Mobile Measurement Data Display on Android Devices

03 September 2014 – IPETRONIK presents version 2.0 of its IPEmotion App with completely redesigned graphical interface. The app supports encrypted WiFi data transfer from IPETRONIK modules IPEhub2 and COMgate to any mobile Android device. IPETRONIK logger system users thus can monitor data acquisition online using a tablet or they can use the tablet as custom-configurable logger data display.

The IPEmotion App 2.0 offers many benefits like quick and easy measuring data display, connection of vehicle CAN interface to any Android device, display function for IPETRONIK data loggers and high data security by data storage directly on IPEhub2. Connection can be easily set up using the WPS functions of the mobile device and IPEhub2. Data visualization type and extent (curve, bargraph, alphanumeric, LED) is custom selectable in the app settings. For basic app configuration, the IPEmotion PC software is used. Configured display pages and instruments can also be exported to the app. An additional convenient feature is that users can set up individual display pages and instruments with channel allocation directly in the app. No laptop or PC are required and measurement chain verification is simplified.

IPEhub2 System Overview

IPEhub2 operates as a CAN-to-WiFi gateway with storage medium: 2 CAN bus streams (from either M-CAN bus or vehicle bus) are converted to encrypted WiFi data and streamed wirelessly to a tablet with installed IPEmotion App. IPEhub2 device name (SSID Service Set Identifier) and the WiFi password are custom selectable. The measurement configuration including display instruments of various view pages of the IPEmotion App is initially created by the IPEmotion data acquisition software. This app configuration is exported to the tablet so the measurement can directly be started. Users can adjust data display settings directly through the IPEmotion App, at any time. Parallel to wireless data transfer, traffic data are stored on the FIFO of the SD card included in IPEhub2. The IPEhub2 module supports IP54 protection class and uses a gold anodized aluminum enclosure of 106 mm x 43 mm x 62 mm (W x H x D) in modern M2 design. A supply voltage in the range of 9VDC to 36VDC is required. The power input is typically 4.0 watts.

COMgate

COMgate is a communication gateway for IPETRONIK data loggers which transfers data via WLAN based on the WiFi standard 802.11 a/b/g, or via GSM/GPRS/3G with a suitable modem. Connection to the network is automatic and can be activated via the DHCP protocol. Most common security protocols are supported (SSH, SSH2, VPN, IPsec, RADIUS Server, WPA, WEP, WPA2, etc.). In the event of temporary malfunctions or connection breakdowns, COMgate offers a fallback mechanism that automatically buffers data in the logger and repeats transmission at a lower transmission rate. The COMgate enclosure in the typical golden IPETRONIK design uses dimensions of 160 mm x 120 mm x 26.5 mm (W x H x D) and supports IP54 protection class.
