System survey
Principle
Gateway types AKA 241, AKA 243 and AKA 244 are system components to be used in conjunction with
controllers in the ADAP-KOOL® series of controls for refrigerating systems.
When the gateway is used it is possible to build complex control systems with alarm monitoring and
data logging into decentralised refrigerating plant.
All controllers in the AKC series are linked up in a two-core data communication system that is
registered under the name DANBUSS Data Communication System.
A Gateway is the control unit used when the data communication system has to be connected to a PC,
a printer, a TCP/IP server or a modem.
Example
Operation of gateway and the controllers in ADAP-KOOL®
refrigerating systems is performed with control panel type AKA 21
or with system software type AKM (installed on PC).
The control panel is connected to the two-core data
communication cable at any random point. After that, all settings
and adjustments pertaining to the day-to-day operation of the
system can be made.
Cold rooms and refrigeration appliances are regulated by AKC 72A
and AKC 114-116.
A gateway type AKA 244 is attached to the data communication
system and connected to a modem or printer.
If a PC is to be used in the actual system, one more gateway will
have to be connected. This gateway may also be an AKA 244, but
if the gateway is required for simple operation of the system, the
smaller type AKA 241 may be employed.
The printer can make printouts of all alarm reports registered on
the refrigeration system by the AKC controllers.
If the alarms are to be transferred to the security centre or to the
refrigeration company’s PC or printer, it must take place via the
modem connection.
Log data can be collected from all connected controllers. This data
may then be picked up by a PC and displayed.
Log data can also be stored as documentation for correct temperature behaviour (demands to temperature registration on the part
of the authorities).
The same functions can be carried out with gateway type AKA 243, but here it is also possible to communicate with other controllers via the LonWorks output. The output will primarily be connected to
controllers from the EKC 200, 300, 400, 500 or AK 2 series.

When mounted, AKA 21 is connected for setting of address, etc.
DANBUSS
Here there is a DANBUSS connection from one of the other units in the system.
The input is galvanically separated from the remaining circuits.
On an AKA 243 the DANBUSS address must be set between 61 and 125.
On an AKA 244 the address may be from 1 to 125.
LON (AKA 243 only)
Here the data communication is connected to controllers with a LONWORKS® - FTT10 or RS 485 interface (eg EKC 200, 300, 400, 500 or AK 2 controllers). The connection is described in a separate document bearing literature number RC.8A.C.
On this input the connected EKC controllers must have addresses from 1 to 60 and AK 2 controller
1-10.
RS 232 / PC / TCP/IP
Used for connection of a PC, a modem or a TCP/IP server. Only one of these can be connected. Which
one can be defined with a setting in the gateway.
Printer
A printer is connected here.
Only printers with parallel interface can be used.
The two relay outputs DO1 and DO2 and the two inputs DI1 and DI2 have in this manual been described
with the most frequently used function. If you wish to use an input or an output differently, it must be given
a new configuration. For this purpose system software type AKM must be used. Cf. the AKM manual.
Relay outputs (D01, D02)
AKA 243/244 is provided with two relay outputs (SPDT).
The DO1 output is used with modem connection or TCP/IP connection. Via the relay output,
supply voltage is connected to the modem or TCP/IP connection. The DO2 output can be used for
transmitting a joint alarm signal to external equipment. (DO2 is activated for two minutes when the
alarm handler in the master gateway (address 125) receives an alarm message of status 1 from a
controller).

When you use the alarm routing function it is possible to select D02 active or inactive within specified
periods of time (cf. section “AKA Alarm Table”).
On/off inputs (DI1, DI2)
AKA 243/244 is provided with two on/off inputs.
Input DI1 is used for the printer’s paper function. DI1 is connected to a contact function which is
operated when the paper has been placed in the printer. (Top of form setting).
The DI2 input is used for manual change-over between “default” and “optional” alarm destinations in
connection with the extended alarm routing in AKA 243/244 (cf. section “AKA Alarm Table”).
Light-emitting diodes
- For each communication gate (RS 232/DANBUSS) there are two light-emitting diodes (LED), one
for sending and one for receiving. The diodes are lit, when there is communication to or from the
gateway.
- The status of the ON/OFF inputs and relay-outputs are also indicated with light-emitting diodes.
- There is an LED for power ON
- AKA 243 also has a LED for LON-communication

Functions of the four
gateway types
The gateway is available in four versions where the ordinary version contains all functions whereas the
simpler version only contains the few functions required for it to be the connecting link between a PC
and a network of controllers from the ADAP-KOOL® range of refrigeration controls. The ordinary gateway can be set for connection with either a PC, a modem or an TCP/IP server.
The third and fourth version has furthermore been provided with LON data communication.

transmission cable:
The wire switches are kept
closed (BUS TERM “ON”)
2) The gateway retransmits the
signal:
The wire switches are opened
(BUS TERM "OFF").

