Operating instructions for Pool control-40.net filter control unit
Page: 31 (34)
This page is where you can set how long the filter pump is meant to be
inactive while the backwash slide valves are operating.
You can also specify here whether the main drain valve is meant to be
opened during backwashing.
This is the page where you can make advanced settings for the heat
exchanger heating system.
The temperature limit defines how high you are allowed to set the required
water temperature for the swimming pool.
The minimum heating time actually defines a switching interval for limiting
how often the heat exchanger switches on/off when the water temperature
readings are fluctuating.
You can also set here whether the temperature control has priority over the
filter timer, i.e. the temperature control can switch on the pump even
outside the programmed filtration times.
You also have the option to set an after-run time, which specifies how long
the filter pump continues to run after the heating is switched off in order to
take residual heat away from the heat exchanger.
This is the page where you can make advanced settings for the solar
heating system.
The temperature increase for solar heating defines how much the pool
water can be heated in solar mode above the specified required
temperature in order to store energy for times without incident sunlight.
The ON and OFF solar differences are the temperature differences
between solar absorber and pool water at which the solar heating is
switched on and off again respectively.
The minimum solar time actually defines a switching interval for limiting
how often the solar heating switches on/off when the temperature readings
are fluctuating.
You can also set here whether the solar temperature control has priority
over the filter timer, i.e. the temperature control can switch on the pump
even outside the programmed filtration times.
Interfacing with building automation systems
The POOLcontrol-40.net contains an HTTP web server, which is designed to allow the control unit to be
operated using any web browser from any web-enabled terminal.
The HTML pages generated by this web server can also be accessed by a building automation system and
can be interpreted for display on EIB visualization devices. For the purpose of controlling the
POOLcontrol-40.net, the building automation system can generate IP messages, in the same way as they
would be generated by a web browser when you click on controls on the HTML pages. In other words, the
building automation system must emulate a web browser.
Instead of using directly the predefined HTML pages designed by
for displaying on web browsers, you (as
user) can also design your own control file to obtain the data you require in "custom" form, and save this file on
the SD card in the POOLcontrol-40.net. This means that the interface to the building automation system is
then unaffected by potential design changes to the
HTML pages.
This control file must be saved as an ASCII text file with the extension ".HTM" in the "HTML" folder on the SD
card. The file name must not exceed 8 characters in length. Although it has the "HTM" extension, this file need
not necessarily be a valid HTML file, but can be formatted to suit the requirements of the building automation
system.
This control file can contain variables in the format "$$nnnn", which the web server then replaces with the data
that is currently valid. A list of available variables appears at the end of this document.
