Terms and Definitions #

Asset — a unit monitored by UNUM Genset. Depending on the Solution, Assets can be vehicles (land, water, or rail transport), special machinery, Diesel generators, and other equipment equipped with a Telematics terminal and Onboard equipment. Several Assets (up to four) connected to a single Terminal form a pool.
Any Fleet user, including Operators and Viewers, can subscribe an Asset to Tasks, while only a Fleet superadministrator or Administrator can unsubscribe an Asset.

Asset SPN — a special SPN whose value is the result of automatically performed computational operations using a standard SPN from the S6 Database. Asset SPNs are used in Dashboard templates or Report templates only for Asset Groups and always have a network address (SA) value of 1000.

Counter — cumulative numerical characteristic of Parameter. Counter is displayed by a single number and over time its value may only increase. Examples of counters: fuel consumption for a certain period, trip, engine hours counter etc.

Classes — are categories of Tasks based on the volume of data included for processing. Each Class is defined by the total number of preset Keys it includes, which corresponds to the Class name (25, 50, 100).

Dashboards — are UNUM Genset software tools, designed for Operational monitoring of Parameters, Counters, Events and malfunctions of the Asset/Group. Data on the Dashboards are visualized with the help of various widgets — scales, graphs, Mnemonic, numerical indicators, lists, tables, the Map. The data composition and set of widgets on the Dashboard are determined by the appropriate Dashboard template selected from the list of Tasks for the Asset/Group.

Dashboard template — a set of widgets selected for Operational Monitoring of an Asset’s or Group’s performance. It is linked to a specific Task and configured for the corresponding Keys. Dashboard templates can be exported or imported as a *.tunum file. Only those Dashboard templates which were created or imported by this particular user are displayed in the account of each user.

Diesel generator (DG, Generator) — independent electric power source. It can be fixed or mobile. It consists of one or several internal combustion engines to produce mechanical power and one or several electric generators (alternators) for converting mechanical power into electric power.

Event — relatively rare and sudden change of Parameters. For example, sharp increase of fuel volume in the tank is a “Fuelling” Event. An Event may have one or several attributes. E.g. “Fuelling” Event has the following attributes: “fuel volume at the beginning of fuelling”, “fuel volume at the end of fuelling” and so on. When recording the Event, the Terminal records the time of its occurrence which is later indicated in the Event report. The Event is always linked to the time and location of its detection.

Fleet — initial organizational unit in UNUM Genset hierarchy which is the assembly of Assets — Diesel generators. Each Fleet has a unique name, one Superadministrator and several Administrators, Operators, Viewers.

Fleet administrator (Administrator) — one or several UNUM Genset users from among the Fleet personnel to whom the Fleet superadministrator has granted the rights of Management of Operators, Viewers, Assets, Groups, Virtual SPN.
The Administrator can also exercise Management of Dashboard templates and Report templates including Management using Operators’ accounts (when using their access rights).
The Administrator has access to creation of billing reports, checking the Fleet balance, activation/deactivation of Assets, subscription/cancelling subscription of Assets to Tasks.

Fleet operator (Operator) — one or several UNUM Genset users from among the Fleet personnel for whom rights of management of Dashboard templates and Report templates are granted by the Fleet administrators. An Operator also has access to subscription/subscription cancelling of Assets to Tasks.
Any members of the Fleet personnel can be Operators (e.g. — Director, Chief engineer, Accountant and others).

Fleet superadministrator (Superadministrator) — one of the Fleet administrators whose standard access rights are extended to include the ability to manage the accounts of all other Fleet administrators.

Function module (FM) — Unit-embedded component of hardware and software combination, executing a group of special functions. Uses input/output PGNs and settings PGNs.

GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) — system for area positioning of Assets through satellite signal processing. GNSS is composed of space, ground and user segments. Currently, there are the following GNSSs: GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, BeiDou.

Group (Group of assets) — two or more Fleet Assets grouped by the user according to some distinctive feature (e.g. brand, model, location etc.).

The basis of IoT Burger is the software/hardware core, a set of ready-to-use universal Function modules, the database of standartized IoT parameters. The Technology provides for the availability of several measurement channels in any device including pre-set analytical treatment (filtration, linearization, thermal compensation) and the controlled error of measurement. At present, 2G/3G/LTE/NB-IoT/Wi-Fi/BLE data transmission standards are used in devices with IoT Burger.

