
(Web interface > Flash Setup > Sensor Setup > Autodetect Sensors)
Sensors are shipped with non-conflicting addresses whenever possible. The preconfigured address is always written on the label.
Note: A particular sensor is identified by its RS-485 address. Sensors with the same
address can be swapped without the need for a new detection.

Common features of the Poseidon product line
Displayed readings
The Poseidon unit displays current readings from all connected sensors. Dry contact inputs are scanned approximately every 200ms. Values from all sensors on both buses (RS-485 and 1W bus) are read in a single loop that
repeats once per second; however, the actual time needed to read the sensors may vary from 1 to 30 seconds.
All values are in the “integer/10” format, range is ±999.9. A value of 999.9 is out of range for all supported sensors and indicates that the sensor was
not found.
If you have disconnected or replaced a sensor, run sensor autodetection, or remove
the sensor from the list.
When the Poseidon unit is overloaded with network requests (as is sometimes the
case, for example, with our public online demo), -999.9 can sometimes appear even though the sensor works properly. This is due to limited computing performance of the unit. Try to reduce the number of concurrent network requests.
Units are assigned to values automatically according to the detected sensor type. Supported
units include:
Temperature: °C, °K, °F
(please note that Safe Range thresholds can be set in °C only)
Humidity: %RH Voltage: V, current: A or mA Other units: %, ...
Input / sensor in alarm state
Alarm state can be set independently for every input (contact) / sensor. For a sensor, “Alarm” occurs whenever the reading is outside of the specified Safe Range,
as long as alarm alerting is enabled for at least one notification method (SNMP / Email & SMS).
Response to a sensor being disconnected
-999.9 is displayed The value evaluates as an “Alarm” (reading out of the specified Safe Range). If alarm
alerting is enabled for the given sensor, e-mail or SNMP trap is sent.
• For more information about data formats, identification of variables, and the SDK, see the detailed Poseidon family manual.

Calibration
Each sensor can be calibrated by specifying a linear offset. The calibration value can be
written over XML. To set the calibration, use the Calibrator utility (download section on the Poseidon 2250 page) or EX104 in the HWg-SDK (a menu invoked by a right-click).
Calibration value = +3 → sensor measures 0.5°C → Poseidon shows +3.5°C Calibration value = -3 → sensor measures 0.5°C → Poseidon shows -2.5°C Calibration value = -10 → sensor measures 27% RH → Poseidon shows 17% RH
Poseidon family - Manual
HW group
www.HW-group.com
Sensor hysteresis
The Hysteresis setting defines a tolerance band for alarm alerts. This feature prevents multiple alarm alerts if the reading oscillates around the specified threshold. See the graph for an explanation.
Without a hysteresis of 5°C, the alarm raised at point 8 would end at point 9. With the hysteresis function, the alarm continues until the temperature rises above the tolerance band (point 10), that is, 5°C + (-15°C) = -10°C.
Hysteresis = 5°C: The unit sends 3 e-mails (SMS)
Alarm at points 0..4, 8..10, 12 and beyond
No hysteresis (0°C): The unit sends 8 e-mails (SMS)
Alarm at points 0..1, 2..3, 8..9, 12..13, 14 and beyond

Supported interfaces
Individual Poseidon models support several hardware interfaces for connecting the sensors. A brief description follows. For more details, see the technical specifications of the interfaces.
Binary inputs (Dry Contact inputs)
Digital inputs for connecting two-state sensors. Dry Contact means a direct connection of a volt-free contact. The input signals one of two states – “On”/“Off” (or “Open”/“Closed”), which can be further interpreted by Poseidon as “Normal”/“Alarm”.
Outputs and relays
Poseidon supports digital outputs. These can either be controlled over the WWW interface (or SNMP, Modbus/TCP, XML), or used to indicate an alarm.
There are two types of outputs:
- Double-throw relay contact (Poseidon 3268)
- Voltage output to control an external relay (Poseidon 2250)
Sensors can be connected over two bus types:
1-Wire bus
Digital RJ11 bus, designed to connect several sensors over short wiring. The bus carries power and a single data wire. The bus is not suitable for environments with EMC interference.
Sensors have factory-assigned unique addresses which are detected automatically as the sensor IDs.
Industrial bus (RS-485 supports up to 31 sensors, up to 1000m)
For convenience and ease of use, TP cables and RJ45 modular jacks are used to wire the RS485 industrial bus.
The RS-485 bus uses the blue pair of wires (pins 4 and 5), labeled A and B. The brown pair (pins 7, 8) carries 12V to power the sensors.
If you use the S-Hub unit and the B-Cable module, the green pair of wires (pins 3, 6) is used for the return RS-485 connection. This wire pair is not connected at the Poseidon 2250 unit.
Sensor addresses are set by the configuration protocol or by jumpers, and are detected as sensor IDs ranging from 48 to 127.

