Setting and Discovering the Adapter Configuration
Scenario: You created the SORIS driver, network, and adapter manually or using the network wizard, and now you want to configure the energy managers, and discover the adapter configuration.
Workflow diagram:
1 – Retrieve User API Key
Users must be authenticated to communicate with the energy manager. For each user, an API key is generated and provided to the user.
- Launch Enlighted from the web browser.
- Select Administrator > User Management. The list of users displays in the User Management window.
- Click Copy API Key. The code is copied to clipboard ready to be pasted to the API Key property field in Desigo CC.
2 – Set the Energy Managers
You can configure multiple energy managers under one SORIS Enlighted adapter.
- In System Browser, select Project > Field Networks > [SORIS network] > [Enlighted adapter] > Configuration > Adapter Configuration.
- For each energy manager, in the Operation tab, specify the following parameters:
- Next to the Description property, enter a descriptive text for the energy manager, and click Save.
- Next to the ID property, enter the energy manager identifier, and click Save.
NOTE: This identifier must be a unique value. It is an internal identifier that can be freely assigned in Desigo CC since it is not to be taken from the energy manager.
- Next to the Host property, enter the IP address or the hostname of the energy manager, and click Save.
NOTE: Since it is not the URL that is required, if you enter the hostname, do not include the https:// prefix in the name. For example, ENL-siemens.enlightedinc.com.
- Next to the User property, enter the user that will query the manager, and click Save.
- Next to the Delay (sec) property, enter the polling interval of time in seconds, and click Save.
- Next to the Temperature Unit property, select the appropriate unit of temperature (°F or °C), and click Save.
- Next to the API Key property, paste the given unique user API code identifier (see 1 – Retrieve User API Key), and click Save.
3 – Discover Adapter Configuration
- In the Operation tab, next to the Configuration property, click Create.
- In System Browser, all the configured energy managers are created, including data structures.
