Introduction to the manual 11 Terms and abbreviations Term Description Type of control unit DDCS Distributed drives communication system protocol DHCP Dynamic Host Control Protocol. A protocol for automating the configuration of IP devices. DHCP can be used to automatically assign IP addresses and related network information.
RMDE-01 reliability monitoring device The RMDE-01 reliability monitoring device collects operation and fault data from the drive control units and the environmental sensors. The device sends the data to ABB Ability cloud or customer data center. The RMDE-01 enclosure contains NETA-21 modules (remote monitoring tool) and NEXA-21 modules (extension unit for the remote monitoring tool).
The continuous connection lines indicate internal connections of the RMDE-01 enclosure done by ABB at the factory. The RMDE-01 collects data from control unit through Ethernet cable connection at the drive side with FENA-21 option module and at the RMDE-01 side with NETA-21 module.

Mechanical installation 19 Mechanical installation What this chapter contains This chapter contains a delivery checklist and instructions to install the RMDE-01 reliability monitoring device. WARNING! Obey the safety instructions given in this manual and the drive documentation. Checking the installation site Check the ambient conditions at the installation site.
Make sure there is 500 mm clearance on both sides of the enclosure for cooling. WARNING! RMDE-01 is a heavy device. Be careful when you lift it. 2. Install the mounting brackets to the enclosure. 3. Mount the enclosure using M8 bolts and washers.
Mechanical installation 21 Installing the antenna WARNING! Parts of the antenna are an electrical conductor. Contact with power lines can result in death or serious injury. The antenna installation location must not be close to any power lines. If the antenna is elevated and at risk from lightning strike it must be ensured that the antenna is mounted and earthed appropriately by a trained professional in accordance with the relevant standards.
• Do not install sensors in the area closer than 500 mm to the RMDE-01 right side air output filter. 2. Install sensors on support plates in chosen location.
Arrange the cables as far from the power cables as possible. • Avoid parallel runs with the power cables. • Do not route the data or antenna cables in the cable ducts inside RMDE-01 (no space for external cables). For information on cable types, see section Cable data (page 49).
Note: ACS880 drive series is compatible with FENA-21. For the other drive types, check the compatibility from ABB. Connecting via a fibre optic link The diagram below shows the connection via the DDCS fibre optic link for a drive which is equipped with an RDCU control unit, and a RDCO DDCS adapter (eg, ACS800 drive).

Connect the NEXA-21 primarily to fiber optic channel CH3 on the RDCO-02 (C) module.
• Connect the environmental sensor USB cables to NEXA-21 modules. Do not route the data or antenna cables in the cable ducts inside RMDE-01 (no space for external cables). Connect cables directly to connection point. For connection points, see chapter Circuit diagrams (page 53).
RMDE-01 and the cellular modem without doing the start-up setup after the first power up of the RMDE-01. Three consecutive power cycles may lock the SIM card if the PIN code is different than 1234 and start-up has not been done.
Page 28
28 Start-up Note: You can download the configuration sample file from ABB download center. 2. Power on the Cellular modem. 3. Wait a minute so that the Cellular modem will start-up. 4. Place the SD card (with comcfg.txt file) in the modem SD card slot.
In case all the ports are connected to NETA-21 modules, release one for the PC. Note: There is no DHCP sever running on RMDE-01 Ethernet devices connected ports. Hence, you need to set PC IP address to 10.0.0.x network. The recommended IP address is between 10.0.0.54 to 10.0.0.254.
30 Start-up • If the Internet Connection is red, re-check the settings in section Connecting a PC to the 3G modem (page 29). • Talk2M Connection can remain red unless 2-way remote access is desired. ■ Testing internet connection You can browse and test the internet connection. Make sure that the Ethernet cable is connected between PC and modem.
Page 31
Connecting a PC to the 3G modem (page 29). • Talk2M Connection is not required for ABB Ability monitoring. 2. In the modem configuration wizard, click Settings. 3. Enter the user credentials and click Log In. • The default Username is adm and the Password is adm.
Page 32
7. Click on the red Ethernet port to switch it to green. 8. Click Save to save the LAN/WAN configuration. The password is changed and the system settings of the modem is completed. You can disconnect Ethernet cable and PC from the RMDE-01.
■ Logging on to NETA-21 1. Make sure that the RMDE-01 is power on. 2. Press and hold NETA-21 SD/RJ45 button for five seconds. 3. Connect an Ethernet cable between the NETA-21 ETH1 port and a PC.
34 Start-up ■ NETA-21 cloud connection status After login to NETA-21, the front page of the NETA-21 portal displays the connectivity status. In the Navigation window, click Reports ˃ Report events to view the data which is sent to the cloud. You can export the collected detailed data as an attachment if you want to see which raw data the NETA-21 is sending to the cloud.
If there are no updates, a dialog is displayed. Using ABB Ability cloud with NETA-21 and RMDE-01 Contact your local ABB sales representative for a service agreement or a trial version to use ABB Ability services. For user access to portals and online support of the existing agreed pilots and contracts, contact Global Remote Services support at CH-Drive.Remote.Support@abb.com.

Maintenance 39 Maintenance What this chapter contains This chapter contains instructions for maintenance of the RMDE-01. Reconfiguring 3G modem Pre-requisite • Make sure that you have a SD card with a comfcfg.txt file that contains the appropriate configuration data. See section...
5. Enter the fixed IP address 10.58.0.x0 where x0 is same as the specific NETA-21 identifier (.10, .20, .30 or .40). • Note that each NETA-21 within RMDE-01 must have different unique IP address. 6. Enter 10.0.0.53 as gateway address, 255.255.255.0 as Netmask and 8.8.8.8 (or operator specific value) as DNS server.

Maintenance 41 The cellular modem firmware is updated using an external tool eBuddy. The cellular modem may update its own firmware automatically if the Talk2M VPN connection is enabled.
Re-check the previously modified Ethernet settings and reboot PC if there were errors during the IP address setup. • Check the IP address "ping 10.0.0.53" gets reply from the host. If the ping returns reply but the web browser does not open the page, restart RMDE-01.
44 Troubleshooting • Ping external site, for example "ping www.abb.com" to verify that the external site is working correctly. • Check that the SIM card and provided settings are working, i.e. with another modem or mobile phone, the SIM card provides internet connectivity.
