The red LED flashes at approx. 10 Hz during initialisation once the button has been released or a
restart has taken place without pressing the button. This takes approx. 10 s. It takes approx. 30 s if
a firmware update was carried out on the Fieldgate.

2.2.1

Relay concept

Use as alarm relay
The relay is energised after power-up and initialisation (good status).
If using as an alarm relay, the checkbox "Power Down Devices between Scan Cycles" in theadministrator mode must be deactivated. When in user mode a "no" appears (delivery condition).
Power safe function application
For self-sufficient installations, the power-save mode can be activated.
This function can be used to switch the power supply for connected devices on or off. For this, thecheckbox "Power Down Devices between Scan Cycles" in the administrator mode must be
activated . A "yes" appears in the user mode (→ Chap. 10.4.1).

Linearization
For the internal 4-20mA analog inputs, Fieldgate allows scaling or linearization, optionally in twostages with a linearization table.
In level measurement, linearization specifies the ratio between the level and tank volume or productweight and allows measurement in technical units, such as meters, hectoliters, etc. The measured
value is then displayed in the selected unit.
Linear measured value pattern
The measured 4-20mA current value is proportional to the customer unit over the entire measuring
range.
Here, the values entered specify the ratio of the measured 4-20mA current value to the Unit (PV)customer unit to be parameterized. The measured value resulting from this simple scaling isdisplayed as the primary variable PV.
Example of level measurement:
The tank is linear, e.g. vertical cylindrical tank.
The customer unit can be selected under Unit (PV). The volume value corresponding to fulladjustment is specified under 20mA.
This value corresponds to an output of 100% (= 20mA). The volume value corresponding to empty
adjustment or a start value is specified under 4mA. This value corresponds to an output of 0%(= 4mA).

Fieldgate FXA 320"Overview of Connected Devices" function

Non-linear measured value pattern
If the measured 4-20mA current value is not proportional to the customer unit within the entire
measuring range, linearization can take place optionally in two stages with scaling and subsequentlinearization table input.
Optionally, you can first scale the 4-20mA measured values and, in doing so, determine the ratio
between the measured 4-20mA current value and the measured variable Unit (PV) of the connectedtransmitter ("m" for level measurement for example). The measured value resulting from this simple
scaling is displayed as the primary variable PV.
With the aid of the linearization table, Fieldgate can calculate and display the correct values of thecustomer unit Unit (SV) using the value pairs to be entered from Unit (PV) and Unit (SV).
The following requirements have to be met:
• The max. 32 (16 FXA520) value pairs for the points in the linearization curve are known.
• The measured values have to be entered in increasing order. The curve is monotone increasing.
• The measured values for the first and last point of the linearization curve should correspond tothe minimum and maximum value of the measuring range.
• Linearization takes place in the customer unit Unit (SV) to be entered.
The linearized customer unit is displayed as a secondary variable (SV).
If the 4-20mA measured values are not scaled beforehand, the measured 4-20mA current values
must be entered in the linearization table as the Unit(PV).
Example of level measurement
If the level is not in proportion to the volume or weight within the set measuring range, alinearization table can be entered in order to measure in technical units.

L00-FXAx20xx-14-00-06-de-002

Every point (2) in the table is described by a value pair: level (3) and volume (for example) (4). The
last value pair determines the output of 100% (= 20 mA).
Levels are generally indicated in the unit "m" in the linearization table which requires the 4-20 mA
current values to be scaled to level values in "m" as explained in Step 1.
The linearization table can then also be computed beforehand using a device tool such as the ToF
Tool, for example, and copied into the appropriate field of the Fieldgate configuration using the"copy & paste" function.

The internal counter can count up to 32 bits, which represents 4294967296 counting pulses. The
counting frequency is specified at a max. of 12.5 KHz.
Start Value
Here you can enter a start value for counting (the factory setting is 0.000).
Quantisation
Here you can enter the conversion factor for counting steps/unit (the factory setting is 1.000).
Example:1400 counting steps / litre -> 1400 counting steps represent 1 litre
Down Count
Activation of this checkbox in Administrator Mode (in user mode a "yes " is displayed) changes the
direction of counting of the event counter to decreasing numbers (the factory setting is for increasing
numbers).
Note!
Sending off the section of the form named "Operation Mode“ with "Send“ causes the current
accumulated counter value of the input to be reset to the starting value.
Behaviour when the counter overruns
If the number of counting impulses exceeds the 32 bit limit a sensor error is sent by mail and/or
SMS according to the "Alarm Mail on Sensor Error“ function and the "Device Status“ is set to"ERROR“. The counter is then reset and starts anew while the displayed value is reset to thespecified start value. The "Device Status“ shows "ERROR“ until the counter is re-initialised bypressing "Send“. Multiple overruns are not reported. This factory setting cannot be deactivated.
Note!
The current count value is periodically saved every 10 minutes in the non-volatile memory. If thesystem is restarted between two save periods, e.g. due to a power outage etc., totalised count values
can be lost in this period.

