    Control tab
 
The control tab is the central conguration page for your control 
requirements.  It lays out the dierent application areas and 
allows the Commissioning Engineer to dene what applications 
are on site.  Once the application areas are dened on this page, 
more detailed commissioning is done in the dedicated applica-
tion tabs (covered in following section).  Note that depending on 
your license version, dierent applications may be visable (or not).  
Please also note that the SM provides the ability to congure 
centralized or de-centralized control.   Centralized control is 
where your SM has the control logic built in and uses Danfoss I/O 
to provide refrigeration control.  De-centralized is the control 
method via the use of Danfoss Pack and case controllers
Show only scanned devices:
Select ‘yes’ if your controller devices are already on the 
network, with valid addresses and connected to the 
AK-SM.  By setting to ‘yes’ and after a network scan 
(covered in next section) only discovered devices will be 
shown in the drop down boxes.  If your controllers are not 
yet on the network, keep this selection to no.
Number of Racks  / Packs (max 12):
Enter the required amount of suction groups.  
Rack type (Use I/O selection for centralized 
control, select controller type if using de-cen-
tralized)
AK IO = built in control via AK I/O
No Compressor = No Compressor control
Device selection = select required controller
Note: Variable speed drive can be selected as a 
pack controller.

Pack & Case
Rack I/O
For centralized control, ensure the control type is set to 
IO (input/Output).  This alerts the SM that you wish to 
use Danfoss Board and Point conguration for your 
refrigeration application
For de-centralized control, ensure the control type is 
set to your required controller type (via drop down 
menu)
Suction groups (Suction group or Evaporator 
control)
Add your required quantity of suctions groups 
(centralized logic) OR enter how many evapora-
tor controls are available under your Pack 
(de-centralized)
Note:  suction group / evap conguration is then 
done under the Refrigeration tab
