System survey Principle Gateway types AKA 245 is a system component to be used in conjunction with controllers in the ADAP-KOOL® series of controls for refrigerating systems. When the gateway is used it is possible to build complex control systems with alarm moni toring and data logging into decentralised refrigerating plant.
Connections Supply voltage 230 V a.c. Max. fuse 10 A AKA 245 must always be provided with earth connection. This is to guarantee safety for persons and noise immunity. DANBUSS Data communication cable Terminals Screen In general, the data communication is connected from controller to controller, so that L is connected to L, and H is connected to H.
In order not to destroy the output on the PC, the modem or the server the following precautions must be taken: - Establish the correct earth connection on AKA 245 - Interrupt the supply voltage to the gateway and to the PC / the Modem / the server, when the cable is mounted and dismounted.

Use a standard modem cable. Supply voltage to the modem must be connected, as illustrated (via DO1). This will permit AKA 245 to reset the modem. Also, the modem will be switched on and its start controlled, when AKA 245 is switched on.
All controller alarms will now be transmitted to the master gateway. b) If you select “Auto setup” = “No setup” (the factory setting in AKA 245), the master gateway will not change the setting in the controllers. Chan ges can only be made on each individual AKC controller.

Alarms from EKC controllers will also be registered by AKA 245, but if the data connection between the EKC controllers and the gateway is interrupted, only an active alarm, if any, will be present when the connection is reestablished. In other words, all alarms occurring during the period without data com- munication will not be registered.

Alarm list in AKA 245 The alarm list can be displayed from system software type AKM or from control panel type AKA 21. From AKM: via the “History" - "AKA Alarm List” menu. From AKA 21, as follows: - select the master gateway (address = 125) - push key “F1”...
It is recommended that only one of the two options be used on the same system. (When AKA 245 is delivered ex stock, the alarm table is not active). Appendix B contains a description of repeat routines for alarm transmissions when calls are not successful.
Alarm printout from PC A printer connected to AKA 245 can print an alarm report from a PC connected to DANBUSS. To use this function, a datagram of a special format has to be transmitted to the gateway. This means that it is in practice the application software in the PC and the internal software in the gateway that use this facility.
AKA 245 can act as connecting link between DANBUSS and a modem. (DANFOSS can provide information about other modem types that can be used with the gateway) By connecting the supply to the modem via a relay switch (DO 1) on the gateway, the gateway will be able to reset the modem.
AKA override function AKA 245 contains a function capable of reading values from a given function in a given controller on Data communication. The gateway will treat the information and then set the values in other selected controllers in the system. Each individual controller will subsequently carry out the given function. You can max.
Operation Principle On AKA 245 there are no buttons. The unit is ex clusively operated via control panel type AKA 21 or system software type AKM. Operation from AKA 21 takes place via a menu system coded into the gateway.
- receive alarms on the PC - connect a printer to the PC where printouts will be made of all alarms AKA 245 are protected against inadvertent settings and changes of parameters from AKA 21. This is Access limitation done by means of access limi tation dis tributed on three levels: 1) Normal “Daily user level”...
Reading of whether password is used, and deletion of the use of it, if applicable. System adderess: (and GW type at AKA 245) Setting of the gateways actual DANBUSS system address. An AKA 245 nust be defi ned for either PC gateway, modem gateway or TCP/IP gateway. Communication setup Router: Setup of router tables.
Access to the gateway takes place with control panel AKA 21 in the same way as for other controllers display and access code on DANBUSS. Shown in the AKA 21 display are the units that are connected to DANBUSS. The AKA 245 gate way is symbolised with a “G”. <...
(The factory-set address in a gateway 125. The address no. 124 is not polled on DANBUSS. The valid address for a AKA 245 will there for be 1 to 123 (not within the LON address range, however) or 125. "Change GW-Type"...
It is important that all units on the same network have the same network number. Example: The example shows a system consisting of two networks. 1) PC connected to AKA 245 2) AKA 245 and AKC controller 1:1 means network number 1 with address 1.

An address is indicated for the next receiver of the datagram. This may either be the fi nal receiver for whom the datagram was intended, or it may be the address of another AKA 245, say, a modem gateway that has to re-transmit the datagram. If “Port No. ” = 2 (RS 232): At connection to a PC no address has to be entered, as only one PC can be connected.
Page 35
AKA 245 The PC wants to send a message to the AKC with system address 2:1. The datagram is fi rst sent to AKA 245 who checks its router table to see where the datagram has to be routed. As the controller is on the same network as the master gateway, it will transmit directly to the control- ler (a router line will not be required).
Appendix B Repeat routines for alarm handling Depending on who has been selected to receive alarms, AKA 245 will have the following repeat routines if it cannot get in touch with the receivers: Setting of “AKA send alarm to”: “System address NNN:AAA”...
Appendix C Data collection takes up this much room When a log is established in an AKA 245 master gateway, room is set aside for data. Just how much room is reserved is determined by various parameters. The amount of room that will be reserved can be seen when new logs are established.
245 gateway. Only one unit in a network can be designated as master. If there are no AKA 245 units in the network, AKA 21 will automatically be the master. Datagram This is a packet with a message transmitted via DANBUSS.
