Applications
Using the i.LON
100 SOAP/XML
Interface
The i.LON 100 applications poll
the Data Server for NVE and
MBus data point values and
information.
NVE DRIVER
The NVE driver exists to manage
communication between the i.LON 100
Data Server and the various external
devices on the same network as the the
i.LON 100.

MBus DRIVER
The MBus driver exists to manage
communication between the i.LON 100
Data Server and the various meter devices
on the same network as the i.LON 100.
MBus Data Points
MBus Data Points
Two of the most important properties in the Data Server for any data point are the
<UCPTpointStatus> and <UCPTvalue> properties. The <UCPTpointStatus> property
represents the current status of the data point. The <UCPTvalue> property represents the
current value of the data point. The Data Server updates these properties in real time, and
they are very useful to many i. LON 100 applications.
For example, you could set up an Alarm Generator that will update the <UCPTpointStatus>
of a data point to an alarm condition each time the <UCPTvalue> of that data point reaches
a certain level. You could then set up an Alarm Notifier that will send out an alarm
notification each time the <UCPTpointStatus> of the data point is updated to that condition.
These applications are described in more detail later in this document.
A data point list is generated for each data point when it is created and added to the
i. LON
100 Data Server. Once you have created the data points for your i. LON 100 and them to the
Data Server, you can reference these data points when using i. LON 100 applications such as
the Analog Function Block, Event Scheduler, Event Calendar, Type Translator, Alarm
Generator, and Alarm Notifier. When any of these applications reference a data point, that
application is added to the data point list for the data point, and the application will be
