Setting Up This guide will walk you through the process of setting up your GO Facility Gateways and Sensors. For further assistance, please contact: CargoTechnicalServices@Emerson.com.
General Wireless Connectivity Information The GO Facility Sensors use a sub-1GHZ frequency to communicate with the Gateway(s). While this frequency often allows for longer range communication and ability to reach difficult areas, there are several factors that can improve or deteriorate signal quality. To ensure a reliable connection to your gateway(s) it is recommended to use a maximum distance of 300ft (91m) line of sight or 100ft (30m) obstructed.
Sensor overview: The activate button has two main functions: 1. Initial activation: Press (firmly) and hold for 2 seconds to activate. The status LED light will flash to indicate successful activation 2. Post activation – Status check: Press (firmly) and hold for 2 seconds for status check. • If status LED light flashes green, the sensor is activated. • If status LED light flashes orange, the sensor has recently uploaded data to a gateway 3.
Understanding the GO Facility Gateway Inventory list: • Gateway • 2x cellular paddle antennas • 1x RF antenna • 100-240VAC Power supply • Extension power cable Installation hardware: • Cable ties • Cable tie mounts • Mounting screws • Cable Clamps Installation hardware: 1. Attach the 2 cellular paddle antennas and the single RF reader antenna (as applicable) 2. Temporarily mount / place on wall 6-7 ft. up using cable ties and cable tie mounts (or other preferable method.
Cellular connectivity: 1. Angle cellular antennas away from the wall ~20-40° 2. After power is switched on, verify the LED are lit correctly. a. Left LED is a solid GREEN indicating system is operational b. Middle LED is solid GREEN indicates connection to a cellular carrier c. Right LED is solid GREEN or AMBER indicates cellular connection strength. 3. If LED lights come on and do not turn green for a period of time, connect technical support for further help.
Gateway and Sensor Placement Within a Facility IMPORTANT: Prior to permanently affixing your temperature sensor(s) make sure connectivity between gateway and sensor is established. This can be done by placing the sensor temporarily in the location and ensure that it has a connection with the gateway using the portal: https://GOFacility.Climate.Emerson.com It is recommended that all sensors and gateways are added to your user portal (https://GOFacility. Climate.Emerson.
• It is recommended that sensors are placed within the ranges specified in the general connectivity section. Depending on building materials and other possible obstructions, sensors and gateways may have to be moved closer to each other. See example floor plan for illustration using a 60ft obstructed view. • Avoid installing sensors directly on metal racks • Avoid placing large objects in front of gateways and sensors. Especially objects containing large percentages of water or metal i.e.
User Portal To log in to your portal, visit https://emerson. gofacility.com and use your credentials. Our technical services team will create your first login credentials. Contact CargoTechnicalServices@ emerson.com for assistance should you need it. Creating a Profile Before you can add gateways and sensors to your portal, you must first create your company structure and hierarchy. For assistance, please contact CargoTechnicalServices@emerson.
Once you have selected “My Profile,” you’ll have access to a range of options from modifying your own profile to creating alert schedules for your locations. To proceed with creating your company hierarchy, select the “Hierarchy” button. Once you have selected the Hierarchy button, you may “edit” the corporate name to match your organizations name. To do this select the “Edit” icon next to the “Corporate” name.
In the example below, we have added “Boise QA Test Site” as our sub-group. Next it is time to add a location. To do this, simply select “Add Location” to proceed. Once “Add Location” is selected, you may now enter all the relevant information. Ensure all fields are added. Note: External Location Id is an optional field. Once you have created the location of choice, a list of options will be provided. In the illustration, a couple of locations were added for illustrative purposes.
If you wish to add additional users to your account, you may go back to “My Profile” to add. Select “Users” from the options as illustrated below. Once selecting “Users,” you will be presented with several fields. If you wish user to be an administrator and/or receive email and text alerts, you must select and enter contact information accordingly.
Adding Gateways To add Assets, Measurement Points, and Gateways to your location, first select the location from the drop-down list at the top right corner of the portal. Click the top left icon “GO Facility” or the Emerson logo, to land at the Assets page. At this point, the asset page will be empty. Important: Prior to adding sensors and gateways, it is important to remember that the hardware added to your site should correspond with their physical location.
To add one or multiple Gateways your location, select “Device Management,” then select the “Gateways” radio button. Once selected, click the “Add” button. You may now enter your Gateway information. The most important field is the Gateway Serial Number. This will allow the Gateway to be validated and added. It is recommended to enter the “Gateway Name” based on the location and area of the gateway to make finding and retrieval easier.
Adding Locations, Assets and Measurement Points Note: The logical structure of Locations, Assets and Measurement points are as follows: The structure allows for a wide range of different configurations, from a simple 1:1 (one asset, one measurement point) to 1:n (one asset, multiple measurement points). Measurement Points can be thought of as the area within an asset where conditions are being measured. For illustrative purposes, imagine a Walk-in cooler with one temperature sensor.
In a larger area, you may wish to assign multiple measurement points to one asset. Imagine a receiving dock with multiple areas and mixed commodities. The configuration may look as follows: Ultimately, you have full control over how you would like to see and monitor your assets. Ensure you are in the right location before adding a new asset or measurement point. Select “Device Management” and then select the “Assets” radio button. Select “Add” to create a new asset.
Name your asset and provide an Asset Id. The Asset Id can be used to filter or organize assets in the Asset view list later. When creating your asset, you’ll be asked to provide the “Asset Type” this simply pre-defines a set of upper and lower limits for alert parameters to all Measurement Points assigned to the asset later. To add a Measurement Point, simply to back to “Device Management” and select the “Measurement Point” radio button, then select “Add.
Editing Measurement Points Once you have created the Measurement Point, you may edit its parameters to meet measurement needs of the parent Asset or Measurement Point (area). Simply select the “Edit Measurement Point” option that appears on the right-hand side of your newly created Measurement Point. Once selected, you can set up your specific requirements and alert thresholds. If a sensor needs to be replaced, you can simply remove the old senor and assign a new one to the measurement point.
Enable Alerts/Schedules Before you can enable alerts for a Measurement Point, you need to toggle which alerts you wish to be able to set for your location. To do this, simply visit “Device Management” and select “Alarm Settings.” Here you can toggle alerts on/off and if your location only needs alerts during specific days, you can select schedules. To create a schedule, visit “My Profile” and select “Schedules.
Reviewing Data Once you have added your Gateways, created your assets, measurement points, and assigned sensors, and your Gateways and sensors are activated and powered on, you will start seeing data populate in the “Asset” overview section for the selected location. To see specific information about historical performance of a specific Measurement Point, simply select it in the list.
A new page will load where you can see a temperature graph over a selected date range along with summary statistics.