Detailed interface description
Power connector
The usual DC plug – 2,5mm coaxial barrel connector – is used to connect the power. Negative terminal is connected to the outer body of the plug.
Ethernet
Ethernet network connects via the standard RJ45 jack next to the power connector. Use a Twisted Pair (TP) patch cable to connect to a switch, or a cross-over cable to connect directly to a PC.
The device has a 10 Mbps Ethernet interface => it only works in 10 Mbps or 10/100 Mbps networks.
Note: The device cannot be directly connected to a 100 Mbps-only network. If you need to
connect it to a 100 Mbps (or faster) network, use a 10/100 Mbps Ethernet switch.
MAC address
MAC address is a unique number identifying the device. It is printed on the label at the bottom side of the unit. It consists of six hexadecimal number pairs, the first three pairs are always 00:0A:59.
With the MAC address, you can distinguish individual devices in the UDP setup utility when assigning IP addresses.
Configuration with DIP switches
DIP switches control the following functions. If you change the settings, it is recommended to reset the device by disconnecting and reconnecting the power.
Factory default configuration is: DIP1=Off, DIP2=Off, DIP3=Off, DIP4=Off.

DB9M - RS-232
The interface is intended for setting up the device (RS-232 Setup when DIP1=ON) and for updating the firmware.
The DTR and RTS outputs can be controlled from the Flash setup interface, tied to an alarm state, or controlled over the network.
Voltages corresponding to logic levels on these outputs:
RTS
0 (Off) = -10V (-12..-6V) 1 (On) = +10V (6..12V)
DTR
0 (Off) = 0V 1 (On) = +10V (6..12V)
States of outputs after device restart: RTS = Off (-10V), DTR = Off (0V).
Using the RTS and DTR outputs
Port 3 complies with the RS-232 specification. If needed, the P1250 RC converter (designed for connecting two 12VDC rated relays to Poseidon 2250 over RS-232) can be used to connect two external relays. The converter applies approximately 10V to the relay coil, making it possible to control 9VDC or 12VDC rated relays.
P1250 RC (Relay Cable) - Ordering No. 600 244
Relay coils connect directly to a small terminal block. Polarity is shown on the label, closed state is indicated by a LED lighting up.

RJ11 – 1-Wire or 1W sensors
The digital bus from Dallas Semiconductor company, each sensor has unique ID.
We recommend to keep the total wiring length under 60m, although functionality has been achieved over tens to hundreds of meters in experimental settings.
If the wiring connected to a single connector of the Poseidon unit is longer than approximately 80m, we cannot guarantee error-free operation, as it greatly depends on the actual wiring implementation, topology and environment.
Active / Passive 1W port
Active port is RJ11 connector on the Poseidon device. It guarantees full length of wiring and power
for defined quantity of 1-Wire or 1-Wire UNI sensors. When you move the sensor from one active port to other one, the sensors seems to be disconnected. You have to run sensors auto-detection again.
Passive port is RJ11 connector on T-Hub splitter or on the 1-Wire sensor in daisy-chain wiring. It can’t guarantee full length and full power for all following sensors. The power issue can be solved with using the 1-Wire hub Power.
1-Wire UNI (RJ11)
1-Wire UNI is software extension of the 1-Wire bus.
1-Wire UNI sensors:
o Light sensor o 4-20mA sensor o 0-60V (-48V DC) sensor o 0-30A AC sensor o >>Various other sensors
Maximum wiring length : 60 meters of total length per active RJ11 port
Note: Distance can be limited with some 1-Wire UNI sensors or with more RJ11 male-female connectors.
Sensor power supply: 5V/20 mA from RJ11 connector
(can be boosted by "1-Wire hub Power")
Other parameters or 1-Wire UNI are identical with 1-Wire bus.

