*Important Note: for local, on premise, @ptitude Observer installations Wi-Fi access
to the server is required so that a connection to the app can be established during
commissioning and maintenance. This connection can be just temporary and can
precede the commissioning work but is required irrespective of whether Wi-Fi is used
for the gateway network connection.
1.3 SKF Enlight Collect IMx-1 wireless sensors
The IMx-1 sensor (CMWA 6100) is aimed at the monitoring of fixed plant and
equipment. This battery powered, wireless sensor facilitates an Enlight Collect online
system replacing traditional periodic monitoring using portable equipment. It supports
the following measurements:
• Acceleration
• Velocity
• Enveloping
• Temperature
The sensor has a female mounting thread and can be fixed to the measuring point
via a threaded mounting stud or an adapter disc with stud, where the disc is
adhesively bonded to the machine.
1.4 SKF Enlight Collect gateway
The Enlight Collect Gateway (CMWA 6600) is placed in the production/industrial
environment, somewhere central to its associated sensors and in a location where
power and any required network connections can be made available to it. Each
gateway can manage multiple sensors: testing is currently limited to 20 sensors
across a maximum of 10 functional locations.
Where possible choose a gateway location that maximises the number of IMx-1
sensors that have a direct line of sight, with it. As support for external antennas is not
yet implemented do not enclose the gateway inside a further/outer enclosure that
would block the radio signals.
Note: gateways must be associated with their own set of sensors, a particular sensor
can only communicate with one gateway.
1.4.1 Connections and interfaces
The gateway is housed in an IP rated enclosure and has built-in antenna for Wi-Fi
and sensor mesh communications. The lower panel is the only area normally
accessible to the user and conceals IP rated connectors for all wired connections. A
view of the gateway with its various features and connections highlighted, is shown
