Check list for installation

This summary is intended for the experienced installer who has

already installed ADAP-KOOL

refrigeration controls on earlier

occasions.

(Appendix 3 may also be used).

1. All AKC controllers must be installed. An address must be set

for each controller.

2. The data communication cable must be connected to all the

controllers. The two controllers at either end of the data com-

munication cable must be terminated.

3. Connect the RS232 cable between the PC and the PC gateway

(switch oﬀ the units, if they are on).

4. Determine which unit is to be the master (system address =

xxx:125).

(Normally the PC gateway, but if there is also a modem

gateway, it ought to be the latter).

5. Set the system address in the gateway (Network and Address )

6. Set router lines in the gateway.

7. Install the programme on the PC.

Among other things:

Set the system address in the programme (yyy:zzz) e.g 51:124

Set communikation port (COM 1 → 9)

8. Deﬁ ne a printer, if applicable.

9. Import any description ﬁ les for AKC controllers.

10. Upload data from the network

- ”Net conﬁ guration” from the master gateway

- ”AKC description” from the controllers.

11. Proceed with the arrangement as to how the system should

be shown in the programme (next document)

AKM

AKM is the programme with many functions. The programme

gives you an overview of all functions in all connected refriger-

ating systems. The programme is used by service centres or in

systems where more functions are required than can be obtained

with AK Monitor.

AK Monitor

AK Monitor is the programme with a few easy-to-use functions.

The programme gives you an overview of temperatures and

alarms in the local refrigerating plant.

A service centre is depicted here which shows the possibilities of-

fered for connections to other systems.

- The most common one used is where AKM receives alarms from

other networks. This connection is shown on the Com 1 port.

- If it is only a question of service, connection can take place as

shown on the Com 2 port.

- If data are received from a plant containing monitoring unit type

m2, it must be done with a separate modem as shown on the

Com 3 port.

- Alarms can also be retransmitted from a mobile telephone which

is connected the Com 4 port.

- If AKM is to transmit data via an Ethernet it must be done by

means of a server. The fundamental connection is shown on the

Com 5 port/net card and described in more detail in Appendix 1.

- In AKM5 the programme has been extended so that it can enter

into direct communication with even more networks.

The connection shown on Com 1, 2 and 5 can be extended with

up to eight connections of the same type. In other words, up to

21 more connections than shown in the drawing. Each extension

will require its own Com port.

An example is shown here from a food store. A number of control-

lers regulate the individual refrigeration points. The modem

gateway collects data from each of the refrigeration points and

transfers these data to the PC with the AK Monitor or to a service

centre via the modem connection.

Alarms are transmitted to the PC during the shop’s opening hours

and to the service centre outside of opening hours.

Prior to installation

Requirements to the PC

- One 80586 / pentium, 300 MHz with at least 64 MB RAM (128

MB, if XP or Windows 2000).

The PC type must be contained in Microsoft’s positive list for

Windows.

If the PC is hooked up to three or more connections (channels),

a faster PC with a processor of at least 1 GHz will be required.

- Graphic display unit, VGA or higher resolution.

- Serial port for connection of gateway. A hardware handshake

is required between the PC and the gateway. A 3 m long cable

between the PC and the gateway may be ordered from Danfoss.

If a longer cable is required (but max. 15 m), this can be made

based on the diagrams shown in the gateway manual.

- There must be more serial ports in the PC if more connec-

tions are required. See illustration on page 3. Various modem

connections are illustrated here. It is a requirement that a

separate modem be used if there is contact to a plant with

monitoring unit type m2. If a GSM modem (telephone) is

connected directly to the PC’s Com.port, the modem must

be a Siemens type TC35. This modem has been tested for its

application and found to be OK.

Have your PC dealer install the additional ports - it is not quite

simple.

- Parallel port for connection of printer.

- A plug is supplied with the programme. This plug must be

placed in the PC’s printer port before the programme can be

used. If a printer also has to be connected to this port, the

printer cable is simply connected to the plug (the supplied plug

is inserted as an extension of the printer cable). The plug will

not interfere with the normal printer signal.

