AcquiSuite Advanced Configuration Options

The AcquiSuite setup and configuration page includes an advanced configuration page to set all of the ModHopper features
with a convenient web page interface. Below is an example screen for the AcquiSuite advanced configuration page.

In this setup page, there are several options available.

Serial port timeout, and protocol configuration. When a request comes in over the wireless mesh network and is
sent out on the ModHopper RS485 serial port, the ModHopper must wait for the attached modbus device to reply to
the query. The timeout option controls how long the ModHopper will wait before giving up on the attached
Modbus device and discarding the query. Most Modbus devices will respond in 150ms or less.

Pulse input contact closure threshold: allows you to set a maximum resistance to be counted as a “closed” contact.
This is helpful when using intrinsic barrier devices. Default of 500 ohms will work in most applications.

Pulse input maximum count frequency. For most pulse meters, 10Hz is adequate. Faster counting of mechanical
relays may result in “relay bounce” and give an incorrect count. Consult the pulse output device for information on
maximum expected pulse output rate.

Data log control: enable/disable AcquiSuite data logging for the ModHopper. Note: this is an internal AcquiSuite
feature, and does not set any registers on the ModHopper.

In addition to the configuration options, some further details about the ModHopper are provided These include the serial
number, firmware version, uptime, RF/RS485 packet counters, and internal temperature and power supply monitor.

For further information configuration and status registers, refer to the Modbus section in this manual.
