Principles
This manual is designed as a guide to programming directly on the device, but also provides
important information about the elements required for programming with the TAPPS 2 programming
software (functions, inputs and outputs, etc.).
Programming with TAPPS 2 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
accordingly.
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.
Example with TAPPS 2:
Page 6

Planning basics
To ensure efficient programming, the following order must be observed:
1
A prerequisite for programming and defining parameters is an accurate hydraulic scheme.
2
Using that scheme, you must define what should be controlled and how.
3
Based on the required control functions, you must define the sensor positions and draw
them on the scheme.
4
In the next step, all sensors and outputs are assigned the required input and output
numbers.
As all the sensor inputs and outputs have different characteristics, it is not possible to simply
number them consecutively. The input and output numbers must therefore be assigned as
instructed in this manual.
5
After that, the functions are selected and their parameters are programmed.
Designations
All elements can be designated by selecting a predefined designation from various designation
groups or from the user defined designations.
You can also assign a number from 1 to 16 to every designation.
In the "General settings" menu, all user defined designations from the technician or expert level
can be created, changed or deleted globally.

View with designations defined previously
An alphanumeric keyboard is provided for changing a designation or creating a new one.
Up to 100 different designations can be defined by the user. The maximum number of characters per
designation is 24.
Designations defined previously are available for all elements (inputs, outputs, functions, fixed values,
bus inputs and outputs).

General information on programming parameters
for inputs, outputs, fixed values, functions, default settings, and CAN and DL inputs
and outputs.
Every entry must be finished by selecting .
If you want to discard your entries, select .
Example:
Entering numeric values
A keypad is displayed for entering numeric values.
Example: Entering the temperature "T.room standard" in the "Heating circuit" function.
The current value is shown (example: 22.0 °C).
The top line shows the entry range (example: 0.0 – 45.0 °C).
You can make entries using either the correction keys (--, -, +, ++) or the numeric keys. The
correction keys "-" and "+" change the value of the first digit to the left of the decimal point; the keys
"--" and "++" change the value of the second digit (the tens).
The arrow key shortens the value by one digit place; the key sets the value to zero.
Finish your entry with ; discard it with .

Date / time / location
The "Date" and "Time" are shown in the status line at top right.
Tapping that status field takes you to the menu for the date, time and location details.
Example:
The system value parameters are displayed first.
Time zone – 01:00 means the time zone "UTC + 1 hour". UTC stands for "Universal Time
Coordinated", also known as GMT (= Greenwich Mean Time).
Summertime – "Yes" if summertime is active.
Automatic time change – If "Yes", the time will switch over automatically to summertime
according to the specifications of the European Union.
Date – The current date (dd.mm.yy).
Time – The current time
Page 10

GPS latitude – Geographical latitude according to GPS (= global positioning system)
GPS longitude – Geographical longitude according to GPS
The values for geographical latitude and longitude are used to determine the location-specific solar
data. That data can be used in functions (e.g. shading function).
The factory default settings for the GPS data are for the location of Technische Alternative in
Amaliendorf, Austria.
Next, the location-specific solar data is displayed.
Example:
Sunrise – Time
Sunset – Time
Solar altitude – Specified in ° as measured from the geometric horizon (0°),
zenith = 90°
Direction of the sun – Specified in ° as measured from the north (0°)
North = 0°
East = 90°
South = 180°
West = 270°
Power reserve
In the event of power failure, the controller has a power reserve for about 3 days for the time and
date.

Pulse input
Inputs 15 and 16 can capture pulses with max. 20 Hz and a pulse duration of at least 25 ms
(S0 pulses).
Inputs 1 – 14 can capture pulses with max. 10 Hz and a pulse duration of at least 50 ms.
Select the measured variable
Wind speed
A quotient must be entered for the "Wind speed" measured variable. This is the signal frequency at
1 km/h.
Example: The WIS01 wind sensor issues one pulse (=1Hz) per second at a wind speed of 20 km/h.
Therefore the frequency at 1 km/h equals 0.05 Hz.
Setting range: 0.01 – 1.00 Hz
Flow rate
A quotient must be entered for the "Flow rate" measured variable. This is the flow rate in litres per
pulse.
Setting range: 0.1 – 100.0 l/pulse
Pulse
This measured variable is used as the input variable for the "Meter/Counter" function, as a pulse
counter with "Pulses" as its unit.
User defined
For the "User defined" measured variable, both the quotient and the unit must be entered.
Setting range for quotient: 0.00001 – 1000.00000 units/pulse (5 decimal places)
Units: l, kW, km, m, mm, m³.
For l, mm and m³ the unit of time must be selected as well. For km and m the units of time are
predefined and cannot be changed.
Example: For the "Energy meter" function, the unit "kW" can be used. In the example above,
0.00125 kWh/pulse was selected, which equates to 800 pulses /kWh.

