1. Product Description

SMARTCONTROL: Diverse Data Collector and Data Messenger

The SMARTCONTROL renders energy consumption measurable without delay in a detailed fashion, and thus
controllable. This, in turn, is the basic prerequisite for a great variety of measures for the reduction of energy
consumption and costs, for example with regard to:

 Optimized utilization
 Contracting
 Component modernization
 Conversion

The SMARTCONTROL is an inexpensive, user-friendly, easy to integrate data logging system.

This is the prerequisite for quickly establishing efficient, sustainable, widespread energy management for
industrial systems, buildings and properties.

Amongst other data, the SMARTCONTROL is capable of recording the following:

 Meter readings (electrical power, heat, water, gas etc.)
 Temperatures (inside, outside, inlet, return etc.)
 Statuses (burner and pump on-times etc.)
 Analog signals from external signal converters and measuring transducers (pressure, humidity etc.)
 M-Bus protocol (up to 450 meters), Modbus RTU / TCP, SBus, CLBus and LON

One of the system’s important advantages is its ability to access all relevant data at any time – quickly and
conveniently.

We’re at your disposal and can provide you with solutions if you want to make actual energy consumption more
transparent in the future, and optimize it as well.

 Use shielded cables only. If possible, connect the shield to a separate ground contact

(available as a shield bus with the SMARTCONTROL/IP65).

 Large cable diameters, at least 0.6 mm (recommended: 0.8 mm, max. 1.5 mm)
 Keep cables as short as possible.
 Ferrite beads attached to both cable ends
 Do not lay cables parallel to heavy current conductors!

7.2. Analog Inputs (current/voltage)

The connector plugs are designated, and must be connected, as shown below (polarity as specified):

+ = Measuring signal

- = All eight inputs have a common ground
which also functions as the negative terminal.
They are not electrically isolated.

7.2.1. Selecting Relay Outputs / Analog Inputs

The 6 analog inputs, A0 through A5 (terminals 1 through 12), are intended for the connection of measuring
transducers (e.g. pressure sensor, atmospheric humidity sensor etc.) with 0 to 10 V or 0 to 20 mA output signals.
Terminals 13 through 16 can be used either as relay outputs K1 and K2 or analog inputs A6 and A7. Jumper series
JP6 determines whether a relay output or an analog input will be used. The relay output mode is the default
value.

Series 1+2: A6/K1

Series 3+4: A7/K2

7.2.2. Setting Analog Inputs to Current/Voltage Measurement

Voltage or current measurement is selected with jumper series JP1. These jumpers are assigned to the respective
analog input (from left to right: A0 to A7), and are set to the voltage measurement operating mode (0 to 10 V) at
the factory. In order to measure a current signal (0 to 20 mA), the blue jumper which corresponds to the analog
input must be inserted as follows:

This example shows a voltage measurement at A0-A3 and
A5. A4 us used as a current measuring input. With this layout
for the JP6 series, A6 and A7 are relay outputs K1 and K2.

Internal resistance for voltage measurement: 200 kOhm, for current measurement: 249 Ohm

19 GMC-I Messtechnik GmbH

Note:

If an input is used for 0/4 to 20 mA measurement, reconfigure the corresponding input with
SMARTCONTROL Manager software. The default setting is the voltage measurement mode in this
case as well [see details in section on SMARTCONTROL Manager, AD converter].

7.3. Temperature Inputs

The 8 temperature inputs, T0 through T7 (terminals 17 through 32) are used to record temperatures. Only Pt1000
sensors with 2-wire connection may be used. The measuring range is -50 to +170 °C.

Tip:

If greater accuracy is required, class 1/3 B sensors can be used.

The connector plugs are designated, and must be connected, as shown below (polarity is arbitrary):

Note:

Cable length and wire cross-section have a significant influence on measuring accuracy. Connect
each sensor separately with two wires each. Ground the sensor cable shield at one end to the

SMARTCONTROL housing.

