If your global (static or currently used dynamic) IP address is, for example,
80.200.50.6
, then simply enter
http://80.200.50.6:8080
in your web browser (we recommend that you create a bookmark in the browser) in
order to access the controller from the Internet by means of the HTTP protocol.
SETTING OF THE CONTROL FUNCTIONS
The setting of the controller consists of several steps of varying significance – the setting of inputs, outputs,
activation and the setting of function blocks and other presets.
After the web interface has been displayed in the browser, we can proceed to set the temperature
inputs. If the temperature inputs are connected to the controller, the relevant temperatures and
green indicators signalling the function of the sensor should already be shown. If more sensors
(especially digital sensors) are used, we will probably not recognize at first sight which sensor belongs
to which function and therefore we will proceed in the following way for every sensor:
a)
we will heat the sensor by touching or in another way
b)
according to the change in temperature in the web interface we will find out which sensor it is
and we will write the caption on the right side next to the sensor designation (T1-11).
If all physically connected digital sensors are not shown or if we have other doubts, we will use the
button “Search for digital temperature sensors” in the “Settings” tag. The controller will again try to
find the available sensors on the bus.
Caution:
If we add or remove a digital sensor, the function “Search for digital temperature sensors”
will order the sensors according to internal priorities and therefore after every such change it will be
necessary to check the assignment of the captions to the sensors and the assignment of the sensors to
the individual control blocks (see point 4)!
Immediately after completing the configuration, we will write the assigned captions in the controller
by means of the button “Write”.
We proceed in an analogous way when setting the digital inputs. If we do not remember the
connection, it will be necessary to activate the input temporarily, this will switch on the blue indicator
of the input connection and we will be able to assign a caption. After finishing the configuration, we
will again write the assigned captions in the controller by the button “Write”.
When setting the outputs, we can use the “Output test” function in the “Settings” tab.
Before doing
so we should, however, again check the connection of the outputs according to the instructions
specified in the Chapter “Instructions for Installation of the Device”.
We will test the individual
outputs and assign the captions. After completing the configuration of the outputs, we will again write
the assigned captions in the controller with the “Write” button.
After setting the inputs and outputs, we can proceed to the activation and setting of the individual
control blocks. Every block is activated by a ticking box located on the left next to the name of the
block, e.g. on the left next to the text “Heat pump 1” in the “Heat pumps” tab. By ticking this box the
entire block will change its colour and the configuration field will become open to changes. In
addition, it is necessary to assign the inputs and outputs in every block; this is done by means of drop-
down menus designated as “
Input – xxx”
or “
Output – xxx”
. In the drop-down menus the inputs and
outputs are already designated with captions, it is therefore advisable to have all the inputs and
outputs designated appropriately before starting the configuration of the blocks.
A control block will
not work correctly or it will not work at all, if it is not activated and if incorrect inputs and outputs
have been assigned.
The same input and output can be assigned to 2 or more drop-down menus in
different control blocks, in the case of the output the resulting state is then a logical sum (function
OR), or possibly in the case of the actuation of the output in the PWM mode (see the note below) it is
