The Remote Management Tool (RMT) is a PC software application
tool that is designed to support the AK-SM, both in commissioning and service. The RMT is a powerful tool that allows full oine
programming and simulation of AK-SM databases, providing the
opportunity to save considerable on site commissioning times.
In addition, the RMT tool has various remote management
features, facilitating complete system management. Creating
custom images for the AK-SM web browser is also another
function of the RMT tool. The following features can be seen in
th e RMT;
• Oine web Programming
Launch oine web simulator(s) to allow full oine AK-SM
database programming, with controller simulation you can
fully pre-program your application and save the resulting
database to USB for on site install.
• Program simulation
From within the web browser session simulate board and
point variables to test calculations and system behaviour
• Custom Graphics
Use your own Jpeg or bitmap le to crate custom images,
mapped with any congured system data point
• F TP (File Transfer Protocol)

The RMT tool is available from your Danfoss sales oce with
associated supporting documentation.
As the AK-SM uses IP networking standards to create remote
access it may be necessary to congure any site routers to allow
incoming connections, either from a LAN or WAN view. The gure
below shows a simple IP connection with the AK-SM connected to
a standard network router with a typical factory IP address range.
From within the LAN any remote connections should ‘point’ to
the master IP address of the AK-SM, in this example
http://192.168.1.100. If however the remote connection is on a
WAN then the LAN router may need to be congured to allow this
inbound connection, with the addition of the web port added tot
he end of the http sting.
Please refer to the port allocation table below for remote IP
connections

AK-SM
WAN IP 172.28.6.108
For WAN access port
forwarding is required
1. The port number is required to be typed
into the URL address ONLY if the web port is
NOT congured as 80. For example, if the port
number is congured as 8080, then Computer
A needs to type in ht tp: //192.168.1.100:8 080,
while Computer B needs to type in
http://172.68.6.108:8080 to access the website
of the unit.
2. If the port number is dened as default
number 80, then it is not necessary to type in
“:80” in the URL address, this is because the
HTTP protocol uses 80 as default port. If the
router port forwarding is correctly congured,
it is not required in WAN access either.

Notes for FTP port forwarding in AK-SM units
In AK-SM units, FTP service is a convenient way to download/
upload les and updating database/code. Open FTP server
ports to the public internet is not considered as a safe network
practice. To avoid these issues, Danfoss strongly suggests FTP
functionality in LAN network only . This would reduce the risk
of open FTP ports and enhance network security. However, to
make the FTP work on WAN side, it must have configured FTP
server port opened and forwarded to the public internet.

Refrigeration layout Wizard (used to dene your refrigeration
layout, grouping case with packs, forming associations)
One of the main features of the refrigeration layout wizard allows
the user to make use of a network scan. The principle is that the
wizard is initially used to initiate a network scan, discover and list
what is found. This discovery is then used to easily dene the
Pack and Case controller relationships (suction groups). The
wizard allows for easy drag and drop association, the net result is
that once completed the refrigeration layout is built in the AK-SM.
The Refrigeration layout Wizard can be used during a live connection to your AK-SM or can be used when programming oine.
limitations: Whilst the wizard will layout the Pack and Case
relationships, further controller conguration may be required.
Refer to section
any remaining conguration areas required. Currently the wizard
is intended for Pack and Case devices, any controls not designated as such will have to be congured using traditional cong
methods (see Conguration section).
Open the Refrigeration layout wizard and follow the described
steps, each step has some description for the available actions.
The following wizard screens are available in sequential order;
add, copy, remove)
Circuits (Input Evaporator controller name, view address, model,
add, copy, remove)
Suction Group mapping (Drag and drop your evap controllers
under each pack)
Summary (view your groupings before nishing wizard and thus
processing your selections to the AK-SM)
After the relevant networks have been selected an scanned the
‘Discovery’ screen will show all detected devices. Once satised
with the correct content press the forward button to continue
the wizard.
The ‘Compressors’ screen allows for custom text input. If working
oine (programming a database not being connected to a
AK-SM) the Add, Copy and Remove buttons can be used.
Double click the ‘Name’ line to enter a custom description for the
device. Pressing return will automatically focus on the next
device name in the list.
If your scanned list has known devices that are standalone (not associated with a Pack) these must be
mapped under ‘No Compressor’. Manually add a new
compressor and double click the model line and select
‘No Compressor’. When the nal wizard screen is
presented any standalone controls can be mapped under
this ‘No Compressor’ group.
