DataGuard

DataGuard is an Emiko-connected data product for collecting, logging, and forwarding measurement data to Emiko for monitoring, history, graphs, and related presentation.

It can be deployed as standalone equipment with connected sensors and inputs. It also serves as the shared DataGuard reporting layer behind products such as OceanWatcher, FlexVander, and WeatherStation.

Equipment Identity

Field	Value	Use
Equipment name	DataGuard	Use this name for the standalone product and for the shared reporting layer.
Equipment ID	`35`	Use with DataGuard equipment-type parameters when the reported value belongs to the DataGuard equipment itself.
Short name	`DAG`	Short equipment name used in the equipment reference.
Status	Implemented	Use the DataGuard setup pages for active DataGuard reporting paths documented in this branch.

What DataGuard Does

Collects measurements from analog inputs, 1-Wire sensors, selected decoded driver values, and supported digital input counter or timer values.
Assigns equipment type (EQT) and data type (DTY) for each value sent
Controls when values are logged and forwarded
Makes values available in Emiko for monitoring, graphs, and related presentation

Configuration Paths

Choose the path from where the value originates. Configure the source signal or profile first, then configure DataGuard reporting for the same channel or profile index.

Value source	Source setup owner	DataGuard reporting parameters	Product examples	Setup page
Analog input	Shared Runtime analog input settings	`VREQT#`, `VRDATATYPE#`, `VRLOGMODE#`, `VRLOGINT#`, `VRLOGHYS#`	Standalone DataGuard, WeatherStation wind direction, OceanWatcher water level, FlexVander field values	Analog Inputs
1-Wire channel	1-Wire Temperature Monitoring	`OTEQT#`, `OTDATATYPE#`, `OTLOGMODE#`, `OTLOGINT#`, `OTLOGHYS#`	Standalone temperature logging, OceanWatcher temperature, FlexVander field temperature	1-Wire
Driver profile	Driver Communication	`DEVEQT#`, `DEVDATATYPE#`, `DEVLOGDATA#`, `DEVLOGDATAINT#`, `DEVLOGDATAHYS#`	WeatherStation Thies package, OceanWatcher LR110/LR120 water level, EM voltage package	Driver Communication
Counter or timer	Shared Runtime digital inputs and counters	`VRCEQT#`, `VRCDATATYPE#`, `VRCLOGMODE#`, `VRCLOGINT#`, `VRCPROFILE#` when the selected selector requires a profile	Standalone counter/timer logging, WeatherStation wind speed, WeatherStation rain gauge	Counters and Timers

Digital input and counter source setup remains on Shared Runtime Digital Inputs and Counters. Use DataGuard via Counters and Timers when a configured counter or operating-time timer must be logged or exported onward to Emiko.

Product Cross-Reference

Product pages explain the product-specific setup first. Use the DataGuard pages for the full DataGuard reporting reference after the product-specific values are known.

Product	DataGuard use	Key setup values	Product page
WeatherStation	Weather values from driver profiles, analog wind direction, counter-based wind speed, counter-based rain gauge, and selected 1-Wire channels.	`DEVEQT#=23`, `DEVDATATYPE#=8000`, `VREQT#=23`, `VRCDATATYPE#=9008`, `VRCDATATYPE#=9009`, `VRCPROFILE#`	WeatherStation DataGuard setup
OceanWatcher	Water-level and temperature values from analog inputs, 1-Wire channels, and supported radar driver profiles.	`VREQT#=20`, `VRDATATYPE#=9007`, `DEVEQT#=20`, `DEVDATATYPE#=9007`, direct `DEVDATATYPE#=1201` where documented.	OceanWatcher Settings
FlexVander	Optional field and weather values can be forwarded through DataGuard when the delivered installation includes the matching sensors.	Use the DataGuard source path that matches the installed sensor. FlexVander does not own the shared DataGuard selector rules.	FlexVander overview

Setup Principle

Connected sensors, inputs, or product-specific functions deliver the raw value. DataGuard determines which equipment type and data type the value belongs to, and how it is logged and forwarded.

Set up the source first: analog scaling, 1-Wire channel mapping, Driver Communication profile setup, or digital input counter/timer setup.
Use the same channel number or profile index when adding the DataGuard reporting parameters.
Verify the live source value before relying on history, graphs, sharing, or monitoring in Emiko.

This makes DataGuard usable both as a standalone product and as a shared data layer across multiple products while the local sensor setup remains on the relevant product or subsystem page.

Reference Pages

The DataGuard pages explain the end-to-end workflow, activation rules, examples, and DataGuard reporting parameters. The shared subsystem pages keep the source setup and wider subsystem behavior.