DI1, DI2, DO1 and DO2
The two relay outputs DO1 and DO2 and the two inputs DI1 and DI2 have in this manual been described
with the most frequentlky used function. If you wish to use an input or an output differently, it must be given
a new configuration. For this purpose system software type AKM must be used. Cf. the AKM manual.
Warning! DO1 and DO2 must not be connected to low voltage on one output and high voltage on the other.
Both outputs must have the same voltage level.
Printer
The printer port of AKA 243/244 has been designed as a parallel printer port. An ordinary parallel
printer cable is used for the connection.
An EPSON compatible matrix printer can be connected.
The on/off input DI1 is connected to a pushbutton switch (pulse pressure with spring return).
When you push the switch, a signal is sent to AKA 243/244 that the printer is ready and that the paper
is correctly placed.

Manual change-over of
alarm routing
ON AKA 243/244 you may change manually between two different alarm routes. The DI2 ON/OFF
input can be connected to a contact function. When the DI2 input is cut in, the alarms will be sent via
route 2 (optional destinations). (Cf. section “AKA Alarm Table”).
Alarm relay
On AKA 243/244 the DO2 output may be used for connecting an alarm function. There is connection
between terminals 13 and 14 when the gateway is energised and there is no alarm. This connection is
interrupted for two minutes when a status 1 alarm is received from a controller, or if the supply voltage
to the gateway fails.
Battery
The gateway is provided with battery backup securing the settings and log collections.
3V
CR2032
When the battery needs to be replaced in a AKA 243 or 244, an alarm message is sent.
When a battery is replaced, make sure that the supply voltage is not removed from the gateway. If the battery and supply voltage are both removed at the same time, the clock setup, log setup, collected log data,
master control setups and possibly EKC installation data will all be lost.

On AKA 241 a PC can be connected to the RS232 plug.
On AKA 243/244 a PC, a modem or a TCP/IP server can be connected to the RS232 plug. A setting in
the gateway determines the application.
Warning!
In order not to destroy the output on the PC, the modem or the server the following precautions must be
taken:
- Establish the correct earth connection on AKA 243/244.
- Interrupt the supply voltage to the gateway and to the PC / the Modem / the server, when the cable is
mounted and dismounted.
PC to gateway
Check whether the PC has a 9-pole or a 25-pole plug for this connection. A 3 m cable with plugs fitted
can be supplied. See Ordering. If the cable has to be longer than 3 m, mount it based on the following
instructions:
(Only handshake signals DTR and CTS can be used)
The PC can stop the communication from AKA 243/244.
AKA 243/244 cannot stop communication from the PC.
The connection is made with a screened cable, wire diameter = 0.25 mm.
The screen is only connected to the plug at one end.
The length of the cable must not exceed 15 m.

Functional description
All functions are present in an AKA 243/244, but in an AKA 241 there is only a plant list and a clock function.
DANBUSS information
The gateway that has been assigned the master function in a network automatically establishes a
table (plant list) containing the addresses of all connected units.
The gateway then picks up data from all these addresses (also its own) for this table. The obtained data
are the unit’s code number and software version.
For each address a user-defined text may now be added, logical name (ID code) or text describing the
function of the controller at the address in question.
This text can only be entered in the table by using the PC and system software type AKM (text may
contain max. 16 characters).
The master gateway may for example give a system name, and the other units a name for what they
are used for.
The entered text can now be displayed via system software type AKM or on control panel type AKA 21:
AKM:
The text is used in many menu surveys in the programme. The text bears the designation
“ID code”.
AKA 21:
“DANBUSS information” can be read in the control panel’s display, as follows:
- select master gateway (address = 125).
- push key “F2” on AKA 21. The text DANBUSS-information will then appear. Now select
the individual addresses and read the text, code number and software version for each
controller.
The text will also appear in an alarm message on the printer, e.g.:
Transmitter 5:125
System-address: 5:1