In this section, you configure the IP address of the Fieldgate.
Caution!
Each IP address may only occur once in a network! You can get an IP address from your Internet
provider or your system administrator. The settings must be confirmed with the button "Send".
Host name
The host name describes the unambiguous name of a device in the network.
Usage in conjunction with DHCP:
DHCP assigns as standard an IP address on the basis of the MAC address of the device. If the DHCP
server being used supports IP allocation using host names, the name of the device in the network
can alternatively be used for the assignment of the IP address.
Note!
WINS name resolution is not supported. Therefore, the device cannot be contacted in the network
using its host name instead of its IP address. The purpose of the host name in this case is solely toprovide an alternative means of allocating IP addresses through the DHCP server.
IP Assignment
Selection list:• Manual Entry• Use BootP-Protocol• Use DHCP
This selection list is used to establish how the IP address is allocated, under which the device canlater be contacted in the network. The factory setting is "Manual Entry ".
– Manual Entry
If no DHCP or BootP is used, then all network settings must be entered manually. Fill out thefollowing field (IP Address, Gateway, ...) for this purpose.
– Use BootP-Protocol
Activate the checkbox if a BootP server is being run in the network in which the Fieldgate is being
deployed and the IP address should be allocated dynamically. The IP address is then set
automatically and the gateway address is also taken from the local BootP server.
Please contact your system administrator if you have any questions.
If you use BootP, a mail is sent after every restart to the recipient or the recipient specified under"Address Alarm Mails " containing the currently allocated IP address.
– Use DHCP
Activate the checkbox if a BootP server is being run in the network in which the Fieldgate is being
deployed and the IP address should be allocated dynamically. The IP address is then set
automatically and also the usual network settings such as the gateway or the DNS server areusually taken from the local DHCP server.
Please contact your system administrator if you have any questions.
If you use DHCP a mail is sent after every restart to the recipient or the recipient specified under" Address Alarm Mails " containing the currently allocated IP address.

Caution!
With the exception of the SIM PIN, the specifications of the following section are not relevant for
GPRS operation of the Fieldgate GSM.
The analogue/GSM Fieldgate is capable of dialling into a central server.
This may be necessary for the following reasons:• The Fieldgate should send an e-mail with the current measured values or alarm messages to a
mail server• The Fieldgate should compare its internal time against a central time server• The Fieldgate should be reachable via an existing network, e.g. the Internet(dial-in to an Internet Service Provider)• For security reasons, the Fieldgate should not take any calls but should, upon request (ring), dial
into a configurable, trustworthy server/user (automatic call-back mechanism)
Caution!
If you do not want to use any of the four options described in your application, only the "Numberof Rings until Off-Hook", "Modem Country Selection" (only analog version) and "SIM PIN"
(only GSM version) points are relevant.
ISP Phone Number
Here, enter the dial-in number of the server which the Fieldgate should dial into due to one of thereasons mentioned above (e.g. the access number of your Internet Service Provider).
Caution!
When using the GSM version, special dial-in numbers of the Internet Service Provider should be
used, which are provided especially for access via mobile communications. This saves on the costs
for dialling into a public fixed network.

Enter the IP address of the Fieldgate here (factory setting is 192.168.254.1).
If Fieldgates should be addressed with a modem interface via a network router, every Fieldgate
which can be contacted in this way needs a separate IP address comparable with an Ethernet device.
Users in a company network can easily contact the required Fieldgate by means of a router solution,for example by entering the IP address in the browser. The router automatically sets up a modem
connection to the device.
IP-Addr. Modem Peer (remote)You can enter an IP address at this location which is allocated to the caller when dialling up the
Fieldgate (the factory setting is 192.168.254.2).
Max. Daily Dial In Time [min]Here, the limit of the daily dial-in time to the specified server (e.g. Internet Service Provider) is
entered. The initial setting is 1440 minutes (1 day) and this is also the maximum value. Any value
can be entered.
Caution!
Adherence to the specified maximum dial-in time is not guaranteed if, due to faulty configuration(sensor, limit, ISP, e-mail settings), the device dials in periodically at short time intervals to thespecified server. The exact dial-in time cannot be calculated exactly in the case of shorttransmissions occurring in quick succession. Therefore, particularly in the case of GSM devices, pay
attention to the correct configuration of the device, as even dial-in attempts may result in charges.
Use Tone Dialing (otherwise Pulse) (analogue version only)
Here, you can choose whether the integrated modem of the Fieldgate should use tone or pulse
dialling. The checkbox is activated as standard (a "yes" appears in User Mode). Uncheck thecheckbox if you want to use pulse dialling.
Wait for Dialtone
Activate the checkbox if the Fieldgate should first wait for a dial tone before dialling-in (operation