The ‘Circuits’ screen follows the same principle as the Compressors screen.
Use the Add button when creating oine nodes. Double
click the ‘model’ line to bring up a selection of nodes
The ‘Suction group mapping’ screen allows for the dened
evaporator devices to be ‘mapped’ under the required Pack
controller. This mapping forms a relationship or grouping
between the pack and the evaporator devices. This grouping
association will then be seen in the AK-SM conguration and
dashboard screens (and can be used to easily set up master
control functions like Suction optimization).
As the user description indicates, use a drag and drop action to
group your controls. Use the CTRL key and multi-select cases to
save time when making bulk actions. You can remove any case
devices by simply dragging back to the available case list.
The check box labelled ‘Allow multi-case circuit creation’ is to
support Centralized refrigeration control conguration, where
multiple case circuits are available’. Leave this check box empty if
you are using a de-centralized control strategy (i.e. Case and pack
controllers)
Once satised with the mapping, press the forward button and
the summary screen will be shown. Pressing the nish button
will then send your conguration layout to the AK-SM. During
this time a progress bar will be shown and nally a status
dialogue box.
This completed wizard process will layout your refrigeration
application. Typically some additional conguration tasks will
then need to be completed (i.e. dene alarms, setpoint changes,
congure history), please refer to the following section for further
details on detailed conguration.
The following section describes the typical steps required for
commissioning and conguration of your AK-SM. Although site
applications can dier 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.
De-Centralized
Pack & Case
The AK-SM oers 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 conguring your application, have in mind
which control strategy you wish to utilise.
Centralized
Rack I/O
When starting your system conguration you will have the opportunity to select either Centralized or De-centralized (or a mix of
both) control methods.
The following areas of system conguration will be covered in this
section;
Time (Set time/date, time zone, operating Hours, Daylight savings, Holidays)
2
System (Store / Region Names, Units preferences, Authorization levels and users)
3
Communication (DNS, DHCP, IP Ports)
4
5
Alarms (XML, e-mail, Routing)
6
Control (Congure Refrigeration, Lighting, Miscellaneous, Energy meters and Gas detection)
Once successfully logged into the AK-SM (web) and assuming you
have the required authorization, system conguration is done via
the central ‘Configuration tab’. Clicking this tab reveals the
conguration ‘sub tabs’. Depending on your selection, these sub
tabs will change dependent on content.
Using the menu structure seen in the ‘Conguration’ page, a step
by step process can be applied when setting up your AK-SM.
If your application already has controllers and/or I/O modules
set and powered you may wish to perform a network scan to
validate their connection to the AK-SM. Follow this section to
perform a network scan
From the Conguration tab select the ‘Network Nodes’ sub-tab.
When your eld network is complete and all controllers are on
line a network scan can be initiated. The operation of a network
scan allows the AK-SM to be aware of any controller devices on
the network, allowing the AK-SM to communicate and function
with the controllers on the eld bus.
Use this screens to

Relays | Sensors | On/Off | Variable Output
This tab relates to any AK I/O congured
points, the term points relates to AK I/O
relay, sensors, On/O Inputs and variable
outputs. Any control questions that have
required AK I/O control will be seen in
these tabs. The purpose of these tabs is to
allow the viewing of the I/O point status.

Duplicates Tab
Check this list to make sure no two devices have been assigned
the same network address. Any duplicate address will be
shown in this list. Correct any address issues and re-scan.
Upload Tab
The upload tab will list any controllers that have been uploaded.
The upload function can be performed in the Conguration>Control area (one controller at a time) or here (multiple devices
with one command). The process of an upload takes the
current parameter settings and values from the controller(s) and
loads them into the AK-SM database. This operation ensures
that the AK-SM database is synchronised with any pre-congured controllers on the control network. Any upload failure will
be shown on this screen, else a time / date stamp will be shown
when successful
Download Tab
The download tab will list any controllers that have been
processed for download (where the AK-SM sends parameter
data to the device). The download function can be performed
individually under the Conguration->Control page or here,
where multiple controllers can be selected for download (using
one command). The process of a download takes the AK-SM
database values and downloads them to the selected
controller(s). Any upload failure will be shown on this screen,
else a time / date stamp will be shown
After the network scan has completed, any resulting count will be
seen against the Nodes Scanned on Network line - this reects
the number of found nodes on the scan just completed. The
corresponding line below (Nodes congured in database)
reects the current total of network nodes actually congured in
the AK-SM database.