RJ45 – Industrial Bus (RS-485)
The RS-485 bus can be used to connect up to 31 sensors over up to 1000m, even in industrial environments. For convenience and ease of use, TP cables and RJ45 modular jacks are used to wire the RS485 industrial bus.
The RS-485 bus uses the blue pair of wires (pins 4 and 5), labeled A and B. The brown pair (pins 7, 8) is used to supply 12V to power the sensors.
If you use the S-Hub unit and the B-Cable module, the green pair of wires (pins 3, 6) is used for the return RS-485 connection. The green pair of wires is not connected at the Poseidon 2250 unit.
Maximum wiring length: Up to 1000m in total Supported sensors: Temperature, humidity, current, voltage, and more (see the overview
of available sensors)
Number of sensors on the RS-485 bus: Up to 31 physical
sensors
Power: 12V/120 mA available at the RJ45 jack. Power supplied by
the bus is sufficient for up to 3 external sensors, an S-Hub can be added to power more sensors
Communication cable: UTP, in some cases 4-wire phone cable Alarm settings: Checking the reading against its Safe Range,
configuration in Poseidon Flash setup
Polling period: 800 ms to 10 s (depending on the number of sensors, 10 seconds for 41
sensors)
Sensor address assignment: Manual, each sensor must have a unique address (see
sensor manual)
Range of sensor IDs: Sensors use IDs from 48 to 122, the address corresponds to the
ASCII code of 0..9, A..Z, a..z characters.
Disconnected sensor detection: Yes, disconnected sensors read as “-999.9” Alarm if sensor is disconnected: If the sensor is set to alarm whenever its reading is
outside of the safe range, disconnection triggers the alarm
General RS-485 characteristics

Termination
The RS-485 bus must be terminated at its end. The following options are available:
Internal jumper on certain sensors (jumper named TERM or TERMINATOR) – for example
in Temp-485 or HTemp-485
B-Cable adapter with “LAST” configuration selected using the switches External resistor to terminate the bus at the “last” sensor, if the sensor has no jumpers or
DIP switches (Temp-485-Pt100). Connect the resistor between the A and B terminals of the last sensor. The resistance of this resistor should be 120Ω. For short wirings, 470Ω can be u sed to reduce the current consumption of the sensors.
Note: A disadvantage is that it is necessary to have a wiring topology with a single
beginning and a single, terminated end, as opposed to the popular star topology with
a single interconnection point.
Special accessories for the RS-485 bus
B-Cable - RJ45 / 4-wire connection
The B-Cable module is an adapter that converts a RJ45 jack connection to a block of 4 terminals A,B,+,–.
Some of the available RS-485 sensors already have a RJ45 jack; however, some only have 4 terminals labeled A,B,+,- . Such sensors can be connected Poseidon 2250 or to an S-Hub using either a TP cable (4 or 6 wires) or the B-Cable module.
The 4-wire connection

Industrial Bus (RS-485) wiring example
The bus leads via a 4-wire connection from a Poseidon 2250 unit to two daisy-chained
sensors, Temp-485 and HTemp-485. Two twisted pairs are used for the connection.
An S-Hub unit is daisy-chained via the RJ45 jack to the second sensor, HTemp-485, using a
4-wire connection. The brown pair carries power, the blue pair is used for data.
Temp-485 and HTemp-485 sensors are connected to S-Hub connectors 1 through 3 using
6-wire connections (brown pair for power, blue pair leads the bus to the device, green pair back from the device).
A Spider converter is connected to connector 4 of the first S-Hub with a patch cable. Three
Temp-1Wire 10m sensors and one contact are connected to the Spider (door contact
connects to the blue RJ45 pair).
The second S-Hub unit is connected with a patch cable to the Spider output. Temp-485 and HTemp-485 sensors are connected to S-Hub connectors 1 through 3 using
6-wire connections (brown pair: power, blue pair: bus to the device, green pair: bus return).
Connector 4 connects a Temp-485 sensor over a 4-wire connection (brown pair to power the
sensor, blue pair for the A/B signals of the bus).
The Temp-485 sensor is configured to terminate the bus using the TERM jumper.

