side and establishes the connection periodically and/or whenever a change in a sensor value
exceeds the configured AutoPush value.
The www.SensDesk.com portal connection parameters are filled in.
AutoPush configuration
Poseidon2 connects to the portal and notifies a value
change whenever a change in the sensor reading
exceeds the configured AutoPush value.
This configuration only applies to the communication
between Poseidon2 and the online portal. Local
alarm values are configured in the portal.

Sensors
After connecting sensors or changing RJ11 connections, sensors need to be detected again.
NOTE: Configuration changes must be confirmed by clicking the Apply Changes button.
Sensor name will be shown
in e-mails, text messages,
or SNMP traps
Sends a SNMP trap if the “Safe
Range” for this sensor is
exceeded
Scans connected sensors and
displays detected sensors
Sends an E-mail if the “Safe
Range” for this sensor is
exceeded
Sends a text message (SMS) if
the “Safe Range” for this sensor is
exceeded
Range of allowed values. If
exceeded, alarm is signaled.
To avoid numerous false alerts
(by e-mail or SMS) whenever the reading
fluctuates around the threshold,
you can use:
1) Hysteresis Idle Range
Tolerance band around the
“Safe Range”. Prevents
multiple alarm alerts.
2) Delay [s]
Delays the information about
alarm beginning and alarm
end bya specified time. Can be used fordry contacts, too.
Tip: For details, see the complete “Poseidon family” manual.

Communication Monitor
This function is useful e.g. to send a warning e-mail whenever Poseidon2 ceases to be periodically
monitored over SNMP or SCADA.
This function controls a virtual Digital Input that is available in Inputs as “Com Monitor 1” with an ID
of 123. If no communication took place in the specified time using the selected protocols, it sets “Com
Monitor 1” = 0 (Off).
If three protocols are selected, all 3 conditions must be met for the OK state.

Connecting the sensors
1-Wire Bus (RJ11) sensors
Connect the sensor before powering up the Poseidon - the connector
must click in.
Max distance per active port is 60m.
Sensors can be daisy-chained.
Sensors can be also connected using a star topology with the T-Box
(TBox2) hub.
After any change in the connected sensors an autodetection has to be run again.
(WWW interface > Sensors > Autodetect sensors )
Max
distance
60m.

RS-485 (RJ45) sensors
Industrial bus for connecting sensors over longer distances
Connect the sensors before powering up the unit.
Sensors can be daisy-chained, or connected to a virtual star using
the “S-Hub” unit.
Terminate the RS-485 line with a 120 Ω to 470 Ω terminator. Some
sensors (e.g. Temp-485) contain a built-in terminator controlled with
a jumper or a DIP switch (TERM = ON). See the sensor manual.
Check or set the sensor address. Each sensor on the RS-485 bus must have an unique
address. The address (ID) is expressed as a letter (A..Z / a..z) or a number (65..122). The
numbers correspond to the ASCII codes of the letters, A=65, Z=90, a=97, z=122.
More details on setting up the address in sensor manuals.
After any change in the connected sensors an autodetection has to be run again.
(WWW interface > Sensors > Autodetect sensors )
Sensors are shipped with non-conflicting addresses whenever possible. The preset address is written
on the label.
Note: A particular sensor is identified by its RS-485 address. Sensors with the same
address can be swapped without the need for a new detection.

Common features of Poseidon2 family
Displayed readings options
The Poseidon2 unit displays current readings from all connected sensors.
Dry contact inputs are scanned approximately every 200ms.
Values from all sensors on both buses (RS-485 and 1W bus) are read in a single loop that
repeats once per second; however, the actual time needed to read the sensors may vary
from 1 to 30 seconds
All values are in the “integer/10” format, range is ±999.9.
A value of 999.9 is out of range for all supported sensors and indicates that the sensor was
not found.
If you have disconnected or replaced a sensor, run sensor autodetection, or remove
the sensor from the list.
When the Poseidon2 unit is overloaded with network requests (as is sometimes the
case, for example, with our public online demo), -999.9 can sometimes appear even
though the sensor works properly. This is due to limited computing performance of the
unit. Try to reduce the load.
Units are assigned to values automatically according to the detected sensor type. Supported
units include:
Temperature: °C, °K, °F
(please note that Safe Range thresholds can be set in °C only)
Humidity: %RH
Voltage: V, current: A or mA
Other units: %, etc...
Input / sensor in alarm state
Alarm state can be set independently for every input (contact) / sensor.
For a sensor, “Alarm” occurs whenever the reading is outside of the specified Safe Range,
as long as alarm alerting is enabled for at least one notification method (SNMP / e-mail &
SMS).
Response to a sensor being disconnected
-999.9 is displayed
The value evaluates as an “Alarm” (reading out of the specified Safe Range). If alarm
alerting is enabled for the given sensor, e-mail or SNMP trap is sent.
•More information about data formats, variables
identification and SDK can be found in Thorough Poseidon
family manual.
