VT1512-IP

ADVANCED OPERATIONS

VT1512-IP Advanced Operation

The VT1512-IP has an embedded web page for users that wish to use the VT1512-IP on a LAN. The embedded webpage displays the units' serial number, ethernet address (MAC ID),

firmware version, bootcode version and brand and model number. To find the VT1512-IP IP address, you can claim the device in BlueBOLT one time and look under Device ADMIN for the IP

address or you can use your networking devices. In some cases, your ISP modem may be equipped with a tool to locate the IP address of the VT1512-IP.

Status

The Status screen shows you the integrity of the power: Voltage, Amperage, Wattage, Power Factor and Power VA. The

Conditions screen displays the Power Condition (detailed below), whether the Breaker is "opened" or "closed" and if the

Voltage Monitoring is working.

Power Condition States

Normal = Input voltage is within range

Undervoltage = The voltage is so low that the over/under voltage load disconnect has engaged and all outlets are off.

Overvoltage = The voltage is so high that the over/under voltage load disconnect has engaged and all outlets are off.

Recovery = Recovery

Recovering from an over/under voltage load disconnect condition

Recovering after the breaker has been tripped and reset

Recovering after the switch has been turned off and turned on again or a power cycle

Recovery will also be stated when the unit is plugged into a live AC source.

Voltage Monitor States

Voltage Monitor = okay – voltage is within a safe range

Voltage Monitor = fault

Either the over/under voltage load disconnect has engaged and all outlets are off.

The breaker was tripped turning all outlets off

The power switch was turned off, turning all outlets off.

Controls

The Controls screens allows you to see which outlet(s) is On or Off. It allows you to sequence the unit On and Off or cycle group. You can turn all outlets On sequentially as programmed and

Off immediately (no sequence).

Configuration

The Configuration screen is used to set up your password protection, set the IP as Static or DHCP (default) and configure advanced device settings.

The Advanced Device settings allow you to program which outlets get sequenced, program which outlets are part of a group cycle and sequence delays.

The VT1512-IP can be interfaced with Control and Automation systems on the local area network. All messages are encapsulated in standard XML format and are sent and received over UDP

port 57010. The XML version declaration, <?xml version="1.0" ?>, is at the beginning of each message. Each message must have a single root element. Messages that do not conform to

the standard will be ignored. A convenient way to test messages is the "netcat" tool, available for Windows 10, Linux and Unix.

<?xml version="1.0" ?><device class="vt1512" id="1065a3050000">...</device>

The root element for all messages is named "device". The device element must have two attributes, "class" and "id". The class attribute specifies the type of device (model) and must be

"vt1512". The "id" attribute is the unique device ID (its Ethernet MAC address), expressed with lower case letters and no formatting. For example:

1. Command Messages

Command messages are sent to the VT1512-IP in order to have it perform a task. The task can be to perform a physical

action, such as switching an outlet (referred to as an "action"). When the task is to transmit data, such as device status,

it is referred to as a "query". Whether the task is an "action" or "query", the message is classified as a command and is

contained within the <command> element.

Example Action Command Message - switch outlet 2 to OFF:

<?xml version="1.0"?>

</device>

2. Response Messages

In response to a query command, the VT1512-IP will send a reply message. The contents part of the message will be a

set of elements enclosed in either the <info>, <status> or <settings> element, depending on the query.

Example Response Message- response to "sendinfo" query command:

<?xml version="1.0"?>

</device>

This would be considered the "envelope" for all messages, where the "..." is to be considered the "contents" of the

message. Since all messages include the "envelope", message details will only document the "contents".

Message Types

There are three types of messages: command messages, response messages and event messages.

<?xml version="1.0" ?>

</device>

By default, the VT1512-IP does not respond to action command messages.

Example Query Command Message – send information

<?xml version="1.0" ?>

</device>

Response

<?xml version="1.0" ?>

</info>

</device>

Response messages can be used to verify command message delivery. If a verifiable response message is desired from the VT1512-IP, the optional "xid" attribute is included in the <com-

mand> element. All command messages with the "xid" attribute expressed will return a response message with the same "xid" attribute value enclosed in an <ack> element. This "xid" value

can then be used to match responses to their corollary commands.

Example 1:

Action Command Message with xid –

<?xml version="1.0" ?><device class="vt1512" id="1065a3050000">

Response Message with ack –

<?xml version="1.0" ?><device class="vt1512" id="1065a3050000"><ack xid="123"></device>
