New Feature: Computation Requirements

V3.0.0.427

Requirements implemented regarding the computation requitements (otherwise known as smart data and smart alarms) specification. This entails the following themes for battery, generator, rectifier, and lost comms alarms:

• Converting register values to specific outputs
• Combining registers to produce data rich outputs
• Applying mathematical formulae to register values

These themes boil down to the ability to compute more at the Edge in a user friendly and sustainable manner.

Feature Update: Modbus Client

V3.0.0.436

A Modbus Client plugin has been created which allows you to simulate/host the values read from a Modbus device (from a standard Modbus master plugin). Virtual registers can be created which can then be accessed by an external Modbus Master. The Modbus Client plugin supports:

• Coil Register (1-bit R/W)
• Discrete Input Register (1-bit Read only)
• Holding Register (16-bit R/W)
• Input Register (16-bit Read only)
