To access the system, enter the user name and password and select login: When installing RemotePRO, only one system user is created, with Installer profile and the following credentials: • username: admin; • password: adminadmin. 2.2 Desktop When accessing RemotePRO, the starting page is displayed. This provides access to all the pages of the program. The layout of each page is described in the figure below, which represents the desktop area: The desktop includes: 1. A bar at the top showing information relating to the user (description, language used). Select a flag from the pop-up menu to change the language used to display the information. On the right is a series of buttons (favourites) that can be modified by the user and that allow quick access to the functions provided by the system. The first button is always featured and is used to logout. 2. The menu bar, set out in several levels, providing access to the program functions. 3. The “browsing path” that traces the pages accessed in the application. This helps return to the previous maps at any time (e.g. once having opened the detail of a map, the user can return to the originating list). 4. A series of tabs that vary depending on the context. 5. An area with the function buttons. 6. The body of the currently displayed map. "remotepro" +0400022EN - rel. 1.2 - 14.03.2012 6 ENG To simplify the experience for the user, almost all the pages have been divided into two categories: 1. Lists: the records are grouped in a table that includes the filtering, sorting and page layout functions. 2. Details: by double clicking a row in the table, complete information on the record in question can be displayed, and several essential functions performed (create, edit, display, delete). 2.3 Lists The main sections on each list page can be easily identified: 1. The parameters that can be set to filter the data in the list. Once the data has been entered, select 2. to filter the information. resets the filtering fields, displaying all the data. Some pages feature the automatic refresh option. In this case a countdown will be displayed to highlight the time remaining until the next refresh. The check box to its side is used to temporarily disable the function. 3. The and buttons are used to add and remove data to/from the list. 4. The “rows” field is used to modify the number of rows displayed on each page (default 15). Note: under Administration -> Access -> Edit User this default value can be changed for the current user. 5. If there is more than one page, buttons are displayed to access a specific page or move to the next, previous, first or last page (using the arrows). 6. The columns with the 7. icon are used to sort the data in the table (by selecting the column header row) in increasing or decreasing order. At the foot of the page are buttons used to export the data in the list (all the data that satisfy the filters set) in different formats (csv, xls, xml, pdf ). 7 "remotepro "+0400022EN - rel. 1.2 - 14.03.2012 ENG 2.4 Details For all complex entities, the list pages can only display a limited amount of information. In these cases, double click the row to “zoom in” and display the details of the selected record. 1 2 3 1. Each page includes the basic functions (create, edit, display, delete) and/or the specific functions for the page; 2. The required fields (for example, to create a new record) are highlighted by a red asterisk; 3. At the bottom of the page are details on the user and the date the record was created, as well as the date the record was last updated and the user; 4. The search buttons open popup boxes to help complete the fields. "remotepro" +0400022EN - rel. 1.2 - 14.03.2012 8 ENG 2.5 Favourites The Administration -> Favourites menu is used to access the map of favourites, listing the transactions that the user expects to access more frequently. The order field indicates the position of the quick access buttons on the top bar. Clicking or selecting an existing record accesses the detail map used to create or edit the favourites: 9 "remotepro "+0400022EN - rel. 1.2 - 14.03.2012 ENG installer 3. START UP Before starting the installation procedure, make sure the features of the PC where the software will be installed are equal to or higher than the “minimum system requirements”. For correct installation of the software, the system needs to be accessed using an account with administrator rights. 3.1 Install the software user Insert the CD in the CD drive.

