Digital Inputs

The ReadyEdge has six(6) Digital Input connections. Digital Inputs detect low-resistance, “dry contact” open/close circuit signals. The ReadyEdge detects whether the digital input is in the open state or if the input is shorted , aka the closed state. Devices like smoke detectors, door sensors, or even a simple mechanical switch can be connected to a digital input. Each input is assigned a custom name and programmed to set Alerts on specific events.

 NOTE: A Digital Input may be used as the AGS generator feedback signal, but only Digital Input 1 may be used for this purpose.

Step 1

For each input, specify a custom text label. This short descriptor will be used throughout the ReadyEdge user interface.

Step 2

Set the Alert condition as follows:

Never

no alert is sent when the Digital Input changes state

On Active

alert is sent when the input changes from open to shorted

On Inactive

alert is sent when the input changes from shorted to open

On Change

alert is sent each time the input changes state (open to short, short to open)

Step 3

Enable/Disable Auto-clear alerts.

Disabled

An alert condition is set when the Alert Condition becomes true (On Active or On Inactive) and remains set until the user manually clears the Alert.

Enabled

An alert condition is set when the Alert Condition becomes true (On Active or On Inactive) and automatically clears when the alert condition is no longer true. This setting does not apply to “On Change” condition.

Alerts can be manually cleared in the following ways:

  1. Use the LiveView dashboard Digital Inputs card: Click the “Clear” button next to the corresponding digital input (see screenshot below)

  2. Send a MODBUS coil write command to the Clear Alert register

  3. SNMP set of the clearAlert OID

DC Inputs

Assign short descriptions to each DC voltage measurement used. This short descriptor will be used throughout the ReadyEdge user interface.

Tank Sensor

Step 1

Choose between the SAE/North American or European resistive tank sensor standard.

Step 2 - Optional

Set an Alert threshold for low tank level

Remote Temperature Sensors

Assign short descriptions to each temperature measurement used. This short descriptor will be used throughout the ReadyEdge user interface.