User Passwords
Two separate user accounts (username and password) can be configured for SNMP and HTTP access.
Account types:
‘Read Only’ – can only read values and configuration settings ‘Read Only + Outputs’ – can read values and set outputs, cannot change
configuration settings (not even sensor names)
‘Read & Write’ – can perform any changes
The “Read Only” account has read-only access to values, cannot perform any configuration
changes. The “Read&Write” account can change configuration settings.
After setting up a username and a password, you will be asked to log in every time
you try to open the Flash interface.
Passwords also apply to access to the values.xml and setup.xml files – see the table. In case of “Read Only” HTTP access, you will no longer be able to change
configuration settings in Flash setup.
IP Access Filter
Allows you to define a range of trusted IP addresses that are allowed to access the Poseidon over HTTP and SNMP. The trusted IP range is configured separately for each protocol.
To set up the filter, specify the base IP address and the mask that define the trusted range. Access is granted if the following condition is true (AND represents bitwise multiplication):
(IP trying to access AND IP Mask Range) = IP Address Value

SNMP Access - communities (passwords)
Two different password can be configured. For each of them, it is possible to allow R or R/W access, or temporarily disable it.
Most SNMP programs use the following (default) settings. For security reasons, we highly recommend to change the R/W access password.
R (get, get next) “public” R/W (set) “private”
Caution: SNMP Access settings are available at the SNMP Setup tab.
What to do if you forget your password
Restore the factory-default configuration of the device by one of the following methods:
Use the UDP Config utility (must run on the same network segment).
Right-click the line corresponding to the device and select “Load defaults” from the pop-up menu.
Use the DIP Load defaults feature.
Toggle the DIP1 switch several times during the first 5 seconds after powering up the device.
Connect to the Serial Setup (RS-232) and execute the Load Defaults function from
the terminal menu. The menu is equivalent to that of Telnet Setup. To enter the menu: 9600/8N1, DIP1=1, restart the device.

Tip: It is not always necessary to configure a SMTP Server in order to send e-mails. The Poseidon
can work as SMTP server itself and deliver the e-mail directly to the recipient’s mailbox. However, always test this mode in your particular environment – the e-mails sent in this mode are often blocked by various spam filters due to missing reverse MX records.
Poseidon can only send e-mails, it cannot receive them!
Example of a received e-mail:
E-mail is sent upon every alarm activation and deactivation.

GSM modem (local or remote)
Text messages (SMS) can be sent in two ways:
A) Local GSM modem
A GSM modem is connected to the Poseidon's RS-232 interface. The modem is powered from its own adapter or from the 12V terminals. An active SIM is inserted in the modem, PIN is disabled. SMS Center should be retrieved from the SIM after start-up.
B) Remote GSM modem
Poseidon does not have its own GSM modem. “Serial Port Settings” is set to “Disabled”. To send a SMS, a GSM modem connected to another Poseidon unit or the “SMS GW” product is used. The remote GSM modem must be accessible over the network, using the A address, by default at port 80, over “service.xml”.
The communication takes place using the SOAP protocol; therefore, the sending Poseidon unit retries sending the SMS if the connection was not established or refused.
The throughput of the remote GSM modem is limited to 5 SMS per minute for Poseidon units
and about 20 SMS per minute for “SMS GW”.
The modem function can be tested by pressing the corresponding button. The SMS + Ring When Alarm option rings the phone number for 4 seconds after sending the
alarm SMS.