Communication control
This function will ensure that there is correct communication between the connected units on
DANBUSS®. There will be constant scanning of all units on DANBUSS. If there are any changes on
DANBUSS (a unit drops out due to power failure, or a new unit suddenly appears on the network), the
function will discover it and issue an “Communication error (DANBUSS)” or “Communication OK
(DANBUSS)”.
New units are found within five minutes. Units that drop out will be found within two minutes (shortterm drop-outs will not be discovered).
In the LON communication in an AKA 243 an alarm will also appear if one of the connected controllers drops out. (A new controller in the network will only be registered when the required function is
activated in the new controller (service pin message).
Alarm delay: A time delay can be set by means of system software type AKM. An alarm will follow when
two minutes plus the time delay have elapsed, at the latest.
The control function only applies to the gateway that has been assigned the master function (address
125).
Clock function
The master gateway has a built-in clock function which is used for the following:
- time stamping of alarms (not AKA 241)
- synchronising the clocks in all connected AKC controllers and slave gateways
- change-over between summer/winter settings
The function is only active in the gateway that has been assigned the master function (address
125) in a network. Only AKC controllers in the same network as the gateway will have their clocks
synchronised. The clocks are synchronised after each start-up of the gateway, and after that at
least once a day. If an AKC has been without power for more than two minutes, the clock will be
synchronised when the AKC is again registered on DANBUSS.
Automatic setup of
AKC alarm function
To set this function, use system software type AKM:
a) If you select “Auto setup” = “Enable”, the master gateway will set the following values in all connected AKC controllers on the network:
- Fill in “System address” with the network’s own number and the AKC controller’s own number.
- Fill in “Alarm report to” with the master gateway’s own system address.
All AKC alarms will now be transmitted to the master gateway.
b) If you select “Auto setup” = “No setup” (the factory setting in AKA 243/244), the master gateway will
not change the setting in the AKC controllers. Changes can only be made on each individual AKC
controller.
If a new AKC unit is added to the network, the gateway will register it. Depending on whether “Auto
setup” is set in pos. “Enable” or “No setup”, the unit’s two menus will either be set or remain unchanged.
In EKC controllers and AK 2 controllers a systems address is automatically set in the gateway for the
controller in question. The address cannot be read in the controller.
c) If “Auto setup” = “Disable” is selected, the master gateway will cancel the alarm transmission in all
AKC and AK 2 controllers on the network. The procedure is, as follows: the gateway will itself set
“System address” to 000:000 in AK 100 and 20 and AK 2 controllers, and “Alarm report to” to 000:000
in all AKC and AK 2 controllers. With these settings, the controllers cannot send alarms to the
master gateway.
EKC controllers are not affected, but the gateway will stop the function asking for alarms in each
controller.
Alarm handling
The AKA 243/244 defined as master gateway in a network will register all alarms that occur in this
network. The alarms are entered on a list (alarm list) where they will be ready for further processing.
The first thing that happens is that a acknowledge (transport receipt) will be transmitted to the
controller that triggered the alarm (AKC controller/AK 2 controller). The controller will now know
that the alarm has been received and registered (if it did not receive this accept, the controller would
repeat the alarm message five minutes later). The second thing that happens is that the alarm is timestamped and ID codes (net ID and bus ID) must be entered, if applicable.
The third, that the alarm will be passed on to the defined alarm receiver(s).

AKA 241, AKA 243, AKA 244
Alarms from EKC controllers will also be registered by AKA 243, but if the data connection between the
EKC controllers and the gateway is interrupted, only an active alarm, if any, will be present when the
connection is reestablished. In other words, all alarms occurring during the period without data communication will not be registered.
Alarm receipt
Alarms can be received in four ways:
1) The alarm is not passed on(factory setting).
The alarm is entered on the alarm list, but is not processed. The DO2 alarm relay will however be
activated for two minutes on receiving a “status 1” alarm from a controller. The alarm list can be
displayed via control panel type AKA 21 or via system software type AKM.
The alarm list can contain max. 250 alarm messages (the oldest ones are deleted).
System software type AKM is used for setting this function. In the alarm receipt menu for the
gateway in question, put “AKA Alarm Report To” in pos. “None”.
2) Alarm is passed on to the printer connected to the printer output.
The alarm is entered on the alarm list, but is also transmitted to the printer.
DO2 is activated for two minutes when a “status 1” alarm is received from a controller.
With the factory setting, the receiver of the alarm is the master gateway’s own system address.
(When system software type AKM is used, this system address will as regards function be identical
with setting 000:000).
3) Alarm is passed on in the system.
The alarm is transmitted to another master gateway in another network, or to the address of system
software type AKM.
DO2 is activated for two minutes when a “status 1” alarm is received from a controller.
Use system software type AKM for setting this function. In the alarm receipt menu for the gateway
in question, put “AKA Alarm Report To” to “System address”, and define the system address.
4) AKA alarm routing
The alarm is transmitted to the receivers defined in the alarm table. This function may for instance
be used when the gateway is mounted in a network, where a PC with AKM has not been connected.
Cf. the section “AKA Alarm Table”. (System software type AKM is used for setting this function).
Ad 2), 3) and 4):
It is a requirement that a recipient (also copy receivers) is always able to receive the message. If the
message cannot be delivered, the gateway will lock the relevant alarm line, so that the alarm can
be transmitted at a later time. If the gateway receives further alarms, they will be entered as new
alarms. If the alarm in question is then numbered “249”, no new alarms can be entered on the alarm
list. This will produce the system alarm “Alarm list overflow”.
In case of “Alarm list overflow” alarm relay DO2 will be activated every fifth minute, until the alarms
can again be transmitted to the alarm receiver.
Example of alarm list overflow:
In the master gateway, the alarm receiver “AKA send alarm to” has been set to “System address”, but
no printer has been connected, or it has been turned off :
In this situation it will be able to receive the first 249 alarms, and after that it will try every fifth
minute to retransmit the oldest alarm to the printer. Alarm No. 250 will trigger the system alarm
“Alarm list overflow”, and from now on no more alarms can be received. If there should be more
alarms from the controllers, these alarms will be retransmitted every fifth minute, and these
retransmissions will gradually hamper the communication in DANBUSS so much that the data
transmission is blocked. If more alarms should occur in an AKC controller than it can hold (20), these
new alarms will not be registered.
If the printer is connected at this point, it will make a printout of all alarms, and the master gateway
will again be able to receive alarms.
In this example, the selected setting “AKA send alarm to” should be “none”, rather than “System
address”.

successful.

