Benefits

 

 

Compatible Sensors

smartDEN Logger is shipped with one NTC thermistor sensor B57500M (up to 8 such sensors are supported by singe module). However additional sensors can be ordered from our store from this link: here

The module has 8 analog inputs 0-10V which can be used also with every analog output sensor within this voltage range. We offer range of sensor that can be connected as well to the analog inputs: LM35DZ (temperature), LM335Z(temperature), HIH-4000 (humidity), TSL250R(light), GP2Y0A21YK (Proximity)

The digital inputs can be used with any NO/NC or PNP output sensor like PIR, BEAM, BARRIER, GAS, SHOCK, SMOKE, VIBRATION, ACCESS CONTROL TERMINALS and so on...

 

 

Recording Data

The smartDEN Logger comes with 16GB microSD flash storage for storing the .CSV log files. For reference, a file with size of 1MB can store at least 7600 records. If the recording period is set to minimal (1 sec), such file will contain data for about 2 hours. For a whole day that is about 11 MB, or for one year the recorded data size will be about 4GB with 1 sec recording period.

 

 

Access the .CSV log files

First way: via web browser

The easiest way to access particular file is via web browser. Just log-in to the web server and goto section "Log Files". From this page it is possible to download specific file or to view it's records in chart plot directly in browser. Here it is not necessary to access the logger physically, but only internet connection to the module is required.

 

 

Second way: via smartDEN Plotter Software

The software is designed especially for smartDEN Logger and its main features are:

• Download automatically all (or only new) files on local storage from the remote smartDEN Logger;
• Plot multiple files on a single chart;
• Monitor the current input values from the smartDEN Logger;

 

 

Third way:  physically access the device and copy the files from SD card

This method requires physical access to the SD card. The files can be copied and imported in smartDEN Plotter or another chart plotting software accepting .CSV files.

 

 

Remote Sensors Monitoring

The module provides easy monitoring feature for its 32 inputs via web browser. Simply log-in to it's web server and monitor the values received from the sensors anytime.

 

 

 

Access via software DRMv3

This device is supported by DRMv3 Software.

The device can be found in the device list under the default name: smartDEN Logger

 

 

  

 

 

Access the inputs values via mobile devices

Android App DAE-aModules

 

 

    

 

Useful information about DAE-aModules and smartDEN Logger:

• Select device smartDEN Logger. You have to enter the IP of the device, HTTP port (for web/http access) and web password;
• Please with this app it is not possible to download the log files, but only to monitor the inputs values.

 

 

Remote Logging

This is advanced feature, and in this mode smartDEN Logger is able to send periodically POST request with the current states of the inputs in XML or JSON format to remote server which can easily record the received data into SQL database.

 

 

JSON and XML HTTP protocols for software integration

It is possible to download (GET) the current inputs values by a HTTP protocol via GET requests. The returned reply may be in XML/JSON request. If you would like to test it manually, just open your web browser and type in the address bar the following request: http://192.168.1.100/current_state.xml?pw=admin or http://192.168.1.100/current_state.json?pw=admin and the XML/JSON file will be shown containing the inputs stataus at this moment.