Configuring temperature sensors in TCP setup
TCP Setup allows you to activate and configure all supported sensors on both buses. Numbers in brackets indicate the number of
detected active sensors, as well as (in case of RS-485 sensors) their addresses.
Activating 1Wire (RJ11) sensors
Press “1” to invoke the following dialog:
Enable 1-Wire temperature sensors? (yes/no)
Use “y” and “n” to make your selection. Poseidon then automatically detects the sensors on the 1Wire bus and displays the number of sensors found:
Searching ... 4 sensors found
All 1Wire sensors that you want to use must be connected to the Poseidon while autodetecting in TCP Setup. This is the only way to initialize the sensors. The number of sensors cannot be changed manually. Detection is bound to the unique sensor ID addresses. Unrecognized sensors on the 1Wire bus are ignored.
Activating Industrial bus (RS-485) sensors
It is necessary to specify the number of sensors on the RS-485 bus and the unique RS-485 address of each sensor. Autodetection simplifies this task.
Press “3” to invoke the following dialog:
Enable RS485 temperature sensors? (yes/no)
Use “y” and “n” to make your selection and press Enter. The automatic sensor detection prompt follows:
Automatic scanning? (yes/no)
Press “y” to proceed with autodetection on the RS-485 bus (takes a couple of seconds) and display a list of detected sensors:
Automatic scanning? (yes/no) y Scanning ... found sensor n.1 on addr z (z+023.68C) Poseidon>)
If you chose not to autodetect RS-485 sensors (Automatic scanning? > No), proceed to manual sensor definition:
The Poseidon prompts you for the number of sensors, a number from 1 to 32 is expected:
Automatic scanning? (yes/no) n Set how many available? (1..32) :
1 ... 1-Wire [4x] 3 ... RS-485(Temp-485)[1x k] 9 ... Assign RS-485 sensor address
Poseidon family - Manual
HW group
www.HW-group.com
After entering the number of sensors, you are prompted to enter the sensor address for every sensor.
The address is a character from the following ranges: “0”..“9”, “a”..“z”, “A”..“Z” (except “T”). If you
simply press Enter, the character in parentheses is used. The previous address is automatically used if no new address is entered.
Set 1. sensor address : (A) A Set 2. sensor address : (a) a Set 3. sensor address : (3) 3
Note: The order of sensors on the RS-485 bus can be changed freely. However, the order
defines the sequence in which the sensors are displayed in the WWW interface.
Changing a RS-485 sensor address
If you use RS-485 sensors without jumpers for configuring the address, you may need to change the factory-assigned address of a sensor. However, this is only possible when only one sensor, with a changeable address, is connected to the RS-485 bus.
Press (9) to select the Assign RS-485 sensor address function:
Please check you have only one sensor on the RS-485 bus! (Press enter to continue) Enter new sensor address : Q Address changed
Identifying RS-485 sensors
RS-485 sensor address is reflected in the “ID” variable shown in the XML interface and listed in the
WWW interface. The address (“0…9”, “a…z” or “A…Z”) corresponds to the decimal ASCII value of
the address character (“0”=48, “1”=49, “A”=65, “a”=97, “z”=122). Using this variable, you can identify individual sensors before you name them in Flash Setup.
Serial setup
Serial (RS-232) setup is a terminal interface accessible with a standard terminal over the serial port. Serial setup offers the same settings as the TCP setup and complements the Flash setup.
You can access the Serial setup using the HyperTerminal utility (serial port, 9600 8N1) or the Hercules utility (“serial” tab).
Configure your terminal program to 9600 8N1. Connect the serial cable to the Poseidon unit and select the serial port. Set DIP1=On and power off the Poseidon unit for at least 3 seconds. After completing the configuration, switch DIP1 back to Off and power off the Poseidon unit
for at least 3 seconds.
Note: Some Poseidon models are not equipped with a RS-232 interface and therefore
support TCP setup only.

