Ackcio BEAM-DG User manual

Setting up Digital Node (BEAM-DG)
This page provides information on setting up a Digital Node to work with the offline Ackcio
Beam gateway.
Installation
The Nodes can be directly affixed to a flat surface using M6 screws. However, for more
sophisticated mounting scenarios, we recommend using the node bracket. The node bracket
can be used to easily mount the node on flat surfaces, on pipes using U-bolts or cable-ties, or
in other complicated settings.
If you are using the bracket, first fix the node device to the bracket using M6 screws and nuts
as shown below.

Use four screws and nuts to attach the node to the bracket
Connect the SMA antenna to the bulkhead. Once the mounting is complete, the node should
look as follows.

Node Setup
1.Connect the node antenna to the antenna bulkhead. 2. Connect the sensorwires to the node
while ensuring that the wires are plugged in correctly.
RS232 Port
PWR : Positive power input (e.g.+12V)
GND : Negative power input of sensor
TX : Transmit out (TX) output of sensor
RX : Receive input (RX) of sensor
SHLD : Shield wire of sensor
RS485 Port
PWR : Positive power input (e.g.+12V)
GND : Negative power input of sensor
SHLD: Shield wire of sensor
(a) Full Duplex Mode
A : A line of sensor chain
B : B line of sensor chain
(b) Half Duplex Mode
A+/Y : A+ line of sensor chain
B+/Y : B- line of sensor chain
SDI Port
PWR : Positive power input (e.g.+12V)
GND : Negative power input of sensor
SIG1 : SDI line of sensor chain
SIG2 : Switch type sensor output
SHLD: Shield wire of sensor
3. Switch off the Node and insert the battery while ensuring the polarity is followed correctly.

Configuring via the Ackcio Beam App
1.Download Ackcio Beam app at Google Playstore and connect to Gateway WiFi.

2. Plug in the USB end of the cable via an OTG adapter to your Android phone.

3. Important! Please make sure the Node is switch off before connecting to your Android
phone. 4. Plugin micro USB end to the Node.
5. Switch on the Node.

6. Open the Ackcio Beam app on the phone. On toggle button, "Cloud" option is for Ackcio
Online Live version. "Gateway" option is for Offline version. Please choose "Gateway" to
proceed with offline version. (Please note that you need to add the Node and create the
project first before you commission the node. Please refer to Gateway Setup for details.)
"Gateway" option to connect to Offline Gateway
(i) You will see the project which you have already created once you open your Ackcio app.
Click the button to download the project and go in to the project, you will see the project
details.

(ii) Press "Reset" button on the Node itself. Then click on “Setup Device” on the lower left
menu on Ackcio app, the app will show connected node information. If the connection is
unsuccessful, press "Reset" button on Node and connect again.

(iii) <Optional Step> If Wireless Mesh (Relay) function is to be deployed, click on "Wireless
Mesh" toggle button to enable. Once done, click on “Setup Sensor”, you can now configure
the sensor settings.

(iv) You will see this page with the + sign button at the lower right area. Click that to
configure the sensor.

(v) You can input your sensor information. Sensor Code: Your desired sensor name. Sensor
Address: Serial number of the sensor. Sensor Type: Select respective sensor type.
Parameters: Turn on the parameters as connected to the Node.

(vi) Click Save Sensor. The Node will now read the sensor that was just configured.
(vii) On next page, you will see the first reading.

(viii) To get another reading, click on the arrow icon. Click on + icon to add more sensors.

(ix) Once all sensors are configured, click on “Enable Sensor” button.

(x) It will then take you to next page “Scanning Network” which will scan the wireless signal
strength (RSSI) between the Node and Gateway.

(xi) After you get the Network Test information, if you need to, you can perform another
network test by pressing the button located at the lower right corner.

(xii) After that, click “Start Monitoring” button then the app will prompt “Device
commissioned”. Click OK.
