App centre

Area of the myDatanet server for the installation and management of the IoT apps. The app models
that serve as a basis for the IoT apps are obtained via the rapidM2M Store . When installing an IoT app
on the myDatanet server the default settings defined when developing the app models are initially
applied. These default settings can then be adjusted. Any number of IoT apps can be created based on
a single app model by setting the appropriate default settings.

App model

An app model is developed in the rapidM2M Studio and forms the basis for creating IoT apps. It
essentially contains the executable program files (device logic, backend logic, portal view, etc.) from
which an IoT is created by adding the default settings. Distribution to the individual myDatanet servers
is carried out via the rapidM2M Store . The available app models are displayed in the app centre of the
respective myDatanet server.

Footprint

The manufacturer's devices are equipped with subscriber identity modules (SIM) ex-works for the
purpose of mobile data transmission. The footprint describes those countries and regions where a
mobile connection is available (see www.microtronics.com/footprint).

Device logic

The device logic is the intelligence installed on the device that determines the local functionality of the
device. The device logic is part of the app model and is created using the "PAWN" programming
language.

Hardware ID string

Specifies the hardware platform installed in the device and its hardware version (e.g. rapidM2M M2
HW1.4). The part of the hardware ID string, that specifies the hardware version, is only increased if
changes relevant to the rapidM2M firmware have been made to the hardware platform. When
developing an app model, it can be specified on which hardware platform the app model can be
installed and which version of the hardware platform is required as a minimum. The hardware ID string
is displayed in the TESTbed of the rapidM2M Studio or in the "Identification" field of the input screen for
configuring the device.

IoT app

IoT apps form the basis for creating sites. They consist of an app model and corresponding default
settings that are applied as default values for the site when the site is created. The app centre can be
used to create any number of IoT apps based on a single app model by setting the appropriate default
settings. This makes sense if several use cases need to be covered by a single app model and they
each require a different default site configuration (e.g. if a data logger with different external sensors is
to be sold as a package).

NaN value

The myDatanet uses special encoding to display different error statuses in the measurement values,
for example. By setting a measurement value to "NaN", it is clearly marked as invalid and is thus not
used for any further calculations. In the measurement value graphs, a measurement value that has
been set to "NaN" is indicated by an interruption in the graph. When downloading the data, a
measurement value set to "NaN" is indicated by an empty data field.

Product revision

Specifies the revision of the product. The revision is increased every time the product is modified (i.e.
electronic system, mechanics, etc.) and is marked on the type plate of the product.

Rev. 01