Sample solutions and connections
Poseidon 2250 is extremely versatile. The following examples should answer most questions about what can be connected where.
Connecting 10 sensors to the 1-Wire bus
Eight temperature sensors and two humidity sensors are connected via the 1-Wire bus (RJ11) to a Poseidon 2250 unit. 10 sensors in total are connected using two T-Box hubs and one T-Box2 hub.
Bus used to connect the sensors: 1Wire Total bus length: 10m Maximum number of sensors: 10 Sensors used:
2x Humid-1Wire 1m 8x Temp-1Wire 1m
Accessories used:
2x T-Box 1x T-Box2
Conclusion: This solution is limited by the maximum 1Wire bus length. It is suitable for applications that use 1 to 10 sensors at one place (one location, 19” rack cabinet, etc.).
Poseidon family - Manual
HW group
www.HW-group.com
Poseidon Spider – bus converter
This solution combines the advantages of both buses. Two Spider units are far apart, connected using a Patch cable with RJ45 modular jacks. Both Spider units are used to connect four temperature or humidity sensors, each with a 10m cable. One Temp-485 sensor is located at the end of the chain and terminates the bus.
One Temp-1Wire temperature sensor with a 10m cable is connected directly to the Poseidon
1250 (2250) unit to the RJ11 jack.
Six temperature sensors and two humidity sensors are connected via the 1Wire bus (RJ11)
to the Spider units. Each sensor is connected with a 10m cable.
Two Spider units are connected to Poseidon 1250 with a standard RJ45 Patch cable
over the Industrial bus. Bus length is limited to 1000m.
The Spider unit has 4 inputs for external sensors and supports one sensor per
connector – for a maximum of 4 sensors.
The Industrial bus is terminated by connecting a Temp-485 sensor with termination enabled
over a 4-wire connection. The Spiders have different addresses and the “middle” mode set.
Bus used to connect the sensors: 1Wire bus, Industrial Bus Total bus length: 1000m + 9x 10m Maximum number of sensors: 40 Sensors used:
6x Temp-1Wire 10m 2x Humid-1Wire 3m 1x Temp-485
Accessories used:
2x Poseidon Spider 2x RJ45 Patch cable 300m (RJ45 – RJ45) 1x RJ45 TP cable 300m (RJ45 – 4 pins, “LAST” wiring)
Conclusion: This solution is not limited by the 1Wire bus length. The Spider units can be up to 1000m apart. The solution is suitable for large-scale applications with many sensors (e.g. server rooms).
Poseidon family - Manual

Using the Industrial bus – star topology
This solution demonstrates a star-like connection of sensors to the Industrial bus using an S-Hub unit. The S-Hub is the central point that connects individual sensors. The maximum bus length decreases to 500m because the cable lengths of all sensors connected to the S-Hub must be counted twice. A Temp-485 sensor with termination is at the end of the bus.
One Temp-1Wire temperature sensor with a 10m cable is connected directly to the
Poseidon 1250 unit to the RJ11 jack.
The Industrial bus connects to the S-Hub input via a RJ45 patch cable. At the same time, the
cable carries power to the sensors and to the S-Hub; extra power can be supplied by an external power adaptor.
Sensors must be connected to the S-Hub in proper sequence, starting from output
No. 1. Outputs cannot be skipped. (For instance, connecting outputs 1,2,5,6 while leaving outputs 3 and 4 unconnected will not work.)
First three temperature (Temp-485) and temperature/humidity (HTemp-485) sensors are
connected in sequence to the first three outputs. An RJ45 / 6-wire cable, wired according to the “MIDDLE” version, is used to connect them.
The Spider unit is connected with a patch cord. The Spider connects four Temp-1Wire
sensors at 4x 10m distances. The Spider unit is in the “MIDDLE” mode.
The Industrial Bus is terminated at the Temp-485 sensor connected to the S-Hub at position
No. 5. The connecting cable is wired according to the “LAST” version, termination is enabled
at the sensor (Term=On).
Poseidon family - Manual
HW group
www.HW-group.com
Using the Industrial bus – daisy chain
This solution demonstrates daisy-chain linked sensors on the Industrial bus. Note the distances between sensors. The Spider unit connects four local temperature sensors. At the end of the bus, there is a Sens-UI voltage and current sensor with termination enabled.
One Temp-1Wire temperature sensor with a 10m cable is connected directly to the
Poseidon 1250 unit to the RJ11 jack.
Two HTemp-485 temperature/humidity sensors are connected at the beginning of the bus,
using a 4-wire cable connected to the terminals.
The bus continues to the Temp-485 temperature sensor, still using 4 wires. The Temp-485-Pt100-Cable uses a 4-wire connection as well. The temperature is measured
by a Pt100 sensor mounted on a 2m silicon cable.
The next Temp-485-Pt100-2xDIN converter, mounted on a DIN rail, uses a 4-wire
connection. Two external Pt100 thermometers measure two temperature values.
The following Temp-485-Pt100-Box sensor, designed for outdoor environment, includes
a probe for precise temperature measurement. 4-wire connection.
The Spider unit is, on the contrary, connected via a RJ45 jack. The Spider connects four
Temp-1Wire sensors located 4x 10m away.
Please note the crossing of cables. It is necessary to respect the input and output designation of the RJ45 jacks. The Spider is in the “middle” mode.
The Industrial bus finally leads, via a 4-wire connection, to a Sens-UI sensor that measures
external voltage and current. At this sensor, the bus is terminated by an external 120Ω resistor.