- Mouse or the like.

- When there is direct modem connection and communication

speeds in excess of 19200 baud, a 16 bit UART (16550) will be

required.

Requirements to software

- MS Windows 95/98/2000 or XP must be installed.

- The programme will require a free disk capacity of at least 50

MB to allow it to be installed, (i.e. 50 MB free capacity when

WINDOWS has been started).

- No memory resident DOS programmes must be installed.

- Write-caching must not be used. There will be loss of data, if

the PC is switched oﬀ at the wrong time (read the WINDOWS

manual, if need be).

Change of software version

Before installation is commenced, a backup should be made of

the existing version.

If the installation of the new version does not work out as

planned, the earlier version can be reinstalled.

Files with system data must be placed in the library: (drive):\

AKM\ DATAB. These ﬁ les are not changed when a programme is

exchan ged.

The plug placed in the PC’s printer port must be left in. The AKM

programme will read a code in the plug and then “open up” for

the required ﬁ les.

The gateway

There are diﬀ erent types of gateways. They can all be used as

connecting point for the PC, but sometimes it is enough to use the

somewhat smaller gateway type AKA 241.

Diﬀ erent ways of making connections are illustrated in Appendix

3. Use the way that is best suited for your plant.

If your plant also contains controllers of the type EKC you must

use a gateway type AKA 243. AKA 243 and AKA 244 are identical

as regards functions, but the connections are not the same. It is

only to AKA 243 that EKC controllers can be connected (60 EKC

controllers and 60 AKC controllers).

Explanations regarding the individual installation points

Port

(AKM 4 and 5)

The following settings are found behind the “Port” key:

AKM4

AKM5

1 Select the “AKA/m2” line in the “Port conﬁ guration” ﬁ eld.

2 Set the number of the Com port connected to the PC gateway/

m2 (Com 1 should be selected, if possible).

In AKM5 you can enable the use of several channels. This is

accomplished via the setting to the extreme right in the picture.

3 Baud rate (communication speed) to be set at 9600 (the factory

setting in the gateway is 9600 baud, and the PC and the gateway

must have the same setting value).

4 Modem (only if modem is used).

Select the “Modem” line in the “Port conﬁ guration” ﬁ eld.

- Set Com number

- Set baud rate

- Set lifetime (the time the telephone line remains open if there

is no communication on the line)

- With a modem there is also an initiate string. This can be seen

in the ﬁ eld at the bottom left. It may be necessary to make

changes in this string, if the communication process is not

satisfactory.

In AKM5 you can enable the use of several channels. This is

accomplished via the setting to the extreme right in the picture.

AKM/AKmonitor Installation guide RI.8B.P4.02 © Danfoss 03/2004 7

5 TCP/IP (only if Ethernet is used)

Skip this setting for the moment. It is better to carry out the

installation of the AKM programme, and then make this setting

later. Principle and setting are described in Appendix 1.

In AKM5 you can enable the use of several channels. This is

accomplished via the setting to the extreme right in the picture.

6 m2 Alams via modem (only if modem calls from one or more

monitoring units type m2 with SW = 2.x is used).

- Select line m2 in the “Port Conﬁ guration” ﬁ eld

- Set No

- Set baud rate

- Set lifetime

- Set Network address

- With the m2 communication there is an initiate string. It can be

seen in the ﬁ eld at the bottom left.

7 GSM sms (only if a GSM modem (telephone) is connected

directly to the PC’s Com.port).

- Select the line GSM-sms in the "Port Conﬁ guration" ﬁ eld

- Set Com nr.

- Set Baud rate

- Set PIN code

8 WinSock (only when Ethernet via the PC's net card is used)

- Select WinSock line in the "Port conﬁ guration" ﬁ eld

- Set "Active" in the No ﬁ eld

- Set Lifetime

(The remaining information on the IP adress is known by the

net card and becomes visible when the installation has been

concluded.)

(AK Monitor, MIMIC and AKM3)

1 Channel

Select AKA/m2 if a gateway is connected to the PC.

