•Control of supply and exhaust fans in constant air flow (CA), constant pressure (CPs) and
constant airflow linked to a 0-10V signal (LS) mode.
•Management of 6 time slots.
•Default, set point and pressure alarms.
•Management of airflows in case of fire alarm.
•BOOST function that helps to force the supply and exhaust airflows to a value set beforehand-
overriding all configurations and conditions.
•Automatic management of the 100% bypass for free cooling.
•Automatic management of the opening and closing of valves mounted on the suction side.
•Anti-frost protection of the heat recovery exchanger by modulation of the supply airflow or by
regulating the power of the pre-heating electric coil (KWin).
•Regulation of the post-heating water (NV) or electric (KWout) coils to maintain a constant supply
temperature.
The following options can be combined with the TAC4 DG control board:
•Option SAT TAC4 BA/KW:
Regulation of 2 external heat exchangers (hot and/or cold).
•Option RC TAC4:
Local remote control that can be used for the configuration, display and control of the TAC4 unit
to which it is connected.
•Option SAT3:

3 Operating principle
The TAC4 TCP/IP and GPRS modules are automated units with a built-in web server. Once programmed,
the module contains software composed of web pages used for the configuration, control and display of
TAC4 units connected to this module.
Basic diagram:
= MODBUS RTU communication
= Access to the TAC4 MODULE web pages.
There are different possibilities:
- Internet connection via Ethernet (TCP/IP)
- Internet connection via GPRS
- Intranet (local) connection via Ethernet (TCP/IP)
4 Which module to choose – TCP/IP or GPRS?
The TAC4 TCP/IP module can be used to:
- Access the TAC4 module web pages via the Ethernet connection
- Send alarm messages by e-mail
The TAC4 GPRS module can be used to:
- Access the TAC4 Module web pages via the Ethernet connection
- Access the TAC4 Module web pages via GPRS *
- Send alarm messages by e-mail via Ethernet
- Send alarm messages by e-mail via GPRS *

5 Configuration and programming of the TAC4 TCP/IP or GPRS
module
The TAC4 TCP/IP or GPRS is delivered non-programmed.
Programming is carried out in two steps:
- Entry of configuration settings: via the website http://TAC4.atmdata.be (you will need an SD
card, maximum 2GB (not supplied)).
- Programming of the module using an SD card: follow the procedure in paragraph 5.2.
Configuration file 5.1
The configuration settings such as the IP address, the access data, the use of a SIM card (or not) or the
data of an SMTP server to send e-mail for instance, must be entered on the website:
http://TAC4.atmdata.be.
A configuration file “plug&go.bin” containing all the settings of your TAC4 TCP/IP or GPRS module will be
generated from this site. Save this file on an SD card.
Use an SD card with a maximum capacity of 2GB (SDHC cards with a capacity of 4GB or more are not
recognized by the module).
Programming of the TAC4 TCP/IP or GPRS module from the SD card 5.2
1) Remove the TAC4 TCP/IP or GPRS module from its support using the mounting screws.
2) The programming must be carried out on a “bare” TAC4 TCP/IP or GPRS module. So make sure you
unplug:
- The 24VDC power supply terminal block
- The RS 485 communication terminal block
- The Ethernet cable
- The antenna
- The SIM card (if present)
3) Insert the SD card containing the configuration file in (2) (figure 1), press it as far as possible, so that
it does not exceed the Module.
The SD card is difficult to remove. You will need a pair of long-nosed pliers or to stick
a sticker to get a hold of the SD card (see Figure 1).
4) Plug the 24VDC power supply terminal block to the Module (see Figure 3). The module will detect
automatically the presence of a new “Plug&go.bin” file and launch the loading of the programme.
The PGM LED stops blinking (ON or OFF) during the loading of the programme (about 1 minute).
When the programming is finished, the LED starts blinking again (2 blinks per second).
Once the module has been programmed, the SD card is no longer necessary. Shut down the 24VDC
power supply and remove it from the TAC4 TCP/IP and GPRS module.

8.6.1
The “Configuration” tab is used to add/remove and to address units on the network.
Each TAC4 unit is factory programmed with the address Modbus 1. To network several units, the
different units must be re-addressed.
There are several methods possible for re-addressing the units:
1) By connecting directly on each unit using a TAC4 RC:
Change address via SETUP ADVANCE
2) Via the web pages of the TAC4 TCP/IP or GPRS module by supplying one unit at a time:
Connect all the TAC4 units in a network but supply only one unit at a time. You will then only
have one unit with the address 1 on the network. You can then change its address via the web
pages, then supply the next unit to change its address and so forth.
3) Via the web pages of the TAC4 TCP/IP or GPRS module by adding a unit to the TAC4 network
each time:
Connect a unit to the network physically and change the address. Then add a unit at a time to
the network and change the address.
Once all the units are present, scan the network. The TAC4 TCP/IP or GPRS module
will list all the units present on the network. You can then enter a unit name.
Overview
8.6.2
