Scenario details:
- Every water meters in a multiple-site installation has a pulse output. At every site there are 2 counters in need of a modem capable of carrying out pulse counting of each counter
- Every hour the modem must send counter data to a WEB platform to be dealt with
Solution: MTX-Tunnel firmware + MTX-Java-IoT/MTX-Java-T/MTX-Java-T2
EXAMPLE of configuration (config.txt file) for the indicated scenario:

Details:
- How does MTX-Tunnel send counter data to the Web Server? Tunnel sends JSON data via HTTP(S) GET. In the previous example data will be sent to the URL: http://www.metering.es/json/dataset.php?data=
- What is JSON data format like?
- Tunnel will send data from all inputs and counters due to LOGGER_ioPeriod being >0
{“IMEI”:357042060414951,”TYPE”:”IOS”,”TS”:”30/07/2016 13:14:36”,”P”:”ID12345678”,”IP”:”80.23.1.3”,”CSQ”:10,”VER”:”9.12”, “AUX”:””,”MOD”:”101”,”IO1”:0,”IO2”:0,”IO3”:0,”IO4”:0,”IO5”:0,”IO6”:0, “IO7”:0,”IO8”:0,”IO9”:0,”IO10”:0,”AD1”:0,”AD2”:0,”CO1”:”1023”, “CO2”:”18425”}
Where:
IMEI | IMEI of the modem. Unique for each modem |
TYPE | JSON type |
TS | Time stamp of when data was collected from the modem |
P | User field specified in LOGGER_password |
IP | Current IP of the modem |
CSQ | Signal level. Between 0 … 31 |
VER | MTX-Tunnel version |
IO1 | I/O value |
AD1 | Analog input 1 value |
AD2 | Analog input 2 value |
CO1 | Counter 1 value |
CO2 | Counter 2 value |
- If the modem is periodically reset, will the counters reset continuously? No. Counters value won’t be lost if modem is reseted. Counters reset when lacking power supply in the modem. The countes are not stored in flash memory, because doing it continuously would quickly shorten its life. When receiving data on your server always keep in mind that if you receive a value inferior to the previos reading, that means that there was a power supply failure. Therefore you should add it to the previous reading information stored.
- What is the max. value the counters can count, and what happens when they reach the max.? 4 bytes. When surpassing they’re set to 0. If 1 pulse/sec is generated continuously.
- Is it possible to read counter data at a certain time? Yes, via Telnet or SMS by means of AT^MTXTUNNEL=GETCOUNTER,x command (x=counter).
- Is it possible to initialize the counters? Yes, via AT^MTXTUNNEL=SETCOUNTER,x,value command (x=counter, value=value to write in).
- In which pins of MTX-3G-Java-IOT modem pulse generator cable is connected? Modem will count pulses every time PIN4 or PIN11 of DB15 connector of the modem is taken to a GND (PIN 14 of DB15). You should use PIN4/14 for Counter 1 and PIN11/14 for 2.