Designation
Enter the input designation by selecting a predefined designation from various designation groups or
from the user defined designations.

You can also assign a number from 1 to 16 to every designation.
Sensor correction
The option of sensor correction is available for the measured variables Temperature, Solar radiation,
Humidity and Rain. The corrected value is utilised for all calculations and displays.
Example: Pt1000 temperature sensor
Average
This setting refers to the average of the measurements over time.
Averaging over 0.3 seconds leads to extremely rapid reactions on the part of the display and the unit.
However, this can be expected to cause fluctuations of the value.
A large average value leads to inertia and is only recommended for sensors for the heat meter.
For simple measuring tasks, around 1 - 3 seconds should be selected. For hygienic domestic hot
water heating with the ultra-fast sensor, 0.3 - 0.5 seconds should be selected.

Sensor check for analogue sensors
When "Sensor check" is active (setting: "Yes"), a short circuit or a lead break will automatically
generate an error message: A warning symbol is displayed in the upper status line, and the
defective sensor is shown with a red border around it in the "Inputs" menu.
Example:
Sensor error
When "Sensor check" is active, Sensor error is available as an input variable for functions: status
"No" for a sensor that is working correctly and "Yes" for a defect (short circuit or lead break). This
allows the controller to react to the failure of a sensor, for example.
In System values / General, a sensor error for all inputs is available.
If the Standard thresholds are selected, a short circuit will be indicated if the value falls below the
lower measurement limit and a lead break will be indicated if the value exceeds the upper
measurement limit.
The Standard values for temperature sensors are -9999.9 °C for a short circuit and 9999.9 °C for a
lead break. Those values are utilised in the internal calculations in the event of an error.
By selecting the thresholds and values appropriately, a fixed value can be specified for the controller
in the event of sensor failure, in order to allow a function to continue operating in emergency mode.
Example: If the temperature value falls below the threshold of -40 °C (= "Threshold value"), a value of
0.0 °C (= "Output value") is issued and displayed for that sensor (fixed hysteresis: 1.0 °C). At the
same time the "Sensor error’ status is set to "Yes".
The short circuit threshold must be defined below the lead break threshold.
Example: Sensor 12 has fallen below
-40 °C, so 0 °C is issued as the
measurement, and a sensor error is
displayed at the same time.

In the case of voltage measurements on inputs 1-6 and 9-16 (max. 3.3V), note that the internal
resistance of the voltage source must not exceed 100 ohms otherwise the accuracy will be less than
that specified in the technical data.
Voltage measurements on inputs 7 and 8: The controller's input impedance is 30 kΩ. Make sure that
the voltage never exceeds 10.5 V as this would have an extremely negative effect on the other inputs.
Resistance measurement: If the process variable is set to "Dimensionless", measurement is only
possible up to 30 kΩ. If the process variable is set to "Resistance" and the resistances being
measured are >15 kΩ, the averaging time should be increased as the values will fluctuate slightly.

The standard type used by Technische Alternative is PT1000.
KTY (2 kΩ) was the factory-fitted standard type until 2010/2011.
PT100, PT500: As these sensors are more susceptible to external interference, their sensor leads
must be screened and the Average time should be increased. Nevertheless the accuracy specified
in the technical data for PT1000 sensors cannot be guaranteed.

