Technical Field

Background

The new energy industry has developed earlier, and a large number of existing devices exist in the market, namely, data reporting and device control are provided for monitoring devices through serial communication, such as an RS485 interface and Modbus protocol; however, in some occasions requiring wireless access and high energy consumption, device access and data transparent transmission are required to be performed through a serial port-to-wireless communication module, such as an RS485/RS 232-to-Bluetooth BLE module.

In the prior art, only after the Bluetooth transmission module and the monitoring equipment are connected, the information of the energy equipment connected with the Bluetooth transmission module can be obtained. Further, if the bluetooth signal of one energy device is not good, or if the communication time-out is caused by the failure of the energy device, the shared connection of the monitoring device is occupied for a long time, so that other energy devices cannot get a connection opportunity, and when a large number of energy devices need to be accessed, the user can hardly find the energy device which wants to be connected. In addition, the Bluetooth BLE module only carries out data transmission between the energy equipment and the monitoring equipment, and the RS485 is half-duplex equipment in a request/response mode; therefore, to accomplish the above requirements, the monitoring device needs to constantly poll the energy device through the bluetooth forwarding module, which will bring about a larger bluetooth BLE communication overhead and increase energy consumption.

Example 1

Fig. 1 is a schematic structural diagram of a gateway device for acquiring device information in the first embodiment of the present application, where the present embodiment is applicable to a case of acquiring device information, as shown in fig. 1, the gateway device 100 specifically includes: memory 110, serial communication interface 120, processor 130, and bluetooth MESH module 140;

wherein the memory 110 is configured to store device identification rules.

It should be noted that the device identification rule may be preset in the gateway device in advance by the system, or may be added to the gateway device after the user defines the device identification rule by a second device, where the second device may be a monitoring device, for example, may be a mobile terminal.

In this embodiment, the memory is configured to store device identification rules, where the device identification rules may include: register address, word length, operators, and condition values, or the device identification rules may also include: register address interval, operators, and condition values. For example, each rule may be expressed as: when (condition 1) is satisfied, broadcasting (a device parameter stored in a register or preset information corresponding to the device parameter stored in the register); or may be expressed as: when (condition 1 and condition 2) is satisfied, broadcasting (a device parameter stored in a register or preset information corresponding to the device parameter stored in the register); or may be expressed as: when (condition 1) is not satisfied and (condition 2) is satisfied, broadcasting (a device parameter stored in a register or preset information corresponding to the device parameter stored in the register); or may be expressed as: when (condition 1) is not satisfied, and (condition 2 and condition 3) are satisfied, then broadcasting (a device parameter stored in a register or preset information corresponding to the device parameter stored in the register), wherein each "condition" may be expressed as: [ device parameters stored in registers ] (greater than or less than or equal to or pattern matching) [ condition values ].

A serial communication interface 120, the serial communication interface 120 being configured to establish a communication connection with a first device.

The serial communication interface 120 may be any one of RS485, RS232, and RS422, and is mainly used for serial communication. The first device may be an electronic device, for example, an energy device. The serial communication interface is connected with the first device and can establish communication connection with the first device.

The first device also includes a communication interface, for example, any one interface of RS485, RS232 and RS422, and meanwhile, the first device also supports a Modbus communication protocol, and based on the communication protocol, data transmission can be performed between the first device and the gateway device.

A processor 130, the processor 130 being configured to determine an information content of device information characterizing the first device according to the device identification rule.

Wherein the processor may determine information content of device information characterizing the first device according to device identification rules. For example, the processor may be configured to obtain device parameters of the electronic device according to the device identification rule and process the obtained device parameters of the electronic device to determine information content of device information for characterizing the electronic device. The device parameter may be a parameter stored in a register read from a register address range in the device identification rule. The device information may be attribute information of the first device, and may be, for example, at least one of a device type, a device name, and a device identifier. The processor also processes and encapsulates the device information of the electronic device to form information content suitable for bluetooth MESH transmission, so that the bluetooth MESH module 140 in the gateway device can broadcast the information content.

A bluetooth MESH module 140 configured to broadcast the information content to enable the second device to obtain device information of the first device when scanning the gateway device.

