Power Monitoring via SNMP (or Modbus TCP)

Data point mapping

Feel free to enter a device name for your node, and click Update. As you scroll through the list of variables with the Next and Prev buttons, you should see all of the network variables contained in the LonWorks device listed here.

Now you will begin the process of deciding which LonWorks variables you wish to make accessible via Modbus/TCP or SNMP, or via the local web pages for use in threshold rules, etc. Go down the list, and check the “mapped” check box for those variables you want to “keep”. The remaining variables in the list will eventually get discarded.

Advanced setup: If the LON device includes structures or manufacturer defined variables, you will need to click on the NV number in the left column to go to the expanded view for that variable. You will need to derive your own raw interpretation of any structured or non-standard network variables. The WattNode, and any Control Solutions LonWorks devices, all use scalar, standard network variable types which do not require any of this advanced setup. It should be noted, however, that the SNVT_obj_request and SNVT_obj_status are structures. You do not have any use for these when not on a LonWorks network. Simply choose to not map them.

Once you have selected the variables of interest and checked the “map” box, click the Auto Allocate button. This will automatically assign register numbers to all mapped variables. Upon doing this, the yellow COM LED on the Babel Buster X2 will begin blinking, indicating that it is polling the WattNode or other LON device.