Number of Rings Until Off-Hook
Here, specify the minimum number of rings the Fieldgate should wait for until it takes a call and theline is engaged. The maximum number of rings, however, is limited by the country setting " Modem
Country Selection " of the integrated modem. If the value entered exceeds the maximum numberof rings allowed in the particular country setting, the Fieldgate automatically adjusts the specified
value to the maximum value permitted.
This setting is especially important if you operate the Fieldgate at a connection parallel to aconventional telephone (analogue version only).
Caution!
An exception arises when 0 is specified. In this instance, the Fieldgate does not take any calls/ does
allow the connection requested by the opposite party.This setting can be used for the automatic callback safety mechanism, whereby the Fieldgate dials into a configurable, trustworthy server/user onrequest (ring) – (automatic call-back mechanism). To use this mode, the "Callback ISP on Phone
Rings" setting must be activated and, in addition, the dial-in number and the access data of theserver must be specified (basically the first three points of this configuration section).
Callback ISP on Phone Rings
The Fieldgate has an integrated call-back mechanism for dialling into a central server whose dial-in
number was specified under "ISP Phone Number". Activate the checkbox if you want to use thisfunction.
The Fieldgate reacts as follows if the function is activated:• The Fieldgate starts dialling into the specified server if, having detected at least one ring signal,
another signal does not follow for ten seconds.
• If another ring signal is detected within this period, it waits for ten seconds again. This procedure
is continuously repeated.
• If the number of rings specified under "Number of Rings until Off-Hook" is then exceeded(exception if number = 0), the call is accepted and, where necessary, a modem connection
established with the opposite party.
• If no other ring signal is detected within the ten-second period, the Fieldgate starts dialling into
the specified server.
Example:The setting for "Number of Rings until Off-Hook" is 5 and the "Callback ISP on Phone Rings" optionis activated. An Internet Service Provider has been specified as the server. The user can now ring
the Fieldgate with a conventional telephone. If the user hangs up after a maximum of four rings, theFieldgate dials into the Internet Service Provider. If the "Mail Configuration" section is completely
configured and the "Mail assigned IP Address" option activated, the current IP address of theFieldgate is sent to the user with the e-mail address specified under "Address Alarm Mails". The
Fieldgate can then be reached worldwide in the Internet under this IP address (several users can
now also access it simultaneously).

Dial In Permanently
If this option is activated, the Fieldgate tries to dial into the specified server permanently. The
Fieldgate behaves as follows here:• If the server connection is busy, the Fieldgate will keep starting dial-in attempts until dial-in is
successful.
• If a connection between the Fieldgate and server is lost, the Fieldgate immediately starts new dialin attempts until a new connection to the server has been successfully established.
This option can be used to permanently connect a Fieldgate to a server. For example, you can ensurethat a Fieldgate installed in the field is always connected to the intranet/local network of a company
via a company server (router) and thus can be reached by all those sharing the network.
Additional AT Commands
This setting is for designed for service only. Please do not alter the factory setting of the field.
SIM-Pin (only GSM version)
Enter the PIN of your SIM card here, or change the PIN of your card to the default value 8080.
Modem Country Selection (only Analog version)
Differences between the telephone networks of different countries and telephone systems ofdifferent manufacturers mean that the settings of the integrated modem have to be adjusted. For
this reason, select the country setting suited to your application from the drop-down list. The
country settings refer to the specifications of public telephone networks.
When delivered, "United States" is set for the Fieldgate. This setting proves to be a functional basic
setting in most countries.
Proceed as follows if problems arise with the current country setting:• When using a public telephone connection:
Dial the specific setting for your country if available.
• For telephone systems:
Ask the manufacturer for the country specification followed (possibly try the country of origin of
the manufacturer).
• No country setting is available for your country:
The specification of the telephone network used corresponds to one of the country settings
available, i.e. a country setting which can be selected covers the specification of the country ofuse. Contact your network operator or try out different country settings.
For example, try the “Taiwan” setting for the following countries:
Algeria, Belarus, Bolivia, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Brunei, Costa Rica, Ecuador, El Salvador,
Guatemala, Honduras, Jordan, Lithuania, Morocco, Nicaragua, Peru, Oman, Tunisia, Ukraine,

