2 TXpert Module Overview
The TXpert module is an integrated component of the TXpertTM Digital Dry Transformer. This module integrates sensors and electronics to gather data, perform calculations, and provide analytics of key performance indicators.
Data may be downloaded from the TXpert by Wi-Fi or ethernet communication with a host computer running a WebUI or by sending push communication messages to a MQTT (Message Queuing Telemetry
Transport) client.
The TXpert module consists of the main enclosure, the communications module, and the relay module.
2.1 Main Enclosure
The main enclosure houses the system electronics including the alarm and trip relays. It is mounted on a
core clamp or the inner side of the transformer cover.

2.2 Communications Module
The Communications Module is the Wi-Fi hotspot and is installed outside of any metallic enclosure (for easier accessibility and to allow
connectivity). As a security precaution, an ABB-supplied NFC/RFID
card must be detected to enable the Wi-Fi.
The communications module is equipped with a GPS device that detects the transformer location and maintains an accurate system
clock.
The typical range of TXpert Wi-Fi communications is 50 to 92 meters.
The range is impacted by interference, location and environmental
conditions.
2.3 Relay Module (Fan Control) (Optional)
The relay module is mounted on a core clamp inside the transformer enclosure and attaches to the fan
circuit. It is used by the TXpert main module (via a custom cable) to monitor and control the fans
The TXpert turns on the fan(s) when the transformer is
getting too hot, the load is too large, or to periodically
exercise the fan. The fan is turned off when the transformer cools and the load is reduced.
The TXpert calculates when to turn on and off the fans
based on algorithms with inputs including transformer
load, measured coil temperatures, calculated hot spot
temperature, and fan current.
The relay module contains two relays (25A) to perform
switching and circuitry to allow monitoring of the fan
current.

3 Setting up Your MS Windows
TM
-based Laptop
or Tablet for TXpert WebUI Communication
To communicate with the TXpert’s Web Server, you must have a modern laptop or tablet with the following required software.
Google ChromeTM:
Web Browser configured with security certificates recognizable by the ABB TXpert
MS SQLTM Browser:
A database (SQL) browser to view data
downloaded from the TXpert (e.g. DB
Browser for SQL Lite)
7-zip:
Required to bundle files used for configuration upload
Note: It is recommended that you have a tablet or laptop that is dedicated to TXpert communication.
Certain security software, firewalls, or network configurations may prevent establishment of a Wi-Fi
connection or communication with the Web Server.
3.1 Specifications
You should use a laptop or tablet with these minimum specifications:
Operating System:
MS Windows 7 or greater
(64-bit)
Memory (Ram):
4Gb or higher
Networking:
Wireless AC (802.11ac)
Screen Size:
12 inches or greater
The TXpert communicates to your laptop or tablet via Wi-Fi or Ethernet. A web server interface allows
you to view the TXpert sensor readings, calculated values, warnings and events, and transformer
characteristics. It also gives you the ability to configure key parameters, download stored readings
and calculated values, and update security

3.2 Installing Google Chrome
Download and install Google Chrome, version 56.0.2924.87 or greater, from
www.google.com/chrome/. It is recommended to set it as your default browser.
3.3 Installing the Chrome Security Certificates
Note: the exact wording on the Chrome tabs will vary depending on your version of Chrome.
Step 1:
Open Google Chrome
Step 2:
Navigate to the Chrome Settings tab. (Left-click on the ellipses on the upper right
window and select “
Settings
” from the pull-down menu.”
Step 3:
Navigate to the Advanced Settings tab by scrolling to the bottom of the Settings
tab and selecting “
Advanced
”.
Step 4:
Select “
Manage Certificates
”. A pop-up Certificates window will launch. Verify the
“
Intended Purpose
” selection is set to All then select “
Import
”. This will launch the
Certificate Import Wizard.
Step 5:
In the wizard, select “
Next
” to continue past the welcome screen.
Step 6:
Use the Browse feature
to navigate to the file
“Client.p12”. This file is
included in the TXpert
documentation package that you received
with your transformer.
(Set the file type to
“Personal Information
Exchange”.)
Figure 5

Step 7:
The wizard will advance to a Password window. Enter your password into the pass-
word field then continue selecting “
Next
”
until you reach the final window. (The default password is “pass”).
Step 8:
On the final window, you can review your file information. Press Finish to complete the certificate installation.
3.4 Installing the SQL Browser
The TXpert stores data in an SQL database and viewing the uploaded data requires a compatible
browser. This guide assumes you will you be using the SQLite database browser (which may be downloaded from http://www.sqlitebrowser.org/). The version must be 3.9.1 or greater.
3.5 Installation of 7-zip
If you plan to update the TXpert configuration file, you must bundle the configuration files into a 7-zip
format. 7-zip can be downloaded from http://www.7-zip.org/download.html . The version muse be 15.12
or greater.

2019 -03-19 16/ 57
4 Accessing the TXpert User Interface
You may access the TXpert user interface via a wired Ethernet connection or Wi-Fi. Wi-Fi communication
is initiated when the TXpert Communications Module recognizes a programmed NFC card. This triggers
the Wi-Fi connection to be exposed to laptops or tablets with a valid security certificate. The Wi-Fi
connection will automatically terminate if no communication is detected for 16 minutes. A programmed
NFC card is shipped with the TXpert modules. The Ethernet connection remains continuously active. A
custom Ethernet cable is required.
4.1 Initiating Wi-Fi
To expose the WI-Fi connection, place the NFC
card on the top, front of the communications
module over the ABB logo as shown in Figure 7.
Hold the card in place for 1-2 seconds then remove.
4.2 Connecting to Wi-Fi
After you have removed the NFC card from the Communications Module you, the TXpert exposes its Wi-Fi
connection. This typically takes 30 to 60 seconds.
The Wi-Fi SSID Name (network name) is user configurable and should
be unique for each Txpert. (Figure 9 is showing the name “txpert”.)
Launch the connections app from the system tray and wait for the
TXpert network to appear. You may need to refresh the window a few
times and/or retry initiating the connection. After the Wi-Fi SSID
name appears, click on it and then select the Connect button.
Enter your password as the security key and “OK” to continue. (The
default password is
“password”).
Figure 7
Figure 9
Figure 8
Wi-Fi initiation should be performed by trained personnel following appropriate
safety precautions.

If you are prompted to select a
security certificate, select “altranuser” and then “OK”. You may get
the warning that your connection is
not private, click on “Advanced”.
Then select “Proceed to