If Ethernet is used via the PC's net card you must wait with this

setting. The setting is described in Appendix 1.

2 If AKA/m2 has been selected in "Channel", you must also set the

number of the Com port connected to the PC gateway (Com 1

should be selected, if possible).

3 The baud rate (communication speed) is set at 9600 (the factory

setting in gateway is 9600 baud, and the PC as well as the

gateway must have the same set value).

Router Setup

(AKM 4 and 5)

The following settings are found behind the "Router Setup"

button:

Here you set router lines for all the destinations to which the AKM

programme is to send messages.

1 Set a network address or a net range

2 Set a Phone No or IP Address

3 Select Channel (Port) that is to transmit the message

(In AKM 5 there can be more than one channel for the same

function. The number of channels was set in the picture "Port

Setup".)

4 Select an initiation string in the "Initiate" ﬁ eld, if required (the

initiation string is shown/deﬁ ned in the "Port Setup" display)

5 Push "Add"

6 Repeat the above for all destinations

7 Finish with "OK".

Alarm

1 Decide if the PC is to give a signal (beep), when an alarm is

received.en alarm.

2 Select duration in seconds (beep time).

3 Select how many days an alarm should be shown on the alarm

list. Only accepted alarms will be deleted from the list when

the time is up. This time-limit also applies to the contents of the

event register “AKM Event Log”.

Printouts

1 Deﬁ ne whether printouts of alarms must be made by the printer

when the alarms are received.

2 Deﬁ ne whether a printout should be made when an alarm is

accepted.

3 Deﬁ ne whether a printout will be required when a setpoint is

changed for a controller (when the change takes place from the

programme).

4 Deﬁ ne whether the printer is to provide a printout when the

programme is started and at Logon and Logoﬀ .

5 Key in how many empty lines there are to be between the

printer’s individual printouts. (This will require that a “Generic

printer driver” is installed, cf. page 8. The function can however

not be used in connection with control systems Windows 2000

and XP).

Log

1 The “Use callback” must be used, if the log function in the

programme is to collect log data from an AKA 243/244 master

gateway via the telephone network. The programme calls

the system, and then immediately interrupts the telephone

connection. A call is now made by the system which consequ-

ently pays for the data transmission.

2 The “Form feed before auto prn” function is used, if the log

printout is to start on a new page when log data are printed

automatically.

(If an alarm has started between two log printouts, the alarm

message and the log printouts can be kept on separate pages).

Language

Select the language required for showing the various menu

displays. If you change to another language after the installation,

the new language will not appear until the programme is

restarted.

Start the AKM programme through the PC

Deﬁ ne whether the programme is to be started automatically

when the PC is switched on (booted, or when it starts up again

after a power failure).

Print..

A push will provide a printout of the set values in this display.

8 Installation guide RI.8B.P4.02 © Danfoss 03/2004 AKM/AKmonitor

Advanced...

Gives access to special functions that should only be set by

specially trained persons. In the display shown assistance can be

obtained by pushing the “?” key.

Uploading of logs

Normally transfer of logs takes place automatically when the

amount of data reaches a certain size. But if you prefer to

have transfers of logged data carried out at a speciﬁ ed time,

whatever the amount of them, you must set this function.

Set, for example, a weekday and time outside of normal

working hours when the telephone rates may be lower.

Any later changes in the “AKM Setup” menu can be made via:

“Conﬁ guration” - “AKM Setup...”.

The programme has now been installed on your PC.

AKM/AKmonitor Installation guide RI.8B.P4.02 © Danfoss 03/2004 9

First time the programme is started

Start-up

The PC must be restarted (booted) when the installation has been

completed.

The programme can now be started in one of the following two

ways:

- Automatic start-up (selected during the installation).

- Start-up from Windows:.

When the programme is started the ﬁ rst time, settings must be

made for the supplied screen saver.

- Deﬁ ne whether the screen saver is always to be activated when

the programme is started. Or whether it should only happen

when the programme is waiting for a “Logon”. The screen saver

can be cancelled by meas of the "AKM Setup - Advanced"

- Set the time that is to elapse before the screen saver is activated.