Outputs
The controller has 16 outputs.
Tapping the outputs display in the upper status line takes you to the "Outputs" menu. Undefined
outputs are hidden.
When selected, the outputs are displayed together with their designation and their current status (see
chapter "Display on screen").
Example:
Page 19
Outputs
19
Programming the parameters
Once the required output is selected, the output type can be defined.
First, you must specify the basic output type.
Output type
The following different output types exist, although they are not available for selection for all outputs:
Switching output
Output pair
0 - 10 V
PWM
Outputs 1/2, 3/4, 6/7, 8/9, 10/11, 12/13 and 14/15 as an output pair
These outputs can be used as single switching outputs or as an output pair together with the
following switching output (e.g. to control a mixer drive).
Caution
The output pairs 1/2 and 6/7 must only be used in the relay version of the UVR16x2.
The output pairs 1/2, 3/4, 6/7, 8/9 and 10/11 are available as standard. The output pairs 12/13 and
14/15 require the use of auxiliary relays (relay modules).
The mixer runtime must be entered for every output pair.
If a mixer runtime of 0 is entered, the output pair will not be utilised.
Output pairs are shown in the status line with a "+" between the output numbers.
Example: Outputs 8+9 and 10+11 have been programmed as output pairs
If two different functions act on the two outputs in the output pair simultaneously, the output with the
lower number ("OPEN" command) will be activated.
Exception: the "Message" function – if the simultaneous command comes from this function, the
output with the higher number ("CLOSE" command) will be activated.
Page 20
Outputs
20
All switching outputs
A start delay and a run-on time can be defined for all switching outputs.
All outputs
Manual mode can be restricted to certain user groups (User, Technician, Expert) for all outputs.
Outputs 12 to 16 as analogue outputs
These outputs provide a voltage between 0 and 10 V, e.g. for output-dependent control of burners
(burner modulation) or speed control of electronic pumps.
The output can be issued either as a voltage (0 – 10 V) or as a PWM signal.
They can be controlled by the PID function, or by other functions. The "Scaling" provides the option
of matching the analogue value of the source (with or without decimal place) to the control range of
the device being controlled.
In PWM (pulse width modulation) mode, a square wave signal is created with a voltage level of about
10 V and a frequency of 1 kHz with a variable duty factor (0 - 100 %).
If multiple functions (analogue values) act simultaneously on one analogue output, the higher
value is output.
For cases where an analogue output is activated by a digital command, an output voltage of 0.00 V
and 10.00 V (or 0.0 % – 100.0 % for PWM) can be defined. Digital commands are dominant over
links with an analogue value.
The activation of the analogue output via "Dominant off" and "Digital on" is possible by means of the
following digital signals:
Example: Output value 5.00 V
Example: Output value 10.00 V
Dominant off (from messages)
Dominant on (from messages)
Manual Off
Manual On
Digital on
Anti-blocking protection
Page 21
Outputs
21
Output status of the analogue outputs
For the output status you can define whether
the ON status should be issued above or below
an adjustable threshold.
Example: If the analogue output is over 3.00 V, the output status switches from OFF to ON.
Depending on the technical attributes of the
pump being controlled, it may thus be possible to
set the output status to be ON only when the
pump is actually running.
If you want an analogue output (A12 – A16) to be switched together with a switching output, it can
only be done by means of appropriate programming.
Example: As soon as the output status of the analogue output switches to ON, that ON command is
forwarded to the switching output via the logic function.

Display in the Outputs menu
The display in the menu shows the operating state of the analogue output. The output status can be
changed by selecting it.
Auto: Output issued according to the
source and scaling
Manual: Adjustable value
Manual/OFF: Output issued according
to "Dominant off" setting
Manual/ON: Output issued
according to "Digital on" setting
Examples of different scalings
Correcting variable of PID function: Mode 0-10 V, correcting variable 0 should correspond to 0 V,
correcting variable 100 should correspond to 10 V:
Temperature value, e.g. from an analogue function: Mode PWM, the temperature 0 °C should
correspond to 0 %, 100.0 °C should correspond to 100 %:
The temperature is transferred in 1/10 °C without the decimal point.
Burner output, e.g. from the functions DHW demand or Maintenance: Mode 0-10 V, burner output of
0.0 % should correspond to 0 V, 100.0 % should correspond to 10 V:
The percentage is transferred in 1/10 % without the decimal point.

