AndonTap user manual

How to mount, wire, power, connect and set up AndonTap, and how to read its data from Kepware, Ignition, a PLC or an MES.

Danger: 120 VAC. Read before wiring.
  • Installation by qualified personnel only, following local electrical codes. De-energise and lock out every circuit before wiring or unplugging.
  • IN1-4 share COM-A: one voltage per group, all 120 VAC or all 24 VDC from one circuit. Never mix 120 V and 24 V on the same common.
  • IN5-8 are 24 VDC only. No 120 V on the 7-pin plug, the CT plugs, the power plug or USB-C.
  • CTs: 333 mV or 1 V output only. Never a 1 A / 5 A current-output CT.
  • The isolation barrier is not yet lab-evaluated: switch off the 120 VAC on IN1-4 before plugging in USB-C, or set up over Bluetooth.
