Framework for reading connected devices and publishing to the AWARE cloud

Project description

pyAWARE

Python middleware for AWARE Gateway. This is to be installed on an edge device for reading data from non-iot devices, aggregating the data and then publishes the data to either the cloud or to a local network via MQTT.

There are sections of this readme which will diverge between legacy and current implementation. See below devices that require our legacy steps vs the current steps,

Contents


Installation

Install is recommended on a virtual environment on python 3.7 or above.

pip install virtualenv
virtualenv /path/to/new/env -p /path/to/python  

Activate the environment to do commands such as pip

/path/to/new/env/Scripts/activate
or
/path/to/ENV/bin/activate

Or run the python directly

/path/to/new/env/Scripts/python
or
/path/to/ENV/bin/python

Building new releases

In order to do a new release follow the following checklist:

  • Create a release branch
  • Set the current working directory to the top level folder of pyAWARE
  • Update ReleaseNotes.md to include the major changes in this revision (review git logs)
  • Update __version__ string in __init__.py in the top level folder
  • Run
python setup.py bdist_wheel
  • The output .whl folder should be in the dist/* folder (empty this folder before running as there may be issues with other whl files with the same name in this directory)
  • Open it with 7zip or similar and check that the python files, non-python files and scripts are included as expected.
  • Test the features and fixes that have been introduced in this revision. With this test the core functionality of pyAWARE i.e. modbus comms, MQTT comms, cloud comms etc.
  • Create, approve and merge into both the 'develop' branch and the 'production' branch

Field Production Installation

NOTE: If unit doesn't have access to the internet, follow the offline installation instructions for getting the dependencies installed.

Current Install

For rolling out updates. If it is a pure python release update, copy the wheel file via SCP to /usr/share/aware then use

pip install pyaware-<version>-py3-non-any.whl
Legacy Install

For rolling out updates. If it is a pure python release update, copy the wheel file via SCP to /etc/AWARE then use

pip install pyaware-<version>-py3-non-any.whl

Production Image Installation

  • Retrieve the current system image from Subversion
    for your device.
Current
  • Install the image onto a USB Drive.
  • Enter uBoot and install the image to the IPC.
  • Update the pyAWARE install and dependencies.
Legacy
  • Burn this to an SD card to be installed onto your device.
  • Install the SD card into your device and perform an initial boot.
  • Update the pyAWARE install and dependencies.

Dev Installation

  • Have python 3.7.X installed
  • Check out the pyAWARE project
  • Open terminal or cmd prompt and navigate to the checked out project
pip install -e .
pip install -r requirements.txt

This will connect to the internet and download the necessary packages


Online Installation

  • Have python 3.7.X installed
  • Check out the pyaware project
  • Open terminal or cmd prompt and navigate to the checked out project
pip install .
pip install -r requirements.txt

This will connect to the internet and download the necessary packages


Offline Installation

Installing can take a long time on embedded devices such as the IOT 2040 To speed up this process do the following,

  • Have python 3.7 or above installed
  • Check out the pyAWARE project
  • Open terminal or cmd prompt and navigate to the checked out project
  • Download the required packages by doing the following (Note: The platform and index will change based on the architecture ) For the moxa we are using the piwheels cache which has prebuilt wheels for the arm architecture. On a desktop (tested on python 3.9) we need to get other packages to support the install that pip doesn't download on the other architecture.
pip download pyaware wheel pip importlib_metadata ruamel.yaml.clib zipp --extra-index-url https://www.piwheels.org/simple --platform linux_armv7l --python-version 3.7 --only-binary=:all: -d pkgs

On moxa device Activate a python 3.7 environment. This is required as hbmqtt does not have a distribution release for 3.7 so specifying 3.7 doesn't work. By using the natural 3.7 environment we get the 3.4-3.5 package which is still compatible.

pip download pyaware pip wheel -d pkgs --extra-index-url https://www.piwheels.org/simple --only-binary=:all:
  • Copy the pkgs directory to the target device
  • Activate the virtual environment
  • Install the packages
pip install --upgrade pip wheel --no-index --find-links="pkgs" && pip install --upgrade pyaware --no-index --find-links="pkgs"

Download and install only source files and platform agnostic files. Do this on the device so that it will not download x86 binaries.

