Principles
This manual is designed as a guide to programming directly on the device, but also provides impor-
tant information about the elements required for programming with the TAPPS2 programming soft-
ware (functions, inputs and outputs, etc.).
Programming with TAPPS2 is always recommended. It enables the programmer to draw (= program)
all program operations in the form of a graphical flow chart and to define parameters for them ac-
cordingly.
Nevertheless it is important to know how to use the "programming mechanisms" on the device itself
in order to be able to make changes on site.
Device overview
The display is used to navigate within the controller, to program functions, read in values, access oth-
er devices, etc.
The dial to the right of the display is used for navigation. A clockwise rotation moves you down the
menu; anti-clockwise moves you up.
Pressing the dial opens the selected menu/allows you to change the selected value/parameter. (=
Enter button)
Pressing the back button below the dial will exit a menu.
Pressing "Enter" or "Back" relates to the value/menu item framed on the display.
The six output LEDs to the right of the display, arranged one above the other, are indicators for the
operation of the switching outputs. A green LED indicates an active output.
The single Status LED to the top right of the dial provides information about the status of the system
and controller. If it flashes green, this means the controller is starting up. A continuous green light
shows normal operation. Orange means there is a "message", for example concerning a collector
overtemperature shutdown. Red means there is a "fault", such as a DL sensor failure.
Briefly pressing the Reset button restarts the device. For a total reset, press and hold the button until
the Status LED stops quickly flashing orange and starts slowly flashing red.
The micro SD card supplied is used for data management of function data and firmware.

Planning basics
To ensure efficient programming, the following order must be adhered to:
Designations
All elements can be designated by selecting a predefined designation from various designation
groups or from the user defined designations.
You can also assign a number from 1 to 16 to every designation.
In the "General settings" menu, all user defined designations from the technician or expert level can
be created, changed or deleted globally.
Shown only in technician or expert mode
1A prerequisite for programming and defining parameters is an accurate hydraulic scheme.
2Using that scheme, you must define what should be controlled and how.
3Based on the required control functions, you must define the sensor positions and draw
them on the scheme.
4
In the next step, all sensors and outputs are assigned the required input and output num-
bers.
As all the sensor inputs and outputs have different characteristics, it is not possible to sim-
ply number them consecutively. The input and output numbers must therefore be assigned
as instructed in this manual.
5After that, the functions are selected and their parameters are programmed.

Principles
8
View with previously defined designations
Entries are made up of letters, numbers and symbols entered consecutively.
Up to 100 different designations can be defined by the user. The maximum number of characters per
designation is 24.
Designations defined previously are available for all elements (inputs, outputs, functions, fixed val-
ues, bus inputs and outputs).

General information on programming parameters
for inputs, outputs, fixed values, functions, default settings, and CAN and DL inputs and outputs.
If you want to discard your entries, select .
Example:
Entering numeric values
The following window is displayed for entering numerical values:
Name of the numeric value, setting range
Current numeric value
The current value is shown (example: 22.0 °C).
The top line shows the name of the value, then the entry range (example: -273.2 – 2000.0 °C).
The value is entered by turning the rotary dial. As there are no symbols for confirming or rejecting a
value, the entry is confirmed by pressing the dial or rejected by using the back button.
If displayed, entries must be confirmed with .

Date / time / location
10
Date / time / location
The entry Date / Time / Location can be found under the general set-
tings.
The system value parameters are displayed first
•Time zone – 01:00 means the time zone "UTC + 1 hour". UTC stands
for "Universal Time Coordinated", also known as GMT (= Greenwich
Mean Time).
•Automatic time change – If "Yes", the time will switch over automati-
cally to summertime according to the specifications of the European
Union.
•Summertime – "Yes" if summertime is active. Can only be changed if
the "Automatic time change" is set to "No"
•Date – The current date (dd.mm.yy).
•Time – The current time
•GPS latitude – Geographical latitude according to GPS (= global posi-
tioning system)
•GPS longitude – Geographical longitude according to GPS
•Sunrise – Time
•High sun – Time
•Sunset – Time
•Solar altitude – Specified in ° as measured from the geometric horizon
(0°), zenith = 90°
•Direction of the sun – Specified in ° as measured from the north (0°)
North = 0° East = 90° South = 180° West = 270°

Date / time / location
11
The values for geographical latitude and longitude are used to determine the location-specific solar
data. That data can be used in functions (e.g. shading function).
The factory default settings for the GPS data are for the location of Technische Alternative Amalien-
dorf, Austria.
Next, the location-specific solar data is displayed.
Power reserve
In the event of power failure, the controller has a power reserve for about 3 days for the time and date.

