3.3.3 Pre-commissioning tasks
Before any commissioning of sensors commences, each sensor location being
populated should have an associated machine/system location, in the database. This
pre-commissioning work should be done ahead of time so that the database is
populated with information on the sensor configuration and location. Prepare the app
by configuring connection details for that @ptitude Observer instance.
3.3.4 Commissioning
Assuming the sensor pre-commissioning steps have been completed and a
commissioned gateway is within range, once at the machine proceed as follows:
A. Launch the app. An earlier log in with network access is recommended.
B. Select ‘Scan Sensor’ function.
a. Bring the device close to the sensor to use NFC to wake it up, out of
flight mode. Refer to Commissioning troubleshooting for guidance on
positioning the device relative to the sensor when using NFC.
C. After a period for Bluetooth search the ID of the sensor will be displayed.
Select it to connect and display sensor status and other information.
D. To commission it:
a. Press ‘Commission’.
b. Drill down through the Functional location > Asset > to the desired
Location tag.
c. Leaf mode “yes”/”no” set in @ptitude Observer, can be overridden at
this point if needed.
d. Confirm selections by pressing ‘Commission’.
E. App shows confirmation of successful commissioning or error. After exiting
this screen, the app will instruct the commissioned sensor to activate its mesh
radio and attempt to connect. If the commissioning attempt was unsuccessful
then the process can be repeated by pressing ‘Try Again’.
F. If not installed prior to commissioning, install the sensor now.
G. Repeat steps B to F for all sensors being processed.
H. Note that it can take some time before a sensor joins the mesh and is able to
send a notification to @ptitude Observer. When @ptitude Observer displays
the sensor Hardware ID, this is the indication that this process is complete
and sensor configurations can be synchronised.
Note: as mesh networks adapt, the sensors should not be activated until they are at
their mounting location.
For a more complete understanding of the interaction between the sensor’s
proximity, WPAN and mesh radio systems and the normal process flow, refer to the
description in IMx-1 sensor troubleshooting.
