Instruction Manual

Scope:

This manual is valid for the RMS gateways from firmware version V1.x. The low-order digit of the firmware version stands for minor changes, e.g. correction of errors that do not influence the main functionality of the device.

1 Overview

1.1 RMS System Overview

The Rotronic Monitoring System (RMS) is a network comprising various devices and the RMS server software. The software is the hear t of the system. It collects all measure d data of t he devices an d save s it in the d atabase. The individual devices work as input modules (data loggers) and as output modules (displays, analog outputs, switched outputs). The user can view the system data at any time on a PC, laptop or smart phone.

1.2 Device Overview

All devices can be c onfigured as wanted a s mod ule s o f t he system. The follow ing t ab le sho ws all basic types of the RMS devices. Almost all modules1 have the following options:

• Interface: Ethernet / Wireless

• Housing: Wall housing / DIN top hat rail housing

The display module can show any values from the RMS network. Humidity, temperature and switch states can be configured per software.

Records the measured data of the digital HygroClip HCD or other RMS probes. Stored in the ring memory, the data are then sent to the server software.

Provides two analog voltage or current outputs or is also available as variant with two solid-state relays in order, for example, to switch alarm lamps.

Records voltage or current signals from analog devices such as particle counters, flow transmitters or CO2 probes. For example:

• HF5 transmitter (humidity & temperature)

• AF1 transmitter (air flow)

• CO2 transmitter (CO2)

• PF4 transmitter (differential pressure)

The loggers can be equipped with various temperature sensors (NTC, Pt100, Pt1000 or Kelement). This offers the highest flexibility in use.

A temperature logger with integrated or remote NTC sensor. Instead of a temperature sensor , it is also available with a switch input in order, for example, to monitor door contacts.

The gateway is the connecting element between Ethernet and wireless network and forwards the data flow from the loggers to the data centre.

Except for the Mini Logger

Instruction Manual

1.3 RMS Gateway

The gateway is the interface between the wire data logger and the web software. The gateway can manage up to 60 data loggers simultaneou sly, collect ing all w ireless logge r data and passing the m on to t he server softw are. When several gateways are us ed in t he sam e netw or k, they a re configured redundantly. If o ne gateway should fail, the data are automatically sent to the server software via another gateway.

The gateway provides the following basic functions:

o Collection of all measured data from the wireless data loggers o Transfer of the recorded data to the RMS software o Firmware update

1.4 Power Supply

The gateway has the following two power supply variants:

• 24 V (< 50 mA) via terminals (V+ / V-)

• Power over Ethernet (PoE), per standard IEEE 802.3af, Class 1

1.5 RTCC (Real Time Clock Calendar)

The device has a rea l time cloc k calendar. The ti me is sync hronized continuous ly when co nnected to the ser ver.

1.6 Interval

The interval for data transfer is exactly the same as that of the connected data loggers. At every interval the gateway receives the latest measured values from the data loggers and sends them to the server software.

1.7 Indicator and Button

The device has a button and multicolour LED for use and indication of the operating state. The button is used to start the device or switch it off in battery mode. The LED indicates the device status and whether it was possible in the current measurement interval to carry out a valid measurement and send the data to the monitoring system.

Connected

1.8 Interface

The gateway is operated completely via the LAN interface and does not have an additional service connector.

1.9 Software Compatibility

The gateway is designed for use with the RMS server software (local installation or Rotronic Cloud). The gateway can alternatively also be operated with the RMS configuration software (standalone software).

3 Installation

There is a difference between mechanical installation of the wall housing and the DIN top hat rail housing. This manual only describes installation of the wall housing. Installation of the DIN top hat rail housing requires no special handling. All terminal markings are identical to those of the wall housing. The following instructions describe installation of the data logger step by step.

Press a blunt object (e.g. screwdriver in the AC1321

mounting kit) lightly into the hole opening on the top side of the housing. The flap springs open.

Press the cover to the back