This does not affect system operation. Wait for the Splash Screen to close and double click the RemotePro icon to access the system. If a security warning is displayed when accessing the program, click on “Continue to this website (not recommended)” or on the equivalent message, according to the browser being used. 11 “remotepro “+0400022EN - rel. 1.2 - 14.03.2012 ENG installer 3.2 Activate thwe software license Use of the software requires registration of the license using an activation code; this code is provided to the user after registration on the Carel website (www.carel.com). The available modules are: • ‘Remote Service’, that allows management of the alarms, up to max 50 supervisors; • ‘Central Data Management’, for the log storage server up to 7000 variables from the local supervisors. user To register the software, the user needs to provide: • the “Mac Address” (unique identifier of the unit network card) that is shown on the license registration page; • the “Serial Number” shown on the label applied to the installation CD packaging. Access: Administration -> Module Note: the icons on the page indicate: software activated maintenance software not activated The “trial” column indicates the possibility to use a module for a limited period of time without activation: the software can be used until the trial period expires. Important: The “Mac Address” field shows the codes of all the network cards available on the unit (for example Ethernet board and/or wireless board), separated by ‘;’. When registering on the Carel webste, provide just one of the codes. Enter the serial number containing the information relating to the software being activated Enter the activation code provided when registering Click . Note: all software that can be registered is distributed with the corresponding “Serial Number”. “remotepro “+0400022EN - rel. 1.2 - 14.03.2012 12 ENG 4.1 CONFIGURATION installer 4. Configure the supervisor network Each local supervisor must be configured in the system. For each supervisor to be configured, access: census -> installation -> supervisors maintenance user This page lists the supervisors that are currently configured, showing: • The unique identifier of the supervisor. • The description. • An icon that represents the type of supervisor (PlantVisorPRO, PlantWatchPRO, pCOWeb or PlantVisor Enhanced). • An icon that represents the supervisor connection mode (modem or LAN). • The supervisor IP address or phone number (depending on the connection mode). • An icon that indicates whether or not access via internet (from outside the LAN) is enabled. • In the “Remote Service” and “Data Central Management” version, the functions activated: • synchronisation (C = configuration, A = alarms, E = events, N = notes) • data alignment (D) • outgoing life test (T) • incoming life test (L) Selecting the button opens the details page for configuring a new supervisor. Enter the data required to configure the local supervisor. • The “identifier” and the “password” must be the same as set on the local supervisor, otherwise synchronisation will not be possible. These data are required for the functions included in the “Remote Service” version. • The “identifier” field must be unique, therefore the local supervisors also need to be configured correctly (see the related manuals). • The “Mac Address” field (unique identifier of the network card) is only needed for the pCOWeb. 13 “remotepro “+0400022EN - rel. 1.2 - 14.03.2012 maintenance user installer ENG If the supervisor is connected via LAN, in the “IP address” enter the number that uniquely identifies the device connected to the network or the DNS name. If the supervisor is connected via modem, in the “Phone” field enter the phone number to dial. Important: the modem connection is a slow data transmission channel. When configuring a supervisor that uses this channel, the data to be transferred between the local and remote supervisors need to be selected carefully, to limit traffic on the channel and reduce communication times. To ensure correct operation of the system, the number of supervisors that can be connected via modem is limited to 20. Important: in the “type” field, choose the model carefully (PlantVisorPRO, PlantVisor Enhanced, PlantWatchPRO or pCOWeb), as after having created the supervisor, this value can no longer be edited. • Enable or disable the possibility to access the supervisor via internet. This option makes supervisors that would otherwise be unreachable accessible from outside of the LAN. • Select the information to be downloaded from the local supervisor during synchronisation (e.g. alarms, events, notes…). This function is included in the “Remote Service” version. • Indicate whether to enable the life test function. This function is included in the “Remote Service” version. • there are two functions: “incoming” and “outgoing” life test. • Indicate whether to enable the option for aligning the data from the local supervisor. This function is included in the “Data Central Management” version. Click . Important: The “pCOWeb credentials” section is required if the supervisor is a pCOWeb. For