Appendix E. CR510PB w/ P190s to
CR205s Network
In this configuration LoggerNet does 15 minute scheduled collections of a
remote CR510XPB running P190s to transfer variable values from 5 remote
CR205s. This approach results in the fastest data transfer compared to P193
and LoggerNet direct collection of CR205s.
The P190 instruction which has the CR205’s address does device discovery in
this configuration. One P190 is required for each remote.
The higher data throughput of the P190 configuration is due to the fact that one
P190 will continue to the next P190 as soon as it gets a response from the
remote. The asynchronous P190 transmissions require the CR205s to always
have their radios on resulting in higher remote power budgets compared to the
P193 approach.
There are no nodes beaconing in this configuration. LoggerNet needs no
beacon as it can discover the CR510PB using the static route from its device
map. When LoggerNet is first run, having no beacon configured it will be
unaware of the CR510PB. But when they first connect they will do a hello
exchange, swap neighbor lists, and become neighbors. LoggerNet can
thereafter communicate with any node in the network. LoggerNet will keep the
CR510PB as a neighbor until LoggerNet is closed or its router reset.
Monitoring of a CR205’s received signal strength is shown.
