Introduction
Integrating Enercon turbines in Farsight is a quick and straightforward process. Follow the steps below to have your assets available.
Requirements
You need to have this information ready before you start the process:
Farsight® Admin account
Your username and password for the Enercon XML centralized server
Your OPC server address and credentials (if necessary)
We handle everything else automatically.
1. Creating Enercon XML connection
Once you have the requirements above, go to the Farsight® web app at https://farsight.app, and follow this path:
Go to: Asset Manager > Asset Manager > Add Connection
First, you must select which type of connection you want to establish. You can find Enercon XML under wind connections.
2. Select Technology
1. Click on Wind
2. Click the Next button
3. Log In and Connect
1. Choose Enercon XML DA as the manufacturer
2. Enter username in the VPN Username field
3. Enter the password in the VPN Password field
4. Click Next
The process usually takes between 3 to 5 minutes, and you can see the different activities we are performing.
You do not need to set up more than one Enercon XML connection and start the new connection wizard again. One is enough, and you will be able to add all your Enercon XML power plants to it using the asset manager.
4. Add Power Plants
Once the connection is added, you need to add the first power plant (site).
1. Enter the selected name in the Power Plant Name field
2. Enter the link to your server in the OPC server field
3. Add username and password in the Username and Password fields if necessary
4. Click Test Connection
You can also select the data import period if you want to import data. Testing the connection is compulsory, and the plant would not be added without this step.
5. Once the test is successful, click Next
Note: When importing historical data, we can only import existing data going as far back as the original source allows. If your site has only been connected to the Enercon XML web portal for three months, then we can only import three months of data.
5. Add Assets
Add the assets you want, or you can do that later from the Asset Manager.
1. Click the checkbox for each asset you want to add
2. Click on the Data Import dropdown to choose the import settings for the asset
3. Click Next when done
Next, confirm your selection, and after clicking Finish, you will be taken to the Asset Manager home page.
View Assets
1. From the Asset Manager page, click on the Connection you added
2. Click on the Plant you added
3. The assets can be seen on this screen
4. You can edit the data by clicking on the Pencil icon in the Custom Data column
5. Hover over the Data Management button and click Recover Missing Data to
recover the missing data
6. Click on the Trash Can icon to delete the asset
7. Click on the + Add Assets button to add new assets