pip download setuptools wheel pip pyaware cython -d pkgs --no-cache

Offline install from source

pip install --upgrade pip wheel --no-index --find-links="pkgs" && pip install --upgrade pyaware --no-index --find-links="pkgs"

Service Installation

Current

NOTE: This only is to be performed if pyaware.service is not found at this location -> /etc/systemd/system

  • Create a service file called pyaware.service which contains the below,
[unit]
Description=pyaware
After=network.target

[Service]
Type=simple
Restart=always
RestartSec=1
ExecStart=/usr/share/aware/venv/bin/python -m pyaware /etc/aware/

[Install]WantedBy=multi-user.target
  • Put this file in /etc/systemd/system

This service should start on boot and will restart if it errors out. To explicitly start/stop/restart this service use the commands below,

sudo systemctl [cmd] pyaware

where cmd can be -> status, start, stop, restart etc.
Legacy

NOTE: This only is to be performed if inittab does not contain the lines below.

  • Append to the file at /etc/inittab the following lines
# Start the aware process
AWAR:2345:respawn:/usr/bin/env AWAREPATH=/etc/AWARE python3 /etc/AWARE/main.py

Example Configuration:

pyAWARE has example configuration files available to use through deployment. In the event of an installation of pyAWARE, pyAWARE will place the configuration files at the base of your python deployment in a folder called pyaware_example_config.


Usage

pyAWARE uses config files to take inputs into the program. These are read in on pyAWARE boot and will require a restart to the program in order for any changes to occur. The config files are written in yaml and are required to be in a specific folder structure. All config files should be placed in /etc/AWARE (on Linux).

Folder Structure

A generic folder structure is shown below that details the path each config file should be found in. Starting at the AWAREPATH i.e. /etc/AWARE (on Linux).

.
├── config
|   ├── connection.yaml
|   ├── gateway.yaml
|   └── translation.yaml
└── credentials
    ├── google_roots.pem
    └── rsa_private.pem

Gateway Config (gateway.yaml)

Gateway config is the heart of pyAWARE and is the config file responsible for using pyAWARE's core features. An example gateway.yaml file is shown below,

Communication Parameters

Each communication type has a list of parameters. These parameters are specific to the communication option chosen (e.g. A device may need a device_id as an input and will error until you define this in config). Each parameter has a type and value. Parameter types tell PyAWARE how to interpret the parameter value and the parameter value is what you would like to set as that parameter. As you will see this can be either a specified value, function or reference. Example config can be seen below detailing how to write this in config,

communication:
  - name: ref_comms_name # Comms protocol e.g. modbus or similar
    ...
  - name: ref_dev_name # Device defintion e.g. power-meter
    ...
  - name: ...
    type: ...
    # This is an example communication option which makes use of each different communication parameter type
    params: 
      param1: 
        type: value
        value: "This is my parameter value"
      param2:
        type: ref_comms
        value: ref_comms_name # This is the reference name of a comms protocol in the config file
      param3:
        type: ref_path
        value: ref/path/from/AWAREPATH # This is the reference path from AWAREPATH
      param4:
        type: ref_device
        value: ref_dev_name # This is the reference name of a device in the config file
      param5: 
        type: ref_comms_param 
        value: ref_comms_name
        key: ref_comms_param_name # Parameter name from the reference device object
      param6:
        type: ref_translation_config
        value: translation/location # Location of the translation.yaml file from AWAREPATH
      param7:
        type: ref_translation
        value: [...] # List of reference config names to pass through to translation
      param8: 
        type: ref_mac_address
        value: ethx # Adapter name to get MAC Address from
  • value - The most common option. This is just a value that is interpreted raw. It can be a string, number, etc.
  • ref_comms - Reference to a communication protocol elsewhere in the config file. e.g. If you have a modbus TCP client defined with the name 'modbus_client' this parameter will take the object instantiated during that process as the reference parameter.
  • ref_path - This parameter is interpreted as a path from the AWAREPATH. e.g. If you defined a path 'location/here' the path this parameter becomes is AWAREPATH/location/here.
  • ref_device - Reference to a device definition elsewhere in the config file. e.g. If you have a modbus device defined with the name 'modbus_device_1' this parameter will take the object instantiated during that process as the reference parameter.
  • ref_comms_param - Reference to a parameter belonging to a communication protocol elsewhere in the config file. e.g. If you have a modbus TCP client defined with the name 'modbus_client' and it has a parameter called 'client_id' this parameter will take the object instantiated during that process as the reference object and retrieve the parameter with the name defined in key which in this case lets say 'client_id' and store it as that parameter on the current item.
  • ref_translation_config - Reference to the location of the translation config file (translation.yaml). e.g. If you defined a path 'location/here' the path this parameter becomes is AWAREPATH/config/location/here.
  • ref_translation - List of object references in the current config file to put into a parameter.
  • ref_mac_address - The adapter name that you wish to retrieve the parameter mac address from. This has to be the name your platform has given the adapter and has to be a valid adapter on the machine.

