Data collected by the tiltmeters are
China Railway uploaded

tunnel project LoRaWAN gateway, which is
connected through cable to a local

server, where an IoT platform
where
h 200 sets (network server and application
were installed server) has been installed. The
server is connected to the intranet
off Chi
China R il
Railway, so tunnel

operators in the office can log on to
the platform and get access to real-
time data collected byy the
tiltmeters.

tiltmeters (MQTT clients)

...... telecoms operator
...... Internet
…… Mosqu
uitto (MQTT broker)
...... MQTT.fx (MQTT client)
...... user interface

The MQTT.fx client can subscribe to data (tilt, voltage and temperature) that is uploaded from the tiltmeters to the broker in
a certain time interval, and can publish config commands such h as

◆ set broker IP address

◆ set heartbeat interval
◆ set alarm angle
◆ set relative zero point
◆ enable alarming
◆ disable alarming

to the broker and then the commands are downloaded to the tiltmeters.
