Prepare some required devices as below
01x A window PC
01x USB-RS485 Configuration Cable
01x Power adapter 12-24VDC
Download the Configuration software in the link
Step 2: Hardware connection
- Connect the USB-A to the PC
- Connect M12 female of the cable to the iConnector
- Power the iConnector on by connecting DC jack from Power Adapter
The above steps must be performed in order
Step 3: Configuration the iConnector via iConfig software
- Open the iConfig software, then choose Correct Port, BaudRate and Parity.
Port is based on the PC
BaudRate is 9600
Parity is NONE
(1) There are 11 configuration tabs on the top banner. Click a tab name to navigate to the corresponding sheet.
(2) The first column displays the parameter names of the iConnector.
(3) The second column shows the current values of the corresponding parameters
(4) The third column is where users can input new configuration values.
(5) After entering the new configuration in the third column, users must tick the corresponding checkbox to apply it. The tick will disappear once the new configuration is successfully written to the iConnector. After that, the updated value will appear in the second column.
1.2 Get iConnector information for Globiots configurations
- Click tab Device, get basic information of the iConnector to register it into Daviteq Platform including Serial number & FCC. Note out this information for later iConnector registration on Globiots
1.3 Configuration network parameters for iConnector
* There are many parameters of iConnector to be configured before using.
* However, most of the parameters were configured by the manufacturer.
1.3.1 Configure Globiots server for iConnector
- Click tab UPD_SERVER, input the UDP_SERVER_HOST in the Value defined by user column, then click the check box "Sync" at that row to allow the data to be written to iConnector. Once written successfully, you will see the same data on the "Value" Column.

- Register the iConnector into Globiots
- RIGHT-CLICK on the corresponding site in the Organization Chart => New=>Device
-
- There are some fields must be configured, including Name, Serial number, Device ID, FCC, Memmap, Logging send frequency, Health send frequency. After the fields were configured => Click Save button
Fields Description Name Optional name, must be 12 characters Serial number Serial number of iConnector
*Taken from step 1.2Device ID Click Generate button in the software FCC FCC of iConnector
*Taken from step 1.2Memmap Choose 4.1.4-9600-RD1 Logging send frequency Choose 5 minutes Health send frequency Choose 5 minutes
- There are some fields must be configured, including Name, Serial number, Device ID, FCC, Memmap, Logging send frequency, Health send frequency. After the fields were configured => Click Save button
1.6 Check iConnector connection on Globiots
- After configure successfully (step 1.1-1.4), the iConnector will connect to Globiots server automatically;
- The LED Network on iConnector will be 1Hz flashing
- Using the provided account of Globiots server, log in to the Globiots system to check the status of iConnector;
+ If connected, the iConnector icon on Organization Chart section will be Blue color;
+ If not connected, the icon is still Grey color;
The iConnector must be powered by configuration tool during this process
II. iConnector Installation and Wiring
2.1 Installation location
Depend on what kind of iConnector, the location of installation will be considered carefully.
2.1.1 if the iConnector has built-in Sub-GHz Wireless Co-ordinator or Wireless Bridge:
To maximize the distance of transmission between Sub-GHz wireless sensor and iConnector, the ideal condition is Line-of-sight (LOS) between the Wireless sensor and iConnector. In real life, there may be no LOS condition. However, the Wireless sensor still communicates with iConnector, but the distance will be reduced significantly.
- The antenna of Sub-GHz Wireless Co-ordinator of Wireless Bridge must be placed above ground as high as possible, not lower than 2m. We recommend the minimum is 4m;
- It's better to place the antenna outdoor, on top of the roof of building, house, warehouse...;
- It's not good if the antenna is place indoor but the wireless sensor is outdoor;
- Only when all the wireless sensors are indoor, then you can place the antenna of wireless co-ordinator indoor, too;
ATTENTION:
DO NOT install the Wireless sensor or its antenna inside a completed metallic box or housing, because the RF signal can not pass through the metallic wall. The housing is made from Non-metallic materials like plastic, glass, wood, leather, concrete, cement…is acceptable.
2.1.2 if the iConnector has Cellular connectivity like 2G, 3G or 4G:
- We highly recommend to install the iConnector outdoor or outside of the cabinet so that it can have strong signal of cellular;
- Do not put iConnector inside a metallic box as the cellular can not go thru the metal sheets;
- Incase the iConnector must be place inside a box for better protection, please use the box with plastic materials like ABS, ASA, Polycarbonate, Fiber Glass...
2.1.3 if the iConnector has WiFi connectivity:
- We highly recommend to install the iConnector at the place has strong coverage of WiFi signal;
- Do not put iConnector inside a metallic box as the WiFi signal can not go thru the metal sheets;
- Incase the iConnector must be place inside a box for better protection, please use the box with plastic materials like ABS, ASA, Polycarbonate, Fiber Glass...
2.1.4 if the iConnector has Ethernet connectivity:
- We highly recommend to install the iConnector at the place for easy access and check LED status
2.2 Mounting bracket for installation
2.2.1 Cellular iConnector:
- The mounting bracket is made from hard metallic material. Following to these steps as the below picture
2.2.2 WIFI and Ethernet iConnector:
- There are 02 holes for screwing at the left and right of housing.
- These holes are covered by the cover.
- Open the cover, you can access the hole for screwing.
- Using screw with size 4mm diameter maximum.
2.3 Wiring
2.3.1 Wiring for wired slave device
Connect the modbus RTU slaves to the iConnector via RS485 protocol. Pin 2 is RS485+ (A), Pin 4 is RS485- (B)

Condition Name: Name of condition
Condition Type: Type of condition. There are 3 types of condition
+ Type 1: 01- Parameter vs constant: Compare value of parameter to constant
+ Type 2: 02-parameter vs parameter: Compare value of parameter to value of another parameter
+ Type 3: 03- Parameter (bit) vs constant: Compare value of bit complex of parameter to constant
Condition: Compare value of a parameter to constant or value of a parameter to value of another parameter. Compare Operators are less than, less than or equal to, equal to, not equal, greater than, greater than or equal to

o Edit: click to edit condition of event
o Delete: click to delete a condition of event
Note:
Each Event have maximum 8 conditions
After configure Event, you must synchronized (refer to 5.11 Synchronize Device for more details)
Example:
Configure Event to create parameter Power Status:
Power Status =1 when iConnector Power Supply > 8 VDC and Main Meter Error=0 in
more than 2s.
Power Status=0 when iConnector Power Supply <=8 and Main Meter Error=0 in more
than 3 s.
When event occur, event will be sent to server
Configuration for this event, condition and action as follow:
For schedule written to HMI slave device every 8 second, the event configuration as below:
- Condition:
Condition type: Use condition type 3 (Parameter (bit) vs constant: Compare value of bit complex of parameter to constant), bit 3
Condition parameter: iConnector second parameter will be use
- Action:
Action type: Use action type 3: Action to assign value of source parameter to value of destination parameter if condition is true
Source parameter: Parameters from slave devices except HMI slave device
Destination parameter: Parameter to HMI slave device
