Firmware update Contents of this chapter This chapter contains the instructions to use the NETA-21 user interface, and to update the NETA-21 firmware to the latest version. It is recommended by ABB to update the firmware before you install NETA-21.
Connecting a local PC to NETA-21 operating as a DHCP server This section describes how to access the user interface by using NETA-21 that operates as a DHCP server in the Ethernet 1 network (PC ETH 1 terminal), between the locally connected PC and NETA-21.
Logging on to NETA-21 1. With the web browser of your PC, navigate to https://192.168.230.1. 2. When you log on to NETA-21 for the first time, use the default user name/password: Enter “admin” in the Username and Password fields 3. Change the admin user password during the first login.
26 First access to the NETA-21 User interface and Firmware update 3. After the first log on, the NETA-21 license is shown. Click Close to exit the license Updating NETA-21 time Clock battery maintains the time in NETA-21, but adjustment is needed if the NETA-21 is kept idle (without power and online connection) for a longer duration.

Installation of NETA-21 and environmental sensor 31 If the sensor communicates with NETA-21 correctly, the blue LED of the sensor will continuously light up and slowly fade away. For more information, see section Verifying that NETA-21 communicates with Yocto Meteo environmental sensor page 47.
Page 32
32 Installation of NETA-21 and environmental sensor 3. Recommended locations for NETA-21 and the environmental sensor Install the environmental sensor near the air inlet of the drive cabinet. For example, on multidrives the sensor is placed on the air inlet of one of the parallel connected modules.
DDCS devices. WARNING! Do not monitor a drive both NETA-21 and PC-tool simultaneously. An error message will be displayed if you try to monitor drive both NETA-21 and PC-tool simultaneously. For more information, see sections...
34 Network and drive connectivity configuration Overview The below diagram shows an overview on how the drives are connected to the ABB Ability cloud. Note: Currently the ACS-AP-x control panel must be removed when NETA-21 is connected to the panel bus. You can connect NETA-21 to an ACS880 drive using Ethernet...
Obtain addresses automatically – Disables the IP address, Subnet Mask and Default gateway boxes - This is the default setting. In this mode, NETA-21 tries to retrieve its IP address from the DHCP server. Use this mode if NETA-21 is installed in customer LAN network without a fixed IP address.
36 Network and drive connectivity configuration Configure proxy settings Configure the proxy details in Proxy settings if the customer network has a proxy server for the Internet connection. The proxy server IP address and port number are required. If the customer network requires proxy authentication, the proxy credentials are required for the same.
Multiple control unit For a multi-drive setup, ABB recommends to use a star network topology. It is also mandatory to have a unique node ID for each drive. Star network avoids monitoring data loss even if one of the drives shut down. To make sure that the detected drives are kept connected, perform a power recycle of NETA-21 after all of the devices are connected.
Page 38
3. ABB does not recommend to enable Modbus/TCP GW mode when you connect NETA-21 to cloud. The Modbus/TCP GW mode impacts the quality of the data which is collected with monitor logging (every one second) and send to cloud. In special...
This changes the datalogger modes of all connected drives to "keep continuously running" without need to manually configure each datalogger in the web UI of NETA-21. Verify the connection speed and the network topology. Keep Ethernet GW (external PC tool access via local Ethernet) disabled.
• The IP addresses in the figures are an example configuration. 3. When the changes are done, configure the Ethernet1 settings in NETA-21 as follows: The network interface page is in Settings Network interfaces Ethernet 1 4. Select the Use the following addresses: radio button, and then enter an IP address in the same subnet.
Page 41
Add button and enter the IP address. 8. Click Create device. Note: When you configure multiple devices in the same NETA-21, make sure that you use a different subnet for the Ethernet network that is used for ACS880 drives and the cellular router connection.
4. When the new node ID is changed, connect to NETA-21 via a PNL port. To make sure that the drive is detected by NETA-21, refresh the panel bus devices, by clicking the refresh button on Settings Device interfaces Panel bus To connect multiple ACS880 with a panel bus configuration, configure them in a daisy chain configuration and configure all the drives to have unique node IDs.
WARNING! Make sure that you install both CM (Condition Monitoring) ips package and USB sensor Yocto-Meteo IPS package (yome.ips). NETA-21 does not send data to the Ability portal. You must install an IPS package for CM (Condition Monitoring) services on the NETA-21. For example, rcminst.ips, or cn-cm.ips for installations in China.
44 Digital services portal package installation and use Preconditions: Make sure that: • The latest NETA-21 firmware is installed. • Possible on-site proxy settings are set. For more information, see section Configure proxy settings on page 36. • rcminst.ips package is available on PC To Install the IPS package: 1.

Digital services portal package installation and use 47 Verifying that NETA-21 communicates with Yocto Meteo environmental sensor 1. Install the environmental sensor handling package to NETA-21 Download the latest install package from library. If prompted, use ABB credentials and login to ABB library.
Verifying that NETA-21 communicates with Ability Cloud and the Portal To verify that the NETA-21 communicates with Ability cloud and the CMD portal successfully: 1. After you install the IPS package, make sure that the Portal status display is visible in the NETA-21 Home page (My front page).
You need to configure NETA in CMD gateway settings admin page to enable NETA send the data to cloud successfully. To configure 1. Navigate to CMD portal → gateway settings admin page → Search for NETA-21 and enter the NETA-21 serial number. For more information, see Gateway administration in condition Administrator guide (3AXD50000534890[English]).

SOLUTION: In the Settings Tool settings Factory tools tab • Verify that the check box "Enable factory login (factory support account)” is selected. •...
Installation troubleshooting (optional) 61 DDCS devices are not detected CAUSE: The device scan has not occurred. SOLUTION: • Go to Settings Device interfaces DDCS Rescan devices If this still does not scan devices, click on the Settings Device interfaces DDCS Restore defaults.
In NETA-21, use PC tool friendly mode (Device interfaces Ethernet Settings). In this mode, when CMD is active and if NETA-21 detects a PC tool at the same time, NETA-21 stops sending data to CMD and gives preference to PC tool monitoring.
DDCS/UP configuration is available from DriveWindow version 2.4 or later. Notes: • During this mode, NETA-21 stops sending data to the cloud. Hence, if NETA-21 is set to PC tool Ethernet Gateway mode for more than one hour, it can affect the condition monitoring diagnostics quality.
