In these articles you will learn how to install a Ingersoll Rand INSIGHTqcx controlinkl. Spindle connects to ELAM via a Smart Work Assistant (SWA) 5 Client WiFi. Initially, the Ingersoll Rand qcx control a direct network connection to the Smart Work Assistant via Ethernet. An OpenProtocol controller is pre-installed on the SWA, which ELAM uses to activate and deactivate the tool.
Note: Communication with the Ingersoll Rand qcx controller only takes place via an OpenProtocol interface.
To use the Ingersoll Rand qcx controller, you need at least the following hardware:
The following OpenProtocol and firmware version of the control unit is required:
A user name and password are required to make settings on the control unit.
The SWA is delivered with the following network settings as standard:
IP-Adresse: 10.43.0.1
Subnetz Maske: 255.255.255.0
Port: 4545 (standard port for OpenProtocol tools)
In this section you will learn how the Ingersoll Rand qcx controller must be set correctly so that the connection to the OpenProtocol controller on the SWA can be established. To do this, connect the Ingersoll Rand qcx controller to the power supply and connect the controller to the SWA via an Ethernet cable.
Note: Only use port 1 on the Ingersoll Rand control unit for the Ethernet connection. Port 2 is intended by the manufacturer for service.
How to configure the Ingersoll Rand qcx control unit:
Note: Primary DNS and Secondary DNS must be empty and are not required.
If the OpenProtocol and network settings are configured correctly, the control unit automatically connects to the SWA Gateway. The connection is established when the "factory symbol" on the control unit lights up green.
Connect your Ingersoll Rand tool to the control unit so that the tool can be created as a tool in ELAM Solutions and controlled later.
You can find instructions for setting up the connection on the manufacturer's website: https://irtoolhelp.ingersollrand.com/hc/en-us/articles/4819309242771-Pairing-QX-tools-to-Ingersoll-Rand-Cordless-Controllers
When the tool is connected to the control unit, the "WiFi symbol" on the control unit lights up green.
As soon as the tool is connected to the controller and there is a network connection to the SWA Gateway, the tool is automatically created as a tool in ELAM Administration. The tool must be assigned to a station in ELAM Solutions and can be activated via the screw step in the Flowchart Editor.