The following display will now appear:

Warning! Do not use the “ENTER” key until all the ﬁ elds have been

ﬁ lled in.

The display only appears once during the installation. After that, it

is not possible to make settings or changes.

Please ﬁ ll in all the ﬁ elds. The information may be required when

service has to be carried out at a later date.

In the example above it is indicated which information may be

provided at the given positions.

When the programme has been started, proceed by keying in

initials and keywords.

A user with the initials AKM1 and keyword AKM1 has now been

establis hed. Use it for the establishment of a new “superuser”

having access to all functions.

Delete the “AKM1” user when general access to the system is no

longer required.

Printer selection

If a matrix printer is to print the alarms, it would be a good idea to

install a special printer driver, so that the paper consumption will

be reduced. Do as follows:

Windows 95/98

(The function cannot be used in connection with control systems

Windows 2000 and XP).

Install the driver via "Start" - "Settings" - Printers"

Activate the “Add printer” icon and follow the instructions on the

display. When you have to select the printer, select “Generic / text

only”.

When the printer has been installed, the following settings must

be made before it will work correctly:

- The icon for the “Generic / text only” printer is activated by means

of “Start” - “Settings” - “Printers”.

- Push the right mouse key and select “Properties”.

- Select the “Device option” tab.

- In the “On screen” setting, select line “128”.

- Push tabulator key, so that the cursor is placed in the “On printer”

ﬁ eld.

- Keep the “Alt” key depressed while keying 012.

- When you subsequently release the “Alt” key, “^L” will appear in

the ﬁ eld.

- Terminate this setting with “Ok”.

- Now add two lines in the “Win.ini” ﬁ le.

Open the ﬁ le via one of the text programmes and add the

following two lines at the bottom of the document:

[Generic / text only]

PageBreak=No

-Save the “Win.ini” ﬁ le.

The installation has now been completed, and the printer driver

can be used by the AKM programme.

Useful hints

You may use the following information about printer drivers for

the printout of alarms, log curves and log tables, respectively:

1: Printer driver “Generic / Text only” must be left as “Standard

printer” when alarms have to be printed from the programme.

(On page 6 you set how many lines there are to be between

two printouts).

2: For the printout of log curves use a graphics printer. The printer’s

own printer driver can often be used. In a few cases, on matrix

printers, a better result may be obtained by using the “IBM

Graphics” printer driver.

10 Installation guide RI.8B.P4.02 © Danfoss 03/2004 AKM/AKmonitor

Router lines

General

Router lines have to be set before the programme will be able to

exchange data with other units. On page 6 and 7 router lines were

set, when the AKM programme was to transmit to other units.

But router lines must also be set in all gateways.

Principle

"How the programme and the gateway get to know each other"

Shown below is an example where the system consists of a

number of AKC controllers, one PC gateway type AKA 241 and one

modem gateway type AKA 244.

This system consists of two groups, each one of which is assigned

a network number:

The PC is assigned network number 240.

The AKC controllers and AKA 241 are assigned network number

241.

Each component within each network must now be given an

address:

The PC is assigned address number 124.

AKA 241 must have address number 125 as it is the master of this

network.

AKA 241 is assigned address number 120.

Each of the remaining controllers is given an address between 2

and 119.

When we mention a component’s location below, we use the term

“system address”, where the system address contains a network

number as well as an address number, i.e. system address =

network number : address number.

e.g. the system address for the PC is for example 240:124.

and the system address for the master gateway is 241:125.

Net 241

Net 240

241:120

240:124

241:125

(The master gateway will itself assign a network number to the

AKC controllers).

When the system addresses have been deﬁ ned, settings can be

made in the programme as well as in the two gateways.

Procedure

1 During the installation described on page 6 the system address

was set.

2 If TCP/IP servers are used they must be readied and set. This is

described in Appendix 1.

3 How to create contact to a gateway

It is a bit diﬃ cult here to describe a general setup of the plant

because there are various ways of putting the plant together.