The last group in this table refers to the following node types;

The following example can be seen as a guide to conguring your
AK-SM alarm logic options;
To congure an alarm action, navigate to the required output line
(I.E. Relay A) and press enter. The resulting screen allows the
conguration of the alarm actions, any pre delays, duration times
and stop conditions. The results of this conguration will be
shown in the alarm routing page.
Alarm Actions (1-8)
Up to 8 alarm actions can be dened. Each alarm action can have multiple outputs, making
the AK-SM alarm output options very exible. ‘Look down’ each alarm action number column
Component Column (alarm output)
and any associated outputs will be seen in the left hand column
Select from the options seen in this
column;
• Relay A-E
• Front LED
• Buzzer
• Int. Relay
• Network 1
• Network 2
Stop
The stop condition denes when the alarm output will stop or return to congured
position. The following denitions apply;
Time = Stop on time (set under duration)
Ack = Stop on alarm being acknowledged
Clear = Stop when alarm clears
Time/Rep = Stop after time delay but repeat if alarm is still active
Ack/Rep = Stop after alarm is acknowledged. If alarm still
active after acknowledge repeat
alarm action (repeat
Alarm Actions (1-8)
Custom text that better
reects the alarm relays
can be entered.
Use the ‘component name display’ to toggle
between custom text &
factory name (Relay A,
Relay B...)
Alarm output options
Select the appropriate
‘component’ (i.e relay,
network) and congure
by double clicking on
the appropriate line
Each alarm action can have multiple relays, IP address, etc assigned
Delay
Once an alarm action is dened the
associated time delay for the action can be
set. This delay is in addition to any delay
already dened in any controller (i.e. EKC) or
monitoring points (i.e. I/O) dened in the
system.
Duration
A duration time is available when either
Time or Time/Repeat are selected as stop
conditions. The duration setting denes
the length of time the alarm output will be
active for (irrespective if the alarm is still
active or acknowledged or not)
Available in second or minute selections. 0
Sec/Min duration will result in the alarm
output remaining o.
Min = 0 Sec/Min
Max = 99 Sec/Min
Delays & Stop conditions
Set pre delay, duration and
stop conditions (for each
alarm output selection)
This example will describe the steps to congure an alarm
actions. Alarm action 1 will be dened according to the follow-
ing;
• Relay A should trigger after a 10 second pre delay. This relay
will energize any time and will only reset when the alarm
clears.
• The Front LED should activate (de-activate LED when alarm
clears)
• The Buzzer should only activate during the Day (Buzzer
stops when alarm is Acknowledged)
• Alarm message should also be sent out via e-mail
The above alarm outputs are associated with action 1 - ‘look
down’ the alarm action 1 column and the relevant outputs can be
seen in the left of the page.
To dene the alarm output options navigate down the page and
double click the relevant line.
This opens another page that allows the conguration for that
output to be set. In the example below Relay A and the
Buzzer can be seen. Follow the same process for the
other outputs. For e-mail output, navigate to the
Network 1 line and press enter. Here, set the action,
time delay & stop conditions. (The actual e-mail
conguration is done in the Alarm ‘Connections’ page).
‘Look down’ Alarm action 1 column
The results of the alarm output conguration can
be seen in the central Alarm Routing page. Follow
this process for other actions.
Relay A Conguration page
Action settings:
Once in the actual output page, navigate through the lines and
set the relevant Action. Each action can have the following
settings;
Not Selected: No action
Enabled: Will enable this output action (any time of day)
Day: Enable this output during day status (based on store
opening times (Conguration->Time)
Night: Enable this output during night status (based on time
Delay, Units & Stop settings:
outside of store opening times (Conguration->Time)
To complete the output conguration set the time delay,
units & stop conditions should be set. Stop conditions;
Time = Stop on time (set under duration)
Ack = Stop on alarm being acknowledged
Clear = Stop when alarm clears
Time/Rep = Stop after time delay but repeat if alarm is still active
Ack/Rep = Stop after alarm is acknowledged. If alarm still active
If the alarm output includes relay(s) the Relays tab should be
accessed to congure the board & point address for these relays.