Using Poseidon units in your programs
Poseidon & Damocles Installation Wizard
The Installation Wizard simplifies the use of Poseidon and Damocles products in your applications. Simply call the wizard from within your application to add, remove or configure a Poseidon or Damocles unit.
Applications that use remote inputs and outputs over the network need to have device support added, for instance using XML, which is easily achieved with our HWg SDK. However, the user then still needs to link the Poseidon or Damocles unit to the application. To do so, one can either prompt the user for an IP address and a port, or search the network for units automatically. The latter, user-friendly method, is exactly what the Installation Wizard supports. The wizard guides the user through the process of identifying the devices, and returns one or more IP addresses of the selected devices to your application.
Source code of the wizard is available in the HWg SDK for several programming languages, together with an example application that invokes the wizard.
Advantages of using the wizard
User-friendly device detection Ability to find one or more devices Quick and easy way to add support for our products to your application Visual look-and-feel matches the Poseidon and Damocles style All functions that you need to call from your application are available in source form
Conclusion:
The installation wizard is completely free. It is intended for SW developers and aims to simplify support for Poseidon and Damocles line of products. For detailed information, see: AN30: Poseidon & Damocles Installation Wizard

HWg SDK
HWg SDK is a library of functions, as well as examples of their use, for Unix and Windows. The functions are intended to help third-party SW solutions communicate with our products over IP. SDK reduces the time needed to implement support for our products into your SW.
HWg SDK is free of charge; however, you need to register before downloading. After
registering, you will automatically receive a link to the latest version by e-mail.
http://www.hw-group.com/software/sdk/index_en.htm
HWg SDK is available in English only. SDK installs to the Windows environment, its interface is HTML-based.
When is the SDK useful for you? For example, Poseidon products make the readings available in a well-documented XML file. A simple XML parser is sufficient to transform the data into another structure. However, to receive alarm alerts, a SNMP trap parser needs to be implemented, etc.
All of these functions use standard interfaces. On the other hand, unless you already have a complete SNMP implementation in your software, it is easier to use HWg SDK functions that invoke the respective event handlers in your software.
Basic SDK features
HWg SDK is simple to understand HWg SDK speeds up the implementation of HW group products in your SW With HWg SDK, you don’t have to worry about future changes of structures, interface
updates, and so on
HWg SDK is ready to work with most programming languages

HW group
www.HW-group.com
Reading values using XML
Sensor readings are available as a HTML page intended for human users, and as a XML page (values.xml). Any application can easily read the values from XML tags.
XML record example for a temperature sensor:
<Entry> <Name>Sensor 16</Name> - Sensor name <Interface>RS485</Interface> - Sensor interface <ID>75</ID> - Unique identifier within the device <Value>27.8</Value> - Current temperature, string with a
decimal separator, no units
<Min>10.0</Min> - Lower alarm threshold, string with a
decimal separator, no units
<Max>50.0</Max> - Upper alarm threshold, string with a
decimal separator, no units
<Hyst>0.0</Hyst> - Hysteresis, string with a decimal
separator, no units <SNMPTrap>1</SNMPTrap> - SNMP Trap, 0 = off, 1 = on <EmailSMS>0</EmailSMS> - E-mail, SMS, 0 = off, 1 = on <AlarmState>Active</AlarmState> - Alarm, Active or Inactive <Color>0</Color> - Line color, represents sensor status
<UnitType>C</UnitType> </Entry>
Note: You can back up your device configuration by downloading the setup.xml file.
Writing values to the device using XML
The setup.xml and values.xml files can be uploaded to the Poseidon unit, if allowed by the protective measures (HTTP password, IP address filter, DIP switch setting).
For downloading or uploading XML files from/to the Poseidon unit, we recommend the utility attached to Application Note 29: AN29: PosDamIO controls outputs from the command line.

Modbus over TCP – Interface description
Modbus is a communication protocol designed for measuring devices that communicate over RS-485 or RS-232 (sometimes named Modbus RTU). The Modbus protocol itself allows to share the memory area for variables, e.g. the readings, over one of the physical interfaces. Modbus/TCP is an extension of this protocol for communication over Ethernet. Its advantages include easy implementation in industrial visualization systems.