Alarm list in AKA 243/244
The alarm list can be displayed from system software type AKM or from control panel type AKA 21.
From AKM: via the “History" - "AKA Alarm List” menu.
From AKA 21, as follows:
- select the master gateway (address = 125)
- push key “F1” on AKA 21. The text ALARM LIST will then appear.
- now select the individual alarm numbers and display the text for each of them.
Alarm status
The individual messages on the alarm list will contain information about the status of the alarm.
Each alarm is defined with a degree of importance in the individual controllers. When an alarm is dealt
with, it will be assigned an actual status.
A sensor error, for example, will generate two independent alarm messages. One when the error arises
(status = 1), and another when the error is corrected (status = 0).
16
Status:
0 Alarm cancelled (error corrected)
1 Alarm is active. The alarm is sent out on DANBUSS and the master gateway’s alarm relay is
at the same time operated for two minutes (important alarm)
2 Alarm is active. The alarm is only sent out on DANBUSS, as a not so important alarm (a message).
3 As "1", but the alarm relay on the master gateway will not be activated.

AKA Alarm Table
(alarm routing)
This function can retransmit received alarms to different alarm receivers via the DANBUSS data communication system.
The alarm routing can only be defined in the gateway that has been assigned the master function (address 125).
Alarm routing takes place on the basis of an alarm table where two different groups of receivers can
be set.
1) Default destinations, route 1, which is the normal receiver group.
2) Optional destinations, route 2. This is the route you use if one of the following conditions is met:
- Contact function DI2 is cut in (manual change-over)
- The time lies within the defined time limits (time-based change-over)
The table can contain ten lines, and each line shows an interval (a start and stop time with
indication of day of the week, hour and minutes).
A line in the table cannot overlap a change of week. Where Sunday changes to Monday, two lines
have to be used in the time table.
Four receivers can be defined for each route, as follows:
- Primary:
Alarms are sent to this receiver, if a system address has been defined.
- Alternative:
Alarms may be sent to this receiver, if a system address has been defined. The alarm will
however only be sent to this receiver, if the primary receiver has not been able to receive the
alarm.
- Copy:
“Alarms” may be sent to this receiver, if a system address has been defined. An alarm will not be
sent to this receiver until the primary or alternative receiver has received it, and acknowledged
receipt of it.
- DO:
The DO2 relay output of the defined master gateway is activated for two minutes if the function
is selected. The activation of DO2 is independent of the settings made for primary, alternative
and copy receivers, irrespective of whether alarms are to be retransmitted at all. (DO2 is only
activated for status 1 alarms).
The alarm table has to be set by means of system software type AKM. Please note that AKM is also
capable of routing alarms. It is recommended that only one of the two options be used on the same
system.
(When AKA 243/244 is delivered ex stock, the alarm table is not active).

Printer function
Alarm printout
The master gateway (adr. 125) contains a function that can receive alarm reports from controllers,
reformat the messages and print them on a connected printer, type Epson compatible matrix printer.
For this function to be used, the controllers must be set to transmit its alarms to a gateway with
connected printer. Cf. section: “Automatic setup of AKC alarm functions”, page 14.
The alarm printout function supports AKC controllers in series AK 20 and AK 100. As well as EKC
controllers in the 200, 300,400, 500 and AK 2 series.
Example of alarm printout from an AKC controller:
Transmitter 5:125
System-address: 5:1
LONDON_SOUTH_03 MILK
Received: 2000-08-17 14:06:47
Status: 0
Communication OK (DANBUSS)
Alarm printout from PC
A printer connected to AKA 243/244 can print an alarm report from a PC connected to DANBUSS.
To use this function, a datagram of a special format has to be transmitted to the gateway. This means
that it is in practice the application software in the PC and the internal software in the gateway that
use this facility.
If the alarm is routed from the AKM alarm table directly to the gateway printer, custom texts, if any, will
be included in the print. If the alarm is however routed to “AKA Alarm receiver” the custom texts will not
appear, but the alarm relay - DO2 - will be activated for two minutes.
Printer alarm
The printer function can send an alarm message to a connected PC, if errors arise on the connected
printer. Alarms will be sent to the master gateway on its own network. This will however not happen if
the printer is connected to a ”slave gateway”.
If no printer has been connected to a gateway, this will also produce an alarm message at the
gateway’s first start-up.
Control panel type AKA 21 cannot control a printout function.
Certain texts in connection with printout of alarms etc. can be set from the AKM programme.