The following section contains very general instructions, but

you can also obtain help in Appendix 2 where there are several

examples of systems with belonging router lines.

a. Setting of system address

Connect a control panel type AKA 21 to “network number

241”.

Both gateways have been asigned address number 125 by

the factor, but it may have been changed.

Now use the control panel for making settings in this gateway.

Cf. also the gateway manual which contains a list of menus.

(Put voltage to one gateway at a time, or you will be in

trouble).

For the mentioned example set:

AKA 241: AKA 244:

Network to 241 Network to 241

and and

Address to 120 Address to 125

b. AKA 244 has to be set, so that it functions as a modem gate-

way.

241:120

240:124

241:125

AKM/AKmonitor Installation guide RI.8B.P4.02 © Danfoss 03/2004 11

c. Setting of router lines

Lines have to be set in both gateways, each one of which

contains information as to which system addresses have been

assigned to which outputs.

For the mentioned example set:

Line 1 Line 1

Lower limit to 241 Lower limit to 241

Upper limit to 241 Upper limit to 241

Port no. to 1 Port no. to 1

and and

Address to 0 Address to 0

(Address must however

be set to 125, if AKA 243

is used instead of AKA 244).

Line 2 Line 2

Lower limit to 240 Lower limit to 240

Upper limit to 240 Upper limit to 240

and Port no. to 1

Port no. to 2 and

Address to 120

Line 3 Line 3

Lower limit to 1 Lower limit to 1

Upper limit to 239 Upper limit to 239

Port no. to 1 Port no. to 2

and and

Address to 125 Telephone Number

d. Terminate

Activate the "BOOT GATEWAY" display under the NCP

menu (via AKA 21). Wait one minute, and do not push the

buttons on AKA 21 during this minute. (The new settings

will now be active).

4. The programme now communicates with the network.

When you leave this section contact has been established be-

tween all units of the plant, and the AKM programme is now ready

to be told which controllers have been connected.

AKM5 with several channels

The router line is set up in the same way here.

But the two networks are directed to two diﬀ erent channels (Com

Port).

Net 240

Net 241

Net 2xx

Com 2

Com 1

12 Installation guide RI.8B.P4.02 © Danfoss 03/2004 AKM/AKmonitor

Principle

A controller is deﬁ ned with a code number and a software version.

This controller contains a number of data, e.g. with English text.

When the programme has just been installed, it does not know

the controllers that have been connected - but the master at

address 125 possesses this information. The information will

be transferred to the programme when the function “Upload

conﬁ guration” is used. The programme will ﬁ rst have a look at

a deﬁ ned network (the network number must be entered and

the network conﬁ guration selected). A network conﬁ guration

is always obtained from address 125 (the master gateway).

From here the programme loads infor mation about the controllers

(code number and software version) found in this network and

the addresses assigned to them. This setup is now stored in the

programme.

The programme must now pick up all the texts pertaining to the

measurement values and settings for each controller type. AKC

31M texts must be obtained from the CD-ROM accompanying the

programme, and other texts from other AKC controllers from the

data commuica tion. When this has been accomplished, you have

obtained one standard description ﬁ le for each controller type

and for the software version found in the network.

(“Upload conﬁ guration” is performed by selecting the ﬁ eld “AKC

description”).

Only now will the programme recognise all the possible settings

and readouts.

It may be helpful to add a name (ID) and a customer-adapted

choice of functions (Custom ﬁ le).

The “MCB” ﬁ eld is for your information only, and so is the “Master

Control” function.

This is how the programme will get to

know the individual controllers

Procedure

Now that the system is able to communicate, an upload may be

made (Upload conﬁ guration) of the individual controllers’ texts.

1. If an AKC 31M unit has been installed, a description ﬁ le must

be obtained from the supplied CD-ROM. Find this display via

“Conﬁ guration” - “Import description ﬁ le”.

Import one or more of the shown ﬁ les.

If other description ﬁ les are available from an earlier setup,

they must also be imported now.

2. Select the language version in the remaining connected AKC

and EKC controllers. Use AKA 21 for setting the language ver-

sion in the AKC controllers whenever possible.