► An offset can be additionally entered to compensate for deviations by means of software

[see temperature inputs in SMARTCONTROL Manager manual].

► Avoid cable lengths of greater than 20 meters, because the temperature coefficient of the

laid copper cable is otherwise no longer negligible.

7.4. Digital Inputs (pulse / status / tariff / time synchronization)

The 8 digital inputs, IS0 through IS7 (terminals 33 through 48) are intended for use as meter or status inputs
(current, gas and water meters, door and window contacts etc.). Input S7 can also be used for time
synchronization.

7.4.1. Setting the Operating Mode (passive/active) of the Digital Input

Pulse generators / status signals with their own power supply (active, with electrical isolation) or pulse generators /
status signals with open collector / floating contact output (passive, no electrical isolation, e.g. reed) can be
connected.

The signal type or operating mode is set with jumper series JP2, which determines electrical configuration. These
jumpers (red jumpers included in scope of delivery) are assigned to the respective digital inputs (from left to right:
IS0 to IS7), and are set to the passive operating mode at the factory.

20 GMC-I Messtechnik GmbH

This example shows the configuration for 6 passive
digital inputs (S0, S1, S3 and S5-S7) and 2 active inputs
(S2 and S4).

Warning:

Polarity is determined by the jumper setting.
Polarity must be correct!

S2a +, S2b – (as well as S4)

7.4.2. Configuring the Digital Inputs

If a digital input is used as a status input (e.g. door contact, burner on-time etc.), a status command must be set
up with SMARTCONTROL Manager software in order to assure that every change to the input signal is recorded
[see section entitled SMARTCONTROL Manager, Status Command Type].

These tariff and synchronizing inputs are configured with SMARTCONTROL Manager software (see the “Meters”

section in the SMARTCONTROL manual.

It’s also possible to record tariff data, for example peak tariff (HT) and off-peak tariff (NT). There are 3 tariff
inputs: IS1, IS3 and IS5.

A 0 or 1 signal applied there (floating relay, peak/off-peak tariff signal) specifies whether assigned inputs IS0, IS2
and IS4 will be counted as peak or off-peak tariff. For example, tariff input IS1 specifies whether pulses from IS0
will be allocated to HT or NT.

21 GMC-I Messtechnik GmbH

7.5. Broken Cable Detection (Namur)

Broken cable detection (Namur) can be used for passive pulse sources.

7.5.1. Mode of Operation

The passive digital input records, for instance, meter data.

The analog input is configured in the SMARTCONTROL Manager as a 0 to 10 V voltage input. As soon as the
measured voltage falls below 0.2 V, this is indicated as a broken sensor.

Details regarding programming are included in the SMARTCONTROL Manager manual.

Note:

 The alarm limit and the resistor values must be adapted to the system.
 Long cables can only be used under certain circumstances with this circuit layout, and

must thus be carefully configured.

7.5.2. Connection Example

A SMARTCONTROL digital input, in this example 33/34, is set to the passive operating mode with the help of
jumpers. An analog input, in this example 1/2, is set to the voltage measuring mode for 0 to 10 V with the help of
jumpers.

A 15 kOhm resistor is installed at the pulse generator, and 1.5 and 1 kOhm resistors are installed at the
SMARTCONTROL.

A 1 kOhm resistor is installed at the SMARTCONTROL. If a SMARTCONTROL with 12 V power pack is used, a

0.47 kOhm resistor must be installed.

Tip:

Due to the higher measuring voltage, a SMARTCONTROL with 24 V power pack is recommended.

8. Communication

8.1. Protocols

Each SMARTCONTROL interface can use several protocols. Simultaneous use of several protocols at the same
interface is not possible. The interfaces’ functions are configured in the SMARTCONTROL Manager.

8.1.1. RS 232 / M-Bus

RS 232 / M-Bus is available at terminals (7), (9) and (10) [see section 6. , “Connections Overview,”] as a 9-pin D­Sub plug. M-Bus compatible devices can also be connected to these terminals.

