General Configuration Steps

Bosch Transport Data Logger (TDL) senses and records relevant temperature, humidity, tilt, and shock events. It is best used for machine transport, material handling and production environments. Bosch IoT Gateway Software has full support for those Bluetooth LE-based devices and their specific properties.

To connect the TDL device, follow the general steps for discovering and connecting BLE devices.

After successfully connecting a BCDS TDL device, two new device items will be registered.

The general use cases for managing a TDL device are as follows:

  1. Pair the TDL device
  2. Most of TDL write operations require authentication. The first thing to be done is to execute UserpageService setPin('xxxx') - default PIN is provided by the device vendor.
  3. Update the settings: tune the environmental thresholds, algo thresholds, system configuration, where desired
  4. Delete old logged data if present: BulkDataTransfer.delete
  5. Set syncTIme to current time if not set yet
  6. Set the loggingState property to TRUE
  7. Disconnect from the device

Now the device will log some data. Give it some time.

When logged data is to be downloaded:

  1. Pair the TDL device
  2. Authenticate: UserpageService setPin('xxxx') - default PIN is provided by the device vendor.
  3. Set the loggingState property to false
  4. Execute BulkDataTransfer.download
  5. Data is stored in the HistoryAdmin Service