MQTT Connection Config (connection.yaml)

Connection.yaml specifies the all the requirements for connecting to an appropriate mqtt broker. This is separated from gateway.yaml in order to provide robustness to failure when a user uploads an invalid configuration, pyaware will still connect in order to receive a new configuration. An example connection.yaml file is shown below,

defaults: 'gcp'
# feature_flags:
#   feature_mqtt: true
device-id: 'gateway-id'
project_id: 'project-id'
registry_id: 'registry-id'
cloud_region: 'gcp-region'

Options

  • defaults - Chooses which base configuration defaults to use
    • gcp - Use the Google Cloud Defaults
    • local - Use the local on-premises mqtt broker default
  • feature_flags - Set of core pyAWARE features to enable or disable.
    • feature_mqtt - Enables or disables the use of an mqtt broker. Defaults to true.

All options can be provided in the dynamic form as can be specified Communication Parameters.. Note: Any parameters that rely on information retrieved from devices in gateway.yaml will delay the final connection to the broker until all of gateway.yaml is processed. Any invalid gateway.yaml will then cause connection.yaml to not be processed and pyaware never connecting to the broker.

Translation Config (translation.yaml)

PyAWARE can also be used to host data in a server. In order to pass data from / to devices from / to servers, pyAWARE uses this translation configuration to determine how the data is to be mapped from point A to point B and vice versa. An example translation.yaml is shown below. This shows how a server 'server_1' can pass data to / from a device 'device_1'.

server-translation:
  server_1:
    devices:
      device_1:
        transformations:
          - rename_keys:

There are two key parts to this config file. We have a server translation that maps how data is recieved from the device and placed into the server. We also have a device translation which does the opposite i.e. takes data from a server and maps it back to the device. This relationship can be from any number of servers to/from any number of devices.

Registers

This defines how the selected server will layout its registers and map each of its parameters to an address. NOTE: This is similar how devices layout their parameters. An example is below,

...
registers:
      holding: 
        zero:
          form:

...

The parameter directly under 'registers' is the type of register to be defined, there are four registers in a Modbus registers to be defined with the names below. Under each register type here is a list of server parameters with their form which includes the type of parameter, address and data type. NOTE: Each register must have been defined already under the server in gateway.yaml.

  • holding - Modbus Holding Register
  • input - Modbus Input Register
  • coil - Modbus Coil Register
  • discrete - Modbus Discrete Register

Transformations

This describes how the data is to be transformed before entering either the server or the device depending on if it is defined under the server or device. The list of transformations is described below,

  • rename_keys - Takes a dictionary of key mapping to map parameters by.

      ...

System commands

There are system commands that target the gateway instead of the attached devices. They can be sent by using the usual command topic under the subtopic system. Eg. /devices/gateway1/events/commands/system/...

Live Debugging /system/debug

pyAWARE supports live debug logging. The purpose of this is to increase the amount of logging detail on an already running instance. This is managed through the MQTT connection through commands.

The content of the message will be a JSON list of values. Any values that are not present will be disabled. Eg. sending [] payload will turn off runtime logging. If any logging option is enabled then log level DEBUG will be enabled throughout the program. The options available in the message are

  • all : Turns on all available logging
  • core: Will turn the global debugging level to DEBUG instead of INFO. This option is enabled by default when any other option is set. This will update std out and the AWARE.log file with the new debug messages.
  • modbus : Turns on modbus logging. This will be present in separate files from the AWARE.log
  • mqtt: Turns on mqtt logging. This will be present in separate files from the AWARE.log
  • triggers : Turns on the triggers logging. Provides logging for each run of the triggers against the new data.
  • state_changes: Turns on the state changes. This will provide logging for all changes to the current state, event state and send state of each device. This will increase the performance impact as it tries to form copies of the current state and new state in order to provide more insightful logs.