Supported baud rates (RS 232 and M-Bus): 300, 2400, 9600 and 19,200 baud

Note:

The following conditions must be fulfilled in order to allow for use of M-Bus devices:
M-Bus level converter with RS 232 port or optionally available M-Bus level converter 80 socket

module (article no. Z301Y) for the Gossen Metrawatt SMARTCONTROL V3.
Protocol: DIN EN 13757-3 (previously EN1434-3)
Unlimited readout interval (e.g. every 15 minutes)
M-Bus devices should be preprogrammed at the factory with unique addresses.
Maximum cable lengths for M-Bus networks must also be adhered to.

M-Bus level converters are available for 3, 20, 30, 60 or 250 devices. Up to 480 M-Bus devices can be addressed
by the SMARTCONTROL via M-Bus repeaters. However, we recommend limiting the size of M-Bus networks to
250 devices per SMARTCONTROL (interference, management, operating reliability).

8.1.2. M-Bus Routing Function

With the help of MR firmware, the SMARTCONTROL can function as a router within an existing M-Bus network
[see section 9.1. , “Firmware Options”]. This is necessary in the event that the read-out intervals of the previous
installation are inadequate for energy management.

Interfaces (7) M-Bus and (9) FIELD2 are used to this end [see section 6. , “Connections Overview,”]. The level
converter is connected to interface (7), and the building management system to interface (9).

Access to the M-Bus by the building management system remains intact – the building management system has
precedence.

8.1.3. RS 485 / Modbus RTU / Modbus TCP

RS 485 available at terminal (12) as 3-pole connection [see section 6. , “Connections Overview,”]. Firmware
option MO is required to this end [see section 9.1. , “Firmware Options”].

Supported baud rates (RS 232 and M-Bus): 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600 and 19,200 baud.

Modbus TCP is also supported. Terminal (11) is used to this end.

24 GMC-I Messtechnik GmbH

Note:

Interfaces (9) FIELD1 and (12) RS 485 (RS 485/1 for V3) are wired in parallel [see section

6. , “Connections Overview,”]. Using different protocols at the same time may result in errors
and bus interference.

The assignment for terminal (12) is printed in the SMARTCONTROL housing as A through C, and the conductors
are identified as 1 through 3 at the plug. A/1 (+), B/2 (-), C/3 (equipotential bonding).

Warning:

The Mod-Bus specification defines power supply (A –, B +) differently than the RS 485
specification (A +, B –).

Before connecting, determine which specification applies to the device to be connected!

Note:

Do not use terminal C (data ground) if the modules are supplied with power from the
SMARTCONTROL! This terminal is used exclusively to compensate for extraneous voltages from
other devices. It is thus not suitable for supplying power to the devices!

Topology: Under no circumstances may branches be laid with lengths of more than 2 meters.

Note:

Wiring is always looped through 1:1 from module to module.
The RS 485 bus has to be terminated at its ends with two resistors. In the case of short
distances (< 10 m), termination can be omitted. In the case of larger installations,
termination must be carefully executed: under no circumstances may bus voltage drop to
below 0.3 V. Under normal conditions, termination can be set up directly on the PCB with
the green JP4 jumper [see item (13) in section 6. , “Connections Overview,”] (220/110
Ohm). In special cases, lower resistance values are required (must be laid out correctly by
qualified personnel).

8.1.4. ASCII Fieldbus Modules

Fieldbus modules which communicate via the ASCII protocol can be connected to terminals (9) and (12) [see
section 6. , “Connections Overview,”]. Firmware with option AA is required to this end [see section 9.1. ,

“Firmware Options”].
Please note that the two interfaces are parallel connected.
Supported baud rates: 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 19,200, 38,400 and 57,600 baud.

25 GMC-I Messtechnik GmbH

8.1.5. TCP/IP

The integrated Ethernet interface included as standard equipment works with the usual TCP/IP protocol at
10/100 MBit per second. The SMARTCONTROL can be read out, and its parameters can be configured, via this
interface. The TCP/IP address can either be retrieved from a DHCP server or statically assigned.