10.3.3Mail Configuration

L00-FXA320xx-20-13-00-en-006

In this section, you can make all the settings for sending e-mails. If the Fieldgate is to send e-mails,
a mail server which forwards the e-mails must be entered.
Caution!
If you have configured e-mail sending for "Address Alarm Mails ", "Address Measurement
Mails " and "Periodic Measurement Mails ", you must check that mails are sent correctly. If
configured incorrectly, the Fieldgate permanently tries to send the e-mails which can result in a very
high telephone bill. If e-mailing is not working correctly, it is better to delete the"ISP Phone Number " (→ Chap. 10.3.2 "ISP & Modem Configuration" on Page 83).
Note!
A measured value e-mail in XML format, for example, does not contain all the static parameters of
the connected devices/internal interfaces such as limit values or descriptive texts for example.
Dynamic data such as measured values and status information, as well as the units and time stamp,
are transmitted via e-mail.
There are further restrictions when sending history e-mails -> see Datalogging.
Higher-order data processing and visualization systems, however, often need all the other staticparameters of the Fieldgate for correct processing/display. This information is just needed once.
Examples of this include Fieldgate DA and Fieldgate Viewer from Endress+Hauser.
If it is not possible to call up the complete data record directly by interrogating the index.xml page,the data can be sent directly to all the recipients of the measured values by selecting "Email all
Device Parameters to Measurement Recipients" in the device configuration (→ Chap. 8.1.2"Description/Range/Limit/Alarm Setup").
Example:A Fieldgate in GPRS mode can only send its data cyclically via e-mail to Fieldgate DA and Fieldgate
Viewer. Direct access to the device, and thus index.xml interrogation, is not possible from theoutside. Fieldgate Viewer, however, needs all the static parameters of the Fieldgate to display themeasured values and limit values correctly. Every time one or more static parameters is changed,
these data can be sent directly to Fieldgate DA/Fieldgate Viewer in the form of several e-mails using
the option described above.

If you have any questions, please contact your system administrator.
Test the e-mail delivery. It is best to do this without specifying an SMTP Gateway at first if you
have configured the Fieldgate for dialling into an Internet Service Provider. In this case, mails forthe analog/GSM version from the server (ISP) specified under "ISP & Modem Configuration" areforwarded directly or by the specified DNS to the mail server of the recipient. When using Ethernet,
the mails are then forwarded accordingly by the specified gateway or one of the DNS servers. In
some cases, this function is also supported by the mobile communications provider in GPRS

Remind pre-Boot Limit Alarms
The Fieldgate conducts checking of the current measured values with the configured limit values
after every restart if you have activated limit value violation reporting for a channel, for example
when the power supply is interrupted. If, after a restart, one of these limit values is undershot orexceeded, an alarm mail or alarm SMS is always sent to the recipient for the respective channel
when the equipment is in the delivered condition (no ticks made), even if this alarm condition
already arose before the restart and was also reported by mail/SMS. This also happens when thecurrent measured value has not changed compared to the measured value before the restart.
Thus the situation can arise where a number of alarm messages are sent regarding one limit value
violation, namely before and after the restart.
It is possible to change this behaviour by ticking the box to the extent that the Fieldgate canremember previously sent limit value messages and suppresses sending any further messages. Thisbehaviour is as follows:• The measured value is stored in a non-volatile memory at the point in time of the violation
if a limit value violation takes place while operating. Alarm messages are then sent as an e-mailor SMS depending on the configuration.
• Once the device is restarted the current measured value is compared with the last stored limit
value violation. No limit value violation is assumed if the current measured value lies within thelimit value range of the stored value and thus no alarm message is sent. If no limit value violation
occurred before the restart of the device, an alarm is sent as usual when the current measured
value undershot or exceeded a limit value.
Caution!
• No alarm message is sent in this mode if a restart of the system takes place before storing or
determining the limit value violation and before the device could send an alarm message (forexample due to interruption of the power supply).
• The Fieldgate is not capable of testing whether the recipient really received the alarm message.
• The user is responsible for the correct mail/SMS configuration.
Alarm Mail on Sensor Connect/Disconnect
If you activate this checkbox in the Administrator Mode (a "yes" appears in the User Mode), an email is sent as soon as the Fieldgate is no longer in contact with the device. The measured value last
determined is sent in another e-mail. Two other e-mails are sent as soon as contact is reestablished- one to confirm the connection and the other with the current measured value.

server fails, a new connection attempt is started after approx. 10 minutes. If the second connection
attempt also fails, the Fieldgate disconnects from the GPRS network and then tries again to connect
to the GPRS network.
This periodic test connection should be used in the following case:• Sometimes the Fieldgate does not disconnect from the GPRS network in the usual way and, after
longer waiting periods, can no longer be contacted using the current IP address and can becontacted again only after a reset. In this case, ensure that you check the connection to theFieldgate using the latest IP address of the Fieldgate.

