Reading (polling) cycle
During the reading intervals, the following tasks are performed:
Polling can apply to both Planon managed, and custom managed connectors (but only when the latter is using the Pull mechanism).• Collects all active connectors.
• A connector is active if its status in Planon Software Suite is set to Active manually.
• Collects all active measurement points linked to these connectors.
• A measurement point is active if its status in Planon Software Suite is set to Active manually.
• Communicates with the sensoring system(s) and collects occupancy data from all active measurement points.
• The connector defines the API to the sensoring system (web service).
• Updates every active measurement point based on the occupancy data received (only when a change is detected). This update is performed on the measurement point, linked to the location.
• Stores historical data.
Some of these tasks depend on configuration settings.
