1. Product Description
SMARTCONTROL: Diverse Data Collector and Data Messenger
The SMARTCONTROL renders energy consumption measurable without delay in a detailed fashion, and thus
controllable. This, in turn, is the basic prerequisite for a great variety of measures for the reduction of energy
consumption and costs, for example with regard to:
Optimized utilization
Contracting
Component modernization
Conversion
The SMARTCONTROL is an inexpensive, user-friendly, easy to integrate data logging system.
This is the prerequisite for quickly establishing efficient, sustainable, widespread energy management for
industrial systems, buildings and properties.
Amongst other data, the SMARTCONTROL is capable of recording the following:
Meter readings (electrical power, heat, water, gas etc.)
Temperatures (inside, outside, inlet, return etc.)
Statuses (burner and pump on-times etc.)
Analog signals from external signal converters and measuring transducers (pressure, humidity etc.)
M-Bus protocol (up to 450 meters), Modbus RTU / TCP, SBus, CLBus and LON
One of the system’s important advantages is its ability to access all relevant data at any time – quickly and
conveniently.
We’re at your disposal and can provide you with solutions if you want to make actual energy consumption more
transparent in the future, and optimize it as well.

(available as a shield bus with the SMARTCONTROL/IP65).
Large cable diameters, at least 0.6 mm (recommended: 0.8 mm, max. 1.5 mm)
Keep cables as short as possible.
Ferrite beads attached to both cable ends
Do not lay cables parallel to heavy current conductors!
7.2. Analog Inputs (current/voltage)
The connector plugs are designated, and must be connected, as shown below (polarity as specified):
+ = Measuring signal
- = All eight inputs have a common ground
which also functions as the negative terminal.
They are not electrically isolated.
7.2.1. Selecting Relay Outputs / Analog Inputs
The 6 analog inputs, A0 through A5 (terminals 1 through 12), are intended for the connection of measuring
transducers (e.g. pressure sensor, atmospheric humidity sensor etc.) with 0 to 10 V or 0 to 20 mA output signals.
Terminals 13 through 16 can be used either as relay outputs K1 and K2 or analog inputs A6 and A7. Jumper series
JP6 determines whether a relay output or an analog input will be used. The relay output mode is the default
value.
Series 1+2: A6/K1
Series 3+4: A7/K2
7.2.2. Setting Analog Inputs to Current/Voltage Measurement
Voltage or current measurement is selected with jumper series JP1. These jumpers are assigned to the respective
analog input (from left to right: A0 to A7), and are set to the voltage measurement operating mode (0 to 10 V) at
the factory. In order to measure a current signal (0 to 20 mA), the blue jumper which corresponds to the analog
input must be inserted as follows:
This example shows a voltage measurement at A0-A3 and
A5. A4 us used as a current measuring input. With this layout
for the JP6 series, A6 and A7 are relay outputs K1 and K2.
Internal resistance for voltage measurement: 200 kOhm, for current measurement: 249 Ohm

Note:
If an input is used for 0/4 to 20 mA measurement, reconfigure the corresponding input with
SMARTCONTROL Manager software. The default setting is the voltage measurement mode in this
case as well [see details in section on SMARTCONTROL Manager, AD converter].
7.3. Temperature Inputs
The 8 temperature inputs, T0 through T7 (terminals 17 through 32) are used to record temperatures. Only Pt1000
sensors with 2-wire connection may be used. The measuring range is -50 to +170 °C.
Tip:
If greater accuracy is required, class 1/3 B sensors can be used.
The connector plugs are designated, and must be connected, as shown below (polarity is arbitrary):
Note:
Cable length and wire cross-section have a significant influence on measuring accuracy. Connect
each sensor separately with two wires each. Ground the sensor cable shield at one end to the
SMARTCONTROL housing.
►An offset can be additionally entered to compensate for deviations by means of software
[see temperature inputs in SMARTCONTROL Manager manual].
►Avoid cable lengths of greater than 20 meters, because the temperature coefficient of the
laid copper cable is otherwise no longer negligible.
7.4. Digital Inputs (pulse / status / tariff / time synchronization)
The 8 digital inputs, IS0 through IS7 (terminals 33 through 48) are intended for use as meter or status inputs
(current, gas and water meters, door and window contacts etc.). Input S7 can also be used for time
synchronization.
7.4.1. Setting the Operating Mode (passive/active) of the Digital Input
Pulse generators / status signals with their own power supply (active, with electrical isolation) or pulse generators /
status signals with open collector / floating contact output (passive, no electrical isolation, e.g. reed) can be
connected.
The signal type or operating mode is set with jumper series JP2, which determines electrical configuration. These
jumpers (red jumpers included in scope of delivery) are assigned to the respective digital inputs (from left to right:
IS0 to IS7), and are set to the passive operating mode at the factory.

This example shows the configuration for 6 passive
digital inputs (S0, S1, S3 and S5-S7) and 2 active inputs
(S2 and S4).
Warning:
Polarity is determined by the jumper setting.
Polarity must be correct!
“Active” jumper setting
“Passive” jumper setting
Terminal a= pulse input / status +
Terminal b= pulse input / status –
Terminal a= contact - / GND
Terminal b= contact + / open collector
Connection of, for example, pulse generators with
their own 12 to 24 V power supply / output signal
with load capacity of at least 15 mA
Connection of, for example, pulse generators with
reed contact and a minimum contact / open collector
load capacity of 15m A
** Electrical isolation **
GND connected to each other
** No electrical isolation **
Sample terminal assignments (S2 and S4 active , rest
passive):
S0a GND, S0b +(as well as S1, S3, S5-S7)
S2a +, S2b –(as well as S4)
7.4.2. Configuring the Digital Inputs
If a digital input is used as a status input (e.g. door contact, burner on-time etc.), a status command must be set
up with SMARTCONTROL Manager software in order to assure that every change to the input signal is recorded
[see section entitled SMARTCONTROL Manager, Status Command Type].
These tariff and synchronizing inputs are configured with SMARTCONTROL Manager software (see the “Meters”
section in the SMARTCONTROL manual.
It’s also possible to record tariff data, for example peak tariff (HT) and off-peak tariff (NT). There are 3 tariff
inputs: IS1, IS3 and IS5.
A 0 or 1 signal applied there (floating relay, peak/off-peak tariff signal) specifies whether assigned inputs IS0, IS2
and IS4 will be counted as peak or off-peak tariff. For example, tariff input IS1 specifies whether pulses from IS0
will be allocated to HT or NT.