Stop /system/stop

Stops the pyaware process. This will result in a restart of pyaware if it is an enabled linux service. The payload is ignored.


Deploying Gateway

For any new deployment on an embedded device, an image needs to be generated. All images for deployment can be found on Subversion.

After the device is set up with all the correct dependencies (as per offline installation), an image should be stored for reuse. This can be done by doing the following.

Generating reusable SD card image.

Setting up an new SD card with the image.

Once the image is loaded, test your new deployment by,

  • Inserting the new SD card / Booting the device with the new image.
  • Installing the latest pyAWARE as per installation instructions.
  • Copying over the new config files.
  • Generating credentials for Google Cloud and putting them in /etc/AWARE/credentials
  • Validate it works by running python -m pyaware /etc/AWARE
  • Restart IOT Device

There are a few key areas of device config, sources, transformations & parameters.

Sources

Sources represent all of the device blocks to be polled along side the names of each poll. Under each poll we have the following parameters to define,

  • Required
    • blocks - This defines each contiguous block of addresses to read for each device in the form [start_address, end_address].
  • Optional:
    • poll_interval - The poll interval in seconds in which to read this data (Defaults to 5).

Transformations

These are identical to transformations defined in translation.yaml except they only apply to the device and the result will be sent directly to MQTT. See translation.yaml for more details.

Parameters

These are the core of each device, they detail the parameters of each device, what data types the parameters are made up of and what address(es) they belong to.

  • Conditionally Required:

    • source - The poll this parameter currently belongs to. Required on at least the parent parameter.
    • form - What the parameter looks like. These are defined in parameter types. Required on at least the children parameters.
  • Optional:

Parameter Types

  • Param - Raw parameter value taken from a single address. Scaling and rounding to the significant figures is provided.
    • Required:
      • address - The start address of the parameter. NOTE: This is required to be within the source address blocks.
      • idx - The actual name of the parameter.
    • Optional:
      • scale - Factor to multiply the parameter value with (Defaults to 1).
      • significant_figures - Number of significant figures to round to (defaults to None).
  • ParamStatic - This is a 'virtual' constant parameter where the user defines its value and it is not read from the device.
    • Required:

    • Required:
      • address - The addresses of the parameter as a block. NOTE: This is required to be within the source address blocks.
      • table - Dictionary of each number with its corresponding value.

      • idx - Name to rename the json object.
    • Optional:
      • table - Table representing the json structure (Defaults to an empty dict)
  • ParamBits - Parameter bitmask register. NOTE: This is legacy and should use the hierarchical pattern for new devices that implement the new parameter pattern.
    • Required:
      • address - The start address the parameter is located.
      • bitmask - A dictionary presenting the bitmask of the parameter written as {0: "stop", 1:"start", ...}
    • Optional:
      • idx - Name of the total bitmask register (Defaults to None).
  • ParamMask - Applies a mask to the parameter after read.
    • Required:
      • address - The start address the parameter is located.
      • idx - The actual name of the parameter.
    • Optional:
      • mask - Mask to apply to the parameter (Defaults to 0xFFFF).
      • rshift - Shifts the bits to the right by the int provided (Defaults to 0).
  • ParamOffset - Treats the Parameter as a ParamMask but also provides an offset.
    • Optional:
      • offset - Offset to apply to the parameter (Defaults to 0).
  • ParamMaskBool - Treats the Parameter as a ParamMask but returns all the values as bools instead of ints.
  • ParamMaskScale - Applies a mask to the parameter after read and scales the result.
    • Required:
      • address - The start address the parameter is located.
      • idx - The actual name of the parameter.
    • Optional:
      • mask - Mask to apply to the parameter (Defaults to 0xFFFF).
      • rshift - Shifts the bits to the right by the int provided (Defaults to 0).
      • scale - Scale factor to scale the parameter by (Defaults to 1).
      • significant_figures - Number of significant figures to round to (defaults to None).
  • ParamLookup - For the value read from the address will apply the result to a table and return the result similar to and Enum.
    • Required
      • address - The start address the parameter is located.
      • idx - The actual name of the parameter.
      • table - Dictionary of each number with its corresponding value.
      • table - Inversed dictionary of each number with its corresponding value.
    • Optional:
      • mask - Mask to apply to the parameter (Defaults to 0xFFFF).
      • rshift - Shifts the bits to the right by the int provided (Defaults to 0).
  • ParamCType - This is used for most Parameters, this enforces a parameter to be a particular data type from the registers provided and returns an exception if the data binding cannot be performed.