Data collection in the master
gateway
Data collection can take place in the gateway, defined to be the system’s master.
In connection with definition, start, stop and display of a data collection (logs), a switch will be
required for the PC. During the remaining time the gateway will take care of its own collection of data.
Data may thus be collected in a system which is not directly connected to a PC. The collected data may
subsequently be transmitted to a PC from time to time, so that it can be displayed. The transmission
can, for example, be accomplished via a telephone connection.
Two different log types can be established in the master gateway:
1) Food Safety logs (logs required by the authorities) and
2) AKA Service logs.
The difference between these log types is mainly the intervals at which data can be logged, and hence
the duration of the period of time the memory is able to accommodate.
Limitations:
- Max. 170 logs can be set up in a master gateway (120 Food Safety logs and 50 AKA Service logs).
- Each log will represent one controller
- Each log can max. contain 13 parameters.
- The time interval for Food Safety logs is between 15 minutes and 24 hours.
- The time interval for AKA Service logs is between 1 minute and 4 hours.
- The master gateway can totally contain about 60,000 data collections.
Examples of log capacities for different sizes of systems are shown in Appendix C.
The log function will continuously collect and store data from the controllers connected to the
network for which the gateway in question is the master.
Definition, start, stop and display of a data collection (logs) must be carried out with system software
type AKM.
All logs in the master gateway are “rolling” (temporary) logs, in other words, the data will be
overwritten, if they have not been collected during the set period of time (deadline).
The log setup will be deleted and all collected data lost, if the system address of a master
gateway is changed.
If logs are deleted (one log or all of them), without the logged data having been stored, such data will
be lost. There will be no alarm when such deletion takes place.
When a log is started, data collection will not necessarily take place immediately, as all readings of
data will be carried out at set times after the log interval.
This means, for example, that for logs with 15-minute intervals the data will be read at times that are
multiples of the 15 minute-period, i.e. when the minute hand points to 0, 15, 30 and 45. Similarly, a log
with an interval of two hours will be read every other even hour, i.e. at 0am, 2am, 4am, 6am etc., up to
and including 10pm. And a log with an interval of six hours, at 0, 6, 12, 18. These fixed logging intervals
cannot be changed.
If a log has been stopped for a while, and is then restarted, some data will be missing for the period
that was skipped.
The master gateway constantly controls all log setups via a simple check-sum calculation. If there is an
error, the log in question will be deleted. An alarm will now be given with information about the log
number.

Modem connection
AKA 243/244 can act as connecting link between DANBUSS and a modem.
(DANFOSS can provide information about other modem types that can be used with the gateway)
By connecting the supply to the modem via a relay switch (DO 1) on the gateway, the gateway will
be able to reset the modem. At the same time the modem will be switched on, when the gateway is
switched on. This ensures that the modem start will always be controlled.
Read the section “Connections”.
It is possible for the gateway to use commands for controlling the connected modem. These
commands are in the form of an initialisation string transmitted to the modem when it is switched on.
From the factory a modem gateway contains the following AT command string:
AT Z < CR > AT E1 SO = 2 &D2 V1
The command has the following meaning:
AT
Z
E1
V1
&D2
S0=2
Attention sequence
Reset modem to power-up status
Echo on
Verbose result codes(e.g.”CONNECT 1200" instead of “4”).
HW mode for on hook via DTR
Auto answer ON, answer after 2 rings
The initialisation command string can be changed by means of system software type AKM.
E0, V0, S0=0, S0=0, &D0, &D1 and &D3 must not be contained in the command string.
For further information about these commands, please refer to your modem manual.
A number of modem codes can be keyed in together with a telephone number.
These modem codes attach to a specific telephone number and are sent on to the modem together
with the telephone number.
The following codes can be keyed and attached to a telephone number in the router table:
P:
T:
W:
,:
%n:
*:
#:
Pulse dialling. Used in old telephone exchanges and private switching systems.
Tone dialling. Used in new telephone exchanges.
Wait for ringback tone (dial tone)
2-second pause
Modifies the calling speed for this particular call
Special character for private switching system
Special character for private switching system
For further information about these commands and codes, see the modem manual.
Call-back function
The function can be used for service and transmission of log data via the telephone network.
The call-back function is selected from the AKM programme and is essential for all systems from which
service or log data are collected.
The function sees to it that the gateway will return the call to the AKM programme, and hence pay for
the transmission time.
Procedure
The AKM programme calls the master gateway and starts the call-back function. The master gateway
then checks if the AKM programme’s system address is found in the router table.
15 seconds later the master gateway establishes a telephone connection to the AKM programme. If
the connection is not established at the first try, two more attempts will be made at 5-minute intervals.
When the master gateway has established the telephone connection the AKM programme will take
over.
An automatic log transmission is carried out in this way:
Based on the individual log definitions, the AKM programme knows how often it has to collect data
from a system. The AKM programme starts the procedure, and when the connection has been established, the collection will commence.
If the master gateway does not manage to establish a telephone connection, the AKM programme will
call the master gateway again, and collection will then be started immediately.
TCP/IP server connection
If data communication is to take place via a LAN network (TCP/IP) the gateway can be connected to a
server.
Principle, connection and settings are described in the installation instructions for AKM. Literature No.

AKA override function
AKA 243/244 contains a function capable of reading values from a given function in a given controller
on Data communication. The gateway will treat the information and then set the values in other selected controllers in the system. Each individual controller will subsequently carry out the given function.
You can max. download data from 100 controllers. Otherwise the data communication will be overloaded. The functions are also described in the document ”Overriding, RI8AL-”.
At the moment the following functions can be arranged:
AKC ON signal
This function is used for stopping the regulation (closing the valve) in all controllers regulating a refrigeration appliance when all belonging compressors are stopped.
Example: When the compressor is stopped, the compressor control sends a signal via data communication. The master gateway subsequently sends this signal on to the defined controllers which will then
close the valve.
Displacement of alarm limit
This function is used for raising the alarm limit during a period where the compressor control is unable
to cut in more capacity.
Example: On an extremely hot summer day where the outdoor temperature exceeds a set value, the
control will generate an offset signal that will depend on a signal from a room sensor. The offset signal
will then be retransmitted to the defined controllers which will raise the limit of the high-temperature
alarm.
Defrost control
The function can transmit signal concerning defrost start to the different refrigeration points.
All defined controllers will follow the signal. When defrost has started it is up to the individual controllers how it is to be stopped again. Some are based on time, others on temperature. The defrost is started
by a week-based one-year clock in the gateway.

