1. Prepare the Linux(Ubuntu) PC and set static IP.
- Install Ubuntu (server or desktop) on the PC.
Configure astatic(manual) IP on the same network as the THEIOX server:
Desktop (Network Manager): Settings → Network → Wired → IPv4 → Manual → enter IP, Subnet mask , Gateway, DNS.
2. After that Theiox installation and license update to software
3. Verify device list at loop end (before connecting to HMI), Prepare and verify the device list: device ID, feeder name, meter model.
If possible, run a simple communication test to each meter at loop end (RTU or Modbus).
4. Confirm meters communicate with HMI
- connect meters to the HMI network
Pick one LG2510D meter (the one with known load) and run a Modscan/Modbus master test:
-
Verify read registers for values and load data.
-
Confirm expected register values (voltage, current, energy).
5. Connect laptop (your PC) to HMI via USB for data capture
6. Choose one free IP in the same subnet as the THEIOX server.
Required network info:
-
IP address: the chosen unused IP
-
Subnet mask: e.g. 255.255.255.0
-
Default gateway: same gateway used by THEIOX server
7. Physically connect Ethernet from HMI to the network switch, Configure HMI network interface with the reserved IP, subnet mask and gateway.
8. Updated GIC file to the HMI via USB; completed software setup; while logging in to Linux PC select Xorg option. On the Linux PC,
9. After GIC update, upload any data files .
-
On HMI set network parameters: IP, Subnet mask, Default gateway — confirm saved and active.
-
Reboot HMI if recommended by vendor.
10. Connected customer's Ethernet cable to HMI confirmed server IP ping, completed all configurations in Theiox.
11. Create THEIOX dashboard and design SCADA per customer requirements.
- Create views for alarms, real-time data, process overview, energy meters, feeders.
12. Theiox software is communicating all the module of Theiox configuration, online, Data Log dashboard and Reports are working as per the design
