Equipment
Equipment refers to the connected controllers that you supervise with Kodeno. This section guides you in configuring and using your equipment.
What is Equipment?
A Kodeno equipment is a programmable logic controller (PLC) connected to the Internet that allows you to:
- Read sensors (digital inputs, analog inputs, temperatures)
- Control actuators (digital outputs, analog outputs)
- Execute automation scenarios
- Program time-based actions
Each equipment has a unique serial number (MAC address) that identifies it on the network.
Input/Output Types
Digital Inputs (DI)
Two-state sensors: ON or OFF
- Presence detectors
- Switches
- Dry contacts
Analog Inputs (AI)
Sensors measuring a continuous value (0-10V or 4-20mA)
- Light sensors
- Humidity sensors
- Pressure sensors
PT1000 Inputs (temperature)
High-precision temperature probes
- Measurement in degrees Celsius
- Industrial precision
Digital Outputs (DO)
On/off commands
- Relays
- Solenoid valves
- Lighting
Analog Outputs (AO)
Variable value commands (0-10V)
- Speed drives
- Proportional valves
- Dimmers
Accessing Your Equipment
In the sidebar, click on "Equipment" to see the dropdown list of all your equipment. Each equipment is a direct link to its configuration page.
Equipment Tabs
An equipment page is organized into several tabs:
| Tab | Description |
|---|---|
| Dashboard | Real-time status view |
| Configuration | Input/output setup |
| S7 Configuration | Siemens S7 connection (if activated) |
| S7 Log | S7 data reading |
| Scheduling | Time-based scheduling |
| Analysis | History and charts |
| Settings | Advanced configuration |
Adding Equipment
- Access your client space
- Click on the "Equipment" tab
- Click on "New Equipment"
- Fill in:
- Name: Equipment identifier
- Serial Number: Controller MAC address
- Type: Controller model
- Site (optional): Location
- Validate creation
Each equipment requires a valid license to be operational. Without a license, the equipment will appear in limited mode.
Connection Status
Equipment connection status is displayed by badges:
| Badge | Meaning |
|---|---|
| 🟢 Connected | Equipment communicates in real-time |
| 🔴 Disconnected | No communication for more than 30 seconds |
Equipment Dashboard
The dashboard displays real-time:
- All configured input/output states
- Current sensor values
- Last activity
- System information
Configuration
Access the Configuration tab to set up:
- Input/output names
- Sensor types
- Units of measurement
- Calibration
- History recording
Troubleshooting
Equipment appears offline
Check:
- Network connection
- Power supply
- Firewall settings
- MQTT credentials
Values not updating
Verify:
- Equipment is online
- Configuration is saved
- History is enabled (for historical data)