the data to be entered in this section, see the user manual for this device. “remotepro “+0400022EN - rel. 1.2 - 14.03.2012 14 ENG Configure the local network Especially for systems operating in a company LAN, access to the network over HTTP and HTTPS protocols may be controlled via a network proxy. As the RemotePRO server communicates with PlantVisorPRO local supervisors using HTTPS and with the PlantWatchPRO and pCOWeb supervisors using HTTP, the system can be configured to communicate with these supervisors using a network proxy. installer 4.2 2. Enter the required fields 3. Click Important: the proxy cannot be enabled for just come of the supervisors configured. If a series of supervisors can only be accessed via proxy and another series does not require this, the system administrator also needs to configure the proxy to access the latter Note: below is a list of ports required for correct communication between RemotePRO and the various different types of local supervisor: Supervisor type: Source: PlantVisor Enhanced PlantVisor Enhanced RemotePRO RemotePRO Destination and port: RemotePRO: TCP/2016 Use: Synchronisation action PlantVisor Enhanced: TCP/20 & TCP/21 PlantVisor Enhanced: TCP/80 Data Synchronisation and Alignment RemotePRO: TCP/443 RemotePRO: TCP/8443 PlantVisorPRO: TCP/443 Synchronisation action Synchronisation action (PVP version < 2.0 ONLY) Online Browsing, Data Synchronisation and Alignment Online Browsing PlantVisorPRO PlantVisorPRO PVP RemotePRO PlantWatch PRO PlantWatchPRO RemotePRO: TCP/2008 Synchronisation action RemotePRO PlantWatchPRO: TCP/1981 Data Synchronisation and Alignment RemotePRO PlantWatchPRO: TCP/80 Online Browsing pCOWeb pCOWeb RemotePRO RemotePRO RemotePRO: TCP/20 & TCP21 pCOWeb: TCP/80 pCOWeb: TCP/20 and TCP/21 15 Data Synchronisation and Alignment Online Browsing and Data Log Request Data Log Request “remotepro “+0400022EN - rel. 1.2 - 14.03.2012 maintenance user 1.

Complete all the fields required to configure the new user and click . The “status” field indicates whether or not the application can be accessed; this allows users to be temporarily disabled. The “list refresh frequency” field, if not equal to zero, specifies the number of minutes between automatic refreshing for the pages where this is supported (e.g. List of alarms and Supervisor status), while the “rows per page” field defines how many rows are displayed in the lists, unless otherwise specified. Important: the “status” field must be “enabled” to allow the user to login. Important: if the Password Complexity item is enabled under System -> Configuration -> Global, user passwords must contain at least one letter of the alphabet, a number and one of the following symbols: . (decimal point) , (comma) _ (underscore) ! (exclamation mark) ? (question mark) $ (dollar sign) % (percentage) and & (ampersand) The correct profile must be selected, as each profile allows access to different functions. Three types of profiles are available: - Installer - User - Maintainer Installer users can access all the functions available in the application (both system configuration and operation). The User profile offers read-only access to the main transactions. Maintainance users have extended access that allows complete management of the alarms. “remotepro “+0400022EN - rel. 1.2 - 14.03.2012 18 ENG Maintenance Read/write Read/write Read-only Read-only Read/write for synchronisation Read/write CENSUS Supervisor installation Model installation Address book Read/write Read/write Read/write Read-only Read-only Read-only Read-only Read-only Read-only REPORTS Log report Export data log Alarm report Configuration KPI temperature KPI energy Read/write Read/write Read/write Read/write Read-only Read-only Read/write Read/write Read/write Read-only Read-only Read-only Read/write Read/write Read/write Read-only Read-only Read/write Read/write Read/write Read/write Read/write Read/write Read/write Read/write Read-only Read/write Read-only Read/write Read/write Read/write Read/write Read/write Read/write SYSTEM System register Rules engine Channel Log Global Life test Data alignment ADMINISTRATION User access Access /edit user Favourites System page Modules Export log file Read/write Read/write Read/write Read/write Read/write Read/write 19 “remotepro “+0400022EN - rel. 1.2 - 14.03.2012 user User maintenance Installer SUPERVISION Supervisor status Alarms installer The following table shows which functions are enabled for the different types of profile: ENG MODELS Device models can be used to associate information with variables from pCOWeb supervisors or alternatively to display values from custom devices for KPI temperature and energy. maintenance user installer 5. 