Overview
Smartbox, based on the Telit Chipset HE910 is a ready to use solution for connecting Modbus devices to the Fieldbus Cloud. It provides a Master Slave Communication on RS485 for connecting up to 20 devices as well as 10 Sensors (Current ,Temperature, Pressure). Easy configure the SetUp of building automation field devices like pumps, e-meters, Airhandling units in the Fieldbus cloud or connect different sensortypes to the box. Using the Smartrest protocol the terminal comes up with a low traffic solution for decentralized applications. For the Smartbox there is a customized user interface available made for easy handling the sensors and showing graphs for consumption and temperatures.
Wire your Modbus RTU RS485 Network
Wire the Modbus RTU RS485 network:
Wire the Sensors:
By default NTC temperature sensors are configured.
Configure the Terminal
By default the terminal supports cloud fieldbus from Device Integration Platform. To use it you should:
- Subscribe your account to the Cloud Fieldbus app by contacting support@softwareag.com.
- Configure the terminal:
- Power on the Terminal.
- Configure the Terminal's APN by sending an SMS to Terminal's SIM card with the following syntax:
GPRS=APN,username,password(e.g.GPRS==public4.m2minternet.com,,)
Registering the Terminal in Device Integration Platform
In the Cloud Fieldbus app go to the menu and there find Devices -> Registration. Enter the Terminal's IMEI as an ID. The IMEI is printed on the devices itself:
After accepting the device you should be able to see it in the All Devices list within 30 second.