The Poseidon works as a TCP Server at port 502 (Modbus standard). The Modbus/TCP communication takes place using the given addresses. For details, see http://www.modbus.org.
Caution: The supported Modbus/TCP implementation requires that the “Slave ID” variable is set
to 2. If the connection cannot be established, check this setting. (The actual name may differ in your software – it used to be an address to distinguish multiple devices on a RS-485 line in case of Modbus/RTU).
Note: For details about Modbus/TCP, see AN28: Damocles family & Modbus/TCP at our
website.

SNMP – Interface description
SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) is a protocol designed for exchanging basic system information using short packets sent over UDP/IP.
Individual variables are described in a MIB (Management Information Base) table that pertains to a particular device. The MIB is distributed as a separate .mib file. For Poseidon products, the MIB is available on the supplied CD and at our website.
SNMP is an asynchronous protocol based on the client/server model (SNMP Client / SNMP Agent in this case). This means that a monitoring center (SNMP Client) requests the states of individual variables, and the SNMP Agent implemented in the device responds.
SNMP support is implemented in many languages designed for creating dynamic websites (PHP, ASP, Java, Perl, Python, and so on). Thanks to available modules, read and write access to data provided by a device over SNMP is relatively quick to implement.
In the standard communication mode, a “request and response” communication model is used.
Variables are defined by a hierarchy (sequence) of numbers that is described in the MIB table, where the meanings, names and formats of individual variables are given. If you know the hierarchy
(number sequence, for example “.1.3.6.1.4.1.21796.3.3.1.1.2.3” for the state of the third binary input),
you do not need the MIB table. For clarity, the following terms need to be understood:
MIB table – The .mib file is a text file that describes individual variables supported by the
device. It contains the addresses, names, descriptions and numeric formats of the variables.
OID is a variable identifier in the table. It is the “long” number that defines the position of the
variable in the tree of variables.
Some programs for working with SNMP do not support MIB files. In this case, you need to enter the OID strings manually. These strings can be found in the MIB table. However, to save you some time in first experiments with SNMP, a list of several variables with their OIDs follows:

SNMP Trap – Interface description
Whenever a value gets outside of the safe range for a sensor, the sensor enters the ALARM state. To notify about the alarm state, a SNMP trap is send to the specified IP address.
SNMP traps consist of two UDP packets sent by the SNMP Agent to the monitoring center (SNMP Client). The packet format is detailed in the MIB table. The first packet contains information about raising the ALARM, the second packet contains additional info about the sensor causing the alarm. When the alarm state ends (e.g. the temperature returns to the safe range), two more UDP packets are sent to inform about the termination of the alarm state.
This method was developed for faster notification of alarms because – in the normal request / response SNMP mode – the polling period may range from hundreds of milliseconds to minutes or even days. For dry contacts, alarm can be sent upon opening/closing, or turned off completely.
SNMP traps sent by the Poseidon
The MIB table contains a list as well as detailed descriptions of SNMP traps. An overview follows.
Cold Start + Link Up Trap
A pair of SNMP traps sent after the device starts up. If a sensor is in alarm upon startup, two more traps immediately follow.
Alarm raised on a dry contact
A pair of SNMP traps sent when an alarm is activated for a dry contact. The first trap
contains alarm activation identification for maintaining the “alarm table”. The second trap
contains, for instance, the name of the input in alarm.
Alarm terminated on a dry contact
A pair of SNMP traps sent when an alarm ends for a dry contact. This pair is always preceded by the traps related to the alarm activation. The first trap contains alarm activation identification for maintaining the “alarm table”. The second trap contains, for instance, the name of the input in alarm.
Alarm activated due to sensor value
A pair of SNMP traps sent when a sensor alarm is activated (temperature, humidity and others). Alarm is activated if the reading gets out of the defined range hysteresis. The first
trap contains alarm activation identification for maintaining the “alarm table”. The second trap
contains the assigned sensor name and the value causing the alarm.
Alarm activated due to sensor value
A pair of SNMP traps sent when a sensor alarm is activated (temperature, humidity and others). Alarm ends when the reading returns back to the safe range hysteresis. The first
trap contains alarm activation identification for maintaining the “alar m table”. The second trap
contains the assigned sensor name and the value causing the alarm.
