2.03 Device Management
2.3 Device Management
Device management mainly includes device access, group management, viewing the data information and switch status collected by each device, alarm configuration status display, historical data query and basic interface control information.
Main functional module areas: "device source, toolbar, device search bar, share with others list, device watchlist, device list".
2.3.1 Mode switch
The mode switch button is in the upper right corner of the device management page. It is used to switch the display mode of the right area of the device management. There are "Dashboard Mode" and "Classic Mode". As shown in the figure below.
2.3.2 Multi-level device List
Multi-level device list module: displays all V-Boxes (collection gateways) or IoT HMIs under the account, and displays them in a multi-level grouped tree menu format.
After choosing the V-Box device, user will automatically jump to the device dashboard (dashboard mode) or device function module interface (classic mode),including eight modules: "Data Monitoring, Alarm Records, Historical Data, Cloud SCADA, Lua Script, and Basic Configuration."
Dashboard mode, as shown in the figure below.
Classic mode, as shown in the figure below.
After choosing IoT HMI device, user will automatically jump to the functional module interface, including six modules: "Remote Monitoring, Data Monitoring, Cloud SCADA, and basic information".
Dashboard mode, as shown in the figure below.
Classic mode, as shown in the figure below.
2.3.4 Tool bar
The following figure shows the button set for operating the V-Box/IoT HMI and device list, namely "Add device, Request to share, Filter, Group management, Refresh".
2.3.4.1 Add device
After registering a new account, you can add devices to bind to the account. One device can only be bound to one account.
When binding the V-Box/IoT HMI, you need to know the machine code and password of the V-Box/IoT HMI, enter the V-Box/IoT HMI device alias and select the group of the added V-Box/IoT HMI. If the administrator has created device groups, you can also choose to place the added devices under other groups, as shown in the figure below.
Supports adding multiple machine codes and product codes at one time. If the addition is successful, the corresponding device information will appear in the device list. If it fails, the specific failed device and the reason for the failure will be prompted.
2.3.4.2 Request to share
Request to share the V-Box/IoT HMI. After the other party agrees, the device requested to be shared will be displayed in the "Shared by Others" list in my account.
①Request to share: Click the request to share icon
and enter the V-Box/IoT HMI machine code or product code, as shown in the figure below.
②The system will send a request to share to the "other device account" and wait for the other party to [agree/reject], as shown in the figure below. (Other people's account)
③The other party agrees to share, the sharing is successful and can be viewed in the [Others' Sharing List], as shown in the following figure.
④Cancel sharing: [Basic Configuration] → [Sharing Details] → [Cancel Sharing] on the device, as shown below. (Other people's accounts)
2.3.4.3 Group management
Group management is a function for grouping the V-Box/IoT HMI. Administrators can manage the V-Box/IoT HMI groups, including adding groups, editing groups, and deleting groups, as shown in the figure below.
- When create a new group, the group can only be nested up to five levels.
- There is a default group for newly registered accounts.
- If a device group exists and cannot be deleted, a group with the same name can be created.
When adding a group, if you select the parent group, the new group will be created under this group. If it is not checked, it will be a first-level group, displayed on the outermost layer, as shown in the figure below.

(5) Transfer
If during the usage of the V-Box/ig device, the technician in charge of management changes, and it is necessary to transfer the IoT product to other personnel for management, the "Transfer" function can be used to transfer the device to another person for testing. During the transfer process of the V-Box/ig device, the configuration information of the device itself will not be affected, only the person in charge of management will be changed.
V-Box/ig IoT HMI Transfer: Transfer the V-Box/ig IoT HMI from one account to another. Except for the user changing, other information of the V-Box/ig IoT HMI will not change. When removing the V-Box/ig IoT HMI, enter the information of the transferring user and the password of the V-Box/ig IoT HMI. If the information is correct, the information of this account will appear, confirm the information of the other account is valid and then transfer.
①Locate the V-Box/IoT HMI in the device column. Right-click with the mouse → a drop-down box will pop up. Click the [Transfer] button as shown in the figure.
②Enter the "User information transferred and the password of the V-Box/IoT HMI", If the information is correct, the information of this account will appear, confirm the information of the other account is valid and then transfer. As shown in the following figure.

⑥Prompt that the device is successfully bound, indicating that the V-Box/IoT HMI has been successfully transferred.
(6) Replace
When the V-Box device has an abnormality and needs to be replaced, you can choose the "Replace" function. Replace the old device with the new one, and update the configuration information of the old device to the new one at the same time, without reconfiguring. Please note that the new and old devices must be of the same model to complete the replacement action.
Example: Under this account, a new V-Box (same model) will be used to replace the old one. There are two V-Boxes, V-Box A is bound to the account. When V-Box A breaks down, " V-Box B" needs to replace " V-Box A" (V-Box B must be unbound). The following are the detailed steps for replacing a V-Box.

The editor has functions such as syntax verification, keyword prompts, common code snippet prompts, variable prompts, code completion, etc. It also provides monitoring point management functions, which can directly insert addresses as variables in the code.
①Syntax Verification
When writing Lua code, you can check the syntax validity in real time. An icon
will appear next to the syntax error line. When you move the mouse over it, the error content will be prompted. When multiple lines are wrong, it will be displayed on the first line with the error. After resolving the error in the line, it will be displayed on the next error line.
Error example: [6:0] ‘do’ expected near ‘doo’, which means that ‘do’ is expected to be entered at the 0th character position of the 6th line. Syntax checking includes the following categories:
A: Check the spelling of keywords.
B: Check the definition of variables.
C: Check the usage specifications of operators.
D: Check the syntax of the function structure.
Note: The above syntax check does not include runtime error checking. Runtime error checking is to send the code to the V-Box and return the error information after the V-Box compiles it.
②Script Prompt
When writing code, it provides prompts such as fuzzy matching keywords, defined variables, code snippets, etc. Click the corresponding prompt line to complete the code, as shown in the figure below.
The provided hint codes and complete codes include the following categories:
A: Keywords, keywords of Lua language, built-in method names, built-in constants, and library functions.
B: Code snippets, commonly used code snippets of Lua
C: Defined variables (local), all defined variable names.
| Name | Sample Code | Function |