5.1 Import a new model To import a new model, access: Configuration>Installation ->Models Click Fill in the fields describing the model, select the ZIP file containing the required files (see the note) and select the reference language for the descriptions Click Important: the language must be included among those configured for the model Important: the information that identifies a variable (type, address, variable length, variable size and bit position) must be unique, so as to allow correct association with the devices Note: data can only be imported from a file taken from a Carel 1Tool project. The imported file must be a standard ZIP (without password and not using the maximum compression ratio), containing just two project files: - 2CF - 2CT. “remotepro “+0400022EN - rel. 1.2 - 14.03.2012 20 ENG Access: Configuration->Installation ->Models Double click the model to be configured Click the Variable Model tab For the model variables select the corresponding sub-devices and KPI meanings (see the note) Click Note: each device can refer to several cabinets / energy meters (up to 10). The model variables must be divided into corresponding sub-devices. If the model has just one cabinet / energy meter, all the variables involved will be associated with the same sub-device Note: for each model involved in KPI reports, the meaning of the variables needs to be specified so that the system can process them correctly For KPI temperature reports, the following variables are used: Temperature value; Set point; Differential; Compressor status; Defrost status; High temp. alarm (optional); Low temp. alarm (optional). • • • • • • • KPI energy reports allow multiple meters for the same supervisor. If some of these are cascaded, the meters that are downstream, that measure just some of the energy and that are upstream can all be specified, indicating the total count to avoid errors in calculating overall energy. For a total energy meter the only variable required is: Total Energy while for a partial energy meter the only variable required is: Energy Note: for a sub-device to be included in the KPI reports, all the required variables must be correctly logged by the RemotePRO server 21 “remotepro “+0400022EN - rel. 1.2 - 14.03.2012 maintenance user Configure a model for use in KPI reports installer 5.2 ENG installer 6. It is important to know whether the local supervisors are communicating correctly with the remote supervisor, or whether there are problems that prevent communication. The status of each supervisor can be checked using the “life test” that is performed periodically by the remote supervisor for each local supervisor configured. 6.1 user LIFE TEST MANAGEMENT Configure the life test Important: the life test is only performed for the supervisors that have selected at least one of the items, either “incoming life test” or “outgoing life test” on the supervisor details page. Otherwise the “life test” will not be performed for that supervisor and its status will not be known. maintenance Note: Check under census -> installation -> supervisors in columns “T” and “L” respectively which supervisors are enabled for the “outgoing life test” and/or the “incoming life test” ( ). The number of times the “life test” must be performed every day can be set. If, for example, a frequency of 4 incoming life tests is set per day, the tests will be performed at 00:00, 06:00, 12:00 and 18:00. The test at 06:00 checks if there has been at least one call from the local supervisor between 00:00 and 05:59, and so on. Access: system -> configuration -> life test. Select how many times the life test should be performed every day using the corresponding fields. • “outgoing”: to periodically send a request to each supervisor enabled. The remote supervisor calls the local supervisor (i.e.: the remote makes the call via modem); • “incoming”: to check whether at least one request has been received from the local supervisors enabled over the recent period: the local supervisors must actively contact the remote (i.e.: the local makes the call via modem). See the corresponding manual to configure the local supervisors for contacting the remote. Click . Note: Different intervals can be defined for “life test via LAN” (maximum 24 times a day, that is, once an hour) and “life test via modem” (maximum 6 times a day, that is, once every 4 hours). “remotepro “+0400022EN - rel. 1.2 - 14.03.2012 22 ENG 7.1 ALARM AND EVENT MANAGEMENT Configure the email The I/O peripherals must be configured in order to send notifications via email when alarms occur. installer 7. Access: system -> channel -> email configuration. Click user Enter all the data required for Email configuration. . 7.2 Configure the rule engine Synchronised alarms can be managed by the rules engine and notified via email to relevant personnel who need to respond. Notification groups can be defined to group different contacts together. Whenever an alarm is signalled on the remote supervisor, a special procedure checks whether there are alarm notification rules in the time band. If there are, the specific alarm is checked to see whether there are specific rules (for example, based on alarm priority). If there is at least one specific rule, all the groups of contacts associated with the alarm will be notified. Access: system -> rules engine -> rules. Click . Enter all the data needed for correct alarm management. Each alarm can be managed by the rules engine based on certain features set by the user, such as its priority, the type of supervisor, alarm status.