Tip:

A crossover cable is required when connecting the SMARTCONTROL directly to a PC (included with
the SMARTCONTROL).

Note:

Static addresses are absolutely essential for the creation of a SMARTCONTROL network with
several devices which are required to communicate with each other (data / measured value
exchange)!

A public IP address is required for readout via the Internet, and port 2083 (firewall) must be open
or routed to SMARTCONTROL.

Internet access must be set up with a flat rate (permanent connection). Required hardware
includes a DSL modem and a router.

In the case of a non-static public IP address, the router must support dynamic DNS service. As a
rule, DynDNS is available on the Internet free of charge.

Use of a VPN channel (virtual private network) must be made available via separate hardware.

8.1.6. Additional Protocols

The SMARTCONTROL is compatible with other protocols as well such as CLBus (IEC1107, IEC62056-21), LON (via
optional LON interface). Relevant information is available upon request.

26 GMC-I Messtechnik GmbH

8.2. Communication Modules (no longer available)

Note:

Before beginning any work, disconnect the entire system from all sources of electrical power

Never insert a socket module when the system is switched on [refer to section 9.3. , “Shutting
Down and Restarting SMARTCONTROL”].

Electrostatic charging must be avoided.
Provide for electrostatic discharging of personnel and tools before beginning work.
Before inserting the module, make sure that the correct operating voltage has been selected for

the respective module.

Warning:

If the supply voltage setting is incorrect, the module may malfunction, or it
may be damaged.

Note:

Jumper JP5 [see item 23 in section 6. , “Connections Overview,”] is
used to configure the ISDN/PHONE-RJ45 connector jack to
analog/ISDN operation. Make sure that the jumper configuration is
correct before initial start-up. A jumper must be plugged onto both
JP5 pins identified analog/ISDN. The jumpers have to be removed
for GSM/GPRS or Bluetooth modules.

8.2.1. Applicable to All Modules

The SMARTCONTROL’s communication interface can be adapted to your requirements via the socket slot (DIL64)
[see item 25 in section 6. , “Connections Overview,”]. These are optional and are not included with the
SMARTCONTROL. The following options are available: analog modem, ISDN, GSM/GPRS and Bluetooth.

The module’s operating voltage is determined by jumper series JP3, “PWR_MOD1”, at the left above the modem

slot [see item 25 in section 6. , “Connections Overview,”].

The default setting is 3.3 V for operation with analog modems and ISDN modules.

Otherwise, insert jumper JP3 such that the required operating voltage is selected.

27 GMC-I Messtechnik GmbH

8.2.2. Module Installation

Unpack the new module and make sure that all of the pins are straight. The module is inserted into the socket
provided to this end [see item 25 in section 6. , “Connections Overview,”].

Tip:

If a previously inserted modules needs to be removed, pull it out carefully. Grip the module at the
left and right-hand sides with both hands underneath the PCB, and pull it out slowly and carefully.
The module must not be tilted during removal.

Jack A in the socket, identified with a white arrow, serves as a point of orientation on the PCB. The point of
orientation on the module is pin A.

Carefully insert the module. Pin A on the module must be inserted into jack A at the socket. Make sure that all of
the other pins are also inserted in to their corresponding jacks. (Depending upon the type of module, some of the
pins in the middle portion of the module might not be connected.)

Grasp the module at the sides of the PCB with both hands and push it into the socket carefully and evenly,
avoiding any tilting. Inspect the module to make sure that none of the pins have been bent.

8.2.3. Analog-Modem Module

The analog module is inserted at the factory as standard equipment. Please check the condition of the module.
See also section 8.2.1. , “Applicable to All Modules”.

For SMARTCONTROL IP 65: Feed the RJ11 plug at the end of the modem’s connector cable into the box via one of

the cable glands. Lay the cable into the cable duct in the box.

For all SMARTCONTROL versions: Insert the RJ11 plug on the connector cable into the ISDN/PHONE-RJ45 jack for
analog connection on the PCB [see item 22 in section 6. , “Connections Overview,”]

Plug the other end of the cable into a TAE-N telephone socket.

