DLB Controller - Quick Installation Guide

Modified on Mon, 27 Apr at 2:32 PM

Initial physical installation and network connection

This guide covers the basic on-site installation steps a technician needs to perform to bring the controller online and connect it to the cloud platform. Once these steps are completed, hand the system over to the agreed technical contact responsible for the project — further device configuration, parameters and commissioning are done by them.

1. Power up the controller

Connect the controller to a 230 V power supply on the DIN rail.
Wait approximately 1–2 minutes for the controller to boot up.

2. Connect to the local network

Make sure the controller is connected to the building’s local network with an Ethernet cable.
Connect your laptop to the same local network. Either Wi-Fi or Ethernet works, as long as it is the same subnet as the controller.

3. Find the controller’s IP address

Run an IP scanner on your laptop. Advanced IP Scanner is a free option:

Scan the local network and locate the controller in the results.
Note its local IP address — you will need it in the next step.

4. Log in to the configurator

Open a web browser on your laptop.
Enter the controller’s local IP address into the address bar and press Enter.
Log in with the default credentials:
- Username: admin
- Password: admin

5. Connect the controller to the cloud

In the configurator menu, navigate to: Settings → System → Cloud.
Enter the cloud account credentials provided to you by the technical contact for this project.
Save the settings and wait 1–5 minutes for the connection to be established.

6. Hand over for further configuration

Notify the technical contact that the controller is online and connected to the cloud.
Further configuration — adding metering devices, parameters, naming, alarms, etc. — is done by the technical contact, who has the manufacturer-specific information.

The cloud platform URL and any project-specific credentials are provided by the technical contact in charge of the installation. Do not look up or use other sources.

If the controller is not visible in the IP scan, check the Ethernet cable, the switch port, and confirm the controller has power (status LEDs).