GPRS Configuration

L00-FXAY2Kxx-20-13-00-en-410

GPRS (General Packet Radio Services) is a mobile communications technique, which exploits theadvantages of packet-oriented data transmission and channel bundling.
Different from normal GSM connections, no complete channel is reserved for the duration of theconnection between the mobile device and the basis station, rather the data is packed into packets,
which can be sent depending on requirement and capacity. Data transmission in packets enables
not only greater transmission rates but also Always-on-operation. The Fieldgate is thus permanently
in a position to connect to the Internet, an Intranet or a mailbox, whereby data is only transferred
as required if a new e-mail is sent or a new Internet page is called up. Here, you are only charged
for the amount of data actually transmitted (and not for connection time).
The GPRS mode of the Fieldgate GSM thus offers the easiest and most cost-effective option forconnecting a measuring point permanently to the Internet or an Intranet. Thanks to Always-onoperation, the WAP functions (→ Chap. 12) of the Fieldgate can also be used easily and costeffectively.
Note!
Support for WAP interrogation to the Fieldgate in GPRS mode is not offered by every provider. The
Fieldgate cannot compose an SMS in this mode.
GPRS (General Packet Radio Services) is a mobile communications technique, which exploits theadvantages of packet-oriented data transmission and channel bundling.

only transferred as required if a new e-mail is sent or a new Internet page is called up.
Thanks to Always-on-operation, the WAP functions (→ Chap. 12) of the Fieldgate can also be usedeasily and cost-effectively.
If a user wants to access the web pages of a Fieldgate from the Internet in GPRS Always-on
operation, the GSM/GPRS provider has to assign a public IP address. Clarify with the provider inquestion whether the provider offers such an additional service.
Alternatively, GPRS On Demand operation is also possible in which the Fieldgate only connects to
the GPRS network when needed (e.g. for sending an e-mail).
The GPRS mode of the Fieldgate GSM thus offers the easiest and most cost-effective option forconnecting a measuring point temporarily or permanently to the Internet or an Intranet.
GPRS-Dial In Permanently
The GPRS function can be switched on by activating the check box. After this, the Fieldgate
permanently attempts to connect to a specified mobile Internet Access Point (APN) via GPRS.
Previously saved connection parameters are used for this.
The following are some of the connection parameters:• Access Point Name or APN, the name of the mobile Internet access point of the mobile
communications provider• User name for the mobile Access Point• Password for the mobile Access Point• GPRS Quality of Service QoS Parameter

In most cases, GPRS connection parameters are already pre-configured on the SIM card, merely
GPRS user name and password still have to be specified in part. For questions regarding this, pleaseask your mobile communications provider.
If you cannot access the Fieldgate in GPRS mode, it is possible to deactivate the GPRS operation via
modem dial-in. To do this, proceed as follows:• Continue to dial into the Fieldgate using a modem until the connection is accepted. Afterwards,
the connection should be broken off immediately. At the first attempt, the connection is notestablished in the usual way, as the device is still in GPRS mode. Ideally, the device now switches
to Ready-to-receive mode for modem connections. You should now wait up to 2 minutes before
trying to dial in again.
• For approx. 5 minutes it is now possible to establish a direct modem connection to the Fieldgate.
During this time the Fieldgate can also send SMS messages.
• If a modem connection is established within these 5 minutes, GPRS mode is deactivated until the
specified control box is switched on again.
• If no modem connection is established within these 5 minutes, the Fieldgate switches back into
GPRS mode and connects to the configured Access Point (APN).
In certain circumstances, data connection (CSD) is not possible if using pure GPRS rates.
GPRS On Demand
In On Demand operation, the Fieldgate only connects to the GPRS network when it needs to sendan e-mail, optionally with simultaneous time server interrogation.
GPRS On Demand is activated if the check box under GPRS-Dial In Permanently is not selected andno provider is entered under ISP & Modem Configuration.
If a provider is entered here, all e-mails are transmitted using a modem connection via the provider
and not via GPRS.
No public IP address is needed for GPRS On Demand.
Advantages:• Low operating costs thanks to very short period spent in GPRS network for the time to send an
e-mail and interrogate the time server.
• No permanent operation in GPRS network (costs, security).
• No public IP address is needed.
• SMS alarms can be sent despite GPRS.
• Direct modem dial-in into Fieldgate is possible any time.
On Demand operation allows the use of GPRS card rates with a low monthly data volume included.
Note!
Fieldgates in GPRS On Demand mode cannot be accessed via the Internet.
Access Point Name APN
The Access Point of the mobile communications provider constitutes the GPRS Gateway to theInternet or Intranet for the Fieldgate. Enter the name of the Access Point here, which you receivefrom your mobile communications provider or leave the input field empty if the Access Point Name
pre-configured on the SIM card is to be used.