A reset must then be executed in order to assure that the new setting is transferred to the modem (refer to
section 9.3. , “Shutting Down and Restarting SMARTCONTROL”).

After restarting, make sure that the communication LEDs between the RJ45 jack and the modem blink briefly
several times.

Note:

 An analog connection must be available at the SMARTCONTROL. Operation at analog

private branch extensions is possible.

 The number of rings before the modem answers a call can be selected with the

SMARTCONTROL Manager. At least 1 must be entered. If no setting is entered, or if the
number of rings is set to 0, the analog modem does not answer at all!

 The connection is laid out as an RJ45 jack. Use an RJ11 cable to connect the analog modem!

8.2.4. ISDN Module

The ISDN module is inserted at the factory as standard equipment. Please check the condition of the module. See
also section 8.2.1. , “Applicable to All Modules”.

Note:

 The prerequisite for operation with this module is an RJ45 ISDN connection socket on an

external/internal ISDN S0 bus.

 An unused digital number must be available.
 If no number is programmed, the module answers all incoming digital calls (X.75 protocol

only).

 Wiring of the ISDN connection must comply with ISDN specifications. These include:

terminating resistor in the last TAE socket, maximum cable lengths depending on
installation cable and number of devices to be connected.

For SMARTCONTROL IP 65: Feed the RJ45 plug at the end of the connector cable to the module via one of the
cable glands. Lay the cable into the cable duct in the box.

For all SMARTCONTROL versions: Insert the connector cable plug into the connector jack for ISDN connection
(RJ45) on the PCB [see item 22 in section 6. , “Connections Overview,”].

Plug the other end of the cable into an ISDN telephone socket (RJ45).

If applicable, use an ISDN tester in order to check your ISDN connection.

8.2.5. Bluetooth Module

The Bluetooth module is inserted at the factory as standard equipment. Please check the condition of the module
and make sure that module accessories are complete (module, adapter cable including cable gland, antenna). See
also section 8.2.1. , “Applicable to All Modules”.

Note:

 Never operate the SMARTCONTROL without an antenna if a Bluetooth modem has been

installed!

 The prerequisite for establishing connections with this module is a Bluetooth compatible

PC or notebook.

 Positioning of the antenna has a significant influence on signal quality.
 The Bluetooth module has a limited transmission range (class 1: 100 meters with

unobstructed view). The Bluetooth compatible PC or notebook must also comply with
class 1 (i.e. 100 m range). Walls, windows and doors reduce transmission range
considerably.

 Enter a password in the SMARTCONTROL Manager. This increases security for the

prevention of unauthorized data access and changes to the SMARTCONTROL
configuration. Although serial connections can still be established, no other commands
can then be executed in SMARTCONTROL.

An antenna must be installed in addition to the Bluetooth module. The antenna is used to establish connections
to Bluetooth compatible devices. The included antenna (cable length of approx. 300 cm) is connected to the FME
plug (adapter cable) by means of the FME socket.

29 GMC-I Messtechnik GmbH

The included adapter cable (approx. 25 cm) connects the module to the antenna. The adapter cable is furnished
with an MMCX/FME mounting plug. The MMCX plug is connected to the module. The FME plug serves to connect
the antenna, and is used as a housing feed-through at the same time. A drill hole with a diameter of 11 mm is
required for the SMARTCONTROL IP 65 to this end.

Connection is established from the Bluetooth compatible PC or notebook to SMARTCONTROL via a “virtual COM
port” [see “SMARTCONTROL Quick Start”].

As a rule, connection and disconnection are automatic when an application initializes the serial port. Experience
has shown that with some drivers the Bluetooth software assigns various COM ports.

Tip:

If you’re using a laptop with integrated Bluetooth adapter, deactivate the adapter and use our
class 1 USB sticks.

The Bluetooth serial connection is now ready to communicate with SMARTCONTROL. You won’t need to make

any further settings in the future.