Inputs
The controller has 6 inputs for analogue signals (measurements), digital signals (ON/OFF) or pulses.
This menu displays the inputs with their designation and the current measurements or status.
Example of a programmed system; input 1 is still unused:
Programming the parameters
Sensor type and measured variable
Once the required input is selected, the sensor type can be defined.
First, you must specify the basic type of input signal.
• Digital
• Analogue
• Pulse
Digital
Select the measured variable:
• Off / On • Off / On (inverse)
• No / Yes • No / Yes (inverse)

Inputs
14
Analogue
Select the measured variable:
• Temperature
• Select the sensor type: KTY (2 kΩ/25°C = formerly Technische Alternative's standard type),
PT 1000 (= current standard type), room sensors: RAS, RASPT, THEL thermocouple, KTY (1
kΩ/25°C), PT 100, PT 500, Ni1000, Ni1000 TK5000
• Solar radiation (sensor type: GBS01)
• Voltage (max. 10V DC)
• Resistance
• Humidity (sensor type: RFS)
• Rain (sensor type: RES)
Also select the process variable for the measured variables Voltage, Current (input 8 only), Resist-
ance:
Then a use scaling for the value range must be defined.
Example: Voltage/global radiation
0.00 V equates to 0 W/m², 10.00 V yields 1500 W/m².
• Dimensionless • Absolute humidity • Amperage mA
• Dimensionless (,1) • Pressure bar, mbar, Pascal • Amperage A
• Performance factor • Litre • Resistance
• Dimensionless (,5) • Cubic metre • Frequency
• Temperature °C • Flow rate (l/min, l/h, l/d, m³/
min, m³/h, m³/d)
• Speed km/h
• Global radiation • Speed m/s
• CO2 content ppm • Output • Degree (angle)
• Percent • Voltage

Inputs
15
Pulse input
Inputs 1 - 6 can capture pulses with max. 10 Hz and a pulse duration of at least 50 ms.
Select the measured variable
Wind speed
A quotient must be entered for "Wind speed". This is the signal frequency at 1 km/h.
Example: The WIS01 wind sensor issues one pulse (=1Hz) per second at a wind speed of 20 km/h.
Therefore the frequency at 1 km/h equals 0.05 Hz.
Setting range: 0,01 – 1,00 Hz
Flow rate
A quotient must be entered for the "Flow rate" measured variable. This is the flow rate in litres per
pulse.
Setting range: 0,1 – 100,0 l/pulse
Pulse
This measured variable is used as the input variable for the "Meter/Counter" function, as a pulse
counter with "Pulses" as its unit.
User defined
For the "User defined" measured variable, both the quotient and the unit must be entered.
Setting range for quotient: 0.00001 – 1000.00000 units/pulse (5 decimal places)
Units: l, kW, km, m, mm, m³.
For l, mm and m³ the unit of time must be selected as well. For km and m the units of time are pre-
defined and cannot be changed.
Example: For the "Energy meter" function, the unit "kW" can be used. In the example above, 0.00125
kWh/pulse was selected, which equates to 800 pulses /kWh.

Inputs
16
Designation
Enter the input designation by selecting a predefined designation from various designation groups
or from the user defined designations.
Sensor type Analogue / Temperature:
• General
• Generator
• Consumer
• Line
• Climate
•User (user defined designations)
You can also assign a number from 1 to 16 to every designation.
Sensor correction
The option of sensor correction is available for the measured variables Temperature, Solar radiation,
Humidity and Rain. The corrected value is utilised for all calculations and displays.
Example: PT1000 temperature sensor
Average
This setting refers to the average of the measurements over time.
Averaging over 0.3 seconds leads to extremely rapid reactions on the part of the display and the unit.
However, this can be expected to cause fluctuations of the value.
A large average value leads to inertia and is only recommended for sensors for the heat meter.
For simple measuring tasks, around 1 - 3 seconds should be selected. For hygienic domestic hot wa-
ter heating with the ultra-fast sensor, 0.3 - 0.5 seconds should be selected.

