BEEKs CM v2 beacons utilize various BLE packet types to send different types of data. The "sBeacon" packet is used to transmit basic information like temperature and battery voltage. sBeacon data is also used to assess beacon connectivity to the cloud (Bluzone Cloud expects to see this data regularly). The "Data Fountain" packet is used to transmit vibration data (acceleration and velocity, peak-to-peak and RMS). Data Fountain packets are higher payload than sBeacon packets. Data Fountain packets are also transmitted less frequently (by default) than sBeacon packets. Lastly, Data Fountain packets are broadcast with lower transmission (Tx) strength than sBeacon packets. The The table summarizes this:
| Packet Name | Data Contained | Use by Cloud | Relative Size | Relative Transmission FrequencyRelative Transmission Strength | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| sBeacon | battery voltage, temperature, etc. | data storage, assess connectivity | medium | once every couple of seconds | high |
| Data Fountain | vibration | data storage | large | once every couple of minutesmedium |
General Guidelines
Given the Bluvision system architecture, the following guidelines should be taken into consideration for Condition Monitoring deployments, given that the primary goal will be to visualize and analyze (on your own or through Bluzone policies) the vibration data contained in Data Fountain packets:
