Tasker 3.0 April 20, 2020

It has been a while since Tasker was released. Tasker was a quick attempt at making a replacement for the Task Manager application that has been around for more than a decade, starting on the Series 3.

Ample time has now been taken to create a fully capable application that will be every bit as functional as Task Manager but offer the benefits of a rewrite, using configuration files and the latest web technology.

Some of the changes and new features are as follows:

  • Faster– The tasks are executed much faster and the triggers and schedule are monitored in real-time instead of once every 5 – 10 seconds.
  • Workspaces - Separate configuration logic into multiple workspaces. Then multiple workspaces can be loaded on the JNIOR at the same time.
  • Tasks are now separate from triggers. In Task Manager a Task was created and a Trigger was configured to get the Task to execute. In Tasker 3.0 Tasks are a separate entity that can be executed several different way including manual execution from the configuration page and being requested via an ASCII TCP connection.
  • Tasks can now send data via an Ethernet connection. To do this, a Device must be created so that the action can specify which device to send the data to. Multiple devices can be configured.
  • New Actions – We implemented actions that were previously available in Task Manager but are introducing many new actions like external module control, TCP communication and control structures.
  • Drag n Drop – Drag and Drop functionality makes it easier to design your Task logic.
  • Signals are now created to assign a specific property of a I/O point or sensor a name. The name can then be used in Tasks, Triggers or Loggers.
  • Loggers can be created to define the file name and schema or what data should be logged to that file. Each line in a Logger will be prepended with a timestamp followed by a comma. Loggers also allow you to define the number of files that should be kept with the given naming pattern. Name patterns can include date patterns. This will help you create a file per day for example.
  • Schedule – The schedule has additional options.
  • JSON Configuration files are used now instead of registry keys. Registry keys were limiting in size. The Series 3 could only store 255 characters in a registry key. It is much easier to upload configuration files to other JNIORs to replicate setups.
  • User Interface – The User Interface is now a native HTML application that uses the latest web technology. The latest web technology uses native HTML controls and Web-sockets to communicate with the JNIOR from your browser. This will allow accessibility over remote connections as long as port 80 is available. This is now consistent with the communication method used by the DCP. Task Manager had always used Java Applets. The Java Applets have not been able to launch in browsers for several years as they became frowned upon as security vulnerabilities.

This was just a short list of changes and new features. The documentation for Tasker should explain these topics as well as many others. If there is anything you don't understand please reach out to us for help. Additionally, if you have any suggestions or need the JNIOR to do something specific for you, please let us know.

JANOS 1.9 Release February 3, 2020

Release Notes

We have released JANOS v1.9 which has several changes and bug fixes. Most notably with TCP packet generation. While it is not wrong to send data in multiple TCP packets, many devices incorrectly implement TCP clients and fail when this case arises. This version adjusted the release of socket data to reduce the chances that a message might be split across separate TCP packets. This had been a recent issue with some MODBUS client devices.

MQTT 3.0 Released January 22, 2020

Name Version Release Date Size MD5
MQTT v3.0 Jan 21 2020 489.9 KB f6a905a5bdc100eae728d250da4c7439

New functionality has been added to the MQTT 3.0 application.

When changing settings in the MQTT application, a reboot will not be needed to get the new settings to take hold. Before when you wanted to change any setting on the MQTT application, after they were saved you would have to reboot to update those changes. Now when you click save change at the top right, the changes are applied at that moment.

Changed how information was processed so that when its retrieved, it will not be as slow when it was using the contain() method. The contain() method referenced more information in an inefficient way. Now the program is configured to get the most relevant information in a much cleaner manner, making it faster.

When a change is made to a device group, the previous name is unsubscribed from. Before this update, when changing the device group name, it would still be subscribed to the previous device group name.

When a change is made to a device host name, the previous name is unsubscribed from. Before this update, when changing the host name in the support tool, it would still be subscribed to the previous device group name.

If the MQTT application is not running on the JNIOR, the application page will be grayed out until it is started again. This is to prevent people from believing they are connected to the broker without the MQTT application running, since you can't interact with the broker from the JNIOR without that application running.

Implemented the username and password on the MQTT application page so if it is required, it will not establish a connection until that information is entered. This allows a connection to brokers that require usernames and passwords.

Added MQTT functionality for the ten-volt module, 4-20 module, temperature probes, and environmental modules. You can now publish output percentages to the ten-volt and 4-20 modules, and subscribe to all of these listed modules.

Error Executing DMX Script from Client Connection When Using Version 3.4

Version 3.4 introduced a bug that prevented DMX client connections from working.

This was due to the AppData/Dmx/TerminationBytes registry key not processing the escaped string correctly.  \r\n should be processed as 2 bytes, one Carriage Return and one Linefeed.  Unfortunately the string was not un-escaped  and the termination string was processed as 4 bytes, ‘\’, ‘r’, ‘\’, ‘n’.

Here is a Wikipedia article on Escape Characters for those who are interested.

Resolution

Version 3.5 has been released to resolve this issue.

JNIOR Relays – Normally Open vs. Normally Closed

The JNIOR has Dry Contact Relays.  Dry contact relays must have power supplied from an external source.

The relays can be set for Normally open or Normally Closed operation.  They are normally open when manufactured.

Controlling the relay is the same regardless of the mode that they are in.  Switching the relay to Normally Closed basically causes the relay to be inverted.  When you command the relay to close it will open.  Sounds backward right?  By commanding the relay to close you are basically energizing the relay.  Energizing the relay puts it in the opposite state of its normal condition.  Normally Opened relays will Close and Normally Closed relays will Open.