Day/night function
The function can send signals about night operation to the different refrigeration points. All the defined controllers will follow the signal. The signal is generated by a week-based one-year clock in the
gateway or from a digital signal on a controller.
PO optimisation
The function adapts the refrigeration system’s suction pressure so that it will not become so low that
the most heavily loaded refrigeration appliance is unable to maintain the required temperature.
The procedure is that the gateway constantly makes enquiries with the selected refrigeration
appliances following which it transmits signals to the compressor control.

Operation
Principle
On AKA 243/244 there are no buttons. The unit is exclusively operated via control panel type AKA 21 or
system software type AKM.
Operation via AKA 21
Operation from AKA 21 takes place via a menu system coded into the gateway.
The gateway menu structure has been “lowered” in relation to the menu structure of the AKC
controllers. Change between menus takes place by means of the control module’s arrow keys.
Display
The display in AKA 21 has two lines with 16 characters each.
Function
The field describes the available menu.
Value/setting
The field shows the current value.
Min and Max
The field indicates the possible min. and max. values
of the setting.
New
In this field a new value is selected. The field will be
empty when there is a parameter that cannot be set.
F1
Used for displaying the “alarm list” found in the master gateway (address
125).*).
F2
Used for displaying the “NETWORK INFORMATION” (system table) found in the master gateway
(address 125).*)
Clear
Return to the gateway's access menu.
Arrow keys
Used for moving about in the gateway’s programme (menus).
Digit
Used for selecting the digit that has to be changed.
+/On , -/Off
Used for selecting a new value. It will either be a figure or a changeover between on/off functions.
Enter
Used for confirming new settings. If a changed display is left without “Enter” having been pushed, the
new value will not be stored.

Operation via system
software type AKM
If a PC with system software type AKM is connected to the system, it will be possible to:
- perform all settings from the PC
- receive alarms on the PC
- connect a printer to the PC where printouts will be made of all alarms
Access limitation
AKA 241, 243 and 244 are protected against inadvertent settings and changes of parameters from AKA
21. This is done by means of access limitation distributed on three levels:
1) Normal
2) Extended
3) Service
“Daily user level”
“Engineers level”
“Service level”
The level limits can be changed in the unit (see section “Settings”).
Password function
When the gateway is used in conjunction with system software type AKM, a password function may be
used. This function will block settings when the system is operated via the telephone network and the
password is not known.
For the sake of users of AKM it is however permitted to read and set a few functions. However, access
will not be given to important functions like router lines, upload functions and ID-codes.
The password function must be initiated with system software type AKM.
Printer function
On AKA 243/244 there is one way only of operating the printer function.
By activating input DI 1, the gateways internal line counter is zero-set. In this way it is possible to keep
a check on the printer paper perforation.
DI 1 is activated when the printer is switched on, and the printing head is placed in start position on
the first writing line (top of form).
Re setup, installation, insertion of paper in the printer etc., reference is made to the printer’s own
manual.

The individual setups are explained on the following pages.
At the end of the manual there is a complete menu survey.
When initial startups are made on systems with two or more gateway's on the same network, special
precautions have to be taken.
If a network with several identical addresses is started, the DANBUSS system will not function.
All gateways are factory-set with address 125. (0:125).
The initial start-up must be carried out in one of the following two ways:
1) Set all addresses before the gateway is placed in the network. (AKA 21 is used)
2) Connect only supply voltage to one gateway at a time, assigning the master status to the last unit to
be connected (master address = 125). (AKA 21 is used).
Note 2
When changes are made in the unit setup, they are stored in the unit’s memory. Activate the “Boot
Gateway” display (AKA 21 must not be operated again, until the gateway has finished its
initialisation and scanning functions in the connected DANBUSS network, which takes approx. 30
seconds). After that, the new settings will be active.
Note 3
If the gateway type has to be changed (PC/Modem/TCP/IP) it can only be done with the battery
mounted.

unit’s memory. Activate the “Boot Gateway” function. Now Wait about 30 seconds. The new settings
will now be active.
Modem and TCP/IP
“Lifetime”
This is the period during which a gateway
maintains a connection after a datagram has
been transmitted via the line.
Selection of this parameter is based on the
point of view that there should be time for
the answer datagram to be returned during
the same connection. The time is set in
seconds (e.g. 10 sec.).
“RS 232 Port speed”
Display of communication speed, and access to settings.
"Changed speed"
The required communication speed is set here.