Keys — are data units included in a Task. Each Key has specific attributes: SA (Source Address) — the network address of the data source; SPN/VSPN — the monitored performance indicator of the Asset or Group (such as a Parameter or Counter); SPEC — a specifier for further detailing the indicator, if necessary.
Each Key corresponds to a single monitored indicator received from a specific source (sensor, ECU, etc.) and processed within the Task. By default, preset Tasks are filled with Keys by no more than 90%. At the Fleet level, additional SPN/VSPN Keys can be added to available free Keys within a Task.

Time intervals during which data on a specific Parameter/Counter were missing on the Server are marked in color on charts of Analytical reports, while the charts themselves in those intervals are drawn with a dashed line.

• In Analytical reports of Events, by using    field, you may search for the needed Event; by pressing
   buttons, you may filter lists of urgent, important and information Events. The number of Events in the corresponding list is indicated on each of these buttons. The total number of all recorded Events is listed in Total field.

By clicking icon in the line of the respective Event, you may open and view its attributes: Event SPN, source Unit network address, SPN of the Parameter for which the Event is recorded.

• In Analytical reports of Onboard equipment malfunctions you may view attributes for each malfunction: date and time of its occurrence, SID+FMI codes, network addresses of source Units.

Using field, you may search for the required malfunction by its code. By pressing buttons, you may filter lists of active and saved malfunctions accordingly. The number of malfunctions in the corresponding list is indicated on each of these buttons. The total number of all recorded malfunctions is indicated in Total field.

• In the Analytical reports for Asset Node maintenance, each criterion displays: the date of the last (shown in black) or overdue (shown in red) Node maintenance, the maximum and current values of the relevant resource Counter, the current percentage of resource utilization, and the username of the person who last reset the resource Counter.

Depending on resource utilization, the data may be displayed in black or red, indicating a normal status or one requiring immediate maintenance, respectively.

When you hover the cursor over any criterion, the following are shown: the network address of the relevant source Unit, the SPN number and Counter name, and the unit of measurement.

• In Analytical reports for trips of a mobile Asset, a list of trips for the selected period is provided. For each trip, the following are indicated: date and time, distance traveled, number of stops, and track color. Summary information for all Asset trips during the reporting period is shown at the bottom of the list.

To view the track and analyze details for a specific trip, click its line in the list. The selected trip’s track is highlighted in red on the Map, showing the start point (green marker Start) and end point (red marker Finish). When you click these points, pop-up windows appear, showing the start/end date and time, distance traveled, and number of stops. If the trip was not completed at the time the report was generated, the end point window will display the notification Trip isn’t completed.

If necessary, you can click any point on the track to view brief information about the Asset’s performance indicators at that specific point.

To display Asset stop markers on the track, check the Show stops box located above the Map. For accurate stop detection, it is recommended to enter a value of 30 seconds or more for the minimal stop duration in the Minimal stop duration, sec field.

If needed, clicking an Asset stop marker will open a pop-up window with brief information: duration of the stop, date and time, and location coordinates.

• In Analytical reports on the movement of a mobile Asset over a period longer than one week, the area of all trips is highlighted in blue on the Map, with red markers indicating stops (“heatmap” views of trip areas). The size of the markers is directly proportional to the number of stops the Asset made at each location. By clicking the desired marker, you can view a pop-up window listing the stop dates for the Asset at that location.

2) In the  Analytics tab, select the required SPN (up to 3) from the drop-down list of data accumulated on the Server from the relevant Asset or Group.

For convenience, you can search for Parameters in the drop-down list by their name, SPN number from the S6 Database, or the unique network address of the source Unit.

Specify the time period (see section 3.2) for which you want to analyze the changes in the selected data, and click button to generate the Multiple chart (see figure 22).

• The header of the generated Multiple chart always displays the selected time period and a legend indicating the color of each line, units of measurement, and network addresses of the source Units for the respective SPNs.
• When you hover the cursor over any chart in the Multiple chart, the corresponding values of all SPNs, along with the date and time for the selected point, are displayed.
• Legends are shown above the Multiple charts, indicating the color of the lines for the respective indicators. By clicking the name of any indicator in the legend, you can enable or disable the display of the corresponding chart.
• Below the Multiple chart, there is a time axis scaling/navigation bar, where you can conveniently highlight and zoom in on the desired section of the Multiple chart and move along the selected segment using two handles   . You can also zoom in on the desired section of the Multiple chart by selecting it while holding down the left mouse button. To reset the applied scaling/zoom, click    icon on the right side of the Multiple chart.
• If necessary, you can toggle the Y-axis starting from zero for the Multiple chart by clicking the Axes from 0 label.