8.2.6. GSM/GPRS Module

Warning:

A valid PIN must be entered with the help of the SMARTCONTROL Manager before installation
and initial start-up [see the section concerning modems in the SMARTCONTROL Manager
manual]!

If an incorrect PIN is entered, or none at all, the SIM card is disabled automatically after
initialization has been attempted three times!

For this reason, the GSM module is not inserted at the factory as standard equipment. Please check the condition
of the module and make sure that module accessories are complete (module, adapter cable including cable gland,
antenna).

Note:

 Never operate the SMARTCONTROL without an antenna if a GSM module is used!
 The prerequisites for operation with this module include a contract with a network service

provider and an enabled SIM card.

 An antenna must be installed in addition to the GSM module. This antenna is used to

establish contact with the network service provider.

 The installation site must also be checked for good reception.

► If applicable, remove the jumper plugged onto JP5 [see item 23 in section 6. , “Connections Overview,”].
► The SIM card furnished by the network service provider must be inserted into the GSM module before the

module is installed. The module is then installed to the available socket.

► Check the specified operating voltage for the GSM module.

30 GMC-I Messtechnik GmbH

The included adapter cable (approx. 50 cm) connects the module to the antenna. The adapter cable is furnished
with an MMS/FME mounting plug. The MMS plug is connected to the module. The FME plug serves to connect
the antenna, and is used as a housing feed-through at the same time. A drill hole with a diameter of 11 mm is
required to this end (SMARTCONTROL IP 65 only). Please refer to the included data sheet for precise technical
details.

The included antenna (cable length of approx. 300 cm) is connected to the FME plug (adapter cable) by means of
the FME socket. Please refer to the included data sheet for precise technical details.

Tip:

Positioning of the antenna has a significant influence reception quality. The following
points must be observed in order to assure good reception:

 Install the antenna in close proximity to openings to the outdoor environment.
 If possible, install the antenna above the highest point of local terrain.
 Install the antenna above components which might function as a shield, e.g. reinforced

concrete ceilings.

 Amongst other things, a booster is required for longer cables (> 20 m).

Receiving signal strength is indicated in the SMARTCONTROL Manager under Extras -> Receiving signal strength.

This function is included as a standard feature as of SMARTCONTROL firmware version 2.2.00.

In the case of TCP/IP connection, receiving signal strength is refreshed each time – only the last value is shown for

modem connections. Receiving signal strength is refreshed every 3 second during operation, and is saved as “User
action type 316”.

9. Initial Start-Up / Configuration

9.1. Firmware Options

Determine whether or not the right firmware has been installed to the SMARTCONTROL for the functions you

require. Various function modules can be integrated into the firmware (SMARTCONTROL “operating system”)

depending upon the task at hand. Some functions have to be enabled with a license. Others have to be installed
by loading additional firmware.

Firmware can be uploaded via the SMARTCONTROL Manager. The upload function is accessed via the main menu
~Extras ~Firmware upload... After selecting the file, the firmware is installed and the SMARTCONTROL is then
restarted.

Tip:

The additional modules included with the SMARTCONTROL are displayed in the “Options” field on

the Configuration -> Info tab in the SMARTCONTROL Manager with the help of abbreviations.

Online help for the individual firmware options can be accessed by clicking the “?” button next to

9.2. Initial Start-Up

9.2.1. DIAG / COM LEDs

Make sure that all cables (power supply, data channels, communication lines) are connected and, in the case of
SMARTCONTROL standard, that the housing cover is closed and secured with the screw.

After the circuit breaker (SC/IP65) is switched on or the power pack (SC/Standard) is plugged in, the DIAG LED [see
item 19 in section 6. , “Connections Overview,”] must blink for about 5 seconds after initialization.

9.3. Shutting Down and Restarting SMARTCONTROL

Approximately once every 15 minutes, SMARTCONTROL transfers recorded data from volatile RAM to non-volatile
flash memory.

