descriPTION |
|---|---|
Server Address |
Informs the Schneider Server IP Address or URL. Ex: 10.196.5.4 |
API Client Key |
API Key, shall be defined at the Schneider DataLogger 4G Server Website, through the tab "API Clients - Generate API Key" |
API Secret |

New Site/Device Scan (s) |
Time interval used to update the driver Sites/Devices internal database, allowing new tags to be added during runtime. Let it 0 to disable. |
Max Delay for Bad Quality (s) |
Maximum Delay in seconds for a measure reading to be reported with Bad Quality. |
Site GPS Scan (s) |
In case of usage of special GPS latitude and longitude tags of a site, this field informs the update interval of this information. |
Use Secure Connection (HTTPS) |
If Schneider Server is on cloud, enable this option to use HTTPS protocol, instead of HTTP, which is used locally. |
Read Streams by Site - Scan (ms): |
Each device may contain a set of streams, which are the variables historical series. Streams can be read grouped by site or individually. Check this option to read the streams by site, and define an interval in ms for it. In this case, the first read operation after driver startup will request the current day values, and then new data will be requested starting from the newest timestamp received from the previous reading.
Let this option unchecked to read the streams individually, requesting in this case just the last (current) value on each tag scan. The reading interval in this case, will follow the scan time defined on each tag. |
Apply Local Time Zone for Timestamps |
Data received from Schneider Server are at UTC timezone. Check this option to convert to local timezone. |
Alternatively to the Property Window, these configurations can also be done in runtime from E3 or Elipse Power applications. For this, start the driver in Offline mode, i.e., execute the application with the option Start driver OFFLINE enabled, configurable through the Setup tab of the Property Window. The configuration options are described below.
