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.

The Role of Real-Time Monitoring in Preventing Compressed Air System Failures!

Compressed air systems are critical to various industries, and even a minor failure can result in costly downtime, inefficiencies, and operational disruptions. With pressure fluctuations, leaks, or abnormal patterns being frequent causes of failure, organizations need a proactive approach to identify potential issues before they become significant problems. A compressed air management system (CMS) equipped with real-time monitoring capabilities offers a comprehensive solution, enabling businesses to optimize system performance and prevent costly failures.

Real-Time Monitoring: A Game Changer for System Reliability

Real-time monitoring in a compressed air management system can significantly enhance operational efficiency by detecting issues such as pressure imbalances, leaks, and unusual operational behaviors. When these problems go unnoticed, they can lead to equipment malfunctions or energy wastage, affecting overall productivity. Real-time data helps operators and maintenance teams identify inefficiencies or early warning signs, allowing them to address them swiftly.

Early Detection of Pressure Fluctuations

Pressure fluctuations are among the most common issues in compressed air systems, often resulting from inconsistent air demand, compressor failures, or sudden leaks. Without continuous monitoring, these fluctuations can escalate, leading to inefficient operation and even equipment breakdowns. Real-time monitoring allows for immediate detection of pressure changes, enabling rapid response to prevent system instability.

For instance, air compressors should operate within specific pressure ranges. If a compressor fails to maintain the required pressure, it might overload other system components, leading to costly repairs. Real-time monitoring, integrated into your CMS, identifies this variation instantly and provides alerts, so you can act before the situation worsens.

Identifying Leaks in Real-Time

Leaks in compressed air systems can be a significant drain on energy resources. According to a study by the U.S. Department of Energy, compressed air leaks can account for up to 30% of a system’s total energy consumption. By incorporating a real-time monitoring system, operators can easily identify leak points, whether it’s a loose connection or a faulty valve. Regular monitoring ensures timely detection, reducing energy wastage and preventing unnecessary costs.

Monitoring Abnormal Operational Patterns

Abnormal operational patterns, such as excessive runtime or irregular load cycles, may indicate that a compressor or component is underperforming or heading towards failure. A compressed air management system equipped with real-time monitoring can track these patterns, alerting users when a piece of equipment deviates from normal operating conditions. This early alert system allows for preventative maintenance and timely interventions, ensuring the system remains in peak condition.

Why Choose Real-Time Monitoring with a CMS?

The benefits of real-time monitoring go beyond just identifying problems. By integrating a compressed air management system (CMS) into your operations, you gain detailed insights into your system’s performance. These insights can help optimize energy consumption, reduce downtime, and extend the lifespan of your equipment.

Moreover, by working with trusted compressor manufacturers in the USA, you can ensure that your system is equipped with the best-in-class technology for maximum reliability.

Airleader helps organizations optimize their compressed air systems by providing a sophisticated, web-based Compressor Management System (CMS), designed to improve efficiency and reduce system failures.

Conclusion

Incorporating real-time monitoring into your compressed air management system is a proactive strategy to prevent failures, improve performance, and save costs. By continuously tracking system health and providing immediate alerts, you can avoid major disruptions and enhance the longevity of your equipment. Embrace the power of real-time data to keep your operations running smoothly and efficiently.
