How to build new driver communication GPRS to Mango M2M
-
Recently acquired a GSM GPRS Remote Controller unit from China , consisting of input ports (analog and digital) and output ports (relay) that collect data for all variables recorded by other small devices called sensors . We have several types of sensors on the market include voltage sensors , current , temperature , magnetic sensor, presence sensor and others. This device has a GPRS interface, a type of data connection offered by network operators of GSM phones , which sends all the data captured by the sensors for different types of free - WEB SERVER existing in the market which are supervisory servers intended to receive the data from GSM GPRS Remote Controller and provide these data to system users . Among them are the ScadaBR ( supervisory Brazil) MANGO M2M SCADA , OpenScada , Server OPC , SCADA , among others , all work on Linux and Windows platform . The manufacturer of this device says I need to hire a professional to develop the drivers that will be used in the SERVER supervisory of mine choice so that the operating system sees the presence and can communicate with the hardware which recently acquired . To complicate matters, according to the manufacturer , this unit is not compatible with many existing standard drivers such as MODBUS TCP / IP and others that run on different platforms . All sensors mentioned work very well with the unit , whose variables are read briefly when we use the command by SMS message, but in time to integrate these variables to pass to the SERVER by a GPRS internet connection is not possible because there is no protocol active communication that enables the acquisition and storage of data on SERVER . My problem: I don´t have drive communication between connection GPRS of unit with software SCADA, do not exist driver module installed in SCADA been compatible with unit that use GPRS internet connection.
All sensor I am using in test are running very well with unit, the datas registers from variables analogic and digital are read by command SMS when sent to unit and show your value real time.Specification GSM GPRS Remote Controller

1000 gI would like to add a new "driver" for my data source in Mango, so I'm wanna to get someone that know build this new driver for solver my problem.
If you have any driver compatible with GSM GPRS Remote Controller and desire test my unit say me just IP and port your SERVER for see and verify it running well. I put new datas in setting GPRS from unit. -
We would be very interested to develop the driver for this device. It sounds like it is designed to communicate using it's own protocol. We would need some documentation and examples of the protocol to give you an estimate of cost. Please send any information you can.

Hi Joel
I am glad to count your help, what the information do you need, please say me more detail that keep contacts with the manufacturer request more information detailed.
I have just user manual device GSM GPRS Remote Controller, if desire I can send link this document for you.
For download user manual see link below.

I have read through the user manual but don't see the documentation on their protocol. I'll email the manufacture and see if I can get what I need.
Thanks,

Hi Joel
I have some email staff from manufacturer King Pigeon, please, contact with them.

Hi Guys
Did you both come a bit further with this issue.
If so i would like to now it.best regards

unfortunately I could never get clear documentation on their protocol so didn't take it any further.

I have a sales contact at King Pigeon (or rather, a guy that spams me every few weeks). I asked for the protocol specification and received this document:
Not very helpful, so I have requested info on the 'wellinview' protocol that is being used.
-
I've been through all the same documentation. The problem is there is no clean explanation of how it communicates to a third party system like Mango. I've asked for an example TCP packet structure but they don't seem to understand what that means. All their documentation is geared toward their own software. I cant' afford to have my developers going on a wild goose chase to develop a protocol driver. I need exact documentation that they could look at and understand exactly what they need to do. It might be the language barrier but I've already spent a lot of time going back and forth with these guys and none of them seem to be able to proved this documentation.
Joel.

I can understand your frustration. I replied back and said very clearly that:
We want to integrate it with our own SCADA software (not KingView).
So, I am looking for information about the actual protocol (“Wellinview”) used, so that we may write our own driver interface.
Do you have that?.. The reply back: "OK yes I understand", and another rubbish document!
