  • Modbus, Modbus over TCP, SNMP

In case your hardware product supports the communication methods and protocols listed bellow continue to step 1.

Note

In the event that the communication method or protocol is different from those described above, please open a support ticket with Galooli. Upon receiving an answer from Galooli, you may proceed with the process.

This information can be found in the product's technical specifications/datasheet. You may need to contact the manufacturer if necessary.

  1. Please ensure that the Elara gateway and the new device are in the office.

  2. Ensure that the new device is connected to your computer.

  1. According to the product protocol, the following steps should be taken:

    • Modbus” protocol - The Physical Device ID should be configured using the manual guideline that came with the device. Keep a record of the Physical Device ID so you can use it later.

    • Modbus over TCP” protocol - The Device IP address should be configured within the same range as this of the Galooli gateway using the manual instructions provided with the device. For example Elara IP is 192.168.100.101 by default. Keep a record of the Device IP Address so you can use it later.

    • SNMP” protocol - The Device IP address should be configured within the same range as this of the

    • Galooli gateway using the manual instructions provided with the device. For example Elara IP is 192.168.100.101 by default. Keep a record of the Device IP Address so you can use it later.

  1. Disconnect the device from the computer.

  2. Download the Galooli Power Center platform.

  3. Assemble the Elara gateway and connect it to a power source and your computer.

  4. Connect the the new device to the Elara gateway.

  5. Open the Power Center and make a serial connection to the Elara gateway.

  6. Configure the new device in the Power Center:

Info

We will now demonstrate an example on how to integrate a new generator panel (RS485-Modbus).

  • Depending on the device communication method/protocol, select the appropriate method of adding the device to the Power Center.

    • RS485-Modbus → “Add Port 1 Device

    • Ethernet-Modbus over TCP → “Add MODBUS ETH Device

    • Ethernet-SNMP → “Add SNMP ETH Device

  • Select the appropriate device type and any model of the device from the list. Following this action, you must >> change the "Physical Device ID" to the device ID you specified in the previous paragraph (Paragraph 43). Click “Apply”.

Info

Later in the document, you will find a table summarizing the recommendations for selecting a model when integrating a new product. The specific model indicated in the table contains the most parameters for the purpose of integration, so we recommend it.

  • Repeat the process for each register assignment separately. After each new register assignment is added, be sure to click "Write configuration", wait until the process has been completed, and then click "Reset". For each new registerassignment , make sure to verify the receiving of data each time.

  • Ensure that all relevant alarms are listed, as well as any remote control parameters. The technical specifications/datasheet of the product contains all the relevant information. You may need to contact the manufacturer if necessary. Apply the changes to complete the process.

  • Click "Write configuration", wait until the process is complete, and then click "Reset".

  1. The configuration that you have made must be saved by clicking on "Save As", which will create a GIB file that is required for the next steps.

  1. Submit a support ticket through the Galooli solution to the Galooli support team. The ticket should contain the following information:

    1. Describe your request for the creation of a new default integration with a new hardware product

    2. Provide the full name, model, and method of communication of the product

    3. Let Galooli know what hours and days the unit will be connected to a power source and the network so that they may conduct their own tests

    4. Upload the GIB file

    5. Include all technical documents related to the product
