Info

For SmartServer 4.1 and prior, see (Optional) Create a LON Interface for a Modbus Device (Release 4.1 and Prior).

The SmartServer IoT can be used on an LNS network that is managed by the IzoT Commissioning Tool (CT), or other IzoT Net Server  or LNS tool. This section describes how to make Modbus RTU data updates available as network variables in an LNS network.

Configuring the SmartServer IoT

To configure the SmartServer IoT settings for Modbus IMM,

...

follow these steps:

  1. Open the SmartServer Configuration page as described in Accessing the SmartServer Configuration PageThe Network tab appears as the default SmartServer Configuration page. Once the network settings are configured for the SmartServer system, then the System tab will appear as the default.

  11. From the Devices widget, switch the LON management mode to LON Independent Management Mode (IMM).

See Configure Your SmartServer for more information about accessing and using the SmartServer configuration UI.  Additional information about defining the Modbus configuration settings is provided in sections (Optional) Remotely Accessing the IAP/MQ Server and (Optional) Add a LON Interface /wiki/spaces/TEMP/pages/1481252.

Continue setting up Modbus IMM following the steps in the section below: Installing SmartServer IoT Files

Installing SmartServer IoT Files

  1. From the Device Types widget, Use the CMS Import / Export button (Image Added ) to import the internal LON application DTP file.

  2. Connect to the SmartServer IoT via FTP.

  3. In the /var/apollo/data/ directory, create a new directory called apps and a subdirectory under apps, where SmartServer IoT internal application files will be copied using the following commands:
    1. package.json
    2. package-lock.json
    3. <internalApp>.js

  4. Copy the <internalApp>.conf file into the /etc/supervisor/conf.d directory.

  5. If your SmartServer IoT has internet access, from the SmartServer console (as described in the section Connecting to Your SmartServer), navigate to the newly created internal app directory and enter the npminstall command to add the node packages required for this application.

    or 

    If your SmartServer IoT does not have internet access, use FTP to copy the entire node_modules folder into the SmartServer IoT internal application directory.

...

Starting the SmartServer IoT Internal Application

...

It is best practice is to design the SmartServer IoT internal application to delay its startup by 5 minutes when running as a service. Doing so allows time for dependent applications, like the CMS, to execute.  

  1. From the console, reboot the SmartServer IoT by typing

    the sudo reboot command.

    the following command:

    Code Block
    sudo reboot


  2. Once the SmartServer IoT console has restarted, verify that the Internal App is running by typing the sudo supervisorctl command.

  3. Exit  supervisorctl by pressing control-c

...

  1. Launch the LonWorks Interfaces (32-bit) control panel applet on your Windows PC.



  2. Using the LonWorks Interfaces applet, add a new IP-852 interface. 

  3. Define an IP-852 VNI interface that will be used by IzoT CT in the LonWorks Interfaces applet.

  4. Launch the EnOcean IP-852 Configuration Server. 

  5. Create or open an existing IzoT CT network and attach to the defined IP-852 interface that is on the same IP-852 channel as the SmartServer IoT.

  6. Set the Management Mode to OnNet.

  7. Verify that the Channel Properties of the opened network is set to IP-852.

  8. Create and add new IP-70 channel that represents the internal IP-70 channel.

  9. Add a new router object to the drawing connecting the IP-852 channel to the newly defined IP-70 channel.

  10. Return to the SmartServer IoT LON Configuration page /wiki/spaces/TEMP/pages/1481252.

  11. Click IP-852 Router Configuration → Service/Connect → Send to button to generate service connect messages for commissioning the router.

  12. Drop a device on the IP-70 channel and commission it using the SmartServer IoT XIF and the LON Configuration /wiki/spaces/TEMP/pages/1481252 page Service/Connect → Send button button.

  13. Drop a device on the IP-70 channel and commission it using the SmartServer internal application XIF file to expose the datapoints on the LON network.
    At this point, the outputs for the LON datapoints on the SmartServer IoT internal application device should be active and populating live datapoints.