Data stored in RAM which have not yet been written to flash memory are lost in the event of a restart.

A maintenance mode is provided as of firmware version 1.1.34, allowing for immediate saving of data before a
restart. After pressing and holding the F1 key [see item 14 in section 6. , “Connections Overview,”] for 5 seconds,
data are written from RAM to non-volatile flash memory.

The blinking pattern at the DIAG LED changes. The SMARTCONTROL can now be shut down or restarted by
pressing the reset key [see item 15 in section 6. , “Connections Overview,”]. If no further action is taken after
pressing the F1 key, the SMARTCONTROL resumes normal operation after 60 seconds.

Tip:

Information regarding the current firmware version can be displayed in the SMARTCONTROL
Manager by accessing “Info” in the “Configuration” tab.

9.4. Configuration

Note:

In order to start data recording, the SMARTCONTROL must be configured with SMARTCONTROL
Manager software.

SMARTCONTROL must therefore be connected to the PC for initial configuration. This connection
can be established by means of the Ethernet port or one of the socket modem options.

34 GMC-I Messtechnik GmbH

9.4.1. Configuration via the Ethernet Port

A crossover patch cable must be used for direct connection of the SMARTCONTROL to the PC (included with the
SMARTCONTROL).

Each SMARTCONTROL has the following static IP address as a default setting: 192.168.130.190. There are two
possibilities for data exchange:

Either IP address 192.168.130.XXX and subnet mask 255.255.255.0 are selected at the PC or notebook (XXX being
a number between 1 and 254 but not 190).

The TCP/IP address at the SMARTCONTROL is changed (possible without changing the PC’s IP).

The procedure is described in detail in the SMARTCONTROL Manager manual beginning with the section entitled
“Setting Up Projects, Buildings and SMARTCONTROLs”.

9.4.2. Configuration via Analog Modem or ISDN

A PC with an analog modem or an ISDN adapter with corresponding telephone line must be used.

Please note: The ISDN module in the SMARTCONTROL cannot be queried by an analog modem without additional
hardware.

Start Gossen Metrawatt “SMARTCONTROL Manager” software, and then establish connection and configure the

SMARTCONTROL as described in the manual beginning with the section entitled “Setting Up Projects, Buildings
and SMARTCONTROL”].

9.4.3. Deleting the Password

a) Press and hold the F1 key [see item 14 in section 6. , “Connections Overview,”].
b) Briefly press the reset key [see item 15 in section 6. , “Connections Overview,”].
c) Release the F1 key.
d) Wait until the DIAG LED goes out [see item 19 in section 6. , “Connections Overview,”].
e) Press and hold the F1 key (max. 5 seconds) until the DIAG LED starts blinking.

10. Options

The SMARTCONTROL allows for connection of many other optionally available modules (not included in the scope
of delivery). Additional firmware / an additional firmware license is necessary in some cases [see section 9.1. ,

“Firmware Options”].

10.1. Relay Outputs

In addition to the 2 onboard relays, additional relay outputs can be implemented via RS 485 fieldbus modules. For

connection and programming see the section in the SMARTCONTROL Manager entitled “Fieldbus Modules at the
RS 485 Port”.

A firmware license is available for controlling the modules (RS 485 acquisition package, article no. Nr.00730 or
RS 485 controller package, article no. 00731).

10.2. I/O Modules

Numerous other modules are also available (e.g. analog I/O, digital I/O). Please refer to the manual for the
respective module regarding connection.

10.3. Compact Flash Card (support discontinued and replaced by microSD card)

Gossen Metrawatt’s SMARTCONTROL is equipped with internal flash memory with 2 MBytes of capacity as a

standard feature, to which data are saved.

Internal memory can be expanded with the compact flash card, e.g. for:

 Large networks
 Short readout cycle for M-Bus meters
 Infrequent or no data transmission
 Double data backup
 Automatic backup of current configuration and programming

The SMARTCONTROL can address cards with capacities of up to 2 GB.

