3. Performance features
3.1. General
The gateway LubMon Connect is a remote gateway for the connection of ARGO-HYTOS sensors
via a CANopen interface. The data of the connected sensors is automatically transmitted to a web
database, and can be displayed and exported using a web page.
Figure 3.1: LubMon Connect
Using the CAN bus and the CANopen protocol provides a simple, robust way to integrate the
sensors into existing systems and to guarantee secure communication.
For communication with the Internet, the gateway provides an integrated Ethernet interface and an
integrated GSM module. Communication can either take place via the local network, or, in the case
of mobile or remote systems, using the highly developed global GSM network.
3.2. Data loggers
LubMon Connect Communicates with a server on the Internet that is able to store all incoming
data at programmable time intervals. The data can either be visualised online in graph form or
exported for subsequent analyses. A data storage capacity of 100,000 records is available for each
LubMon Connect. Once the memory has been exhausted, the oldest records are deleted
automatically.

7. Commissioning the gateway
Verify that the device has been correctly installed and is securely connected to mains. The
stipulations specified in Chapter 4.1, Chapter 5 and Chapter 6 must be satisfied for proper gateway
functionality.
Gateway commissioning using the Ethernet interface and GMS connection is described below.
7.1. Data transmission
Depending on the infrastructure available, the gateway can be connected to the Internet either
using a corporate network (Ethernet) or wireless network (GSM). Generally speaking, no additional
costs are incurred when connecting via Ethernet, since the transferred data volumes are relatively
small and will hardly make a difference in terms of the overall flow of data across a corporate
network. However, it may be necessary to adapt the corporate network or the firewall and/or router.
When connecting via GSM, a mobile phone card (what is referred to as a SIM card) and
corresponding service contract is required to enable data transmission. Moreover, in this case the
gateway needs to be installed so as to enable a wireless connection to the GSM network.
7.2. Connecting sensors to the gateway
The gateway communicates with the sensors of the CAN bus using the CANopen protocol. When
connecting the sensor to the CAN bus, the cable specified for this purpose must be used in order
to ensure reliable communication over the bus.
For details regarding how to configure the CANopen interface of the sensors used, please see the
respective product manual. Make sure that the sensor's CANopen communication is activated and
that different node IDs and identical baud rates have been configured. No additional expertise
regarding CAN/CANopen is needed to configure and operate the sensors using LubMon Connect.

7.3. Configuring gateway communication
The tool "Ethernet_Config.exe" can be used to make basic configuration adjustments on the
gateway. These adjustments are required to be able to send data to the web database over the
gateway (cf.: Figure 7.2).
Figure 7.2: "Ethernet_Config.exe " tool for configuring the gateway.
a) Click "Search". All the gateways found will be listed in the upper area.
b) Click on the gateway to be configured to load all the settings from the gateway and transfer
them into the fields below.
The individual settings adjustments can now be made on the gateway. The settings are organised
by topic on the tabs "Ethernet", "Remote portal" and "GSM" (cf.: Figure 7.3). The tabs are
addressed in greater detail below.
NOTE:
For the configuration of the GSM interface, the LubMon Connect must be connected to a
computer via Ethernet. After the configuration is done, there is no more cable connection
necessary for data transmission.

Figure 7.3: View after selecting the gateway, "Ethernet" area.
No forwarder is required for the gateway to communicate with the web portal, since all
communication proceeds from the gateway. However, any firewall present on the network must
permit the following communication:
UDP packet from gateway port 8002 to port 22463 on the portal argohytos.remoteportal.de
(current static IP: 85.214.134.214).
Portal's UDP response packet from portal port 22463 to gateway portal 8002.
"Ethernet" area
Field
Meaning
DHCP active
If this option is active, the gateway retrieves the network settings from a
DHCP server on the existing network
IP (only if DHCP is not
active)
This is the gateway's IP on the network. In case of a fixed IP, it is
important that the gateway is entered correctly and that both DNS
servers are filled in correctly, since otherwise it will not be possible to
send the packets to the portal. If there is only one DNS server, it should
be entered in both fields.
Gateway (only if
DHCP is not active)
The gateway is needed if packets are sent to recipients not located
within its own subnet.

Commissioning the gateway
17
Netmask (only if
DHCP is not active)
The subnetmask is needed in order to find which part of the IPs has to
be identical in order to belong to the corresponding subnet.
DNS1/DNS2 (only if
DHCP is not active)
The DNS server(s) serve(s) to resolve Internet addresses. If there is
only one DNS server, it should be entered in both fields.
Port
This port is used for application-dependent gateway configuration. This
setting can normally be retained.
Password
The password is needed in order to be able to access the gateway via
Ethernet. This is meant to prevent unauthorised access to the gateway
over the Internet.
Secure UDP
If this option is active, the correct password needs to be entered under
"Release" for each configuration setting (also using this tool) in order to
be able to access the configuration.
Table 7.2: Settings for the "Ethernet" area
The settings for the remote portal are illustrated in Figure 7.4 and explained in detail in Table 7.3.
Figure 7.4: View after selecting the gateway, "Remote portal" area

Commissioning the gateway
18
"Remote portal" area
Field
Meaning
Remote portal active
If this option is active, the remote interface sends packets to the portal
at defined time intervals.
Server
The portal packets are sent to this server. The web address or an IP
can be configured here (if there is a DNS server).
Port
This is the port on which the portal accepts packets from the remote
interface.
Communication rate
Packets are sent to the portal at this time interval when no user is
logged on.
Online rate
Packets are sent to the portal at this time interval when a user is logged
on. This allows value changes and configuration changes to be
communicated more quickly.
Remote portal reset
If this button is activated, portal access is reset. But BE CAREFUL,
because doing so has far-reaching consequences:
1. All personal settings will be lost
2. All data records, views and alerts will be deleted
3. Any modified initial password will be reset to the as-delivered
state
Credit and rights will be retained.
This function allows portal access to be reset if e.g.:
1. The remote interface changes operating site (e.g. new system)
2. No individual user password has been configured, and the initial
password (system password) has been changed and lost

The modified configuration can be imported to the gateway using the "Set complete configuration"
button. If "Secure UDP" is active, the password for it also needs to be entered in "Release". After
successful configuration and running "Search" again, it is recommended that the configuration in
the gateway is reviewed once more.
7.4. Application dependent gateway configuration
The tool "RI_Config.exe" can be used to make application-dependent configuration adjustments
on the gateway. These settings are needed for application-specific operation. Prior to
configuration, the LubMon Connect firmware version needs to be selected. Firmware version
0.60.2 and lower does not offer support for the LubCos Vis+ sensor. The configuration depends
on the firmware version of the LubMon Connect you are using.
