Coinciding with the release of ecoSENTRY V3.14C, we have made some slight modifications to the output file formats used by the application. The log and records file structure has been updated. All files now contain an additional SITE PROFILE field in the header portion.
The SITE PROFILE field is used to describe or identify the equipment deployed in a particular site.
The SITE PROFILE field is a text field which can hold up to 50 characters. The format is currently specified as follows:
| Letter | Equipment | Format | Fields | Range/Details |
| G | GENSET | G<Index>-<kW_Rating>-Y<Year_Of_Manufacture> | Index | 1-n |
| kW_Rating | in kW | |||
| Year_Of_Manufacture | YYYY | |||
| F | FUEL SENSOR | F<Index>-<Type> | Index | 1-n |
| Type | -1 = none | |||
| 0 = Analog | ||||
| 1-4 = USS Type 1-4 | ||||
| 5 = HPS | ||||
| 6 = LPG Gauges | ||||
| 7 = Serial Port Sensor | ||||
| T | TANK | T<Index>-<Tank_Capacity_L>[-<Shape>] | Index | 1-n |
| Tank_Capacity_L | in L | |||
| Shape | optional, 1-14 (see user guide) | |||
| S | SOLAR PANELS | S<Nr_Of_Panels>-<Total_Capacity_kW> | Nr_Of_Panels | 1-n |
| Total_Capacity_kW | in kW | |||
| W | WIND TURBINES | W<Nr_Of_Turbines>-<Total_Capacity_kW> | Nr_Of_Turbines | 1-n |
| Total_Capacity_kW | in kW | |||
| B | BATTERIES | B<Nr_Of_Batteries>-<Total_Rating_Ah> | Nr_Of_Batteries | 1-n |
| Total_Rating_Ah | in Ah | |||
| M | MAINS | M<Nr_Of_Phases>-<Nom_Voltage> | Nr_Of_Phases | 0-3 (0 = no MAINS) |
| Nom_Voltage | in V AC |
To better illustrate the use of these, here are a few examples:
| Examples | Meaning |
| G1-2-Y2013 | GENSET #1 = 2kW, Year Of Manufacture: 2013 |
| F1-1 | FUEL SENSOR #1 = USS type 1 |
| T1-8000-1 | TANK #1 = 8,000L Capacity, Horz. Cylinder |
| S4-1 | SOLAR PANELS = 4 Panels, 1kW Capacity (Total) |
| W2-2 | WIND TURBINES = 2 Turbines, 2kW Capacity (Total) |
| B4-12000 | BATTERIES = 4 Batteries, 12,000 Ah (Total) |
| M3-110 | MAINS = 3 Phases, 110VAC (Nominal) |
With the above listed examples, the resulting SITE PROFILE string would be:
G1-2-Y2013F1-1T1-8000-1S4-1W2-2B4-12000M3-110
NOTE:
This change MAY also
require an upgrade of the RCC and RCS to guarantee proper processing of
the updated log and records files. The latest versions of RCC and RCS
are fully backwards compatible and will continue to work with sites that
have not been updated to the latest ecoSENTRY app versions yet.
