Documentation of the installation

This section describes the documentation prepared for the Pilot with the objective of enabling the installer to perform the specific tasks while minimizing the possibility of errors. Moreover, the whole set of documentation detailing drawings, layouts, technical specification of equipment and cabling was produced taking into account that the Pilot installation has been object of a tender to apply the rules of the Genoa Municipality. More in detail, the whole set of documentation includes:

  • a list of modules and units to be installed in the Pilot, including the code number of each unit;
  • a table which details for every BOX Module of the pilot the pre-setting settled up in the factory, including the DIP switches presets, the IP address, the ID Genoa BOX code;

  • a general drawing which summarizes the links between the various modules of the DOKI Bems control network, with specific details of the type of cable to use for all connections (see next session); Every BOX DOKI has been coupled with a IP address (Board IP) and with the values of DIP Switches 1, 2 and 3 to set up the behavior of the module.