Parameter Hierarchy

Parameters can be defined in a hierarchical pattern. This allows you to define parameters that need to be related for purposes of managing reads/writes by parameter name. The hierarchy is defined by setting the children on the parent parameter. If there are children on the parameter then the form becomes optional. Caution must be made when not specifying the form on the parent as writes to the children parameters will ignore the current state of any bits/registers that are not explicitly defined in the heirarchy.

For example

  reg-3:
    source: poll
    form:
      type: Param
      address: 3
      idx: reg-3
    children:
      reg-3-bit-0:
        form:
          type: ParamBit
          address: 3
          idx: reg-3-bit-0
          bit: 0
        triggers:
          process:
            send:
              - [always]
          write:
            validators:
              - trig_type: writable
      reg-3-bit-1:
        form:
          type: ParamBit
          address: 3
          idx: reg-3-bit-1
          bit: 1
        triggers:
          write:
            validators:
              - trig_type: writable
      reg-3-bit-2:
        form:
          type: ParamBit
          address: 3
          idx: reg-3-bit-2
          bit: 2
        triggers:
          write:
            validators:
              - trig_type: writable
    triggers:
      process:
#        send:
#          - [time, 5]
        send:
          - [always]

If the reg-3 initial state is 0xFFFF and a write parameters to reg-3-bit-1 is False, then the register's final state would be 0xFFFD. However, if reg-3 did not have the form specified (capturing the whole register) then the final value would be 0x0005.

Triggers

Triggers are applied to parameter data to determine different operations that are required to trigger to certain inputs. An example of triggers can be seen in the sample device parameter file below,

...
parameters:
  reg-0:
    source: poll
    form:
      type: Param
      address: 0
      idx: reg-0
    triggers:
      process:
        store:
          - [always]
        event:
          - [state]
        send:
          - [state]
          - [time, 30]
      write:
        validators:
          - trig_type: range
            min: 0
            max: 255
          - trig_type: comparison
            ref_name: current_state
            ref_key: mode
            comp_type: e
            comp_value: 1  
          - trig_type: in_list
            lst:
              - 0
              - 1
      collect:
        read:
          - [deadline, 3600]
...

There are three trigger types, process, write and collect.

Process

Process triggers are triggers which when called process the parameter data. They can have 3 different states (send, event, store). Each process trigger states have different types. Process types describe when these events will trigger.

  • Send - A send state will send the data on this trigger.
  • Event - An event state will trigger an event.
  • Store - A store state will store the data on this trigger.
Process Trigger Types
  • state - When the parameter data changes state (i.e. value), this will trigger.
  • time - When a specified period of time has passed (in seconds) this will trigger.
  • delta - When the parameter data has changed by a specified amount (delta) this will trigger.
  • always - This will always trigger when the triggers are fired.
  • and - This will perform an and operation on the data. Fires when the result of this operation is true.
  • comparison - Compares this parameter with another parameter on the same device. Triggers when the result is true. Current supported operations are, greater than (g), greater than equal to (ge), less than (l), less than equal to (le), equal (e).

Write

Write triggers are triggers which when called write the parameter data to a device. They can have 1 state(validators). Each process trigger states have different types. Write types describe when these events will trigger.

  • Validators - Validators will validate the parameter write trigger based on the trigger types passed to it.
Write Trigger Types
  • range - Triggers when the data to write is within the range specified.
  • in_list - Triggers when the data is in the list of values provided.
  • comparison - Compares this parameter with another parameter on the same device. Triggers when the result is true. Current supported operations are, greater than (g), greater than equal to (ge), less than (l), less than equal to (le), equal (e).

Collect

Collect triggers are triggers which when called collect the parameter data. They can have 1 state (read). This can have one trigger type.