Internet access to Fieldgate
In order for you to be able to access the Fieldgate via the Internet, the device has to have a public
Internet address assigned to it by the provider.
Not all APNs of the mobile communications providers are suitable for transparent Internet access,meaning that the Fieldgate is not assigned a public Internet address. Fieldgate can only then beaccessed within the private mobile communications network but can mostly access the Internet
itself and send e-mails (GPRS On Demand).
If you want to access the Fieldgate from the Internet and have any problems, ask your provider for
an Access Point, which assigns public IP addresses to GPRS users when you log in and change thename and access parameters, if necessary.
Note!
Private IP addresses also allow the operation of the device as described in GPRS On Demand.
Note!
After every log-in, a new dynamic IP address is assigned to the Fieldgate, under which it can beaccessed, for example, on the Internet. The allocated address must be known to the user in order

Dynamic DNS Settings

In many applications, the Fieldgate has a dynamic IP address assigned to it if it is connected via aprovider to the Internet or via a company router to an Intranet. Dynamic IP addresses change
frequently, a new address is usually assigned each time you dial in or log in. The user requires thisIP address in order to be able to access the Fieldgate, e.g. with an Internet browser.
There are basically the following options for finding out the current IP address of the Fieldgate:• The Fieldgate sends a mail to the user (see "Mail assigned IP Address")• The user reads the assigned address on-site with the service cable (see "Modem-Log")
The options mentioned are however somewhat inconvenient and difficult to use. The dynamic
address management offers a simple solution by using a Dynamic Domain Name Service (DynDNS
or DDNS). Here, the Fieldgate is assigned a fixed name (Domain Name), under which it can always
be reached in future. DNS servers translated Domain Names into the valid IP addresses, DDNS
servers can also manage dynamic addresses.
Get DynDNS URL (http://)Every time you dial into the Internet, the Fieldgate has to inform the DDNS server of its current IP
address. For this, a HTTP-Get-Request is sent to the DDNS server and must be specified under "Get
DynDNS URL (http://)". The composition of the Get-Request is dependent on the DDNS providerused.
A known provider for this is, for example, www.DynDNS.org. Here, the request is composed asfollows:
http://username:password@members.dyndns.org/nic/update?system=dyndns&
hostname=yourhost.ourdomain.ext
myip=
Example:mboeh:mbo30165@members.dyndns.org/nic/update?system=dyndns=FXA520PT01.ath.cx=

L00-FXAY2Kxx-20-13-00-en-412

Update Cycle DynDNS
Various DDNS providers stipulate that the Fieldgate not only report to the DDNS server with thecurrent IP address once per Internet dial-in, rather cyclically, for example every half an hour, oncea day or once a week. The provider www.DynDNS.org does not require cyclic notification. Set therequired value here.
Note!
The dynamic DNS function only functions with DynDNS providers which can receive current IP
addresses on the basis of the HTTP-Get-Request described above.

L00-FXAx20xx-20-13-00-en-003

In this section, you set the scan options for determining the measured value.
Device Scan Cycle Time
Here, set how often the measured value should be determined. Choose between continuously and
up to one day.
You can set the update time using the periodic e-mail sending cycle. To do so, select "use e-mail/log cycle". In this case the measurement is not started until shortly before the next periodic e-mailso that the measured values in the e-mail are always up to date. In between e-mail times theconnected sensors are in power down mode.
Divece Power-up Time
Once the sensors have been powered up, it is necessary to wait a set amount of time until a stablemeasured value can be determined. This is known as the "Device Power-up Time". Here you set
the time which is required at maximum for the slowest measurement after powering up again or
which is determined by the slowest connected sensor.
Power Down Devices between Scan Cycles
If you enable this checkbox in the Administrator Mode (a "yes" appears in the User Mode), theintegrated all-or-nothing relay is opened between two measurements ("Device Scan Cycle Time")("Power Down Mode). If the checkbox is not enabled, the relay is de-energised in an alarm status.
This function can be used to switch off the sensor power supplies between the measurements inorder to save energy, e.g. for self-sufficient applications (Power Down Mode).
In addition, in the solar version the sensor power supply of the FXA320 is deactivated for bothchannels between the scan cycles. This may eliminate the use of additional relays for switching off
connected sensors.