There are internal jumpers that allow you to change the operation of some of the internal relays depending on the model.  On the Model 410 and Model 414, output channels 1 and 2 have jumpers to select the mode of operation.  The Model 412 and Model 412 DMX have outputs channels 1, 2, 9, and 10 that can be either Normally Open or Normally Closed.

To change the relay from Normally Open to Normally Closed you need to open the JNIOR and move the factory-supplied JNIOR from the outermost pins (as shown on the upper jumper) to the innermost pins (as shown on the lower jumper). 

Shows the jumper position for outputs 1 and 2 on a JNIOR 410

The Power 4 Relay Output Module has both the Normally Open and Normally Closed pins available on the connector.  There is no need to move a jumper.

Log Temperature

View on GitHub

This post goes over an application that checks the current devices connected to the JNIOR, and if any of them are temperature probes logs there device index and current temperature. 

Log Temperature starts off by declaring a string builder, which will be used later to log our information. We start with a while loop set to true so our program runs unless exited. We then perform a for loop that iterates 10 times. This checks the indexes of devices connected to the JNIOR from 1 – 10. Each time the loop iterates, it checking the JNIOR’s registry for connected temperature probes using the isTempPresent function. This returns the index of a temperature probe connected to the JNIOR. Once the index is returned its then used to get the temperature of that temperature probe, and then uses the string builder to construct a sentence listing time, index, and temperature from the temperature probe. This is then logged to a log file called tempLog.log. The while loop returns re-logging the values every minute.

JANOS 1.9 Release February 3, 2020

Release Notes

We have released JANOS v1.9 which has several changes and bug fixes. Most notably with TCP packet generation. While it is not wrong to send data in multiple TCP packets, many devices incorrectly implement TCP clients and fail when this case arises. This version adjusted the release of socket data to reduce the chances that a message might be split across separate TCP packets. This had been a recent issue with some MODBUS client devices.

  • Added support for Reverse LLMNR allowing network scanners to label IP addresses with hostnames
  • Adjusted the release of socket data to reduce the chances that a message might be split across separate TCP packets

The JMP Protocol has been exposed on its own TCP/IP port. This encloses the JSON messaging in a JSON array along with the JSON Object length making reception of the messages easy. The JMP Protocol will be used by the QSC Q-SYS JNIOR component.

  • Implements the JANOS Management Protocol JMP
  • Adds "Block" command to JSON interfaces
  • Web Server limits the effects of extremely slow connections.

Serial Input State Reporter

View on GitHub

This post goes over an application that goes through the Iolog, grabs IoEvents that occur every second, reports their Input States as a String out the AUX Port. 

It starts by declaring a class object that has functions we can use to report our input states. The program first calls a constructor function to open the serial port to report our inputs. After the AUX port opens, another function is called to return the IO events from the Iolog monitor. This function then calls another function to build a message containing the IO events as string values. Once again this function calls one last function, this one then sending off the string we built to the AUX port to report the IO events.

Tasker 3.0 April 20, 2020

It has been a while since Tasker was released. Tasker was a quick attempt at making a replacement for the Task Manager application that has been around for more than a decade, starting on the Series 3.

Ample time has now been taken to create a fully capable application that will be every bit as functional as Task Manager but offer the benefits of a rewrite, using configuration files and the latest web technology.

Some of the changes and new features are as follows:

  • Faster– The tasks are executed much faster and the triggers and schedule are monitored in real-time instead of once every 5 – 10 seconds.
  • Workspaces - Separate configuration logic into multiple workspaces. Then multiple workspaces can be loaded on the JNIOR at the same time.
  • Tasks are now separate from triggers. In Task Manager a Task was created and a Trigger was configured to get the Task to execute. In Tasker 3.0 Tasks are a separate entity that can be executed several different way including manual execution from the configuration page and being requested via an ASCII TCP connection.
  • Tasks can now send data via an Ethernet connection. To do this, a Device must be created so that the action can specify which device to send the data to. Multiple devices can be configured.
  • New Actions – We implemented actions that were previously available in Task Manager but are introducing many new actions like external module control, TCP communication and control structures.
  • Drag n Drop – Drag and Drop functionality makes it easier to design your Task logic.
  • Signals are now created to assign a specific property of a I/O point or sensor a name. The name can then be used in Tasks, Triggers or Loggers.
  • Loggers can be created to define the file name and schema or what data should be logged to that file. Each line in a Logger will be prepended with a timestamp followed by a comma. Loggers also allow you to define the number of files that should be kept with the given naming pattern. Name patterns can include date patterns. This will help you create a file per day for example.
  • Schedule – The schedule has additional options.
  • JSON Configuration files are used now instead of registry keys. Registry keys were limiting in size. The Series 3 could only store 255 characters in a registry key. It is much easier to upload configuration files to other JNIORs to replicate setups.
  • User Interface – The User Interface is now a native HTML application that uses the latest web technology. The latest web technology uses native HTML controls and Web-sockets to communicate with the JNIOR from your browser. This will allow accessibility over remote connections as long as port 80 is available. This is now consistent with the communication method used by the DCP. Task Manager had always used Java Applets. The Java Applets have not been able to launch in browsers for several years as they became frowned upon as security vulnerabilities.

This was just a short list of changes and new features. The documentation for Tasker should explain these topics as well as many others. If there is anything you don't understand please reach out to us for help. Additionally, if you have any suggestions or need the JNIOR to do something specific for you, please let us know.
