How do you put a serial device with a proprietary ASCII protocol on the Internet? You use AddMe Jr. with i.CanDoIt® and Script Basic. As long as your serial protocol produces numeric data, all of the rule based templates for scheduling and event notifications, and every other register based feature of i.CanDoIt is available.

The goal of i.CanDoIt® is to provide a simple and cost effective facility management and remote monitoring solution suitable for use in small sites. i.CanDoIt® includes data logging, time & date scheduling, and template or rule based alarm processing with email notification and/or I/O activation in response to events. Data logging simply records the contents of registers on a user specified schedule. Event logging keeps a record of alarm events. Scheduling causes register values to be set according to a schedule. The resulting register manipulation may generate network communication with remote devices, control local I/O, or change setpoints. The i.CanDoIt® is programmable, even though it is rather powerful without programming.

Control Solutions’ i.CanDoIt® AMJR-14-BASIC features 12 inputs which accept analog input from thermistors or 0-10V sensors, or discrete input from dry contact switches. AMJR-14 also provides 2 discrete outputs which can sink 1A at 24VDC.

Input data is presented in scaled integer and floating point format. Linearization tables are provided for 10K and 20K type II, III, and IV thermistors on analog inputs. Input and output type and scaling are configured in web pages served by the internal web server.