The second device may be a monitoring device, for example, may be a mobile terminal; preferably, the second device may be a smart phone of the user. When a user scans Bluetooth device signals through the second device, the gateway device broadcasts information content of the device information used for representing the first device, so that the second device can directly scan and acquire the device information of the first device. Compared with the prior art that only the equipment information of the gateway equipment and the equipment information of the first equipment connected with the gateway equipment can be obtained by scanning and the equipment information of the first equipment which is connected with the gateway equipment can be known after the gateway equipment is connected, the embodiment can conveniently enable a user to accurately identify the equipment information of the first equipment when the gateway equipment is connected by scanning, is convenient for the user to directly connect to the first equipment which is expected to be connected, and improves the use experience of the user.

Meanwhile, compared with the Bluetooth BLE module, the Bluetooth MESH module can allow a large number of devices to be distributed at the same time, the devices of the distribution network can communicate at any time, and the transmission distance can be expanded through the relay node defined by the Bluetooth MESH technology. By configuring the gateway device with the function, a user can accurately identify and connect to the first device to be connected when scanning the gateway device in an application scene with a plurality of gateway devices, whether the first device needs to be connected or not is judged after trying to connect to one gateway device and reading the device information of the first device connected with the gateway device, if not, the next gateway device needs to be tried after disconnecting the connection with the current gateway device, and networking efficiency and user experience are improved.

Optionally, the processor is configured to determine information content of device information for characterizing the first device according to the device identification rule, including:

the processor is configured to obtain a first register address interval of the first device and a first device parameter corresponding to the first register address interval according to the device identification rule;

determining the first equipment parameter or preset information corresponding to the first equipment parameter as information content of equipment information for representing the first equipment in response to the first equipment parameter meeting a first preset condition; or alternatively, the process may be performed,

responding to the first equipment parameter meeting a first preset condition, and continuously acquiring a second register address interval of the first equipment and a second equipment parameter corresponding to the second register address interval according to the equipment identification rule;

and in response to the second equipment parameter meeting a second preset condition, determining the first equipment parameter or preset information corresponding to the first equipment parameter as information content of equipment information for representing the first equipment.

Wherein obtaining a first register address interval of the first device includes:

Acquiring a first register address and a first word length of the first device;

and determining a first register address interval of the first device according to the first register address of the first device and the first word length.

The first register address is a register address included in the device identification rule, and the first word length is a length of a first register address interval.

Specifically, the determining the first register address interval of the first device according to the first register address and the first word length of the first device may be: the method comprises the steps of obtaining a first register address and a first word length in a device identification rule, and calculating a first register address interval according to the first word length and the first register address. For example, the device identification rule may be as shown in table 1:

TABLE 1

In table 1, it is possible to obtain: if the first register address is 1200 and the first word length is 8, the first register address interval is 1200-1207.

The first device parameter is a device parameter stored in a first register address interval; optionally, the first device parameter is used to characterize a device type of the first device. The first preset condition is a preset condition in the device identification rule, and the preset condition may be expressed as [ a device parameter stored in a register address section ] (greater than or less than or equal to or pattern matching) [ a condition value ]. For example, the preset condition may be that "the device parameter stored in the first register address section is equal to the character string 'Solar'". The preset information corresponding to the first device parameter is also preset information in the device identification rule, and the preset information can be set as the device parameter stored in the address interval of the first register, or can be other information preset in the program. Taking table 1 as an example, when the device parameter stored in the address interval of the first register is directly adopted as the device information of the first device, the "Solar" is directly adopted as the device information of the first device; when the preset information corresponding to the first device parameter is determined as the device information of the first device, the "SOLR" is used as the device information of the first device because the preset information in the device identification rule presets the "SOLR" field.

Specifically, in response to the first device parameter meeting a first preset condition, determining the first device parameter or preset information corresponding to the first device parameter as information content of device information for characterizing the first device, that is,: acquiring a first register address interval of first equipment and first equipment parameters corresponding to the first register address interval according to equipment identification rules, judging whether the first equipment parameters meet first preset conditions, and if the first equipment parameters meet the first preset conditions, directly determining the first equipment parameters or preset information corresponding to the first equipment parameters as information content of equipment information for representing the first equipment.