The data alignment function downloads to the remote supervisor the data related to the variables logged by the instruments connected to the local supervisors. This function centralises the various types of information acquired from the field in just one location, allowing comparative analysis to be performed. user 8.1 maintenance DATA MANAGEMENT Configure data alignment The data alignment function is a scheduled operation that is run automatically by the system once a day. The user can set the time when the function starts as desired. Important: data alignment is only performed for supervisors that have been suitably configured. To enable the function, select the “data” check box on the supervisor detail page. Note: in census -> installation -> supervisors column “D” shows which supervisors are enabled for “data alignment” ( ). To configure data alignment access: system -> configuration -> data alignment Set the data alignment start time in the “data alignment start time” field. Note: data alignment should be started in the night-time band, as the quantity of data processed may lead to a decline in system performance. In the “FTP server” field enter the IP address of the PC where the application is installed. The “localhost” alias is not allowed for this field. Note: this information is only used for communication with PCOWeb supervisors. Important: if the network of supervisors extends outside a LAN (access via Internet), the public IP of the server needs to be specified for correct interaction with pCOWeb supervisors. Click . “remotepro “+0400022EN - rel. 1.2 - 14.03.2012 26 ENG Configure logged variables The list of variables that are logged can be changed under: system->log->variables The top part of the page is used to set the filters for reducing the number of variables displayed (click maintenance The system acquires the variables to be logged in the order these are received from the local supervisors. By default the system accepts all variables until reaching the maximum number allowed by the “Data Central Management” license. On reaching this limit, the system then ignores the values of new variables: to apply the filters) In the “FTP server” field enter the IP address of the PC where the application is installed, insert to the end ‘RemotePRO’. Click user installer 8.2 to apply the changes Important: if an update attempts to enable the log for a number of variables that exceeds the license limits, the operation will in any case terminate when reaching this maximum value Note: the last field in the filter area shows the number of the variables that can still be logged (this is zero when the license limits are reached) Note: for a variable to be shown in the list, at least one synchronisation must have been performed (except for pCOWeb supervisors) and the values must effectively derive from a data alignment procedure (for correct configuration of the log and data alignment on the local supervisor, see the corresponding manual) 27 “remotepro “+0400022EN - rel. 1.2 - 14.03.2012 ENG installer 9. KPI REPORTS The KPI report offers the user a rapid overview of the performance of each supervisor. The data used for analysis are retrieved from the local supervisor; data alignment configuration is therefore required to use this function 9.1 Configure the variables analysed on the KPI reports user Following the first synchronisation with a supervisor, to configure the variables analysed proceed as follows: For each supervisor to be configured access: database -> installation -> supervisors Double click the supervisor in question to open the maintenance details page. Click the “devices” tab. In the “device model” column set the correct model for the controllers being configured. Click . Note: the same model can be associated with more than one device, selecting them and using the “global models” list. To exclude a controller from the report, disable it by setting “NO” for the value in the KPI column. Important: only devices with an associated model will be considered for the KPI reports.

REMOTE MANAGEMENT OF LOCAL USERS Important: remote management of Local Users is currently only supported by PlantVisorPRO version 2.0 and higher. user Local User management allows RemotePRO to set a list of users for accessing the local supervisors (for simplicity these will be called local users) and then automatically configure the supervisors accordingly, without having to repeat the configuration for each individual user on each supervisor. 10.1 Display local users maintenance Note: This list is considered an addition to the list of users already available on the supervisors, as pre-existing users will not be deleted or overwritten, unless Local User management is used to create/edit/delete users with the same username as users already listed on the supervisor. Access: administration -> access -> local users This page lists the local users currently configured, displaying: • username; • two numbers that represent the number of supervisors configured (the first number indicates those that the user can access, the second indicates the supervisors yet to be synchronised); • • Note: moving over each number with the mouse cursor displays the list of corresponding supervisors configured. an icon indicating any supervisors connected via modem; user profile. 10.2 Create and edit local users Note: supervisors that support remote management of Local Users must be enabled to accept this function.
