The BeanDevice includes a series of protection mechanisms against unauthorized configurations: If the BeanDevice is operating in sleep mode or sleep mode with network listening: If the user sends an OTAC parameter to configure a data acquisition cycle under 4s, no action will be taken by the BeanDevice. If the BeanDevice is operating in active power mode with a data acquisition cycle under 4s:
Page : 14 / 80
If the user sends an OTAC parameter to switch in sleep mode or sleep mode with network listening, no action will be taken by the BeanDevice.
If the data acquisition cycle of your Beandevice is short, its autonomy will decrease. Dont forget to configure your BeanDevice power mode in sleep mode or sleep mode with network listening if you want to increase its autonomy.

STREAMING & STREAMING PACKET MODE
8.4.1
Description
Streaming & Streaming Packet mode are dedicated to dynamic data acquisition (vibration, strain gage, deformation, acceleration): Streaming Packet is more suitable for users requiring a high data sampling rate (maximum 5 KSps). In order to achieve these performances, data sampling are transmitted by packet; Streaming is more suitable for users requiring a real-time data transmission (with time latency under 10ms). Sampling rate value depends highly on the number of sensor channels activated.
For completing this type of data acquisition, the BeanDevice provides others options: Streaming/Streaming Packet with sleep mode activated: The BeanDevice transmits all the data acquisition with a sampling rate of fs (1/t3), an acquisition duration of (t2) and a data acquisition cycle (t) defined by the end-user. Streaming / Streaming packet with continuous monitoring option activated: the BeanDevice sends the data acquisition in streaming mode without stopping. This mode is adapted for continuous monitoring on machines.

Take notice: 1 KSPS == 1Ksamples per second with a resolution of 16-bits
Page : 24 / 80
If you define a sampling rate beyond the maximum capacity allowed on the BeanDevice, it will be automatically fitted.
Streaming packet mode is optimized for a dynamic data acquisition, it offers the following features: For a better battery autonomy, all the data acquisition are transmitted by packet (45 data samples are encapsulated in a packet) The BeanDevice offers a high accuracy sampling rate (accuracy based on a crystal: +/-20ppm) Sampling data operation is not stopped during wireless transmission of the packet ; The cutoff frequency of the anti-aliasing filter can be configured from the BeanScape software (available only on the following products: BeanDevice AX-3D and BeanDevice HI-INC)
Math Mode, Streaming Mode & Streaming Packet Mode special cases: The Data acquisition duration must be lower than Data Acquisition cycle. The Data Acquisition cycle is automatically adjusted by the BeanDevice in case of a configuration error. A margin of 10s between these two parameters is fixed by the BeanDevice.
In Streaming & Streaming Packet mode: PER will increase proportionately with the sampling rate, mainly if several BeanDevice are connected on the same WSN. It is recommended to test several WSN topologies in order to find the right suitability between the WSN size and the sampling rate. For further information, read the technical note: RF_TN_003 - Wireless Network capacity
Due to sampling rate synchronization constraint, an OTAC (Over-the-air-configuration) will not be possible when Streaming Packet/Streaming is started. Be sure that your BeanDevice configuration is correct before starting the Streaming/Streaming packet mode. In the case of a wrong configuration, read the section Restrictions in streaming & streaming packet mode.

Low duty cycle Data Acquisition (LDCDA) Alarm Survey
Description
Low duty cycle data acquisition is adapted for static measurement (tilt, pressure, temperature) requiring a low power consumption on your BeanDevice. The duty cycle can be configured between 1 data acquisition & transmission per second to 1 data acquisition & transmission per day. Data acquisitions are transmitted by radio whenever an alarm threshold (fixed by the user) is reached (4 alarms threshold levels High/Low). Survey mode is a mix between the LDCDA mode and Alarm mode. A data acquisition is transmitted Whenever an alarm threshold (fixed by the user) is reached (4 alarm threshold levels High/Low). A transmission cycle is reached, the transmission cycle is configurable through the BeanScape 1s to 24h ;
Data Acquisition mode
Streaming Packet
Streaming packet is more suitable for users requiring a high data sampling rate (maximum 5 KHz). In order to achieve these performances, data sampling are transmitted by packet; Streaming mode is more suitable for users requiring a real-time data transmission (with time latency under 10ms). Smart shock detection mode is only available on the BeanDevice AX-3DS. If a shock threshold is detected, the Beandevice starts to transmit all the data acquisition to the BeanGateway.
Streaming
SSD (Smart Shock Detection)
Data acquisition Cycle
Select the Data acquisition cycle between 1s and 24hours. The format is: Day : Hour : Minute :Second
Page : 40 / 80
Select the sampling rate of your BeanDevice between 1 sample per second and 5000 Samples per second maximum. The resolution is 1 sample per second. If DataLogger is selected, the maximum sampling rate is 2000 samples per second.
Sampling rate
This field is available in streaming, streaming packet, and math mode Choose carefully the Sampling rate value: The PER (Packet Error Rate) can increase if the Sampling rate is high on your BeanDevice. For further information read the technical note RF_TN_003 V1.0- Wireless Network capacity
Power consumption increases with the sampling rate of your BeanDevice
Data acquisition duration / Transmission Ratio
Data acquisition duration in streaming, streaming packet, and math mode. The format is Day : Hour : Minute :Second The Data acquisition duration value can be higher than Data acquisition cycle. Transmission Ratio in Survey mode (N) Transmission Cycle = N x Data Acquisition Cycle Tx only: The BeanDevice transmits the data acquisition without Datalogging Log only: The Beandevice logs the data acquisition without wireless transmission

Parameter Alarm threshold
Description
You can configure threshold high values (H1, H2) and low values (L1,L2) . In alarm mode, when a higher low threshold value is reached, an alarm notification is transmitted to the BeanGateway ; If the sensor value is higher than H1/H2, an alarm notification is send to the BeanGateway/BeanScape; If the sensor value is lower than L1/L2, an alarm notification is send to the BeanGateway/BeanScape;. Threshold values must be organized in this manner: H2>= H1 > L1>=L2
10.2.3 Sensor alarms window The BeanScape provides user a detailed and neatly viewed alarm list (four user configurable alarms Up/Down). A real time diagnostic alarm is generated by the BeanAir expert system. Select the desired platform by clicking on Tools scrolling menu available on the left side pane. Then Click :

Event combination
The user can use two logical combinations: AND and OR combination on the axis event selection. Fix the shock detection threshold Unit value: g The resolution of the threshold value depends on the acceleration range of the accelerometer. On the axis event selection frame, if the High Axis is selected, the value of the threshold will be positive.
Page : 63 / 80
If the Low axis is selected, the value of the threshold will be negative. Example: For a threshold value fixed at 2g, if X High Axis OR X Low Axis is selected. For all the values upper than 2g on the X Axis, a shock event is detected For all the values less than -2g on the X Axis, a shock event is detected.
Page : 64 / 80
Axis event selection
The user can choose on which axis the shock event is affected: X Axis High, X Axis Low, Y Axis High, Y axis Low, Z Axis High, Z Axis Low. The combination AND/OR is not available for two events on the same axis, i.e. these combinations are not possible: X High and/or X Low, Y High and/or Y Low, Z High and/or Z Low. Several configuration of shock detection are possible on the same axis:
The user selects XX Axis Low, all the shocks are detected on the following acceleration range [-TH_VALUE ;+TH_VALUE ];
+ Range_MAX
+TH_VAL
Measurement is OK
Shock Detection Area
