📄️ General
This section contains general information about the device, as well as configuration for several device features.
📄️ Variables
Variables can be one of two things:
📄️ Timers
Timers allows you to create one shot timers that can be started via triggers in AppBlocks
📄️ Settings
Settings are used to store and retrieve data from the device, and are stored in non-volatile memory.
📄️ Scheduler
You can define functions to be run at a specific time or on a schedule.
📄️ Data Tables
Like Variables and Settings, Data Tables are another form of device storage.
📄️ Logs
The application can log custom messages that are stored in the device's flash memory.
📄️ Commands
Commands provides a way for functions on the device to be triggered.
📄️ Ethernet
The Ethernet feature provides general network configuration and management capabilities for your AppBlocks device. This includes IP configuration and DHCP configuration.
📄️ Wi-Fi
The WiFi feature provides wireless network connectivity for your AppBlocks device. Configure WiFi settings to connect your device to local networks and enable internet access for cloud services, MQTT, HTTP, and other network features.
📄️ Cellular
The Cellular feature provides mobile network connectivity for AppBlocks devices through 4G LTE, 3G, or 2G cellular modems. This enables internet access in locations without WiFi infrastructure.
📄️ Bluetooth
The Bluetooth feature enables wireless short-range communication using Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) technology. This allows mobile device connectivity, sensor integration, and local device configuration.
📄️ HTTP Server
The HTTP Server feature allows your device to host web endpoints and respond to HTTP requests. This enables external applications and services to interact with your device through standard HTTP/REST APIs.
📄️ Modbus Master
The Modbus Master feature enables your device to act as a Modbus master (client), allowing you to read from and write to Modbus slave devices. This is essential for industrial automation and equipment integration.
📄️ Modbus Slave
The Modbus Slave feature enables your device to act as a Modbus slave (server), allowing other Modbus masters to read your device's data and control its functions. This is essential for integrating your device into existing industrial automation systems.
📄️ MQTT
MQTT (Message Queuing Telemetry Transport) is a lightweight messaging protocol designed for IoT devices and low-bandwidth, high-latency networks. AppBlocks provides built-in MQTT client support for publishing and subscribing to topics on MQTT brokers.
📄️ Azure IoT Central
Azure IoT Central integration provides seamless connectivity between your AppBlocks devices and Microsoft Azure cloud services. This enables enterprise-grade device management, telemetry, and cloud-to-device messaging.
📄️ One Wire/Single Wire Sensors
The One Wire/Single Wire Sensors feature provides support for Tibbo's proprietary One Wire/Single Wire sensor protocol, enabling simple and efficient connectivity with Tibbo sensor modules (Tibbits).
📄️ SNTP
SNTP (Simple Network Time Protocol) provides automatic time synchronization for your device. Accurate timekeeping is essential for logging, scheduling, and time-based automation.
📄️ AppBlocks Cloud
The AppBlocks Cloud feature provides telemetry and data aggregation capabilities for sending device data to the cloud. AppBlocks Cloud optimizes data transmission with batching, compression, and efficient protocols.
📄️ Socket
The Socket feature enables TCP/IP socket communication for your AppBlocks application. This allows direct network connections between devices or to custom servers using standard TCP sockets.
📄️ Web Console
The Web Console is a built-in web interface hosted directly on your AppBlocks device. It provides comprehensive device management, monitoring, and configuration through any web browser.
📄️ LUIS Mobile App
LUIS (Local User Interface System) is the mobile app companion for AppBlocks devices. It provides Bluetooth-based device management, monitoring, and configuration from iOS and Android smartphones and tablets.
📄️ DS Manager
The DS Manager (Device Server Manager) feature provides a windows desktop app for managing device settings.
📄️ LCD
General
📄️ DS OLED
The DS OLED (available for DS1102 and DS1101) feature provides on-device display support using OLED screens. This allows your device to show status information, menus, and configuration interfaces directly on an integrated display.
