Wavenis plug-in
Advanced library for Waveport
communications and third-party
Wavenis integrations
1
History
 It was created by a developer with usage by other developers in mind.
 The library was created in 2005 from scratch by the person who
developed the legacy libraries used by integrators. The knowledge of
advantages and disadvantages of the previous libraries ensured a more
efficient and easier to use library.
 Like the old libraries, the plug-in features classes for communications with
Waveflows, Wavetherms, Wavelogs, Wavesenses, Wavehub,…

Optimized communication kernel
 The library’s core reads data coming from the Waveport as it comes, with
minimal processor usage: only one thread per Waveport, dedicated to
receiving.
 Minimal memory allocation: memory slots are retained throughout the life
of the instance, to save processor.
 The serial communication layer was developed exclusively for use with a
Waveport.
 Automatic filtering of incoming data (response to a request, or
spontaneous alarms).
 The object model allows easy request serialization, and thus remoting.
 Events can be handled to intercept data from the normal flow.

Waveport communications
•
Serial communications:
– RS232
– USB
•
TCP:
– IP Waveport: the library connects to the Waveport over
an IP network.
– GPRS Waveport: the library listens to incoming
connections originating from Waveports.

Remoting:
– The library can emulate a GPRS Waveport or and IP
Waveport to grant a remote application control over the
physical Waveport.

One basic request object

All requests are executed using a
WavecardRequest class
A minimal amount of information is
needed for the instance to launch its
request, since most often used settings are
defaulted automatically for the request:

Open to add-ons
 The library provides interfaces, public methods and events to allow third
parties to add features:
 Events used to resolve Waveports with a network manager (in multi-Waveport
configuration)
 Events used to resolve relay routes with a network manager.
 Alarm and sensor interfaces to allow other integrators to use new Wavenisenabled products, without the need for a new library and a separate Waveport:
they simply need to implement device-specific treatment.
 The library is programmed using .NET, speeding up development time, and
time to market.

Field proven efficiency
 The library has been field proven on metering
gateways, and runs flawlessly.
 Built-in watchdog: you may physically disconnect and
reconnect your Waveport, the library will
automatically reattach itself.
 Even user code errors are handled: if an error is
generated while handling an alarm event, the instance
will survive, and not crash the whole application.
 No down time.
 The accelerated communication speed with the