In a specific example, if the first register address of the first device is 1008 and the first word length is 8, the first register address interval is 1008 to 1015, the first preset condition is "the device parameter stored in the first register address interval 1008 to 1015 is equal to the string 'Solar'", and the preset information corresponding to the first device parameter is "SOLR". Fig. 2 is a flowchart of executing a device rule according to the first embodiment of the present application, as shown in fig. 2, the processor obtains first register address intervals 1008 to 1015 of the first device and device parameters stored in the first register address intervals 1008 to 1015 according to the device identification rule, determines whether the device parameters stored in the first register address intervals 1008 to 1015 are equal to a character string "Solar", and if the device parameters stored in the first register address intervals 1008 to 1015 are equal to the character string "Solar", includes "SOLR" in the information content of the device information characterizing the first device and broadcasts the information content.

Alternatively, in some specific application scenarios, there may be multiple similar devices of different models/versions/parameters, for example, in off-grid photovoltaic energy storage scenarios, a user may use multiple batteries of different models in series-parallel with each other to store energy. At this time, if the device information of the first devices is determined according to whether the read first device parameters meet the first preset conditions, the model, version or parameter difference between each first device cannot be accurately distinguished. Therefore, another way of determining the information content of the device information for characterizing the first device according to the device identification rule is provided in this embodiment, which further adds a second preset condition to determine the device parameter based on the first preset condition to determine the device parameter, so that the difference between models, versions or parameters of the similar devices can be more accurately distinguished.

Specifically, in response to the first device parameter meeting a first preset condition, continuing to acquire a second register address interval of the first device and a second device parameter corresponding to the second register address interval according to the device identification rule; and in response to the second equipment parameter meeting a second preset condition, determining the first equipment parameter or preset information corresponding to the first equipment parameter as information content of equipment information for representing the first equipment, namely: when the first equipment parameter meets the first preset condition, the processor continuously acquires a second register address interval of the first equipment and a second equipment parameter corresponding to the second register address interval according to the equipment identification rule, judges whether the second equipment parameter meets the second preset condition, and if the second equipment parameter meets the second preset condition, determines the first equipment parameter or preset information corresponding to the first equipment parameter as information content of equipment information for representing the first equipment.

The determining manner of the second register address interval is similar to that of the first register address interval, and will not be described herein. The second device parameter is a device parameter stored in a second register address interval; preferably, the second device parameter is used to characterize a device model, a software version or a device parameter of the first device. The second preset condition is a preset condition set for a device parameter stored in the second register address section in the device identification rule.

Fig. 3 is a flowchart of another implementation of the device rule in the first embodiment of the present application, in a specific example, taking table 1 as an example, the first register address interval is 1200-1207, the first preset condition is "the parameter stored in the first register address interval 1200-1207 is equal to the character string 'packet'", the second register address interval is 1208-1209, the second preset condition is "the parameter stored in the second register address interval 1208-1209 is greater than '2'", and the preset information corresponding to the first device parameter is "BA02". As shown in fig. 3, if the parameter stored in the first register address section 1200-1207 of the first device is equal to the character string "bit", the processor continues to read the device parameter stored in the second register address section 1208-1209 of the first device according to the device identification rule, determines whether the device parameter stored in the second register address section 1208-1209 is greater than 2, if greater than 2, broadcasts "BA02", and determines "BA02" as the information content of the device information characterizing the first device. In this embodiment, the second register address interval is used for storing a software version number of a device, and when it is determined whether the device parameters stored in the second register address intervals 1208-1209 are greater than 2, the software version used by the first device is indicated to be V2.0, so that the broadcasted preset information "BA02" can simultaneously represent the device type and the device software version number of the first device, so that when the user obtains the preset information through the second device, the user can not only distinguish the corresponding device model, but also identify the software version of the device, and further more accurately identify the information of the first device with the gateway device.

Optionally, the processor is further configured to:

acquiring a third register address interval of the first device and a third device parameter corresponding to the third register address interval according to the device identification rule in response to the first device parameter not conforming to the first preset condition;

determining the third equipment parameter or preset information corresponding to the third equipment parameter as information content of equipment information for representing the first equipment in response to the third equipment parameter meeting a third preset condition; or alternatively, the process may be performed,

responding to the third equipment parameter meeting a third preset condition, and continuously acquiring a fourth register address interval of the first equipment and fourth equipment parameters corresponding to the fourth register address interval according to the equipment identification rule;

and in response to the fourth equipment parameter meeting a fourth preset condition, determining the third equipment parameter or preset information corresponding to the third equipment parameter as information content of equipment information for representing the first equipment.

