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.