The example below shows relay A & C, with the associated (AK
I/O) board & point address.
System tab
Enter the AK I/O board & point location for the
relay(s)
Select N-Open / N-Closed as required
AK-SM system based alarm conditions should be set under the
System tab. The alarms seen in this page are factory set but can
be changed as per site requirements. Navigate down each line
and congure (pressing the enter key) as required. The following
items can be seen and changed under the System tab;
I/O Network Fail: Alarm if communications to AK I/O fails
Flash Memory fail: Alarm if AK-SM system memory fails
Database Cleared: Alarm if AK-SM database is cleared
File Error: Alarm if critical les do not load / not present on
AK-SM system (I.E. Device list missing)
Alarm send fail: Alarm if any active alarms were unable to be
sent out
NTP Failure: Alarm if the network time protocol fails
Host Comm: Alarm If host communication fails
Host Count: Alarm if one or more AK-SM units disconnect from
host netwok
Ram Disk Full: Alert alarm if Ram is getting full (due to EDF les)
Factory settings can be changed as per customer
requirements.
If Controllers (Danfoss Evap & Pack, Power meters) and, I/O has
been used in the control conguration (Lighting, HVAC, Refrigeration etc.), these devices can be seen under the I/O Comm tab.
The I/O Comm tab allows any oine communication alarms to be
congured. The example below shows an evaporator controller
(address 1) with the alarm level set to ‘Normal’ & alarm action ‘1’.
These factory settings can be changed in this page.
Any AK I/O points used in the AK-SM system can be found on this
page, with the associated alarm level and actions set. The factory
settings can be changed as required.
Calculations & Other
If any calculations have been dened in the AK-SM
system, alarms can be associated with these. Use
the Calculations tab to set appropriate alarm levels
and actions.
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 application 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
For de-centralized control, ensure the control type is
set to your required controller type (via drop down
menu)
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
De-Centralized
Pack & Case
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.
Centralized
Rack I/O
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-centralized)
AK IO = built in control via AK I/O
No Compressor = No Compressor control
Device selection = select required controller
Note: Variable Speed can be selected as a pack controller.
28 | USCO.PI.R1.H2.02 |
Suction groups (Suction group or Evaporator
control)
Add your required quantity of suctions groups
(centralized logic) OR enter how many evaporator controls are available under your Pack
(de-centralized)
Note: suction group / evap conguration is then
done under the Refrigeration tab
The following screen shots below represent an example of
de-centralized conguration (Pack and Case control).
The AK-SM has been congured for two pack controllers (AK-PC
730 and the AK-PC 840), with 5 Evaporator controllers under each
pack. Selection for each Pack controller was made via the pop up
box that appears when the Rack line is double clicked.
Once the Pack controllers have been dened and the number of
case controllers under each pack have been set, continue to the
Refrigeration tab for detailed conguration.
Double click to select your
required Pack device
First, navigate to the ‘Address’ tab. Enter a valid network address,
corresponding to the address already set in the eld controllers.
Note: If your eld controllers have already been congured with
the relevant parameters set, you may wish to perform an ‘Upload’.
This function forces the AK-SM to pull back the controller settings
and thus synchronize the AK-SM database. Only use the ‘Download’ function if you have nished controller conguration on the
AK-SM and you wish then to send these settings ‘down’ to the
controller.
A one click option for this (upload/download) can be found under
the Conguration->Network Nodes tab
Set a custom name for your control devices
Enter address that matches the physical
address in the pack and case controllers
Once all the addresses and custom naming is complete escape
out of the addresses menu and navigate to the ‘Suction’ tab. This
will allow for conguration of the Pack Controller(s). Use the drop
down (Suction) menu to access each Pack controller and the
corresponding menus. Please note that any online controller
devices will invoke a dialogue box which asks if you wish to
retrieve the data from this controller. This dialogue box is
intended to direct the choice of either uploading data from a
controller (overwriting any previous settings held in the AK-SM
database) or not. If you have existing controllers on the network
which have already been congured, choose the upload option
(this need only be done once for each controller you view).
Controller menu selection. Use
this drop down list to access the
dierent controller menus.
When to use Upload / Download function:
The AK-SM holds a database in which all the system conguration
is held. This includes any actual controller devices connected or
just devices that have been selected ready for conguration. It is
important to recognise when to perform an upload or download
function so that any preset conguration is not overwritten by
automatic upload by the AK-SM.