The third register address interval, the third device parameter, the third preset condition, the fourth register address interval, the fourth device parameter and the fourth preset condition are only distinguished from the previous register address interval, device parameter and preset condition, and have no other meaning, and are not described herein.

Optionally, when the gateway device reads the device parameters in the first register address interval and/or the second register address interval according to the identification rule and performs device information identification, if the device information of the device cannot be matched, the gateway device may further continuously match and identify whether the first device currently connected is other device information according to other identification rules configured in the device identification rule. Therefore, the gateway device can repeatedly try a plurality of identification conditions set in the device identification rule until the device information of the first device can be identified, or after traversing all the identification conditions, the gateway device can not identify the device information, and then sends a reminding message of 'failure identification'.

Specifically, in this embodiment, if the first device parameter does not meet the first preset condition, a third register address interval of the first device and a third device parameter corresponding to the third register address interval are obtained according to the device identification rule; and in response to the third equipment parameter meeting a third preset condition, determining the third equipment parameter or preset information corresponding to the third equipment parameter as information content of equipment information for representing the first equipment. Namely: and when the first equipment parameter does not meet the first preset condition, the processor continuously acquires a third register address interval of the first equipment and a third equipment parameter corresponding to the third register address interval according to the equipment identification rule, judges whether the third equipment parameter meets the third preset condition, and if the third equipment parameter meets the third preset condition, determines the third equipment parameter or preset information corresponding to the third equipment parameter as information content of equipment information for representing the first equipment.

In a specific example, if the first preset condition is that the device parameter stored in the first register address interval 1008 to 1015 is equal to the string 'Solar', 'the third register address interval is the registers 1200 to 1207, the third preset condition may be that the device parameter stored in the third register address interval 1200 to 1207 is equal to the string' Battery ',' the preset information corresponding to the third device parameter is 'BA 02'. Fig. 4 is a flowchart of another implementation of the device rule according to the first embodiment of the present application, as shown in fig. 4, if the parameters stored in the first register address intervals 1008 to 1015 are not equal to the character string 'Solar', it is indicated that the first device currently connected to the gateway device is not a photovoltaic panel, and the processor needs to continuously determine whether the first device is a battery device according to the determination conditions configured in the device identification rule. Therefore, the processor continues to read the device parameters stored in the third register address sections 1200 to 1207 of the first device according to the device identification rule, determines whether the device parameters stored in the third register address sections 1200 to 1207 are equal to the character string "Battery", and if so, broadcasts "BA02", and determines "BA02" as the information content of the device information characterizing the first device.

Or as another optional implementation manner, in response to the third device parameter meeting a third preset condition, continuing to obtain a fourth register address interval of the first device and a fourth device parameter corresponding to the fourth register address interval according to the device identification rule; and in response to the fourth equipment parameter meeting a fourth preset condition, determining the third equipment parameter or preset information corresponding to the third equipment parameter as information content of equipment information for representing the first equipment. The method comprises the following steps: if the first equipment parameter does not meet the first preset condition, the processor continues to acquire a third register address interval of the first equipment and a third equipment parameter corresponding to the third register address interval according to the equipment identification rule, judges whether the third equipment parameter meets the third preset condition, if the third equipment parameter meets the third preset condition, the processor continues to acquire a fourth register address interval of the first equipment and a fourth equipment parameter corresponding to the fourth register address interval according to the equipment identification rule, and if the fourth equipment parameter meets the fourth preset condition, the processor determines the third equipment parameter or preset information corresponding to the third equipment parameter as information content of equipment information for representing the first equipment.

