SECTION 2 INTRODUCTION
Ingersoll Rand System Visualization oers a window into a compressed air system by adding a VX Module to an X8I
or X12I control network and using only a web browser on your PC. The VX Box incorporates hardware and software to
allow monitoring of the X8I and X12I Automation system as well as all connected equipment. The software allows you
to monitor your air system at a glance or take a more detailed look into system operation, equipment status and setup
through an intuitive web-page based user interface. To access the application running on the VX Box, simply connect
via a Web Browser from any PC using an Ethernet connection.
The VX Box connects to the X8I or X12I controller via the two-wire RS485 network. The VX Box is suitable for wall
mounting and can be located up to 4,000 ft. (1,219 m) from the X8I or X12I unit. The VX Box connects to the customer’s
PC or LAN via Ethernet, using a RJ45 connector, Cat5e 10/100Base T cable.
The PC can be local “stand alone” or part of a LAN. The VX Box is fully eld congurable using standard screen
templates.
The visualization interface is broken down into three major segments:
Monitor and adjust important air system data such as air system pressure and eciency, air system set points,
status of each compressor, and X8I/X12I status in an easy to read dashboard style interface. The system overview
screen is also the launching point for performance reports and historical trending. See section 5 – System
Overview.
Monitor more detailed compressor information such as the model and manufacturer of the compressor, capacity
and power data, and congurable data points. See section 7 – Equipment Overview.
View and change air system congurations such as adding or removing a compressor, I/O box, or Intelliow valve.
Manage user accounts and network conguration and view diagnostic information. See Section 8 – Conguration
Overview.
The system administrator can assign a user one of three levels of access (view only, user, and administrator) which will
determine which functions will be available to that user. For example, only users with administrator access will be able
to view or modify the conguration overview parameters. See section 8.5 – Account Management.
Please note that this software manual assumes that the Ingersoll Rand Automation VX Box has been installed and

The dashboard area of the System Overview page (SOV) is where system pressure information is displayed in an easy
to read gauge interface. The dashboard prominently displays system pressure as well as setpoints from the X8I or X12I
system controller.
The arrow on the pressure gauge represents where the system pressure is in relation to the system controller’s
setpoints. If the arrow is in the green zone system pressure is currently optimal and the system controller will take no
action. If the arrow reaches the yellow zone the system controller will consider actions to load or unload a compressor
to return system pressure to the green zone. In the red zone the system controller is taking increasingly urgent action
to return the system pressure to the green zone. Please see the X8I or X12I operator’s manual for more detailed
information on pressure control.
The other data points shown are (please note that the values below are examples only):
System pressure display units. Clicking on the units will switch between bar and
psig units of measure.
Minimum pressure alarm setting.
Low pressure setpoint minus the tolerance setting.
Low pressure setpoint. This is the pressure setpoint where the X8I or X12I will load
a compressor. This is based on the active table.
High pressure setpoint. This is the pressure setpoint where the X8I or X12I will
unload a compressor. This is based on the active table.
High pressure setpoint plus the tolerance setting.
Maximum pressure alarm setting.
Please refer to the X8I or X12I operator’s manual for further information on the system pressure setpoints.
6.3 Congurable I/O
The congurable I/O section of the SOV screen allows the user to select two data points to display on the SOV. The
user congurable I/O may be from the X8I or X12I, an Intelliow valve, or an I/O box. The congurable I/O may only be
congured by a user with administrator rights, see section 8.2.2 – User Congurable Data Items.
6.4 System Eciency Gauge
The system eciency gage calculates and displays an overview of air system energy eciency. This is intended to be a
guide only and is based on user input, monitored status, and in some cases, measured data. The system eciency units
are congurable by a user with administrator rights. System eciency can be displayed in units of cfm/kW, kW/cfm, or
kW/m3/min.
The system output gauge uses the name plate capacity of the compressors
in the air system as well as monitoring compressor load states to
determine how much compressed air is being placed into the system.
The gauge shows how much capacity is being utilized in relation to the
capacity of all compressors in the system. A ow meter can also be used
for this value. Units and data source can only be changed by a user with
administrator rights, see section 8.2 – System Setup.
The system power consumption gauge uses the name plate power
consumption of the compressors in the air system as well as monitoring
compressor load states to determine the current power draw of the
compressors. The gauge shows how much power is being consumed
in comparison to the power consumed when all compressors are at
maximum load. Units are always kW.
The system eciency reading is only a guideline and should be used for monitoring day to day changes in compressed
air system eciency. True system eciency can only be determined with accurate ow and power meters and detailed
calculations.
