Anura Base Hub¶

Part Number: 10070

Overview¶

The Anura Base Hub enables long-term, permanent monitoring of industrial equipment using Anura VS1 sensors. It collects data from VS1 sensors via one or more TR1 transceivers, buffers it, and transfers it to remote or local destinations.

The Base Hub also enables remote configuration of sensors, making it possible to adjust measurement-related parameters via an internet-accessible API.

Data Destinations¶

Data destinations are configured using the API endpoint /gateways/{gateway_id}/data_destinations. Multiple data destinations can be active simultaneously.

Destination Type	`destination_type`	Notes
Secured (TLS) MQTT	`mqtt-ca`	Recommended for systems communicating over the internet. Requires a certificate authority (CA) you control—the gateway generates a certificate signing request (CSR) exposed over the API, which the receiving system signs and returns
Unsecured MQTT	`mqtt`	Not recommended for use outside a well-secured and delimited local network
Local disk	`disk`	Stores data locally on the gateway

Data Formats¶

Every data destination requires the data_formats config attribute to be set, activating transmission of one or more of the following:

aggregated_protobuf / aggregated_json - frequently-transmitted, low-bandwidth values derived from raw acceleration data (RMS, max acceleration, dominating frequency, and more)
scheduled_protobuf / scheduled_csv - raw time-domain acceleration data, recorded according to the schedule specified in the node settings
node_health_protobuf - meta-information about sensor nodes, such as battery level, signal strength, and time synchronization statistics

Protobuf formats are described in the anura-data-model repository.

Buffering¶

If a data destination is unreachable, the Base Hub buffers sensor data on disk for that destination until it can be sent—even across a power cycle. This means measurements can be recorded without internet access, to be uploaded the next time connectivity is restored.

It is possible to change a data destination’s configuration without losing buffered data, as long as its destination_name stays unchanged. This is useful if, for example, an MQTT broker is assigned a new hostname or IP address.

Equipment¶

The Base Hub enclosure houses:

DIN-rail mounted industrial PC (FitPC Fitlet3), part no. 40003
DIN-rail mounted PoE network switch (Teltonika TSW101), part no. 40004
DIN-rail mounted power supply, 12 VDC, sold with a MeanWell OWA-60E-12 (12 VDC, 5 A)

Typical power consumption is 7 W without transceivers connected, rising to about 12 W with 4 transceivers connected.

Firmware Updates¶

The Base Hub supports system upgrades and patches, managed by ReVibe Energy.

Product Care¶

General use: Do not drop, throw, or subject the product to excessive force, as this could damage the enclosure or internal components.
Cleaning: Clean the enclosure using a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive materials or harsh cleaning agents, as these may damage the surface finish.
