Hardware/General
Function
The control and monitoring interface (abbreviation: C.M.I.) is a web server that can create the
connection between a LAN network and the controller UVR1611 with its CAN bus compo-
nents. This device makes it possible to load function data into CAN bus devices, update and
remote control them, illustrate online diagrams and log data. Access can be local directly
from the PC/network, via Internet and the C.M.I. web portal or via Internet through port for-
warding to the router. Data logging of devices with DL Bus is also possible. It was ensured to
make commissioning as easy as possible for computer novices as well.
Power supply
Operation of the C.M.I. absolutely requires 12V supply from CAN bus or a12V-power
pack. Power is not supplied via DL bus. To safeguard the power supply where there are
more CAN bus members (without their own power supply), the use of a 12V power supply is
absolutely necessary. Data retention is also ensured without power supply.
CAN bus
Next to data transfer, the CAN bus offers also the possibility to directly access the devices in
the CAN network from the PC via browser.
Termination
Correct termination of the buses is important for use of the CAN bus to connect several
devices. The network must have terminations at the ends of the lines. For this, the C.M.I.
(next to the connections) and each CAN bus device have an appropriate jumper (term).
The CAN bus must never be set up in a star shape from one node or clamp to several devic-
es. Rather, the correct topology is a bus line from the first device (with terminal) to the sec-
ond and so forth. The final bus connection has the terminal bridge.
Incorrect Correct
Additional information about the correct set-up of a CAN bus network (e.g.: cable
selection, overvoltage protection, …) is provided in the manual of controller UVR1611.

Hardware/General

DL bus
Every controller of the series ESR (ESR21 version 5.0 and higher), UVR and HZR has a data
output DL that forms, together with the (sensor) earth, a two-pole data line (DL bus). The
C.M.I. has 2 DL inputs for simultaneous measurement recording of up to two controllers.
Controller 1
C.M.I.
Controller 2
Any cable with a cross section of 0.75 mm² and a length of up to max. 30 m can be used for
the data line (e.g. twin-strand). For longer cables, we recommend the use of shielded cable
whereby the cable shielding must be connected with the sensor earth.
If two controllers are recorded with the C.M.I., separately shielded cables must be used as
protection against crosstalk. The data link for the DL bus must likewise never be run in one
cable with the CAN bus.
WARNING:
With controllers UVR1611K and UVR1611S, output 14 (DL) can be used either as data
line or as switch output (with extra auxiliary relay). For data logging via DL bus, output 14
must therefore always be defined as a “Data line” in the “Outputs” menu.
With the controllers UVR1611 of the E-series (“board version“), output 14 is simultane-
ously used as switch output OUTPUT 14 and data line (DL bus). For activation, the output
must be parameterised as a “Switch output”, even if the data link is to be activated. For
activation of the data line, the query “UVR1611E:” must additionally be answered with ”yes”
(see additional manual for UVR1611 E).
UVR1611 controllers from version A2.16 additionally enable the recording of network
input variables, which are handled by the C.M.I. as a virtual second UVR1611. When
parameterising output 14 as a “Data line”, the menu option NETW.EG.=>DL.: must be an-
swered with yes. Recording of network variables is therefore not possible, if two controllers
are connected with the C.M.I. (this note applies only to data recording via DL bus).
The scope for data recording of this 2nd virtual UVR1611 in
the menu “Settings/Data logging“ of the C.M.I.s must be set
like this:

Making the connections
Connections must be made in the following sequence
1. Connection LAN cable
2. Connection CAN bus or DL bus cable
3. Optional: power supply with power unit
The POWER LED now has to be green permanently.
IP-Address
Access requires an IP address.
Network with DHCP server (standard)
The network settings are determined automatically.
Network without DHCP server
Direct C.M.I. connection–Windows PC
DHCP must be activated on the PC.PC and C.M.I. automatically gets an IP address this way.
This process can take more than 1 minute.
Fixed IP address
1. Create a text file with the name fix_ip.txt with the required IP address in the root di-
rectory of the SD card. The content of this file must be only an IP address (example:
192.168.0.10) and "Enter".
2. Insert the SD card in the C.M.I.
3. During the next start, the C.M.I. adopts this IP address and deletes the txt file on the
SD card.
The network settings must then be configured locally (C.M.I. menu Settings/Ethernet).
The LAN LED now has to flash green or be green permanently.
