Danfoss AK-SM 850 - System Configuration

The following section describes the typical steps required for
commissioning and conguration of your AK-SM. Although site
applications can dier from one site to another, many setup
procedures are common. This setup section assumes the AK-SM
is mounted and all necessary power, network cabling and
controllers are in place. The described work ow is based around
the AK-SM web browser interface, but would equally apply if
being done via the local screen. Further detailed commissioning
instructions are found though out this user guide.

When conguring your application, have in mind
which control strategy you wish to utilise.
The AK-SM oers unique control exibility in that both centralized
and de-centralized control methods are supported. The term
‘centralized’ is used to describe the control of refrigeration Racks
via I/O (Danfoss Input / Output modules). Under this method of
control the refrigeration control is managed directly from the
front end (AK-SM), with eld bus I/O. De-centralized control is the
term used to describe the full support of Danfoss Pack and Case
controllers. Under this method, each Pack or Case controller on
the network can be seen as self contained, with control logic built
in. The front end (AK-SM) under this type of application is more of
a network manager, providing full read / write access and energy
saving functions.
When starting your system conguration you will have the oppor-
tunity to select either Centralized or De-centralized (or a mix of
both) control methods.
The following areas of system conguration will be covered in this
section;
Network Nodes (Network scan/ Node overview, Points, scan /cong status, duplicates, upload/download)
Time (Set time/date, time zone, operating Hours, Daylight savings, Holidays)
System (Store / Region Names, Units preferences, Authorization levels and users)
Communication (DNS, DHCP, IP Ports)
Alarms (XML, e-mail, Routing)
Control (Congure Refrigeration, Lighting, Miscellaneous, Energy meters and Gas detection)
Once successfully logged into the AK-SM (web) and assuming you
have the required authorization, system conguration is done via
the central ‘Conguration tab’. Clicking this tab reveals the
conguration ‘sub tabs’. Depending on your selection, these sub
tabs will change dependent on content.
Using the menu structure seen in the ‘Conguration’ page, a step
by step process can be applied when setting up your AK-SM.