Output meter
Selecting this icon allows you to see the hours run and pulses (times switched on) for every output.
Example: For output 1, the meter reading since 01/01/2014 can be viewed.
If you tap the button, you will be asked whether you want to delete the total meter readings and the
"Previous day" readings for the hours run meter and the pulse counter. The "Today" and "Last run"
and "Current run" readings will not be deleted.
Answer by tapping either the tick (= Yes) or the cross (= No).
After the deletion, the current date will be displayed.
The meter shows the total hours run, the hours
run the previous day and today, and the previous
runtime and the current runtime.
If you tap the button, you will be asked whether
you want to delete the hours run counted today.
This will not delete the "Last run" and "Current
run".

previous day and the number today.
If you tap the button, you will be asked whether
you want to delete the pulses counted today.
CAUTION: The meter readings are saved to the internal memory every hour. Therefore, in the
event of a power failure, no more than 1 hour of metering can be lost.
When loading function data, you will be asked whether you want to apply the saved meter
readings (see manual "Programming Part 1: General information").
Meter reset
If you tap a "Delete" button, you will be asked whether you want to delete the total meter readings or
today's meter reading.
Answer the confirmation prompt by tapping either the tick (= Yes) or the cross (= No).
After the deletion of the total meter readings, the current date will be displayed.

Blocking protection
Circulating pumps which do not run for a long period (e.g. heating circuit pump during the summer)
often encounter start-up problems as a result of corrosion. This problem can be avoided by starting
the pump periodically for 30 seconds.
The Blocking protection menu item added after output 16 allows you to specify a time and all the
outputs to receive blocking protection.
Example:
The outputs selected in the Output assignment
will be switched on for 30 seconds on Tuesday
and Friday at 4:30 p.m. if the output has not been
active since the last controller start or since
blocking protection was last initiated.
The outputs 3, 4, 6 and 7 were
selected.
The controller does not switch on
all the outputs at the same time,
but instead begins with one
output, switches to the next after
30 seconds, and so on.

CAN bus
The CAN network allows communication between CAN bus devices. When analogue or digital values
are sent via CAN outputs, other CAN bus devices can utilise those values as CAN inputs.
This menu contains all of the information and settings needed to set up a CANopen network. Up to 62
CAN bus devices can be operated in one network.
Every CAN bus device must be given its own node number in the network.
The cable topology of a CAN bus network is described in the installation instructions.

Datalogging
This menu is not visible in the User mode.
This menu is used to define the parameters for CAN datalogging of analogue and digital values.
CAN datalogging requires at least version 1.13 on the C.M.I. datalogger.
CAN datalogging is only possible with the C.M.I. datalogger. In contrast to data recording via the DL
bus, the data to be logged via the CAN-bus can be freely selected. There is no constant data output.
When requested by a C.M.I., the controller saves the current values to a logging buffer and locks it to
prevent it from being overwritten (when requests are received from another C.M.I.) until the data is
read out and the logging buffer has been enabled again.
The settings required on the C.M.I. for datalogging via CAN bus are described in the C.M.I.'s online
help.
Digital and analogue values – Each controller has 2 data records that it can use to output up to 26
digital values and 32 analogue values, which are defined in the "CAN bus/Datalogging" menu of the
UVR 16x2.
The sources for the logged values can be inputs, outputs, function output variables, fixed values,
system values, and DL and CAN bus inputs.
Each data record comprises 16 analogue and 13 digital values as well as 2 heat meters:
Digital
Analogue
Heat meters
Data record 1
1 – 13
1 – 16
1 – 2
Data record 2
14 – 26
17 – 32
3 – 4
If, for example, a digital value is to be stored in data record 2, then it must be defined as digital value
14 or higher.
Digital inputs must be defined in the range of digital values.
Heat meters
Up to 4 heat meters can be logged per controller.
The "output" and "total meter reading" output variables of the heat meters are automatically
included in the data record according to their function number (heat meters 1 and 2 in data record
1, heat meters 3 and 4 in data record 2).
N.B.: When the datalogger configuration is loaded into the Winsol setup (2nd page), the UVR16x2
controller will appear as "UVR1611".

CAN settings
Node
Define a unique CAN node number for the device (setting range: 1 – 62). The device with node
number 1 provides the time stamp for all other CAN bus devices.
Designation
Every controller can be given its own designation.
Bus rate
The standard bus rate of the CAN network is 50 kbit/s (50 kBd), which is specified for most
CAN bus devices.
Important: All devices in the CAN bus network must have the same transfer rate in order to
be able to communicate with each other.
The bus rate can be set to between 5 and 500 kbit/s, with lower bus rates allowing longer cable
networks.

