Completing the Work order form
This forms part of our discovery prior to installation and is our reference when connecting the signals and data to your Busroot account. There are some areas marked for completion due to the installation, these can be ignored at this stage.
You do not need to complete every cell in the section named Signal Source. Please fill in the signals that you know you would like to collect data from for each machine. For example, Machine 1 signal source for running indication is an Andon light. There is more examples of types below:
Discovery
Objectives of the discovery phase:
Identify the machines and processes to be monitored
Photograph the machine in location
Photograph controls including inside cabinets
Is there available space for a new device?
Is there a 24v DC supply available?
If not, what power options are available?
Find and photograph any available schematics
Identify signals, where possible, for:
Running indication
Andon Lights (Green)
Idle position light (negative indication)
Production Cycle Counts
Actuators or relays related to cycle
Optical sensors
Line Speed
Available via PLC as OPC-UA data.
Analogue Signal
e.g. 0-10v signal from motor inverter
Error indicators
Error lights
Andon Lights (red)
Document information regarding electrical supply
Number of phases
Power rating
Photograph relevant connection and supplier
Energy Monitoring
For each machine let us know how many phases the machine uses (single phase or 3 phase).
And what the maximum current draw is?
Confirm available networking
WiFi
Confirm which WiFi network is to be used.
Use mobile app to confirm networks signal strength at each machine
Window: Use WiFi connections manager.
Ethernet
Which machines is wired Ethernet available at. (Less important if WiFi is available)
