DANGER: Electrical Hazard
Before starting work on the unit, make sure that the unit and the control panel are isolated from the power supply and cannot be energized. This applies to the control circuit as well.

Installation

Hardware Installation

  • Unpack the contents of the box: DART device (bigger box), sensor box (smaller box), antenna, power adapter.
  • Mount the DART device on a wall or in a cabinet using appropriate fixtures.
  • Position the sensor box in the desired location for ambiance measurement, preferably closer to the drives.
  • Connect the power adapter to the appropriate port on the DART device.
  • Connect the drive(s) using an appropriate three-core screened cable. Ensure proper connections.
  • Connect either the EFB ports of the drive or an extended Modbus connector to the indicated ports of the DART device.
  • For multiple drives, connect them via a daisy chain configuration.
  • Connect the sensor box’s USB cable to the DART device.
  • Attach the antenna to the designated port on the DART device for wireless communication.
  • After turning on the DART Device and making sure the drive(s) are on, configure parameter 58.01 to Modbus RTU and 58.03 to the node of the drive. For example: node 1 for first drive connected after the DART, node 2 for second drive and so on.
  • A good drive to DART connection can be ensured by checking transmitted and received packets in parameter group 58.

Ensure all connections are secure and cables are properly routed.

Web interface Setup

Admin setup:

  • Log into https://admin-edc-app.azurewebsites.net/ with the unique login details provided to you.
  • This database will allow you to manage all your DART devices in one place.
  • Add a client in the client tab.
  • In the sites tab, select a client first and then add a site under the client.
  • Finally, Add a device under the specified site of a client.
  • Give your device any name, however, only add the device ID that has been provided to you.
  • If the DART is connected to multiple drives, again, assign any given name to the following drives but, only assign DeviceD_1 for first drive, DeviceID_2 for second drive, DeviceID_3 for third drive and so on.

Remote Monitoring

  • Ambience Readings: After setting up a new DART device, it is always a good practice to verify the ambience readings by comparing it to a controlled variable during commissioning.
  • Alerts and Notifications: When an alarm is triggered, the user will be notified via email which can be setup in the DEVICE INFORMATION tab. Multiple users can be added to this alarm recipients tab.
