Hi,
I have some questions for the machine uptime counters. I am retro fitting an optical sensor and wanted to confirm the wiring :
- This is my device
Will it correlate to this wiring color for color?
-
I was under the impression that I would have 2 pin connectors, but the device only. came with 1. Can I move the ribbon from the current to opto connector using the same rest of hardware?
-
Is it possible to reset the counter via MQTT or what is the way to reset this device remotely without having to be logged into redzone?
Hi @danempiric sure, let me break it down:
1.The diagram for the opto sensor is provided below:
pin ID 1 (Brown) --> Opto Signal
pin ID 5 (Gray) --> Opto Power
PIN ID 3 and 4 (Blue and Black) --> Short
I share you a image as reference:
2.Yes, the single-channel version of the sensor supports Optical Sensor/Digital Input wiring. I’ve shared an example below:
3.Yes, you can use MQTT to transmit sensor parameters, but you’ll need to wait for the next FLY message to apply the changes.
Let me outline the available reset options for the sensor:
Reset Timeout: This parameter allows you to set a timeout period after which the sensor resets automatically, eliminating the need to access Node-RED for each reset after initial configuration.
Shift Times: The sensor supports up to four shift times, where you can specify an hour and minute for automatic resets. You can configure one or all four as needed.
To choose a reset method, use the sensor’s reset mode setting to select the appropriate option.
Please take a look at this and feel free to let us know if you have any questions.
Thank you,
Eduardo M.
