Installation and commissioning
To register the sensor
units in OMNITREND,
click the <Load> button.
• In the ‘Configuration’ window, click the <Add from device>
button. OMNITREND establishes a connection to the bridge and
then lists all sensor units that are within the radio range of the
bridge and have sent requests for measuring configurations.
Note
Each sensor unit is clearly identified by its unique MAC address.
Sensor units can thus be identified with reference to the com-
pleted measuring point report.
• Click the <OK> button. The sensor units are now available in
OMNITREND and can be assigned to the measuring points.
5.6.3 Assigning measuring points in the database to
a sensor unit and bridge
The measuring point report contains all information regarding
the assignment of channels to measuring points. The respective
sensor units are identified in OMNITREND by means of their MAC
address.
In systems with several bridges, you can assign the sensor units to
any available bridge. However, the following issues should be kept
in mind for proper assignment:
• Select the bridge with the best reception: At every bridge select
“RF Sensor Units” in the main menu, and check the receive level
of the sensor unit you wish to assign (see also “Changing IP
address of bridge”, page 30).
• Maximum 50 sensor units can be assigned to each bridge.
