SERVER SOLUTION

iRidium Server. Introduction

iRidium Server

responsible for:

o storing and processing data

o logics, scenes, schedules

o trends and charts

o gateway between automation systems

Storing and processing data

Important long-time processes

i3 pro

i3 pro, the visualization app, shows only the result of the system work, all processes are

performed in the center.

Latest information, fast communication

i3 pro

A control panel is not involved in time- and power-consuming processes. Thus, it has

more capabilities for fast work and display of the latest information.

Multi-platform

Complicated processes are performed on the sever, it means that the result of the

processes can be displayed even on less powerful devices.

Логика

iRidium Server – collecting, storing and processing data

WHERE TO USE?

Example #1

KNX installation, KNXnet/IP protocol, more than 100 of

status variables to display on a control panel – not all

statuses come to a panel!

The peculiar feature of the protocol demands a buffer

zone that always knows the current state of the system.

KNX

Example #2

HDL installation, several control panels, numerous

climate devices and sensors. When control panels are

connected, the bus gets more and more loaded and its

work gets unstable!

Timers, without which HDL won’t give its state, have to be

created on each panel, as a result, the bus gets

overloaded with requests.

HDL, Modbus

Example #3

Many devices are limited by the number of simultaneous

connections.

Global Cache 100 adapters supports only 1 control panel

can at a time (with iTach it is not more than 4) to control

AV via IR or RS232

Audio/Video multiroom

Example #4

A control panel is a real-time system, it does not work

if it is switched off.

If you leave an app when a long-time scene is on – the

scene is not done to the end!

LICENSING


How it works

Update and

administration

i3 pro

iRidium Cloud is a cloud service to store and administer visualization projects,

server projects and licenses.

How to choose a license

1. Do you want to use the sever?

2. How many control panels?

3. What automation systems?

4. Do you need IP cameras, intercom?

F.A.Q.


No

Internet access is required only to upload a project onto a control panel and the server.

Then iRidium can work independently.

Is Internet access required on the object?

Yes

Visualization projects are compatible with the new version they can be automatically

converted to work with or without the server.

But i2 Control V2.2 licenses are not compatible with i3 pro.

It is possible to update to the new version?

If a license has never been activated, you can exchange it for a new one. If a license is

activated, you can update visualization by adding new functions to it. Old panels will

continue their work.

What shall I do with an old license?

Simply log out of the account on a control panel or deactivate the server.

Server Web-interface

It is a developer’s tool.

1. Turn the Test Mode: ON to upload projects from

Transfer

2. Keep track of the current state of variables in the web-

interface

Trends can be seen via the web-interface.

JavaScript Modifiers

Under development: logical blocks

Scenes and logics

Scenes and logics are set in JavaScript editor – use the

manual and documentation on the developers’ portal

dev.iridiummobile.net

Building Trends

1. Save the variable in the data base

2. Set Linear Trend graphical item in i3 pro

Trends can be seen via the server web-interface.

Charts

Charts are controlled totally

via JavaScript, see the

example in the materials to

the webinar.
