Interfaces and local applications

The DB9 serial port is switchable between RS232, RS422 and RS485. The baud rate ranges from 50 to 115,200 Bd. This is a single port, not three independent interfaces.
The platform comprises Node-RED, the MariaDB database and the Mosquitto MQTT broker. Data can be stored in files, MariaDB or SQLite.
The built-in memory comprises 4 GB eMMC and 1 GB DDR3 RAM. Not all of the storage capacity is available to applications; part of it is used by the system and installed software.
Back-up capacitors enable a controlled shutdown when the power supply is disconnected. This function does not replace a UPS for business continuity.
The pre-installed software versions listed in the technical table are W&T’s specifications for this model. When working with existing equipment, check the specific firmware version and the availability of the required nodes.

Commissioning and accessories

Connect the network and power supply, use WuTility to configure the network parameters, and open the web management interface. Set up a Node-RED flow for specific data sources, test the behaviour in the event of a connection failure, and ensure that your configuration is backed up.

Frequently Asked Questions

What local interface does this variant have?

The DB9 serial port is switchable between RS232, RS422 and RS485. The baud rate ranges from 50 to 115,200 Bd. This is a single port, not three independent interfaces.

Do I need a separate computer to run Node-RED?

Node-RED runs directly on the device. A computer with a web browser is used to create and manage the application.

Will the capacitors keep the application running during a prolonged power cut?

No. It is used for controlled shutdown. An appropriate backup power supply is required for uninterrupted operation.
