13 Product Support and Maintenance13.1 File System and Archive ProcessThe DXM file system consists of two physical components: the serial EEPROM that stores non-volatile configurationinformation and a removable micro SD card that stores file backup data and user created files.EEPROM Files—The serial EEPROM stores basic data that is required to be non-volatile, including network configurationdata, IP address, MAC address, network masks, firewall settings, and authentication information. The controller XMLconfiguration file created by the DXM Configuration Software is stored in EEPROM. The small section of non-volatile localregisters is also stored in EEPROM.Micro SD Card Files—The micro SD card contains most files at the root level. The archive directory contains files kept bythe system for history backup. Archive files are stored in the directory _sxi and are only accessible by removing the SD card.• Data Log Files• HTTP Push Files• User created ScriptBasic file• ScriptBasic program file• CmVMon file• _sxi Archive directoryData Log filesUsers may create up to four data log files using the DXM Configuration Software. The log files are stored in the rootdirectory on the SD card. When the file size limit is reached, the filename is changed to include the date and timeand the file is moved into the archive directory _sxi. If a finished log file is to be e-mailed, it will be done at this timeand then moved into the archive directory. Archived log files are deleted based on the Clear Logs parameter.HTTP Push FileIf the DXM is configured to send data to a webserver or host system, the device creates an HTTP.LOG file on theSD card. The HTTP log is created only if the Logging Interval is non-zero and the HTTP enable log is set. An entry isplaced in the HTTP log file at the Logging Interval specified by the user. At the Push Interval time, the HTTP log fileis sent to the webserver or host system. If the transmission is successful, the HTTP log file is time stamped andplaced into the archive directory (_sxi). If the transmission fails, the file remains in the root directory and subsequentLogging Intervals are appended to the file and are sent at the next Push Interval. See Ethernet and Cellular PushRetries on page 61.User Created ScriptBasic FilesUsers may use ScriptBasic to create files on the SD card by using the FILEOUT function. The filenames are fixedand up to five files can be created in the root directory.ScriptBasic Program FileThe main ScriptBasic program that runs at boot time is stored on the SD card in the root directory.CmVMon FileThe CmVMon.txt file (Cellular milli-Volt Monitor) is created by the system and is used to track power events. Everypower-up cycle is date/time stamped with the voltage read from the I/O board. The value 24487 is equal to 24.487volts. If the voltage drops below 11.2 V, another entry is put in the log file indicating the cellular modem will shutdown.CM 2015-09-22 18:52:43 VMon Power entered normal range 24487CM 2015-10-13 20:49:47 VMon Power entered normal range 24004CM 2015-10-16 15:00:20 VMon Power entered normal range 24014CM 2015-10-19 19:12:26 VMon Power entered normal range 12845_sxi Archive DirectoryOnly two types of files are moved into the archive directory: data log files and HTTP log files. Data log files are date/time stamped and placed into the archive directory when the size limit is reached. HTTP log files are date/timestamped then placed into the archive directory when they are successfully sent to the webserver or host system. Ifthe HTTP log files were not successfully sent after the retries have been exhausted, the files are placed into a rootdirectory called sav.13.2 DXM150 Documentation• DXM Wireless Controller Sell Sheet, p/n 194063Sure Cross® DXM150 and 1500-Bx Wireless Controllerswww.bannerengineering.com - Tel: + 1 888 373 6767 89