Note:

We cannot guarantee that CF cards which have not been purchased from us will function with the

SMARTCONTROL. The SMARTCONTROL only detects and reads cards which support the “true IDE
mode”.

Cards purchased from us have been tested for use with the SMARTCONTROL, and are formatted
before shipment.

Pre-configuration is executed by mean of SMARTCONTROL Manager software (refer to the section entitled

“SMARTCONTROL Manager” for further details), and by means of hardware with a compact card reader which has

been connected to the PC.
The preconfigured card is inserted into the flash card slot [see item 16 in section 6. , “Connections Overview,”]

with the contacts facing the PCB.

36 GMC-I Messtechnik GmbH

Note:

Refer to the section

9.3. , “Shutting Down and Restarting SMARTCONTROL”, regarding how to save data recorded to

RAM.

After the card has been inserted, SMARTCONTROL must be restarted by pressing the reset key [see item 15 in
section 6. ,“Connections Overview,”].

The flash card is then automatically detected by the SMARTCONTROL, and data is stored to it parallel to internal
flash memory. The compact flash card is also organized as a ring buffer.

The current user program is also saved to the compact flash card each time SMARTCONTROL is started and each
time reprogramming takes place. This is required for subsequent read-out of the card at a PC.

10.3.1 Using the microSD Card in SMARTCONTROL Rev2.xx and Rev.V3

microSD cards are supported as of version 2.4.03a. In order to use a microSD card, firmware version 2.xx with

option “SD” must be loaded to the SMARTCONTROL PCB, and an adapter is required as well. As of

SMARTCONTROL version V3, only microSD cards are used as a data storage medium. The adapter is no longer
necessary in this case, because the microSD slot (16) is installed directly to the PCB. The microSD card provides
the same scope of functions as was also the case with the compact flash card.

10.4. Backing Up Configuration and Program to a Compact Flash Card

As of firmware version 2.0.15, the configuration and the program are automatically backed up to the installed
CF card.

Please note that complete and correct configuration data must be available from the CF card in order to restore
them successfully.

The following actions trigger storage of the configuration data to the CF card:

 Each time configuration data are written
 Each time a program is started
 Each time the system is started

A backup can be uploaded to a new SMARTCONTROL as follows:

► If applicable, back up the programs and delete all data and programs from the new SMARTCONTROL.
► Switch the device off and then back on again, and make sure there are no more instructions in the

“Programs” tab! This is a prerequisite for assuring that the restore operation will function correctly.

► Install the CF card which contains the backup.
► Restart the device.

The data are restored automatically.

37 GMC-I Messtechnik GmbH

The SMARTCONTROL is then automatically reset, which indicates that various settings have been uploaded which
require a reset.

► Check to see if the restore operation was successful.

Note:

Please note that restoring only functions as of firmware version 2.0.15!

After the backup has been successfully uploaded, direct establishment of a connection
with the SMARTCONTROL via TCP/IP may no longer be possible, or may take a while, in
the case of network connection via network switches.

This can be remedied by resetting the involved switches, or by waiting until they’ve

learned the new MAC address,

10.5. TCP/IP Serial Modem Port

It’s not always possible to connect a GSM modem, an analog modem or an ISDN modem directly to a PC.
A SMARTCONTROL can be transformed into a “Smart Modem Control” with the MP firmware option [see section

9.1. , “Firmware Options”].

The “Smart Modem Control” makes the integrated modem module available to everyone via the TCP/IP network.

Advantages in comparison with conventional RS 232 to Ethernet converters:

 Automatic detection and initialization of the installed modem
 For GSM: automatic start-up and PIN setting
 Monitoring of the modem and automatic re-initialization in the event of a recognized malfunction
 Client IP report with connection start and ending times accurate to the second. The first thirty

transmitted characters are recorded as well. As a rule, these include the phone number (can be used for
billing connections).

Note:

All of the functions included with SMARTCONTROL are retained, but use of a modem is no longer
possible for the affected SMARTCONTROL itself. The modem is only available for the gateway
function.