Appendix A
Routing
This section contains a more detailed description of the router setting on page 28.
General
The DANBUSS system is a so-called compact coupled network. This means that information is
transmitted through the system as single messages, also referred to as datagrams. To ensure that the
datagrams reach the correct receivers in systems with many connected units, the transmitter must
enter the receiver’s address in the datagram. It is now up to the router in the DANBUSS system to
direct the datagram to the correct receiver.
To enable the router to distinguish between the individual units connected to the DANBUSS system,
each unit must be given a DANBUSS system address.
This system address is written in the “Network:Address” mode, where “Network” is the network number
and “Address” the address of the unit in question.
“Network” can assume values in the range 0-255.
“Address” can assume values in the range 1-125.
It is important that all units on the same network have the same network number.
Example:
The example shows a system consisting of two networks.
1) PC connected to AKA 244
2) AKA 244 and AKC controller
1:1 means network number 1 with address 1.
2:115 means network number 2 with address 115.
The example shows 1:1 sending a datagram addressed to 2:115.
The datagram is delivered to DANBUSS who will now be responsible for the transmission.
Routertable
To ensure that datagrams are sent to the correct receiver, the system must contain information
about the composition of the DANBUSS network (the network may consist of several interconnected
networks). Information about the composition of the DANBUSS network must be entered in the socalled router tables.
There must in principle be router tables in all units that are connected to
DANBUSS. Certain units, like AKC controllers, can however do without them.
To enable communication in systems with several networks, there must be at least one router table in
each network. The gateway enables you to set up one or more router tables.

Appendix A - continued
A router table may have a varying number of lines. In the example shown below there is one line.
The table always consists of four fields when operation takes place with AKA 21:
“Lower Limit”, “Upper Limit”, “Port No.”, and “Address”.
1
Lower limit
2
3
4
Upper limit
Port No.
Address/
Telephone no/
IP Address
1
2
1
In principle the fields indicate the following:
Fields 1 and 2: a group of units capable of receiving / sending a message.
Field 3: the direction in which the message is to be sent.
Field 4: indicates the unit which is the next receiver of the message. From this position the following
may happen:
1) The message is sent on to another network (in which case a new router has to be
established with a new port and a new address).
2) The message is sent to a PC on the RS 232 output.
Below follows a more detailed description of the fields.
Field 1 + 2: “Lower Limit”, “Upper Limit”
These are network no. which together indicate an interval range between a lower and an
upper network limit.
Field no. 3: “Port No”.
There are two ports through which datagrams can be directed. “Port No.” indicates the
direction in which the datagram has to be transmitted.
Port 1:
Access to units connected to DANBUSS
Port 2:
Access to either a PC, a modem or a TCP/IP server.
Field 4: “Address”
The contents depend on what was specified in the field “Port No.” :
If “Port No.” = 1 (DANBUSS):
An address is indicated for the next receiver of the datagram. This may either be the
final receiver for whom the datagram was intended, or it may be the address of another
AKA 244, say, a modem gateway that has to re-transmit the datagram.
If “Port No.” = 2 (RS 232):
At connection to a PC no address has to be entered, as only one PC can be connected.
In operation via the control panel the menu system will automatically detect this, and it
will not be possible to key an address.
On modem gateway or TCP/IP server you key the telephone number (in the field “Address”) that is to be called or the actual IP address.

Function
When an AKA 243/244 receives a datagram that has to be re-transmitted to an AKC controller, for
example, the gateway checks its router table to see where this AKC is placed. It is either placed in
the same network as the gateway, or it is placed in another network. In the former case, the gateway
can send the datagram directly to the final receiver. In the latter case, the gateway must send the
datagram to another AKA 243/244 which will then re-transmit the datagram.
The access key to the router table is the system address (Network : Address) of the receiver of the
datagram.
Example 1.
A system consists of a PC on network 1, and two AKC controllers on network 2.
The AKC’s are addressed with 2:1 and 2:2, respectively.
The PC is addressed with 1:1.
AKA 244 is addressed with 2:125 (and this makes it the DANBUSS Master).
AKA 244
The PC wants to send a message to the AKC with system address 2:1.
The datagram is first sent to AKA 244 who checks its router table to see where the datagram has to be
routed.
As the controller is on the same network as the master gateway, it will transmit directly to the controller (a router line will not be required).
The router lines shown are needed to allow messages to be sent from the AKC controllers to the PC.
Example 2.
A system consists of a PC in network No. 1, a PC gateway, two AKC controllers and a modem gateway
in network No. 2.
Network 5 consists of one more modem gateway as well as two AKC controllers.
The AKC controllers are addressed with 2:1, 2:2, 5:1 and 5:2, respectively.
The PC gateway is addressed with 2:120.
The two modem gateways are addressed with 2:125 and 5:125. So in both networks it is the modem
gateway which is the Master.
The PC is addressed with 1:1.

