[STR551]Pixsys Apps NFC detection problem on STR551

user14962 · Post by **user14962** » 25/07/2017, 10:09

I try to use Pixsys Apps with my Xiaomi MIX cell phone which has eSE based NFC to communicate with STR551-12ABC-T128R. however, it is not working. To clarify that, I make sure the NFC function of my phone is open and put it as close as possible. I checked "supported products" in the apps and it said to support STR551-12ABC-T-R. Is it a reason why It can't detect STR551-12ABC-T128R?

Pixsys apps version 1.34

Hi,
of you are using the last versione available on the Google Play Store, probably the alignment fo the phone antenna and the STR551 antenna is not correct.

Activate nfc function, open MyPixsys app, be sure where is the phone antenna and put it in this zone:

I also attacched MyPixsys app manual:

Thanks for your response! I would try your suggestion.

Another question related to data logger, what would happen if the logging time exceed 3600s?
Would it just stop logging data? or would it overwrite old data in their corresponding address?

Is that possible to log data for 24 hrs using STR551? or any possible method I can use to make a report of 24-hrs-data?

If the datalogger memory is full, STR551 start overwriting the old data.

To increase the datalogging duration, the way is to increase the sampling time, for example you can set "30second".

Do you mean the sampling frequency? If you mean datalogger time, I have already set it to 3600s. Actually I am quiet confuse about the relationship of sampling frequency, datalogger time and EEPROM memory.Higher the sampling frequency is, the shorter the datalogger time is as the EEPROM memory is limited. Am I right?

I mean parameter 110 "DATA LOGGER TIME":
"60S" means that every 60 seconds a sample will be read and stored on the eeprom so after 1 day you will have 1440 samples.
If you set "30s", every 30 seconds a sample will be read and stored on the eeprom so after 1 day you will have 2880 samples.

Oh, datalogger time means logging time interval between two recorded points.I see. Finally, I successfully read the parameters from STR551 and I would like to know the maximum data points it can record.

Also, what is the meaning of actuation delay? Is it a time delay after or before PV=SV and alarm start? Then, the actuation,said a dry contact, is on after or before that set time reaches?

For example, I set upper limit and lower limit of temperature to 4 and 0 Degree Celsius and set +3600s actuation delay for the deforesting time of refrigerators. Is it true that refrigerators wouldn't switch on even though the detected temperature exceed 4 Degree Celsius for 3600s?

Hi,
it's correct.
Ifyou insert a positive value, means that in case of alarm, the relay wait that time before changing its state.
If you insert a negative value, means that if you are in alarm state and return to normal state, the relay wait that time before returning to normal state.

Thanks for answering! The maximum delay time is 1 hour,right?

Post by **Pixsys tecnico 1** » 28/07/2017, 16:34

Yes, 3600 seconds.

Thanks for your information! I would like to know how to transfer the recorded data from STR551 to PC or USB or SD card without using MyPixsys apps. It is because not all operators have a phone with NFC function. They need a way to extract the data besides NFC contact. Also, the client doesn't prefer the indicator to communicate with PC on site due to the environmental reason.

Any suggestion on that?

BTW,what is the maximum number of data it can record?

Hi,
if you want to read the Datalogger, you can read the modbus register from 5001 to 7561. The data records start from 5017 to 7561. You have 2544 records avaiable.

Best regards.

But how to access the data via Modbus? Could you please tell me what device or wiring I need?
Providing steps would be appreciated.Sorry, I am a beginner to Modbus.

Post by **Pixsys tecnico 6** » 01/08/2017, 14:44

Hi,
using RS485 wired and Modbus RTU protocoll.

Electrical wired
PIN[16] = RS485 +
PIN[17] = RS485 -

STR551 is the "Slave", but you need a "Master" device (software and hardware) to read the STR551.

Could the master device be TD700 with monitoring software,iModView? Does it support STR551?

Post by **Pixsys tecnico 6** » 21/08/2017, 11:08

Hi,
you can use follow system software with td700, but doesn't support STR551.

Hi...Nuisance pilot outages are sometimes a difficult thing to pinpoint the exact cause of. When a gas boiler is converted to LP the Pilot Assembly must be part of that conversion. A simple way to check if you have an LP gas pilot assembly is to look at where the aluminum tubing connects to the pilot assembly housing in the burner compartment. The hex shaped housing that the tubing connects to should be Black if it is an LP pilot assembly. If it is all silver then you have a Natural Gas assembly.
