This guide is for tracking utilization + automated cycle counts.
All device connections are outbound, but devices both send and receive data on each connection. Make sure that the following domains and ports are whitelisted in your firewall.
(You must whitelist using the domain, not the resolved IP address.)
Once you receive your gateways and make the necessary network updates, you will have to configure them to connect to your local network. This process uses Bluetooth Low-Energy (BLE) for setup.
Place the aggregator inside the machine’s power panel (or outside panel if using an external sensor).
Check for a solid blue LED light in the lower left corner of the digital aggregator.
This indicates power and successful gateway connection.
How are you measuring utilization?
Clip the sensor over a wire carrying AC power to the motor performing the primary process of the machine (e.g. spindle motor power supply output).
If there are multiple wires for the 3 AC phases providing power to the same motor, pick any wire. The wire must contain only a single phase of power and not have a ground inside.
Plug the sensor cable into the digital's aggregator’s first available analog input port.
If you have multiple sensors, start at port 1 and plug the rest into ports 2 and then 3.
First you must identify which signal you will be working with. Then, you’ll locate that signal in your machine’s power panel and identify the nearest power outputs.
It’s critical to choose a signal that changes back and forth exactly once per cycle.
Once you submit your machine configuration info, our team will begin tuning your machines and setting up your dashboard. This typically takes 1 week for pilots and 14-21 days for larger full deployments.