  • Read - A read state will collect the parameter data on a read operation.
Collect Trigger Types
  • deadline - When a deadline is reached this will trigger.

Sequencing

Allows for sequencing operations for parameter operations

Write Sequencing

Parameters that need to have a special way to be written can use write sequencing. Write sequencing is called after the validators are passed. This allows a small subset of operations that can be done every time the write_parameters call is done either through code or MQTT Commands such as "set-parameters"

  system-reset:
    #...
    sequences: # Negative pulse trigger (>100ms)
      write:
        - type: write_value
          value: 1
        - type: write_value
          value: 0
        - type: wait
          seconds: 0.2
        - type: write_value
          value: 1

Write Sequencing Types

  • write - Writes the value as specified in the payload. This is the default operation if no sequence is specified

  • write_value - Writes a specified value to the parameter overriding the value set in the parameter payload.

    • value - The value to set to the parameter
  • wait - Waits the specified number of seconds before moving to the next step

    • seconds - The seconds to wait
  • write_parameter_value - Writes a specified value to another parameter by name

    • parameter - The parameter name to write to
    • value - The value to write to the parameter
  • write_parameter - Writes the value from this parameter to another parameter by name

    • parameter - The parameter name to write to

Aggregations

Aggregates can be applied to parameter data before being sent onwards to its destination. An example use of aggregation can be seen in the sample device parameter file below,

...
parameters:
  reg-0:
    source: poll
    form:
      type: Param
      address: 0
      idx: reg-0
    triggers:
      process:
        send:
          - [state]
          - [time, 30]
      aggregations:
        - latest
        - samples
        - min
        - max
        - sum
...

Aggregations is a list passed from the parameter to pyAWARE to inform pyAWARE that these aggregations are to be performed.
Currently supported aggregations (NOTE: If aggregations are not defined, the default aggregation operations performed are samples and latest),

  • samples - Returns the total number of samples taken (poll intervals) for the current sending operation as defined in triggers.
  • latest - Returns the latest sample for the current sending operation as defined in triggers.
  • sum - Returns the sumation of all samples for the current sending operation as defined in triggers.
  • min - Returns the minimum of all samples for the current sending operation as defined in triggers.
  • max - Returns the maximum of all samples for the current sending operation as defined in triggers.

  • Changed the address-bypass values from True/False to 1/0 for ease of reading.
  • Changed the range of addresses read so that the array length is definitely 40 with 0 always false.
AWARE-655 'SCADA' Integration using EIP CIP Library
  • Added a custom device topic to local MQTT parsers. This is to allow devices to publish specific topics dependent on their operation. Hence this use case is for writing gas values to safe gas.

  • Allowed the device translator to set a poll interval for each device. Allowed the modbus client to tell all of its devices its connection state. Captured an error where the modbus device never recovered upon disconnection by giving it 1 second to attempt reconnect before next read. Renamed the horizon test power meter to match its cloud id.
  • Moved poll_pipeline to outside of Attribute Error exception. This ensures we still capture Attribute errors of poll_pipeline in logs.
  • Ensured integer is encoded on server translator.
  • Added a parambits test for encoding and initialised the input address map with the parameter address so that bitwise operations can be performed.
  • Added a grouping for parameters as a transform. This was specifically done to create a list of parameters to put into a bitmask. Added a test to test this function as well.

  • Preserved the ModbusTCPClient protocol if it had been intialised already. Moved the read handle in Modbus device to account for this and client disconnect event in the read loop.
  • Removed read handles. Replaced with read_registers, with a register type received from config. Added a client disconnect check while reading the modbus device, so that logs are not constantly generated from failed reads. Waits for restablished comms before attempting to read again.
  • Added watchdog to monitor ethernet comms status of all modbus devices. Added watchdog to monitor serial comms status of SP PRO devices. Added watchdog to monitor cloud communications status with gatewayipc only available if a reference to the cloud broker is added in config.
  • Added watchdog to monitor ethernet comms status on Modbus Device.
AWARE-380 Add Selectronic Addresses to PyAWARE
  • Added selectronic devices to the modbus server. BMS parameters are the only parameters being read in at this stage.
  • Added Solar Inverter to selectronic Modbus Server Table.
  • Added the battery inverter addresses to the modbus server.
AWARE-311 PyAWARE Slave Start Up Tasks