Appendix A - continued
The PC will now send a message to the AKC unit which is addressed 5:2.
The datagram is first sent to the PC gateway which checks in its router table to see where the
datagram has to go.
In checking the router table the PC gateway will look for the line in the table where the receiver’s
network are contained. This requirement has been fulfilled by line 2, as it indicates the network No. 5.
After the “Port No.” field has been read, the datagram is directed out of gate 1 which is DANBUSS.
After furthermore having read the “Address” field, it will be seen that the datagram is to be sent to
address 125 which in this case is a modem gateway.
The modem gateway receives the datagram and checks its router table. Line 2 here indicates the
network 5. By reading the “Port No.” field, the datagram is directed out of gate 2 which is the modem.
By furthermore reading the “Address” field it will be seen that a telephone number will have to be
called.
Modem gateway (2:125) transmits the datagram to modem gateway (5:125) in the other network. This
will now check its router table and find that it is on its own network. The datagram is now transmitted
straight to the AKC controller for which it was intended.
For answers use the router lines again. But now from the other side.
The router tables need not be changed, until a new network has to be included.
When a gateway checks its router table, it will always look from line 1 and downward. The first line
containing a usable network for a given receiver system address will be used. Subsequent lines that
may contain the same receiver system address will not be detected.
As router tables in several gateways have to co-operate on the conveyance of messages in a DANBUSS
system, there must be care taken in the setup of these. Errors resulting in datagrams not reaching the
correct receivers will not trigger an alarm.
Make sure that you have an easily legible list of addresses and network numbers on all relevant
gateways and PC’s before establishment of router lines is commenced!
Don’t forget that messages are also returned in the system.!

Repeat routines for alarm handling
Depending on who has been selected to receive alarms, AKA 243/244 will have the following repeat
routines if it cannot get in touch with the receivers:
Setting of “AKA send alarm to”:
“System address NNN:AAA”
If an alarm message cannot be delivered within five minutes, it will be retransmitted every fifth minute
until it can be delivered.
If more alarms are received before the oldest alarm is delivered, nothing is done about it. Alarm No.
250 will trigger the system alarm “Alarm list overflow”, and the gateway can then receive no more
alarms from the controllers. Alarm relay DO2 will now be activated every fifth minute (each time the
oldest alarm is retransmitted).
When an alarm has been delivered, it will become history in the alarm list, and the next one will now
be the oldest active alarm.
“AKA alarm table”
The following repeat routine will be performed in connection with alarm routing and when the alarm
is not delivered.
Start
Pause in minutes: /

When the alarm has been delivered to a primary or alternative alarm receiver, a copy will be
transmitted to the copy receiver, if such a receiver has been defined.
If the copy alarm cannot be delivered, it will also be repeated every five minutes. This situation will not
stop the gateway from transmitting Pri./Alt. alarms, until all 249 spaces have been used.

Data collection takes up this much room
When a log is established in an AKA 243/244 master gateway, room is set aside for data. Just how
much room is reserved is determined by various parameters.
The amount of room that will be reserved can be seen when new logs are established.
Example:
Only Food Safety logs are collected.
If six parameters from 20 controllers with one hour time interval are logged, the gateway will have a
storage capacity of 540 hours (22½ days and nights) which is 48.5% utilisation of the storage capacity.
After the 540 hours the oldest data will be overwritten by new data.
Below examples are given of three system sizes with different log definition options:

Terminology
Address
All units in a network are given an address. The address only concerns the network in which the unit is
mounted. In each network there must only be one unit with the same address. Addresses in the range
1 - 125 can be assigned (except 124).
Baud
Unit indicating data communication speed.
DANBUSS
A data communication system developed by Danfoss A/S for communication between units.
DANBUSS datalink Master
Det er den enhed, der har Masterfunktionen på et bestemt netværk (datalink), og foretager The
unit with the master function in a given network (datalink), handling the polling sequence. The unit
carrying out the master function in a network always has address No. 125. This will typically be an AKA
244 gateway.
Only one unit in a network can be designated as master.
If there are no AKA 243/244 units in the network, AKA 21 will automatically be the master.
Datagram
This is a packet with a message transmitted via DANBUSS.
It could for instance be an enquiry about a certain parameter, a new reference value for a controller,
the answer to an enquiry, etc.
Datagrams in a DANBUSS system can max. comprise 127 bytes, 110 of which can be information.
DCE
“Data Communicating Equipment”. Modem arranged as DCE.
DTE
“Data Terminal Equipment”. AKA 243/244 and PC’s arranged as DTE.
Handshake
Control signals on an interface, e.g. RS 232.
The control signal sees to it that data communication takes place in a “disciplined” manner.
If a handshake is to be used, both parties to the communication must agree on it.
Network
AKA 243/244 and up to max. 123 addressable units together constitute a network.
A connection between a gateway and a PC is an independent network.
A connection between a gateway and a modem is not an independent network.
The DANBUSS system is a combination of several networks. The individual networks are given
individual numbers. These numbers are entered in the DANBUSS system address. Network numbers
can only be assigned in the range 0 - 255.
Polling
A method of maintaining “law and order” in a data communication system.
One unit is nominated as master. This master will allow the other units time to communicate, one after
the other. In this way only one message will be routed through DANBUSS at a time.
Router
The part that ensures that datagrams will be received by the correct party.
In principle each unit in the DANBUSS system should contain a router function, but in certain cases
one in each network will suffice.
The router uses a table for routing the datagrams.
Router table
A table containing information as to how the DANBUSS system is composed as well as a telephone
number at a modem gateway.
The system operator has to encode these tables.
System address
An address identifying each individual unit in a complete DANBUSS system comprising one or several
networks. The system address is composed of the network number and the address. It is written in the
NETWORK:ADDRESS mode (Network:Address).
Example:
1:2 where 1 is the network and 2 the address.
2:115 where 2 is the network and 115 the address.
