We use your sensors in many of our applications, and are very satisfied with them. Now i see you have some ethernet products wich seems very intressting. I do some programming in Delphi language. So my question is...is it difficult to read the data from the sensor over ethernet ? Do you have any source code examples ?
Offline
For data read from ethernet sensors you have a few choices:
- use our Sensorreader program. This software read and store data form one connected sensor. Program write data to csv file. This software is free, you can dowload it from www.cometsystem.cz
- our devices works well with these commercial softwares: ControlWeb (http://www.mii.cz/), Tirs.net (http://www.tirs.cz/), EasyView (http://www.intab.se/).
- we can send to you template and installation manual for Cacti monitoring system (http://cacti.net/). For this system you need Apache, MySQL and PHP installed on your computer. We provide no support for this software, you can ask on products' discussion forums.
- you can write your software. Sensors supporting reading via ModBus and SNMP protocols. For ModBus we use Focus ModBus library for Delphi (http://www.focus-sw.com/), communications addresses are described in device's manual. Maybe can be usefull this project - http://pes.free.fr/. For SNMP reading you can use the Synapse library - http://synapse.ararat.cz. OID's you can download from our sites.
We dont have any source code examples.

Thanks for your quick reply. Then it seems that it can be done with SNMP. What is OID´s ?

OID is object identifier in the MIB hierarchy. This is somethig like path to variables in our device - i.e. temperature, limits, alarms, etc.
OIDs' for Tx5xx (T7511, T3511, T4511, T2514) are:
Temperature .1.3.6.1.4.1.22626.1.2.3.1.0
Humidity .1.3.6.1.4.1.22626.1.2.3.2.0
Comp. quant. .1.3.6.1.4.1.22626.1.2.3.3.0
Pressure .1.3.6.1.4.1.22626.1.2.3.4.0
All OIDs' you can learn from our MIB tables.
For more information about SNMP you can read on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simple_Net … t_Protocol

Im still trying to get this to work. You must have some possibillity to have some source code for grabbing data via SNMP. Below is my code that dont work. Please try to help me out here....we are in a situation were i need to build a system with about 20 pc of the T7511...Problem below is that im not getting any data.
idSnmp1.Query.Host := '192.168.0.115';
idSnmp1.Query.Community :='public';
idSnmp1.Query.PDUType := PDUGetRequest;
idSnmp1.Query.MIBAdd('.1.3.6.1.4.1.22626.1.2.3.1.0','');
idsnmp1.SendQuery;
label1.Caption:=idsnmp1.Query.Value[0];
listbox1.Items:=idsnmp1.Query.MIBValue;
Ps..this is in Delphi (Indy library).

Actually i have it up / running now
BUT...thoose OID´s i dont see were you have got thoose from....in the MIB files i cant find them....please explain / or paste them all here. And also...how is the "find device done" ?
Thanks in advance

To MIB tables:
You can download any MIB browser (i.e. iReasoning MIB Browser http://www.ireasoning.com/). This browser translate the MIB table to OID directly.
But you can extract the OID from MIB table manually. Part of T7511.mib:
... comet OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { enterprises 22626 } products OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { comet 1 } T7511 OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { products 2 } readings OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { T7511 1 } ... temperature OBJECT-TYPE SYNTAX DisplayString (SIZE (0..8)) ACCESS read-only STATUS mandatory DESCRIPTION "Temperature" ::= { readings 1 } ...
The OID number to enterprises is .1.3.6.1.4.1. (iso.org.dod.internet.private) - from RFC1213.mib.
The OID to Temperature is: .1.3.6.1.4.1.22626.1.2.1.1.0 - iso.org.dod.internet.private.enterprises.comet.products.T7511.readings.temperature
The syntax is:
subtree_name OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= {name_of_parent_subtree position_in_parent_subtree }

To find device:
We release a dll with this function asap. Please follow our Comet web pages.

But regarding the finding of the device. Im in a quite hurry to get our systems up/running. Im sure you could describe how the finding is done, or is a dll really needed ? It´s probably very simple code to find device

Dll is released. But our download section is under reconstruction. Please contact us via e-mail. We'll send you dll library by e-mail.

We purchased a recorder (S 6021) which we are using to record pump performance tests. The recording comesfrom a magnetic flow meter and a pressure transducer. The system works well but: We need to set the parameters of the graph display the same as standard pump manufacturers curves. i.e. the x axis should represent pressure (0 - 250 mWg) and the y axis should represent flow (0-250 l/sec) How can we change these parameters. We also need to set the logging intervals to 1 sec to give us a smooth curve. Danie Joubert joubs@balz.co.za

You can't change x and y axes as you want. This settings are not supported.
You may export data and transform it for required display by software of third party (e.g. MS Excel).
Minimal logging interval is 10 sec.

I am having trouble connecting my T3111 to my pc. I have downloaded the Tsensor program and the driver has been installed but when I go to connect it tells me connection failed. Any suggestions? Thanks
Offline
There is a few information, so it is hard to say what is wrong. So I suppose you are running this SW under Windows XP. Click Windows button Start, select Control Panels, System, Device Manager. Select item Ports (COM & LPT). If the communication cable is connected and installed correctly you should see USB Serial Port (COMx) there, where x is some number of assigned COM port. If there is no problem and it works well, then run Tsensor SW, select Device type: Analog output and select corresponding COM port (number X before) and then click OK. That's all.
P.S. I'm not sure if this question is still about Software of Ethernet sensor (see topic name). It is better to use one topic for one question! It can helps in feature to other people when they are trying to find somethink.

basically we will purchase a t3510 sensors. what softwares do we need to install in order to hook-up the units on our Ethernet? also, will these software produce an audible/sound alarm aside from visual alarm? we need sound alarm to be heard at least inside a small room.

Hello Jerald,
I think it depends on how many pieces of sensors would you like to buy.
You may use our SensorReader utility, but this software is started once every sensor.
We can offer you H3530 sensor instead of T3510. This sensor contains relays, it means you may connect extended sound system, and contains small internal speaker for signalization also.
Finally, you may buy software system from third company (sensors support Modbus, SNMP, SOAP protocols) or you may write your own software.
If you need more information, please contact our sales managers. Contact available on our web pages cometsystem.cz