3. Find this display via “Conﬁ guration” - “Upload”.

4. Enter network number under “Network”.

5. Select “Net conﬁ guration”.

6. Select “AKC description”.

7. Push “OK” (this function may last a couple of minutes).

If the master gateway has been installed in such a way that a

pass-word is required, the password will be asked for at this

point. Enter the password, before you continue.

AKM/AKmonitor Installation guide RI.8B.P4.02 © Danfoss 03/2004 13

Resume

- The programme is now installed.

- There is communication with the gateway (with the address

xxx:125) which in turn communi cates with the individual con-

trollers.

- The controller texts and parameters are known by the pro-

gramme, so that the programme knows the settings and read-

outs that can be made.

- The next step is to deﬁ ne how these settings and readouts are to

be presented.

- Proceed with the “Setup instructions” document, or if you are an

experienced user, with the individual points found in the AKM

Manuel.

8. Store the loaded conﬁ guration. Push “Yes”.

All the texts from the various controller types will now be

loaded, and it will take several minutes for each type to be

loaded. In the “Information” ﬁ eld you can see the types that are

being obtained.

Later, when the programme has ﬁ nished obtaining texts from the

various controllers, all the texts will be known by the programme,

and you may now proceed with a setup of the required

measurements.

Introduction

Principle

Supermarket chains in some cases etablish their own data com-

munication network VPN (Virtual Private Network) where they

transmit their information.

If ADAP-KOOL

refrigeration controls are used in this chain it would

be desirable that ADAP-KOOL

also use this network when infor-

mation has to be transmitted from the shops to a common service

centre.

Comparison: the function and the setup are in principle the same

as when it is a modem that has to transmit the information. In this

case the modem has been replaced by a server, and the telephone

network by a closed data network.

As shown, access to LAN can also take place via the PC's net card

and the WinSock interface in Windows. (A setup of this function in

AKM is described in the section "Installation of the programme on

the PC". A setup in AK Monitor is described in section 4).

This appendix describes how the setup of the server must be

made. The server is either a Digi One or Lantronix MSS. Other

server types cannot be used at the moment.

Before the server can be used, an IP address must be set and a

setup ﬁ le installed in it.

• Take care to set the correct address. It may be diﬃ cult to correct it

at a later date.

• All servers must be made ready before further setup can be

performed.

• Procure IP addresses from the district’s IT department.

Setting of addresses

1. Connect the server to the PC with the speciﬁ ed cable

2. Connect supply voltage to the server

3. Switch on the PC

4. Start the AKM programme

5. Open the “Conﬁ guration/AKM Setup/Port Setup” menu

6. Select line TCP/IP

7. Select COM port to be used

8. Keep baud rate at 9600

9. a. Set IP address

b. Set IP-GW address

c. Set Subnet Mask

10. Check the addresses - particularly the IP address / write it down

/ glue it to the server! / DO IT NOW!!

11. Push OK - the set addresses will now be sent to the server

Conﬁ guration of server (Lantronix MSS only. DigiOne is set from

factory).

Conﬁ guration can only take place when the MSS server has had its

IP address set, as described above.

1. Reopen the earlier “Conﬁ guration/AKM Setup/Port Setup” menu

2. Select ﬁ le “MSS_.CFG”

3. Push “Download” (information can be followed in the MSS-COM

window)

4. Finish with OK

The MSS server is now ready and can be dismounted from the PC if

it is to be used in conjunction with an AKA 243 or AKA 244.

1. Setup of TCP/IP Device Server

Baud rate:

Keep the setting at 9600 baud until the whole system is in place and com-

municates as expected. The setting may subsequently be changed to, say,

38400 baud.

Requirements

- Digi One or Lantronix MSS_

- AKA 243/AKA 244 must be

version 5.3 or newer

- AKM must be version 5.3 or

newer

- AKM can max. handle 250

networks

3. Set port on AKA 243 / 244

4. Set router lines

Gateway

The supply voltage to the server to be connected, as illustrated

(via DO1 on AKA 243/AKA 244).