In a specific example, if the first preset condition is that the device parameter stored in the first register address interval 1008-1015 is equal to the character string 'Solar', 'third register address interval is the registers 1200-1207, the third preset condition may be that the device parameter stored in the third register address interval 1200-1207 is equal to the character string' Battery ',' fourth register address interval is the registers 1208-1209, the fourth preset condition may be that the device parameter stored in the fourth register address interval 1208-1209 is greater than '2', 'BA 02', and the preset information corresponding to the third device parameter is "BA02". Fig. 5 is a flowchart of another implementation of the device rule in the first embodiment of the present application, as shown in fig. 5, if the parameters stored in the first register address intervals 1008 to 1015 are not equal to the character string 'Solar', the processor continues to read the device parameters stored in the third register address intervals 1200 to 1207 of the first device according to the device identification rule, determines whether the device parameters stored in the third register address intervals 1200 to 1207 are equal to the character string "Battery", if equal to the character string "Battery", the processor continues to read the device parameters stored in the fourth register address intervals 1208 to 1209 of the first device according to the device identification rule, determines whether the device parameters stored in the fourth register address intervals 1208 to 1209 are greater than 2, and if greater than 2, broadcasts "BA02", and determines "BA02" as the information content of the device information characterizing the first device.

Optionally, the first preset condition includes: a first operator and a first condition value; the second preset condition includes: a second operator and a second condition value; the third preset condition includes: a third operator and a third condition value; the fourth preset condition includes: a fourth operator and a fourth condition value.

The condition value may be a fixed value, a character string, or a preset value in a certain Modbus register. For example, the preset condition may be that "the parameter stored in the fourth register address interval 1208-1209 is greater than '2'", where "greater than" is an operator, and "2" is a condition value.

Further, the processor in this embodiment is further configured to determine the information content for characterizing the recognition failure when the information content for characterizing the device information of the first device is not determined according to the device recognition rule.

Specifically, when the gateway device fails to recognize the device information of the first device after traversing the recognition conditions configured in all the recognition rules, it indicates that the device information of the first device is not preconfigured in the recognition rules or the first device belongs to a non-authentication device, so that the processor determines information content for representing recognition failure and broadcasts the information content through the bluetooth MESH module, so that a user can be reminded of abnormality of the first device currently connected with the gateway device when scanning the gateway device through the second device, and accordingly the user can check the first device correspondingly or configure a new device recognition rule through the second device.

As an alternative embodiment, the memory is further configured to store a device polling rule;

the processor is further configured to obtain target data for the first device according to the device polling rules;

the bluetooth MESH module is configured to transmit the target data to cause the second device to display the target data after receiving the target data.

The device polling rule may be a polling rule set by the system, or may be a polling rule customized by the user through the second device. It should be noted that, each rule of the device polling rules is executed independently, and is not affected; each rule can be expressed as: polling interval + data reporting mode.

The processor may acquire target data of the first device according to a device polling rule, where the target data may be state information of the first device, or may be an operating parameter of the first device.

The Bluetooth MESH module sends the target data to the second device, and the second device can display the target data after receiving the target data. For example, the gateway device may actively acquire the target data of the first device according to the device polling rule, where the target data of the first device may include a device state (such as a state of device opening, device closing, device abnormality, etc.) and/or a device parameter (such as a voltage, current, power, etc.), and integrate the target data of the first device into a data packet, where the bluetooth MESH module sends the target data to the second device through broadcasting, and the second device may display the target data after receiving the target data, so as to implement monitoring of the first device by the second device.

In a specific application scenario, fig. 6 is a schematic diagram of acquiring device information in the first embodiment of the present application, and as shown in fig. 6, the first device may be an energy device, and the second device may be a monitoring device. In fig. 6, a user self-defines a device identification rule and a device polling rule through a monitoring device (the step can be omitted, and the device identification rule and the device polling rule preset by a gateway device are directly utilized), the gateway device reads information content of device information for representing the energy device according to the device identification rule, and the monitoring device can directly acquire the device information of the energy device currently connected with the gateway device when scanning the gateway device; after the communication link is established with the monitoring device, the gateway device can also acquire target data of the energy device according to the device polling rule, and after the target data is acquired, the gateway device sends the target data to the monitoring device, and the monitoring device displays the target data after receiving the target data. Based on the technical scheme, the wireless connection and remote monitoring of the monitoring equipment to the energy equipment can be realized by utilizing the gateway equipment under the condition that the existing energy equipment only supports a serial communication mode.
