Autonomous Features

The Autonomous features in a RAZN products can really help cities and states prepare for extreme weather disasters, and run very safely.

This Autonomous IoT device (AIoT) works on networks or Cloud servers, but it also work great,  autonomously, without necessary network or IoT connections.

Set Timers: To trigger an specific Operation event.

Setup Operations:  To do, such as read digital inputs, read buttons, read voltages, check register values, read temperature, or dozens of other operations. If the operation triggers an Action, it will take an Action.

Setup Actions: To do if the operation triggered an alert. Put out a voltage, send a message, turn on an light, turn on a valve, beep a siren, send a text message, send a SCADA alert,  of dozens of other actions.

At the end of the Action time duration you choose a Final Action takes place if you want.  Turn off the light, turn off the valve, turn off the sirent, or whatever final action you desire.

The RAZN also does many other Autonomous things other RTUs cannot do:

1. Count the number of changes in an input (digital in, button, light sensor,..)
2. Record the time a digital input, or button, or sensor, goes up to a 1 or down to a 0.
3. Record the maximum value in some registers that measure voltages, pulses/second, pulses/minute, pulses/hour.
4. Change an output based upon the status of some inputs, such as voltages, pulses, digial bits, buttons, …

RAZN IO Features

The Remote Autonomous Zone Node (RAZN) has many Terminal IO options. The terminals can connect to Sensors to Monitor remote parameters.
A website shows the RAZN IO Terminal Versions. Most have two 12-pin terminals on them.

Configuring A RAZN.

Each RAZN version is preset with all features. Use them as they are, in great ways.  If you want, you can Programming a RAZN with hundreds of other features.
Raveon’s RAZN technology is easy to used “As Is”, so most user’s don’t have to configure.  Here is the configuration information

1. You can have Raveon’s customer support team preset any features you want.
2. There are dozens of RAZN versions, each one is automatically setup by Raveon the way it should work.
3. There are hundreds of Commands that can be executed to turn on or off features. The User manual describes all of these.
4. Commands can be done on the RS-422 or Ethernet interface.
5. There is a Revision Code code in all RAZN version, that show the list of versions used.
6. The PLxx command is also added to the RAZN to automatically preset a large list of features, by entering on number (xx) in that command.
   Tell Raveon: a big list of features to already have setup in your version.
   Raveon will add a (xx) parameter to execute and automatically do ALL your desired features with one command.

Reduce Current Consumption over Time, and WAKE-UP when needed.

Easy to use a RAZN in a solar-powered battery remote area.  The TOAA feature can run in very lower-power mode to have very low current consumption.

Inside the RAZN is s small battery that keeps the Real Time Clock (RTC) running, when powered down.    The RTC  Timer triggers Operations, Actions and  Alerts (TOAA).
Each TOAA can have 1 to 4 Actions assigned to it.  Set the Timer action time as long as you what.  And 4 Actions can take place.  To run in pow-power modes, the actions can be:

1. Turn on the Power and Run the RANZN’s TOAA actions.
2. Read the sensors the way you want, and stored the sensor data.
3. Listen for messages, or automatically send messages based on the data and sensors you want.
4. When all 3 above are done, in xx number of mS, turn the device off again.

These 4 actions will take place whenever you want to do that. Every minute, hour, 8 hours, days, weeks, or whatever TOAA rate you want.

When the RAZN powers off, current consumption will be lower than  0.1mA. If this is done every 4 hours, the average daily current draw will be lower than  0.2mA.

Use RAZN for Emergency Management

IoT devices like the RAZN are:

• They are low powered – battery, solar, and low current.
• Low unit cost
• They will have limited processing power and memory, although the RAZN is smart and Autonomous processor.
• Operate over a wide variety of ranges, and the RAZN has more wide-range private wireless options than any other IoT device.

The Wide Area Network (WAN) range if the RAZN can cover from 10kM to 200kM. Raveon offers a variety of radio options for all types of systems.

The Wireless and Ethernet interfaces are good IoT connections to Cloud Servers, and the Autonomous features within a RAZN makes your system safe and reliable if the IoT were to stop running.

Smart and High Performance

Designed in 2018, the ARM processor is much higher performance and lower power than RTUs design 10 years ago. CPU processing power provides accurate data analysis and communication for the most critical, and demanding SCADA applications to ensure optimal operation.

The RZN is designed to use a variety of digital, analog, and switched power interfaces so you are never locked into proprietary solutions. The flexible communications capability enables the RZN to connect with hundreds of local devices, analyze the data, and send that status information to various other locations. Data transmission and processing is supported simultaneously across multiple communication media and industry standard data protocols including MODBUS.

Real-Time Process Automation And Robust Communication
