depicted as follows:
NOTICE
Type and source of hazard
Consequences in the event the hazard occurs
Measures/prohibitions to prevent the hazard
Qualified personnel
Only qualified personnel may commission the device/system. In this regard, qualified personnel have the training
and experience necessary to recognize and avoid risks when working with this device/system.
Proper use
The device/system described here may only be used on building technical plants and for the described applications
only.
The trouble-free and safe operation of the device/system described here requires proper transportation, correct
warehousing, mounting, installation, commissioning, operation, and maintenance.
You must comply with permissible ambient conditions. You must comply with the information provided in the
Technical Requirements Section and any notes in the associated documentation.
Fuses, switches, wiring and grounding must comply with local safety regulations for electrical installations. Observe
all local and currently valid laws and regulations.

Engineering Guide
Overview
This document is intended for Installers and Technicians for the Climatix RT solution.
The instructions in this document will cover how to startup a Climatix RT controller and connect the controller to
Climatix IC.
This connection may reside within a corporate IT network on site.
Before you start
Before you begin the commissioning process, clarify the corporate IT network configuration on site. For example:
Would the controller be connected on the IT network? Is it a physical isolated network zone, or part of the corporate
network zone (Climatix IC and Internet on the same network)?
● Verify that the guidelines for the IP address scheme of network devices can be DHCP
● Verify the controller can directly access the Internet from the corporate IT network on site (without a proxy
server)
Climatix RTU Controller
Key benefits

Climatix RTU Controller
The Climatix RT Rooftop Unit Controller is designed for use in rooftop applications (up to 20 tons) and provides a
broad range of control and monitoring functions through Climatix IC. The number and type of I/Os on the controller
are optimized for this application type.
For a detailed description on the sequence of operation, see RTU Retrofit Sequence
of Operation (A6V12053413).
Key benefits
The Climatix RT controller uses a pre-defined application that is configurable for many types of Rooftop Units.
Several defined inputs/outputs (analog or digital) plus configurable I/O for multi-use using the easy-to-use Climatix
mobile application make it possible to control several manufactured Rooftop Units.
Topology
Fig. 1: Topology.
Inputs and Outputs
There are 21 physical inputs/outputs per controller. These I/O are configured with the Climatix Mobile application
and the Siemens Wi-Fi stick.

Communications
The Climatix RT controller has an Ethernet port for Modbus/IP, BACnet/IP, OPC, and Climatix IC. There is an SD
card interface for applications, firmware update, and archiving.
In addition, there is a RS-485 (galvanically separated) interface for Modbus RTU and BACnet MS/TP and a
process bus for networking of Siemens devices.

Climatix Mobile application
The Climatix Mobile application is a native iOS or Android application used to configure the Climatix RT controller
for each specific use. This easy-to-use application will walk the installer through a short series of steps to ensure
that the corresponding sensors, actuators, thermostats and VFD are terminated properly, with the correct type of
signal.
Key benefits
Climatix Mobile will guide the installer through an intuitive user experience that navigates the inputs, outputs and
setpoints for each Climatix RT.
● Secure connection via point-to-point wi-fi stick and user credentials
● Configuration wizard that steps through each part of the system
● Pre-loaded inputs and outputs ensure the correct termination and signal type
● Automatic discovery of activation key
● Easy-to-read printout of controller configuration
Startup
The Mobile application needs to start with location services enabled to determine your Climate Zone location.
1. Insert the Siemens Wi-Fi stick:
Fig. 4: Insert the Siemens Wi-Fi stick
2. Connect to SSID (pw: SIBPAdmin)

3. You can either load from favorites or configure a new setup.
4. Select your application type: Standard Conventional or Heat Pump.
Be aware of the option for additional settings such as calibration offsets or minimum
and maximum values for points. This displays in the upper right corner, if available.
Zone Monitoring
There are several options for your Zone temperature, humidity and IAQ readings:
● Siemens Room Units – The Room Units are a combination of Temperature, Humidity and CO2 monitoring, with
or without a display.

Fan Configuration
You can choose either a traditional stage blower fan or integrate the Climatix VFD for variable speed fan control.
Climatix Mobile application
Cooling
13 | 49
If you are using a non-Siemens Climatix RT drive, configure the I/O for Speed Output, Start/Stop and optional
feedback
Cooling
There are three compressors pre-assigned for cooling stages. Configuration of Stage Delay; Minimum On Time,
Minimum Off Time; and Economizer Delay are located in the settings bar.

You can also delete up to two compressors if they are unused. Swipe left to remove unused compressors. This will
free up the IO for additional use such as safeties.
Heating
There are two pre-assigned Heating stages. Configuration of the Heating Stage delay is located in the settings bar.
You can also delete a heating stage if it is unused. Swipe left to remove unused heating stages. This will free up
the IO for additional use such as safeties.
Configuration
In this section additional Sensors, the Economizer, Damper and Demand Control Ventilation are all pre-assigned.