WAP function

Wireless Application Protocol
The Wireless Application Protocol (WAP) is a standard for mobile end devices to access speciallyprogrammed Internet pages, in WML (Wireless Markup Language). This language has been
optimised for displaying text and simple graphics on small mobile phone displays. This provides you
with all services for mobile use.
Every Fieldgate can deliver information for WAP-capable mobile phones. This is done in the formof specially adapted WML pages with a restricted scope of functions. The WAP function is always
useful if the Fieldgate can be accessed with a public IP address on the Internet. The following are
examples of conceivable options:• Ethernet Fieldgate is connected to the Internet via a router• Analog Fieldgate is dialled into an ISP and is therefore connected to the Internet• GSM Fieldgate is dialled into an ISP and is therefore connected to the Internet• GSM Fieldgate is in "Always-on-operation" thanks to GPRS and has a public IP address

L00-FXA520xx-07-00-06-xx-002

Homepage of the Fieldgate WAP :To open the WAP homepage for the Fieldgate, use your mobile phone's WAP browser. The accessaddress (URL) is composed as follows:
http://<IP address or Domain Name>/index.wml
Example:http://www.fieldgate.de/index.wml or http://212.227.127.81/index.wml
How do I use WAP?
A WAP-capable mobile phone is required for using WAP. Virtually all of the devices available today
support this function. The mobile communications provider used must also offer the corresponding
service. If necessary, various settings have to be made on your mobile phone in order to use theservice. Please ask your mobile communications provider about this.
An additional requirement for using the WAP function of the Fieldgate is that basically all pages on
the Internet can be accessed via the WAP service of the mobile communications provider.

Data Logging

Fieldgate FXA520 has a data logging function for buffering measured values and events if a DAT
module with min. 256K memory is being used.
The DAT module value currently used can be read out under "DAT Module" (→ Page 112) in the"Hardware Configuration" area on the "Information & Configuration -> Information" page.
In contrast to the old 128K modules, new DAT modules with min. 256K memory have anadditional memory section for history data.
If such a DAT module is used, the functions for data logging are activated in the Fieldgate.
Note!
The data logging function can only be used if the time and date are parameterized in Fieldgate. For
this purpose, under "Information & Configuration -> Network Setup -> Time Server Configuration"please either enter a time server that can be accessed by Fieldgate or set the time manually.
The measured values of the connected sensors or the internal Fieldgate interfaces are saved in theform of data records in XML format. The logged data are also referred to as history data and can becalled up with history.xml or sent as an e-mail.

13.1

Structure and contents of the recorded data in the "history.xml" document

The history.xml document comprises a standard header with basic information on the Fieldgate andthe saved measured value data records arranged under this information.
Every measured value data record contains all the available measured value variables of theconnected transmitter or the internal interface with a time stamp. The time stamp indicates the timeof the measurement. Constant parameters, such as units, designations and limit values are notsaved.

13.1.1

Every measured value data record has the following elements in
its contents:

Example of data record with 2 measured values / device or interface:<device id="11070fb7f9"><vtime>20050601-073140</vtime><vtz>120</vtz><vstslvl>0</vstslvl><v1>988.65</v1><v2>20.56</v2></device>

History interrogation with user ID

With every interrogation, the history.xml document contains all the data records stored in thehistory memory in XML format.
If requested to only call up the latest history data saved since the last interrogation, several markers
can be used in the form of user IDs. Data already called up are not transmitted several times
unnecessarily.
By specifying a user ID it is thus possible to obtain individual views of the saved logging data.
Up to nine user IDs from 1-9 are available.
ExampleCalling up an individual view of the history data:"http://fieldgate.endress.com/history.xml?id=1"
Following every interrogation, the marker belonging to the ID is set at the end of the logging
memory so that only new data are displayed during the next call-up.

Data Logging

13.3

Time stamp with manual time entry

If it is not possible for the Fieldgate to automatically access a time server, the current time must beentered manually to be able to use the data logging function.
The current time is saved by Fieldgate every 10 minutes.
If the device is restarted, Fieldgate first tries to access the time server specified under "Information& Configuration -> Network Setup -> Time Server Configuration -> Time Server" in order to be able
to set the time automatically. If this is not possible, the time last saved before the device restart isused.
If the time last saved is used after restarting the device, there is a time difference between this time
and the real time. This is determined by the length of time the unit was without current. The"<vtbuf>1</vtbuf>" variable is added to the time stamp of the logged data records until the time
is manually or automatically updated. This tells the user/higher-order system that there is adifference between the Fieldgate time and the actual time.
Example:<device id="11070fb7f9"><vtime>20050601-093140</vtime><vtz>120</vtz><vtbuf>1</vtbuf><vstslvl>0</vstslvl><v1>902.33</v1><v2>21.16</v2></device>

