Options AK Monitor / AK-Mimic AKM4 / AKM5 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. The AK-Mimic has a graphic user interface. AKM is the programme with many functions. The programme gives you an overview of all functions in all connected refrigerating systems. The programme is used by service centres or in systems where more functions are required than can be obtained with AK Monitor.
1. Prior to installation AKA 245 / AKA 241 There are different 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. Different ways of making connections are illustrated in Appendix 3. Use the way that is best suited for your plant.
2. Installation of the programme on the PC Procedure 1) Start Windows 2) Insert the CD-ROM in the drive. 3) Use the function "Run" (select AKMSETUP.EXE) 4) Follow the instructions on the screen (the following section contains additional information about the individual menu points). Setup display Setup display for AKM 4 and AKM 5 Setup display for AK-Monitor and AK-Mimic The settings are explained on the following pages: All settings only become active following restart.

Button for Port Setup The following settings are found behind the “Port” button: AKM 5 (With the AKM 4, there is no choice of available channels on the right hand side. The AKM 4 has only one channel of each type.) AK monitor and MIMIC Receivers Telephone number or IP address List of possible channels: AKM 4, AKM 5 AK-Monitor, AK-Mimic AKA/m2 AKA/m2 • m2/Alarm (only if modem calls from one or more monitoring units type m2 with SW = 2.x is used).
Printouts 1 Define whether printouts of alarms must be made by the printer when the alarms are received. 2 Define whether a printout should be made when an alarm is accepted. 3 Define whether a printout will be required when a setpoint is changed for a controller (when the change takes place from the programme). 4 Define whether the printer is to provide a printout when the programme is started and at Logon and Logoff.
3. First time the programme is started Setting After installation 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 has been started, proceed by keying in initials and Password. When the programme is started, the following two dispalys appear: A user with the initials AKM1 and keyword AKM1 has now been established.
4. Connection to AK-SC 255, AK-SC 355, AK-CS, AK-SM 720 / 350 Introduction This section describes the functions that relate to the AKM and: • AK-SC 255 version 02_121 or newer. • AK-SC 355 version • AK-CS version 02_121 or newer. • AK-SM 720 and AK-SM 350 For further information on setups, see the relevant instruction manuals. This section describes the installation of the AK-SC 255. Other units can be installed in the same way, apart from one instance, which will be explained. Setting 1.
2. Press the "Service" key Information This is where the new AK-SC, AK-CS or AK-SM plants must be set up. This is also where users can modify existing plants. 3. Set the numbers for "Domain", "Subnet" and "Network" in the field: 4. Enter the IP address of the unit to which you wish to establish a connection 5. Select the port (channel) "SC.Winsock" 6. Select the "SC" field 7. Enter the Authorization code which is set in AK-SC 255 /355/CS 8. Enter the Account Number which is set in AK-SC 255/355/CS 9.
5. Connect to AKA - gateway Principle Shown below is an example where the system consists of one PC gateway type AKA 241 and one modem gateway type AKA 245. Each component within each network must now be given an address: The PC is assigned address number 124. AKA 245 must have address number 125 as it is the master of this network. AKA 241 is assigned address number 120. This gives the following system address = network number : address number. e.g. the system address for the PC is for example 240:124.
4. Select the "AKA" / "Setup" menu from the AKM program.
6. Upload controller data Principle A controller is defined 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 different front-end possesses this information. The information will be transferred to the programme when the function “Upload configuration” is used. The programme will first have a look at a defined network (DSNnumber).
2. Select the description version in the remaining connected controllers. Use AKA 21 for setting the language version in the AKC controllers whenever possible. 3. Find this display via “Configuration” - “Upload”. 4. Click the "AKA" radio key 5. Enter network number under “Network”. 6. Select “Net configuration”. 7. Select "AKC description" 8. Push “OK” (this function may last a couple of minutes).
Appendix 1 - Routing via Ethernet (for AKA only) Principle Supermarket chains in some cases etablish their own data communication 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 information has to be transmitted from the shops to a common service centre.
Appendix 1 - continued 2. Connection Gateway The supply voltage to the converter to be connected, as illustrated (via DO1 on AKA 245). AKA 245 can then reset the server. The converter will also be switched on and the start-up controlled when AKA 245 is switched on. Digi One SP Data communication between AKA 245 and the converter to be made with the specified cable. PC Connection to a PC to be made as described in section 1 above. 3.
Appendix 1 - continued AK Monitor /MIMIC If AK Monitor / MIMIC has a direct connection to LAN via the net card, this must be defined in AK Monitor / MIMIC. Select channels for WinSock. Set IP addresses in the system's TCP/IP gateway. 5. Speed Later, when the communication functions satisfactorily, you may raise the speed of all relevant TCP/IP servers to, say, 38400 baud.
Appendix 2 - 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.
Appendix 2 - continued Example The addresses in this example are the same as those used in Appendix 3. Central PC (head office/refrigeration company) Service PC with modem Telephone no.
Appendix 3 - Application examples (for AKA only) Introduction This section will offer you guidance in various application examples where you have to carry out installation work and service on a system incorporating ADAP-KOOL® refrigeration controls. The various application examples are based on a setup where certain requirements are mentioned that have to be met before you start the procedure described below.
Appendix 3 - continued Preparation of system for data communication Situation 1 Objective • All units of the data communication link must be started, so that the system will be ready for programming.
Appendix 3 - continued Preparation of a central PC Situation 2 Objective • To prepare a PC as main station, so that it will be ready to obtain data and receive alarms from an external system. PC with AKM (240:124) Conditions • New installation • The different units must be connected to a voltage supply unit • The PC must be mounted and Windows 7or XP must be installed PC-gateway (241:120) Procedure 1. Switch off all units, if they are on. Modem-gateway (241:125) 2.
Appendix 3 - continued d) Repeat points a, b and c, so that the AKM Programme will also prepare the modem gateway (241:125). 8. Now obtain information from the two gateways, so that it will be known by the AKM Programme: a) Select “Upload” b) Enter network number (241) c) Select the “Net configuration” field and push “OK”. Continue with this function, so that the network configuration will be saved. 9. Set the clock in the master gateway (_:125), so that any alarms will be correctly time-stamped.
Appendix 3 - continued First communication to a plant from a central PC Situation 3 Objective Via the central PC - to know the plant structure - to give the plant some customer-adapted names - to define a plant overview - to define logs - to define the alarm system 240:124 241:120 Conditions • New installation • The plant has been prepared, as explained in “Example 1” • The central PC has been prepared, as explained in “Example 2”. (Also the last point concerning new router lines). Procedure 1.
Appendix 3 - continued 4. If log setups have to be defined, it may be done in the following way: The collection of logs must take place in the plant’s master gateway and there must be automatic transfer of data from the master gateway to the central PC. a) Establish the required logs and select the type called “AKA log”. Read the AKM Manual.
Appendix 3 - continued Initial settings of AKC controllers in a plant from a central PC Situation 4 Objective To make all the different settings in all AKC controllers via the AKM Programme. Conditions • New installation of controllers • A system setup, as explained in "Example 3". Procedure You may choose between two ways of setting the functions in the controllers: 1. The direct way - where contact is established to the plant, after which settings are made line for line (long telephone time). 2.
Appendix 3 - continued Change of setting in a controller from a PC Situation 5 Objective To make a setting in a plant via the AKM programme. E.g.: • Change of a temperature • Change of a manual defrost • Start/stop of refrigeration in an appliance Condition • The system must be operating. Procedure 1. Activate the “AKA" - "Controllers..” function. 2. Select the relevant network and the required controller. 3. Find the document “Menu operation via AKM”.