AKA 243/AKA 244 can then reset the server. The server will also be

switched on and the start-up controlled when AKA 243/AKA 244 is

switched on.

Data communication between AKA 243/AKA 244 and the server to

be made with the speciﬁ ed cable.

Connection to a PC to be made as described in section 1 above.

RS232 port

Baud rate

Keep the setting at 9600 until the whole communication functions

correctly. It may subsequently be raised to 38400.

Addresses

Set the addresses that have been set in the connected TCP/IP

server (IP address, IP-GW address and Subnet Mask).

Keep the remaining settings unchanged, but check one character

in ”Initiate string”. At Digi One it should read ”..Q3…”.

At MSS it should read ”…Q0….”.

DANBUSS port

See AKM Manual.

AKA 243 / AKA 244

Select the AKA setup in AKM.

Router lines must be set as indicated in the AKM Manual. When

there is a network at another server, the server’s IP address must

be set. (Like for modem. Just set an IP address instead of a tel-

ephone number).

AKM

Select the AKM setup in AKM.

Router lines to be set as mentioned earlier.

Remember to select TCP/IP in "Channel" and type in "Initiate", if a

server is connected to the Com port.

ALTERNATIVELY, select WinSock in "Channel" and nothing in "Initi-

ate", if connection takes place via the net card.

5. Speed

Later, when the communication functions satisfactorily, you may

raise the speed of all relevant TCP/IP servers to, say, 38400 baud.

Things to be considered during installation

An unintentional action may produce the result that the data com-

munication fails.

The AKM programme constantly checks that there is contact to the

server connected to the PC.

By using the AKM programme’s Scan function it can likewise be

checked whether the connection to the plant’s gateway is intact.

Scan for time, for example.

AK Monitor

If AK Monitor has a direct connection to LAN via the net card, this

must be deﬁ ned in AK Monitor. Select channels for WinSock.

Set IP addresses in the system's TCP/IP gateway.

Router lines

Principle

Router lines describe the “paths” information has to pass through. A message with information may be compared with a letter where

the recipient’s name is written on the envelope and the sender’s name inside the envelope together with the information.

When such a “letter” appears in the system,

there is only one thing to do - check its destination.

And there are only three possibilities:

- Either it is destined for the holder himself

- or it has to be rerouted through one port

- or it has to be rerouted through the other port.

This is how the “letter” moves on from one intermediate station to another, until it ﬁ nally ends up with the receiver. The receiver

will now do two things, namely acknowledge receipt of the “letter” and act on the information contained in the “letter”. The

acknowledgement is then another new “letter” appearing in the system.

To ensure that the letters are sent in the right directions, it is necessary to deﬁ ne all the directions used in all intermediate stations.

Remember, there will also be acknowledgements.

Receivers

All receivers (and transmitters) are deﬁ ned with a unique system address made up of two numbers, e.g. 005:071 or 005:125. The

ﬁ rst number may be compared with a street address in the normal postal system, and the second number will then be the house

number. (The two examples shown are two houses on the same street).

In this system all the controllers also have a unique system address.

The ﬁ rst number indicates a network, and the other a controller.

There may be up to 255 networks, and there may be as many as

125 controllers on each network (number 124 must however not be

used).

Number 125 is special. This is the number with which you deﬁ ne a

master on the network (this master contains important settings with

respect to alarm handling, among other things).

When there are several networks, the connection between the

various networks will always be a gateway.

In the same network there may often be several gateways, e.g. a

modem gateway and a PC gateway.

It is in all these gateways the various router lines have to be deﬁ ned.

How?

Ask yourself three questions and answer them!

- Which network?

- Which direction?

- For which address (a telephone number if it is for a modem), (an 0, if it is for your own network*), (nothing, if it is for a PC).

Examples

Net Direction For

Set a network number or a range with several

consecutively numbered networks

(It will not be possible for all the router lines shown

here to appear in the same gateway).

Appendix 2

*) If the master gateway is an AKA 243, the LON part will be regarded as an individual network seen from the master gateway itself. But seen from a slave

on the same network, it must be addressed to No. 125.
