MinoConnect/MinoConnectRadio
Short description of the universal ZENNER interface for mobile remote read-out
Introduction
The MinoConnect transmission device serves for
remote reading and configuration of the consuming
appliances respective M-Bus or radio systems either
by means of optohead, serial interface or via radio.
MinoConnect partially replaces the cable connection
between a serial device and a PDA/PC by a Bluetooth
connection.
Devices that can be connected via RS232 with SubD
9 Plug to a computer can now be connected to
MinoConnect. The further connection to the PC/PDA
is then via Bluetooth. To be able to use the device,
ZENNER MSS software must be used.
Walk-by application: It is possible to receive data
protocols with MinoConnectRadio without using
MSS-Software.
For reading and configuration of meters with radio
interface (e.g. wM-Bus) ZENNER offers various
software solutions (MeterReaderLight). Before first
commissioning of the device, please insert the two
supplied batteries (NiMH 1.2V min. 2.700 mAh) with
States and actions
For a better view, but also for the diagnosis and possibly error detection in a system, MinoConnect shows the
most important states and actions with 7 coloured LED:
