MessengerBLE User Guide Introduction This User’s Manual describes installation and setup of the Messenger-BLE product. Throughout this document, Messenger-BLE and Messenger are used interchangeably. The Messenger is a complete monitoring, alarm notification, and telemetry platform. The intended markets include (but not limited to) water/wastewater utility, off-road heavy construction equipment, on-road semi-trucks, oil and gas, and standby power generators.
MessengerBLE User Guide 1 Description 1.1 Capabilities The Messenger is a highly configurable platform for remote monitoring and control applications. Some of the capabilities are listed below.
MessengerBLE User Guide date/time, an event code, and associated data. An event code provides a unique identifier to indicate the reason that notification is being sent – e.g. normal scheduled update or an engine diagnostic message received. A description of the protocol, format of messages, and definition of event codes is available on request (reference protocol document “M09-PRTCLxxx”).
MessengerBLE User Guide acknowledged. This store and forward memory is non-volatile and remains intact during power off. 1.3.4 Real-Time Clock (RTC) The RTC is used to timestamp data records and events. All messages sent to the host server contain a timestamp to provide a chronology of data/events to the end user. This timestamp is UTC time. All timestamps viewed from the debug menu are local time based on the configured time zone. The RTC is battery backed to provide time keeping during power off.

MessengerBLE User Guide 2.8 Cellular Setup The Messenger supports two cellular technologies, HSPA (3G) and LTE (4G). The current offering for HSPA is a 3G penta-band capable radio. For LTE, it is a 4G, dualband radio. Both of these radio options require a wireless account with a cellular provider such as AT&T or Verizon.
MessengerBLE User Guide 3 LED States There is one tri-color LED visible to the user to indicate various system conditions. These conditions are conveyed to the user via LED color and blink patterns. Blinking of LEDs can be disabled via a configuration setting (OPTIONS Configuration). On powerup, an LED test is performed by blinking all LEDs every second for 3 seconds. Following the LED test, the LEDs blink based on the following conditions: The number of blinks will range from 1 to 3.
MessengerBLE User Guide 4 IO Architecture The IO architecture is shown in the diagram below. Each of the physical IO entities has a configuration that is set based on user requirements. Based on that configuration, the values sampled are stored in their respective data registers. These data registers are used to reference the corresponding value for use in channel creation or in expressions used to compute values. The complete list of available data registers can be found in Appendix B.
MessengerBLE User Guide 5 Channels The Messenger maps all monitored conditions into channels. Each channel has data storage and configuration parameters. Data storage holds current value, max/min values, and other run time data values. Configuration consists of user settable parameters that define rules on how the data values are to be processed (Channel Configuration). The data stored in a channel is user definable.

MessengerBLE User Guide 5.2 Channel Data All values read from physical IO, an engine bus, or from a Modbus slave device are continually updated and tested as defined by the configuration parameters. For each channel, based on its type (analog or digital), there is a basic set of data collected. For purposes of discussion, the term “not normal” is used to indicate an analog value that has violated a limit threshold or a digital value that does not match its configured ‘normal’ state.
MessengerBLE User Guide The daily data set is a separate set of current and max/min values that span the 24 hour period from midnight to midnight, UTC time. At midnight, an end of day report is generated from this data. Because Modbus channel data is polled, Modbus digital channels do not maintain count or duration values.
MessengerBLE User Guide 6 SMS Text Commands The Messenger can receive and execute SMS commands to perform specific functions. The SMS command set includes: CONFIG – used to modify configuration parameters ADIPREQ – request to connect to remote diagnostic utility ACTION – on-demand action request 6.1 Command Syntax The commands can be upper case, lower case, or combination. y,zzzz)> - used to modify configuration parameters.

MessengerBLE User Guide 9.21 PEER Poll Configuration – Type 28 The Messenger can be configured to work in a peer to peer mode with another Messenger. This mode of operation allows a peer to share data directly with another peer. For this to work, all radios in the peer to peer network must be CDMA modems with static IPs. Data is exchanged by a client peer (local) polling a server peer (remote). The protocol used between peers is Modbus RTU.
MessengerBLE User Guide 9.22 PEER Push Configuration – Type 29 This is part of the peer mechanism used to share data between devices in a peer to peer network. This method pushes a data value to a remote peer based on a change in the value. This is a more efficient method than the polling as described in 8.16. Data is exchanged by a client (local) peer pushing (writing) data to a server (remote) peer. The protocol used between peers is Modbus RTU.

MessengerBLE User Guide 10 How-To This section provides how-to steps to perform some common functions. 10.1 Setting reporting rates when moving and stationary Setting Standard Reporting Rate – when not exceeding a pre-defined speed over ground, course change or RPM threshold (set to 120 minutes) Exception Reporting Rate – when moving faster than the course over ground limit, course change or RPM limit (set to 300 seconds) 10.
MessengerBLE User Guide 10.3 Enabling low power mode to conserve battery In low power mode, the Messenger turns off the Cellular and GPS modules, stops monitoring all inputs and puts the processor into a very low power mode. The Messenger processor wakes up every 10 seconds to determine if the engine is running – either from CAN activity, J1708 activity or Digital Input 1, whichever is configured to indicate Engine Run.
MessengerBLE User Guide Setting Set Hard Braking alarm limit. For example, set to 7.5 MPH. If the Road Speed drops by more than 7.5 MPH in a second. Set Fast Acceleration alarm limit. For example, set to 4.5 MPH. If the Road Speed increases by more than 4.5 MPH in a second. 10.5 Via SMS, OTA or Debug Port SMS: OTA: $TXT: OTA Messenger Protocol: |258,8,9,7.5| Debug Port: 8,9,7.5 SMS: OTA: $TXT: OTA Messenger Protocol: |258,8,10,4.
MessengerBLE User Guide Setting This allows the Messenger to provide accurate Engine Hours reporting. Set the state of the input to match the engine running signal. For example, Digital Input 1 is considered ‘normal’ when the input is floating or> 3.0V and ‘notnormal’ when it is grounded. ‘Notnormal’ would indicate the engine is running. Digital input 1 is channel 4. Set the Norm state = 0 (6,0) if the signal goes to ground when the engine is running.
MessengerBLE User Guide 10.6 Using the Analog Input for Fuel Level Fuel Level is frequently not available via the J1939 or J1708 bus.
