Then “Upload Firmware” button must be clicked. Then user must wait until page shows the result.

Then system will show the firmware date and version and user can reboot that firmware.
 
Typical log for the system is shown below.

NOTE: This page has same settings both for Server and Client operating modes.

STG series WMBus Gateways can get WMBus OMS data, can decrypt the data based on OMS decryption mode 5 and share data as Modbus values.

11.1 Selecting Modbus TCP or Modbus RTU

As a first step user should select under Operating Mode page:

Wmbus – Modbus TCP Gateway Device Function (available when device operation mode is server)

Or

Wmbus – Modbus RTU Gateway Device Function (available when device operation mode is client)

11.2 Entering Field Device Details

Once the device function is set, a list with maximum 20 entries will be shown on Operating Mode page.

Each WMBus device is separate MODBUS device so user should match Manufacturing IDs of field devices with selected Modbus Device Addresses. Then user should enable the entry that STG will expect the WMBus data and share info as Modbus register.

11.3 Entering Decryption Settings

STG can decrypt OMS messages of Up to 16 field devices. If needed user can enter details of Decryption under WMBus Settings page. User can enter AES Decryption Key, WM-Bus device address, Manufacturer ID, Device version and Device Type. If the setting is ok STG will show as check box under Config OK column ( after restart of device). 

For example if same details entered in 2 different entyr, STG will not accept and STG will not check Config OK check box.

User can get details such as WM-Bus device address, Manufacturer ID, Device version and Device Type under WMBus Status page if needed.

11.4 Entering WMBus Filter Data

If there are many WMBus devices in the filed and STG is used to get data of some of them only, user can activate WMBUs RF communication package filter based on White list (accepted packages from Device ID field of WMBus packages) or Black list (rejected packages from Device ID field of WMBus packages). 

Up to 20 entry can be defined for each filter list.

User can get ID of device from “Device Status” menu page.

11.5 Setting Modbus Communication Parameters

If WMbus – Modbus RTU Gateway is set, user can make serial interface settings under menu Serial Settings.

If WMbus – Modbus TCP Gateway is set, user can change Modbus TCP Port under menu Network Settings.

11.6 Reading Modbus Register - Rules

STG series WMbus – Modbus TCP/RTU Gateway devices can get WMBus OMS data and convert those to Modbus registers. Users or field devices can read WMBus data over Modbus registers. Here are basic rules:

- Each wMBUS device is separate MODBUS slave

Slave ID is possible to configure in STG web page "Operating Mode" in table "Modbus Scheduler Settings" column "Modbus address" 

- MODBUS data is stored in two part: Status Block and several Data Blocks depends of number measurements stored in WMBus device

- Without error it is possible read first 6 words or all registers

Number of words needed to read all register is possible after counting length of data blocks. For example, if in status block "data count" value is equal to 2 you have to read 6+2*5 (16) words from address 0

- To restrict number of WMBUS devices it is possible use "White" or "Black" list of WMBus devices

See "Security Settings" in STG web configuration page

- To Decrypt WMBus devices you have to fill "AES-128 Decryption List"

See " WMBus Settings" in STG web configuration page

- Current MODBUS STG status is possible to find in " WMBus Status" page

See " WMBus Status" in STG web configuration page

- Current WMBus device status is possible to find in "Device Status" page

See "Device Status" in STG web configuration page

11.7 Reading Modbus Register – Modbus Register Structure

STG series WMbus – Modbus TCP/RTU Gateway devices convert WMBus OMS data to Modbus Registers in following format:

Frame has 1 Data header, 6 Registers:

- WMbus Device ID: 2 Registers

- WMbus Man ID: 1 Register

- WMbus Version: 1 Register

- WMbus Type: 1 Register

- Total Data Count  ( Represents how many data blocks exists)

Data Block, each 5 Bytes total n bytes

- Storage Number: 1 Register

- Function Field: 1 Register

- Data Type: 1 Register

- Data Value: 2 Registers

11.8 Reading Modbus Register – Data Block

Shows the historical storage number of data, if it is Instantaneous data t will be 0

- Function Field: 1 Register

There are 4 options

- Data Type: 1 Register

There are 48 types, new values can be added based on user need

NOTE:  Below Table is valid for firmware version 8.21 and above

- Data Value: 2 Registers

Exact value of data, must be parsed based on Data Type Format. 

11.9 Reading Modbus Register – Modbus Function

STG series WMbus – Modbus TCP/RTU Gateway devices shares WMBus OMS data as Modbus data and those data can be read by Holding Register command (Function Code 3).

Header Values can be queried individually or as array.

Data Block values can only be queried as Block Data ( 5 bytes).

Frame has 1 Data header, 6 Registers:

- WMbus Device ID: 2 Registers

- WMbus Man ID: 1 Register

- WMbus Version: 1 Register

- WMbus Type: 1 Register

- Total Data Count  ( Represents how many data blocks exists)

Data Block, each 5 Registers total n bytes

- Storage Number: 1 Register

- Function Field: 1 Register
