Flow-X Troubleshooting

Flow-X devices do not use a native protocol for communication, but rather offer a set of HTTP REST web services for data retrieval. ACM makes HTTP requests to these services. This means that these services can also be loaded in a browser when troubleshooting issues with a Flow-X device.

For example,

• View all tags of a certain type: http://deviceipaddresshere/tags?Fields=5634&Filter=unitid=3
  Note: the trailing "3" above can be replaced with these values:
  0 = No data type specified (treat as numeric).
  1 = Text
  2 = Numeric (floating point)
  3 = Date/time
  4 = Boolean
  5 = Integer
  6 = Id of unit item
  7 = Id of enum type
  8 = IP Address

• View all writable tags: http://deviceipaddresshere/tags?Filter=writable

• View all fields for a single tag: http://deviceipaddresshere/tags?Fields=all&IDFilter=1234 where 1234 is replaced with the ID of the desired tag

• Raw value for a single tag: http://deviceipaddresshere/tags?RawValues=1&IDFilter=1234 where 1234 is replaced with the ID of the desired tag

• Retrieve 3 latest records from one archive: http://deviceipaddresshere/snapshots?archive=mod1_Batch&count=3

• View Active Alarms: http://deviceipaddresshere/alarms?filter=active

• Events: http://deviceipaddresshere/logs

• List of archives & tags within: http://deviceipaddresshere/archives Note: This displays only the configuration of the archive, not the actual records.

• Report List: http://deviceipaddresshere/reports
