No communication between Airleader control and compressors.

Check the wiring. Check the bus addresses on communication modules. If the communication is bridged over the Ethernet network (FL-COM Server) check and increase the response time (Code 111111).

Can we have more than 2 FU Compressors on one Airleader control?

The Airleader Mastermodul / CN can handle up to 4 FU compressors with additional software. Contact our technician for more information and costs.

How can I compensate for pressure differences?

With Airleader Mastermodul / CN it is possible to handle up to 3 pressure sensors, mounted on different places inside the system, to get an average of all sensors as pressure value to control the Airleader. For every pressure sensor, a divergence value can be set. If the pressure exceeded the divergence value, this sensor will not be included in the calculation.

Actual pressure on system and FU differ. Can i get the system pressure for the FU compressor?

With Airleader Mastermodul / CN it is possible to send the system pressure to the FU compressors. The system pressure can get from the AO connector of the communication module as 4-20mA signal. Offsets can be programmed in the controller.

New compressor installed but not visible in OPC Server.

With such changes, it is necessary to restart the OPC server, because the OPC Server reads it’s configuration only on startup. Please disconnect all client connections before restarting the OPC Server.

Webbrowser shows other website after installation of WebServer.

The cause for this issue is the security setting of Windows 7, which does not allow script-based installation of windows services. For the installation, it is necessary to turn off the UAC (user account control). In some cases, you have to reboot your machine. After turning off the UAC, the installation process should run correctly.

Panel shows up communiation error

This issue can have many causes. First, you should check the availability of the control in the network through a PING. This can be done in the “Diagnostics” area. If the PING is successful, it should be checked whether the IP address of the controller may have been assigned more than once. If this is not the case, the issue can be triggered by the internal memory card of the controller. For that, the SD card should be initialized. The procedure for initializing is described in the operating manual.

Airleader doesn’t store the values sending from WebServer?

Key switch “Prog” must be set to “Off”. Have you entered the correct WebServer Plus code?

Why is the web server accessible only on the server machine?

Maybe the incoming requests are blocked by the servers firewall. Make sure that the firewall is passing incoming traffic on port 80.

Old software version after updating

Before installing a new software version, you have to deinstall the previous version. Take care that you remember the controllers ip-adress and the data path. As from Version 3.000 or higher, there is an online updater included, which can be used to update the system on the fly. For the online update, an internet connection must be available.

How EMS Monitoring Sets The Standard For Efficient Compressor Operations?

Are you struggling to control energy costs related to your compressors? According to a study by the U.S. Department of Energy, compressed air systems can account for up to 30% of a factory’s total energy consumption. This is where Energy Management Systems Monitoring (EMS) comes in. It provides a strategic solution to track, benchmark, and optimize energy use, ensuring your compressors run efficiently over the long term.

What is EMS Monitoring and Why Does It Matter?

Energy Management Systems Monitoring (EMS) involves using advanced software and real-time data to track energy consumption patterns of compressor systems. By continually monitoring energy usage, EMS establishes benchmarks for optimal performance. These benchmarks help identify areas where energy savings can be made, ensuring that your equipment runs at peak efficiency and minimizes waste.

How EMS Helps Set Benchmarks for Energy Efficiency?

Using this, you can collect and analyze critical data, such as air pressure, temperature, and power consumption. This data enables you to create realistic energy benchmarks based on actual performance. Over time, these benchmarks evolve to reflect operational best practices, helping you identify any deviations that may indicate inefficiencies or mechanical issues.

For example, a 2019 report by the U.S. Department of Energy found that energy savings of up to 50% could be achieved by setting proper benchmarks for compressor operations and maintenance. This makes EMS monitoring a vital tool for improving your system’s overall efficiency and performance.

Key Benefits of EMS Monitoring

1. Increased Efficiency: By continuously tracking energy consumption, EMS monitoring ensures compressors are not running beyond their optimal efficiency levels. This reduces energy waste.

2. Cost Savings: With clear benchmarks, it becomes easier to detect and eliminate unnecessary energy use, resulting in significant cost savings on your utility bills.

3. Prolonged Equipment Life: Consistently running compressors at peak efficiency reduces wear and tear, extending the lifespan of your equipment.

Setting Energy Use Benchmarks: A Step-by-Step Process

The process of benchmarking energy use involves several key steps that are simplified by Compressor Monitoring Systems. Here’s how it works:

Steps	Action	Purpose
1	Data Collection	Gather real-time data on energy use, air pressure, and other parameters.
2	Data Analysis	Compare your data with industry standards or past performance to establish a baseline.
3	Benchmark Creation	Set energy usage targets based on the data.
4	Continuous Monitoring	Use EMS to track performance over time and adjust benchmarks as needed.

By following these steps, you can identify areas of improvement and set achievable energy goals that align with your operational needs.

Long-Term Impact of Benchmarking with EMS Monitoring

As benchmarks become integrated into your compressor management strategy, the long-term benefits compound. Businesses that incorporate Energy Management Systems Monitoring into their daily operations see an improvement in system reliability and a drastic reduction in unexpected maintenance costs. These systems can predict potential failures, allowing for proactive maintenance that minimizes downtime. At Airleader, we offer you the best of management systems, to ensure that there is complete transparency in terms of data performance and even offers you the opportunity to optimize your performance levels.

Conclusive Words

By leveraging compressor monitoring systems, you can effectively benchmark your energy use and ensure that your compressors operate efficiently. This reduces costs, extends the life of your equipment, and supports a more sustainable operation. With real-time monitoring, predictive maintenance, and industry-specific benchmarks, you’ll be setting the standard for energy-efficient compressor operations in no time.