Upload
This function may be required where the case and pack controllers have already been congured and all parameters are set
according to customer specications. In this instance the need is
to typically perform an upload function, thus updating the AK-SM
database to fully reect the controllers commissioned settings.
Once this has been done, changes to the controller settings can
be done directly from the AK-SM.
Download
The opposite to this would be where the controller devices have
not been set per customer specication and the AK-SM should be
used as the commissioning tool or window into the controllers.
By navigating through all the controller screens in the AK-SM it is
possible to congure the controller parameters and then send
these setting to the connected controllers via the download
function.
Controller parameters, to modify or
change double click line and press the
enter key. The new value will be sent to
the controller*
*Controller must be online
*Some controller types require the main
switch (R12 parameter) to be o before
certain changes can be made
To aid the commissioning process, the AK-SM oers a settings
copy function which can be used to copy one device settings and
alarm conguration to other (similar) device(s). This function
works when copying settings to and from same controller version
/ type devices. The procedure described below is one example of
the copy /paste function.
Use the Copy tab to open the copy page, where any same
controller type devices can be copied to. The actual device page
will act as the copy base, so ensure the correct circuit is selected
(in the drop down list). Select all or individual controllers that
will be copied to, then press the copy to line.
The copy function copies controller parameters etc from
once device to the AK-SM database, to complete the
operation the (copied) settings need to be downloaded to
the required controllers.
The Global download function can be seen under the
Network Nodes -> Download section
Import SI | OI function
Use the Import SI (Sensor Input) and Import OI (On/Iff ) function
to gain access to ‘generic’ controller (Evap & Pack) parameters
that are normally not accessible for alarm / logging / Boolean use.
This function can be used to alarm on specic parameters not in
the factory alarm list and / or can be used to import controller
parameters in the Boolean logic calculator. Up to sixteen points
can be selected per controller. This function extends the exibility
of controller support in the AK-SM and opens up the generic
controllers parameter list for more customer specic needs. The
following steps highlight the procedure in ‘Importing’
From the import page(s) double click an import line to present
a pop up box that shows all available parameters. Select the
parameter that you wish to ‘import’ from the controller (you may
give it a custom name).
In the example below, the parameter Po Set point has been
selected. This parameter can now be seen in the miscellaneous
calculator.
Extended Cong function
Extended conguration (changing what parameter is seen in the
System View, Dashboard & Device detail status)
Using the extended conguration tab the factory standard
parameter that is used for ‘System View’ status can be changed.
This feature is useful in giving the end user more exibility in
showing the relevant sensor at the system and device detail views.
By changing the overview value the AK-SM will then display the
new selected parameter or status in the system view, Dashboard
and device detail pages.
Use the Alarm tab to dene the alarm actions associated with this
device. Use the Alarm select tab to select up to 300 alarm points
(max 300 per AK-PC controller)
Conguration -> HISTORY
The AK-SM history section allows the collection and recording of
control parameters, values and status. The central history
function allows up to 600 ‘points’ to be congured, a point being
a temperature, pressure, status, relay, etc. The collection of
history allows further analysis using the AK-SM or remote web
browser, where a graphical representation of this data can be
made.
To congure history, navigate to the Setup tab (Conguration>History). The following setup lines are visible;
Auto Congure History: Use this function to auto select typical
points needed for logging (the AK-SM will select key points in the
Refrigeration, HVAC, Lighting and Misc control areas. Manual
conguration can be done to override these selections or add
more as required.
Clear History Conguration: Use this function to clear history
conguration (points selected for history & the frequency of
samples)
Clear History log: Use this function to clear stored history in the
AK-SM
Start / Suspend History: Once the relevant points have been
selected for history collection (using either the Auto history,
manual or a combination of both) press this line to Start the
collection. Press again to Stop collection
Status: Displays the current status of history collection (Collecting or Suspended)
No of Congured datapoints: Displays the number of congured history points (max 600)
Note: Ensure the correct time & date are set in
the AK-SM. Make sure the history collection
function is running to ensure the collection of
datapoints. Use the ‘Start History’ line and
check that the status reects ‘Collecting’
32 | USCO.PI.R1.H2.02 |
Auto Congure History
When selecting the auto congure history function
the AK-SM presents the option to select the history
collection sample rate.