Inputs
17
Sensor check for analogue sensors
When "Sensor check" is active (setting: "Yes"), a short circuit or a lead break will automatically gen-
erate an error message.
Example:
Sensor error
When "Sensor check" is active, Sensor error is available as an input variable for functions: status "No"
for a sensor that is working correctly and "Yes" for a defect (short circuit or lead break). This allows
the controller to react to the failure of a sensor, for example.
In System values / General, a sensor error for all inputs is available.
If the Standard thresholds are selected, a short circuit will be indicated if the value falls below the
lower measurement limit and a lead break will be indicated if the value exceeds the upper measure-
ment limit.
The Standard values for temperature sensors are -9999.9 °C for a short circuit and 9999.9 °C for a
lead break. Those values are utilised in the internal calculations in the event of an error.
By selecting the thresholds and values appropriately, a fixed value can be specified for the controller
in the event of sensor failure, in order to allow a function to continue operating in emergency mode.
Example: If the temperature value falls below the threshold of -40 °C (= "Threshold value"), a value of
0.0 °C (= "Output value") is issued and displayed for that sensor (fixed hysteresis: 1.0 °C). At the same
time the "Sensor error’ status is set to "Yes".
Example: Sensor 1 has fallen below -40 °C, so 0 °C is issued as the measurement, and a sensor error
is displayed at the same time.

Inputs
18
Resistance table for various sensor types
The standard type used by Technische Alternative is PT1000.
KTY (2 kΩ) was the factory-fitted standard type until 2010/2011.
PT100, PT500: As these sensors are more susceptible to external interference, their sensor leads
must be screened and the Average time should be increased. Nevertheless the accuracy specified
in the technical data for PT1000 sensors cannot be guaranteed.
NTC sensors
For evaluating the NTC sensors, the R25 value and the beta value must be
specified.
The nominal resistance R25 is always based on 25 °C.
The beta value refers to the characteristic of an NTC sensor in relation to
2 resistance values.
Beta is a material constant and can be calculated from the manufacturer's resistance table using the
following formula:
As the beta value is not a constant over the total temperature curve, the anticipated limits of the
measuring range must be determined (e.g. for a cylinder sensor from +10 °C to +100 °C or for an out-
side sensor from -20 °C to +40 °C).
All temperatures in the formula must be given as absolute temperatures in K (Kelvin) (e.g. +20 °C =
273.15 K + 20 K = 293.15 K)

Outputs

Outputs
The controller has 10 outputs.
The entry Outputs in the main menu takes you to an overview.
Outputs are shown with their name and current status.
Example:
Programming the parameters
Once the required output is selected, the output type can be defined.
First, you must specify the basic output type.
Output type
The following different output types exist, although they are not available for selection for all outputs:
• Switching output
• Output pair
• 0-10V
• PWM

Outputs
20
Outputs 1+2, 3+4, 5+6, 7+8 and 9+10 as an output pair
These outputs can be used as single switching outputs or as an output pair together with the follow-
ing switching output (e.g. to control a mixer drive).
The output pairs 1+2, 3+4 and 5+6 are available as standard. The output pairs 7+8 and 9+10 require
the use of auxiliary relays (relay modules).
The output pair is only programmed at the first of the affected outputs (e.g. output 1 for output
pair 1+2).
Runtime
The mixer runtime must be entered for every output pair.
If a mixer runtime of 0 is entered, the output pair will not be utilised.
Runtime limit
When the runtime limit is active, output pair control is terminated if the re-
maining runtime of 20 minutes has counted down to 0. The remaining
runtime is reloaded if the output pair is switched to manual mode, is
switched by a message (to dominant ON or OFF), changes its direction of
control, or if enabling is switched from OFF to ON.
If the runtime limit is deactivated, the remaining runtime only counts down to 10 seconds and output
pair control is not terminated.
If two different functions act on the two outputs in the output pair simultaneously, the output with
the lower number ("OPEN" command) will be activated.
Exception: the "Message" function – if the simultaneous command comes from this function, the
output with the higher number ("CLOSE" command) will be activated.