Data Logging Email on

Periodic Measurement Mail
If you switch on this control box in Administrator mode (a "yes" appears in User mode), every timea measured value mail is sent, all the logged history data are sent to the recipients of the measured
values in the form of one or more separate mails in XML format.
Use this function if you want to cyclically send all the measured values recorded in the history overa specified period. The time interval is specified by the option selected under "Periodic
Measurement Mails".
Log Buffer FullIf you switch on this control box in Administrator mode (a "yes" appears in User mode), every time
the history memory overruns, its entire content is sent to the recipients of the measured values in
the form of several mails in XML format.
Use this function if you do not want to lose any measured values saved in the history in the eventof history overrun.
Device Event
If you switch on this control box in Administrator mode (a "yes" appears in User mode), every time
an event occurs, e.g. limit value violation or device errors, all the logged history data are sent to therecipients of the measured values in the form of one or more separate mails in XML format.
This function makes it possible to analyze all the measured values saved before the event occurred.
Note!
History data are always sent in XML format.

Types of e-mails

There are two different types of e-mails:• Measured value e-mails
These can be transmitted as XML, HTML or TEXT.
• Alarm e-mails
These are always very short and are in text format.
• History-E-Mails
These are always transmitted in XML format.
• Device Data-E-Mails
These can be transmitted as XML, HTML or TEXT.
The following is common to all e-mails: the subject contains text with the name of the Fieldgate,
then the reason for the e-mail and then a number:• "<fieldgate name> ": "<reason> " "<3-digit code> "e.g. "fxa320weather: Periodic Measurement 005"
Note!
The <device-tag> is also displayed for some alarm e-mails, e.g. "fxa320mdmdev: Leaving Limits:
LVLFLEX - 130".

Explanations and examples

15.2.1

Explanations• At system start-up, it is presumed that the measured values are within the specified limits. Thismeans that any measured value outside the limits at system start-up triggers an e-mail.
• At system start-up, it is presumed that the field device has the status ok/warning. This means thata device with an error condition at system start-up triggers an e-mail.
• Measured value e-mails can be completely suppressed by selecting "None " in "Network Setup/
Mail Configuration/Format Measurement Mails"; otherwise a measured value e-mail is generated
in the format selected for every event (e.g. Sensor Error, Leaving Limit, Periodic).
• The alarm e-mails with the codes "110 " and "111 " can be switched on and off via "Network
Setup/Mail Configuration/Alarm Mail on Sensor Connect/Disconnect".
• The alarm e-mails with the code "130" can be switched on and off individually via the device
settings for each device.
• The alarm e-mails with the code "131" can be switched on and off individually via the device
settings for each device.

Configuration/Mail Assigned IP Address".

15.2.2

Limit values

The limit values can be specified individually for each device.
If the "LowLow Limit" has not been specified, -∝ (ca - 1e38) is taken.
If the "HighHigh Limit" has not been specified, +∝ (ca + 1e38) is taken.
Depending on the information given above, an e-mail with the code "130 " and "030 " is triggered
if the measured value exceeds the "HighHigh Limit" if only the "HighHigh Limit" is specified, forexample; a similar situation applies for the "LowLow Limit".
Note!
Measured value e-mailing in the event of measured value changes should only be used as a point ofreference. Precise measurement of the measured value changes is not possible at present!

15.2.3

Saving the device settings

The device settings ("LowLow Limit" etc.) are constantly stored in the internal configuration
EEPROM and in the DAT-EEPROM.
If many different devices are connected to the Fieldgate over time, this can overtax the capacity of
the EEPROM. In such a situation, unrequired device settings are deleted until the settings can besaved again in the EEPROM.

Fieldgate Viewer gathers, saves and visualizes data from various Fieldgates distributed across acertain area. The data are gathered automatically by a Data Access Scheduler and stored in an SQL
history database. Measured values from different locations can be merged and displayed with a web
browser in tabular form, in the form of bar graphs or as line-based graphics.
Thanks to the fact that Fieldgate Viewer is network-enabled, the measured values displayed areavailable in the entire company via the internal company network. Every user with accessauthorization can view and visualize the data with a conventional web browser. No individual user
licences are required. Optionally, the visualization can be made available worldwide via theInternet. The Fieldgate portal software creates a secure VPN (virtual private network) connection
through the Internet firewall of the company, thereby facilitating secure access to the informationof the Fieldgate Viewer from the Internet.

Question

AnswerHow can I send an SMS with Fieldgate? (Analog/
Ethernet Version)

It is not possible to send an SMS directly from an analogue or
Ethernet Fieldgate. You have to go to a provider who, for example,
automatically sends an SMS when an e-mail arrives. Many
freemailers offer such services (e.g. t-email.de, directbox.com,
web.de etc.)