  • Removed set fieldbus address from master
  • Removed start up fieldbus set from config for master.py
  • Removed RTS dynamic load and ip address config
  • Added RTS controller device
  • Fixed an issue where the client host configuration files were writing up too many folder levels now that the architecture has changed

  • Commands now have an optional destination so that you can address imac controllers and rts controllers by serial number
  • Added init method to all controllers and updated the _main method to call these on start-up. This allows us to sequence the start-up more sequentially allowing things like having the imac controller auto detect but not having messages missed because it read data and "sent" it before the mqtt broker was set up
  • Fixed issue with command destination not working for top level controller
  • Changing parameters so that the module type and controller type of RTS will reuse the same parameters.

  • Added basic memory line profiler to command line args
  • Changed the memory profile directory to match the cpu profile directory
  • Optimised form message by removing "remove_keys" and delegating it to the pydantic library. Reduces cpu usage from form_message for telemetry by 66%
  • Remove deepcopy for memory storage element for increased performance
  • Improved run_triggers performance by remoing iteration on every data item if it doesn't exist in the triggers

  • Added a new config reader to transformations.py to allow transformations to be built from a reference dictionary.
  • Added a reference for objects associated with translator.
  • Added modbus server writes to the translator, modbus devices and sp pro devices. Allowed for different modbus server register types.

  • Refactored code to allow for multiple sources to schedule reads
  • Added postbox read to gasguard 2
  • Added postbox triggers for reading and sending
  • Refactored timestamp commands to use the new read parameters
  • Removed sync read/write versions from modules.py as they are no longer used and were clogging up the file
  • Renamed telemetry-time to telemetry-test-time to be clearer on the parameter naming
  • Renamed calibration-time to linearity-test-time to be clearer on the parameter naming
  • Fixed test due to changed command name
  • Added linearity test due parameter which is 6 months from the last linearity test
  • Refactored modbus config parsing to be able to parse multiple sources and specify which modbus read type to use
  • Changed from partial functions to a factory functions as partial functions were showing warnings during shutdown that they were not scriptable (This issue is fixed in python 3.8)
AWARE-206
  • Cleaned up modbus read handler so it doesn't need to be grabbed each loop
  • Added EMAX2 config file
  • Added ekipelsig.yaml
  • Fixed some scaling factors to match datasheet

AWARE-212
  • First draft of IPD.yaml
  • Fixed issue where sum could cause an error when summing a string
  • Updated IPD addressing to match datasheet
  • Fixed references from IPB to IPD
  • Apparently IPSIs are weird and ignore your starting address. Eg. reading from address 258 as your start address will actually return address 257 but reading from address 257 will return 257. I've adjusted the block start to address 1 so that the modbus addresses line up the data sheet.
  • Updating IPB and IPC to use the numerical over current curve instead of strings
  • Removing sum aggregate as it should not be done here but should use aggregation framework

  • Added frequency
  • Fixed modbus blocks to stop illegal address errors due to devices not having modbus blocks throughout the whole address space
AWARE-227
  • Updated to use modbus library with fixes to timeouts
  • Updated modbus to parse through address_shift to fix issue with IPDs not reading
RTGM-232
  • Added aggregations to build from config
  • Added aggregations to devices before sending
  • Updated the MQTT models and factories to accommodate the changes
  • Changed the default aggregations to the test device to check all the aggregation types
  • Added some config tests
  • Updated dev_gcp config to use manual aware_version
  • Added the aggregation tests
  • Modified the all aggregation for more performance
  • Updated config files to always store data for substation monitoring devices

  • Updated the storage triggers on most imac modules to take advantage of the send aggregations
  • Updated config files to no longer do unnecessary storage triggers as the send trigger will now correctly store the current data.

  • Fixed issue in hbmqtt where the resolved mqtt message was not showing in logging
  • Added config file logging parameters to be able to disable certain logging functions logging: to_file: true # Setting to false will stop the AWARE.log default logging to happen to_stdout: true # Setting to false will stop it showing in the console or journalctl mqtt_log: true # Setting to false will stop the mqtt messages logging to individual topic files and will be hidden from the other loggers
  • Added scheduled restart
  • Refactored auto update into maintenance
  • Fixed auto update tests
  • Added hour parameter for future proofing more refined scheduled restarts
RTGM-200
