Utility Power Monitoring
via SNMP
The combination of i.Board2 and WattNode create a cost effective tool for monitoring utility or backup power via SNMP. Measure true RMS power, voltage, current, power factor, reactive power, peak demand, all accessible via SNMP Get. Generate SNMP traps on loss of power or excess peak demand. Also monitor your generator, ATS, and other equipment that interfaces via Modbus TCP or RTU. All interface points are accessible via SNMP with v2c trap capability.

A very quick tutorial on setting up SNMP Traps in i.CanDoIt®
I/O point data is placed in "registers" by easily configured I/O drivers. Each register is accessible by standard SNMP Get and Set requests. In addition, threshold "rules" determine when traps are sent. The image below is an actual screen shot of a threshold rule that will result in a trap when the sensor on input #7 exceeds a level of 1000. Data values are scaled to any units you decide.
Additional configuration pages allow setting the IP address or Host Name of one or more SNMP managers that v2c traps are to be sent to. Traps may be repeated periodically for as long as the rule tests true. Trap data includes the register name and number, data value that caused the trap, the event name, test type, and test threshold.

| Wait a minute, where's SNMP Control?
We are so accustomed to being asked about monitoring, we sometimes forget that some customers are looking for ways to do control via SNMP, like simply turn on a relay with a Set request. Everything shown on this page is just as capable of control as it is monitoring. Discrete inputs may be read with a Get, and discrete outputs (relays) may be written with a Set. Likewise, analog inputs may be read with a Get, and analog outputs may be written with a Set.