These can be later changed & modied under the
relevant history device type (Controllers/Relays/
Sensors/On/O/Variable/Other)
Controllers
If any controllers are congured for history collection, these can
be seen in the ‘Controllers’ tab. The example below shows a
evaporator controller with the various control groups accessible
via a drop down menu. Any auto history settings will be seen in
these controller group lists, manual conguration of any parameter can be done in this page.
Navigate and select appropriate points for
history collection, via the drop down menu
selector. Double click a required line, a pop up
selection box allows the choice of sample rates;
1,2,10,30 mins
1 Hr
Relays, Sensors, On/O Inputs, Variable Outputs & Other
Depending on the dened control criteria, other points may be
viewed and modied under the respective tabs.
Your AK-SM supports the Danfoss Service Tool (version 3.23 and
above). The Service Tool (CT) must be connected via an IP
interface. Once an connection is established the ST will show the
AK-SM and all AK2 platform devices. Note that non AK2 platform
based devices will not show up in the ST device list.
When creating a new connection in your ST make sure you select
TCP/IP channel.

Once connected, navigate to your required controller in the
available list. Access to all AK2 parameters is available via this
connection.
Once your AK-SM has been congured, general navigation and
daily use is done via the Dashboard screen. The Dashboard
screen acts as the central system home page, where further
system details can be reached. The Dashboard and subsequent
device screens have been developed to provide an easy to use
navigation environment for the user, where typical status and

FAI / Factory Application ImageUSB
Remotely Upgrading you AK-SM unit - what is the FAI le
Your AK-SM has the ability to be upgraded via a remote connection (RMT). Upgrading via remote oers several advantages, the
obvious one being time saving. However, this is increased risk
when preforming remote upgrades (i.e. quality of connectivity,
power..). Software version 03_051 (and above) comes with an
additional extension, FAI (Factory Application Image). The FAI
software le contains special code designed to support remote
software upgrades. The FAI le provides a ‘fall back’ state, if at
any time a later remote upgrade fails or gets corrupted. Rather
than leave a unit in a unstable state in the event of a corrupted
remote upgrade, the factory image ensures you can always make
contact to re-install code again. In addition, the FAI contains the
MAI, which also contains all relevant web and EDF les. Via the
Info screen, check if your AK-SM unit has a Factory Application
installed. For future remote upgrades it is recommended that the
FAI is installed if it is not already present in your system. The AKSM can run without the FAI, with rmware updates being done
via the MAI le.
Under the Info->Information tab, check to see if a Factory Application
is installed (FAI).
If you intend to perform remote software updates, Danfoss recommends the loading of the FAI le.
Recommended method for upgrading your AK-SM - Bootloader
The AK-SM bootloader le is a critical le that manages system
boot up sequence and system management. The Bootloader can
not be loaded remotely. Updating the bootloader can be done
in application mode (normal AK-SM operation) or when placed in
bootloder mode. The following description of how to upgrade
your Bootloder version is via normal AK-SM operation mode.
Bootloader
1/ Back up current database (via USB ash drive or RMT)
2/ Load the latest Bootloader on to the root directory of a
suitable USB ash Drive and insert in the AK-SM. The Bootloader
le is shown under option 1 of the resulting USB pop up window.
A progress dialog box will appear, to conrm loading status.
3/ Upon nishing the Bootloader le installation the AK-SM will
reset. Your AK-SM will reset in Bootloder mode. Manually reset
the AK-SM by pressing and holding down the CPU reset button,
located behind the front USB access door. The system will now
boot into normal application mode.
CPU Reset button (Press and hold for 5 seconds)
Located inside USB access door
Firmware
Danfoss recommends using the Master Application Image
software (MAI), as it contains all relevent les for correct operation
(Firmware, Web and EDF). The following steps describe how to
update whilst in normal operation mode.
1/ Back up current database (via USB ash drive or RMT) if not
already done so
2/ Load the latest AK-SM rmware (i.e. MAI le) in the root directory of a suitable USB ash Drive and insert in the AK-SM.
The MAI le should be shown under option 3 of the resulting USB
pop up window. Follow on screen instructions.
3/ Allow the MAI to fully install and write to system ash memory
4/ After a few minutes the unit will reset and return to normal
operation, using the latest code.
