Generic Ember+
About
The Ember+ protocol has been designed to allow the communication between two endpoints, one being the data provider and the other being the consumer. The data provider usually is a piece of hardware that offers a set of controllable parameters, while the consumer may be a control or monitoring system that provides access to these parameters and allows users to control them.
The Generic Ember+ connector, which acts as the consumer, is designed to allow monitoring of parameters that are provided via the Ember+ protocol irrespective of the specific device type.
Configuration
Connections
IP Connection
This connector uses a serial connection and requires the following input during element creation:
SERIAL CONNECTION:
Interface connection:
- IP address/host: The polling IP or URL of the destination.
- IP port: The IP port of the destination (default: 9000).
How to use
This connector retrieves and presents all the parameters that are available in the Ember+ tree structure of the device.
All the information that can be useful for monitoring can be found in a tree view on the General data page and in a table on the Overview page.
On the Configuration subpage of the Overview page, you can configure whether the label should be included in or excluded from the display key of the Parameters table. Note that this is applicable for nodes that have a parameter with a "label" identifier.
