Installation and commissioning
3.1 Overview and prerequisites
Installation of an IMx-1 wireless system interfacing to SKF @ptitude Observer
software, must be ‘top-down’ that is:
•
Decide whether a cloud or local-server based system is required. Note: to
download the commissioning route the mobile app must be able to use a
mobile data or Wi-Fi connection to access the server.
•
Have a database populated with the gateway and sensor/measurement point
information.
•
With the interconnecting network structures in place and an NTP server
available.
•
Locally at the asset, the gateways must be present and powered.
Then at this point gateways can be commissioned, wireless sensors can be installed
and correctly associated with the appropriate machine measurement locations.
Finally, with all the hardware in place and commissioned the system must be
synchronised, a manual action from @ptitude Observer.
3.1.1 System commissioning and security
On-site system commissioning and troubleshooting uses the SKF Enlight Collect
Manager mobile app. This is an SKF app for Android devices that provides features
to manage and configure the system:
•
Configure the connection to an @ptitude Observer instance.
•
Log in and retrieve mesh/network configuration data from @ptitude Observer.
•
Scan for gateways or later, scan for sensors.
•
Commission a gateway.
•
Wake-up and commission a sensor or add as a relay node.
•
Retrieve and display device information, for example ID, firmware version.
•
Generate a commissioning report.
To access an Enlight Collect IMx-1 system, users must be pre-registered within
@ptitude Observer with appropriate rights/roles. The app system settings should
reflect the @ptitude Observer instance for the system being worked on. This is
important not only to be able to receive commissioning data for that system but for
the app to have the correct credentials for access to a commissioned gateway. For