CAN analogue inputs
Up to 64 CAN analogue inputs can be programmed. They are defined by specifying the transmission
node number and the number of the transmission node's CAN output.
Node number
After the node number of the transmission node is entered, the other settings can be specified. The
number of a CAN analogue output is taken from the device with that node number and applied here.
Example: On CAN analogue input 1, the output number applied is that of CAN analogue output 1
from the device with node number 2.
Page 38
CAN bus
38
Designation
Every CAN input can be given its own designation. The designation can be selected from various
designation groups or can be user defined, as for the other controller inputs.
Example:
CAN bus timeout
Define the timeout time for the CAN input (minimum value: 5 minutes).
As long as the information continues to be read from the CAN bus, the network error for the CAN
input will be "No".
If the value has not been updated for longer than the set timeout, the network error changes from
"No" to "Yes". You can then define whether the controller should issue the last value transmitted or a
definable substitute value (only when the measured variable is set to User).
The network error can be selected as the source of a function input variable, which allows the
controller to react appropriately to a failure of the CAN bus or transmission node.
In System values / General, a network error for all CAN inputs is available.
Sensor check
If you set "Sensor check" to "Yes", the sensor error of the sensor supplying the CAN input is
available as an input variable for a function.
Measured variable
If "Measured variable" is set to "Automatic", the unit of measurement specified by the transmission
node will be applied in the controller.
If you select "User", you can select a unit of your own, a sensor correction and, if sensor check is
active, a monitoring function.
Every CAN input is assigned its own unit, which can differ from the unit used by the transmission
node. A range of units is available to choose from.
This setting is only displayed if "Measured variable"
is set to "User".
Page 39
CAN bus
39
Value at timeout
This setting is only displayed if "Measured variable" is set to "User".
If the timeout time is exceeded, you can define here whether the controller should issue the last value
transmitted ("Unchanged") or a definable substitute value.
Sensor correction
This setting is only displayed if "Measured variable" is set to "User".
The value of the CAN input can be corrected by applying a fixed value.
Sensor error
This setting is only displayed if sensor check is active and "Measured variable" is set to "User".
When "Sensor check" is active, the sensor error of a CAN input is available as an input variable for
functions: status "No" for a sensor that is working correctly and "Yes" for a defect (short circuit or lead
break). This allows the controller to react to the failure of a sensor, for example.
If the Standard thresholds are selected, a short circuit will be indicated if the value falls below the
measurement limit and a lead break will be indicated if the value exceeds the measurement limit.
The Standard values for temperature sensors are -9999.9 °C for a short circuit and 9999.9 °C for a
lead break. Those values are utilised in the internal calculations in the event of an error.
By selecting the thresholds and values for short circuit and lead break appropriately, a fixed value can
be specified for the controller in the event of sensor failure at the transmission node, in order to allow
a function to continue operating in emergency mode (fixed hysteresis: 1.0 °C).
The short circuit threshold must be defined below the lead break threshold.
In System values / General, a sensor error for all inputs, CAN inputs and DL inputs is available.
Page 40
CAN bus
40
CAN digital inputs
Up to 64 CAN digital inputs can be programmed. They are defined by specifying the transmission
node number and the number of the transmission node's CAN output.
Their parameters are programmed in almost exactly the same way as for the CAN analogue inputs.
Under Measured variable / User the Display for the CAN digital input can be changed from Off / On
to No / Yes and you can define whether the controller should issue the last status transmitted
("Unchanged") or a definable substitute status when the timeout time is exceeded.
CAN analogue outputs
Up to 32 CAN analogue outputs can be programmed. They are defined by specifying the source in
the controller.
Specify the source in the controller which supplies the value for the CAN output.

Designation and transmission condition
Every CAN analogue output can be given its own designation. The designation can be selected from
various designation groups or can be user defined, as for the inputs.
Example:
Transmission condition
Example:
If change > 1.0 K
If the current value has changed by more than 1.0 K compared to the last
transmitted value, a new transmission is made. The unit used by the
source is applied to the output value (minimum setting: 0.1 K).
Blocking time 10 s
If the value changes by more than 1.0 K within 10 seconds of the last
transmission, the value is nevertheless only transmitted again after
10 seconds (minimum setting: 1 sec.).
Interval time 5 m
The value is transmitted every 5 minutes even if it has not changed by
more than 1.0 K since the last transmission (minimum setting: 1 minute).

DL bus
The DL bus acts as a bus cable for various sensors and/or for datalogging by C.M.I. or D-LOGG.
The DL bus is a bidirectional data link and is only compatible with products from Technische
Alternative. The DL bus network operates independently of the CAN bus network.
This menu contains all of the information and settings needed to set up a DL bus network.
The cable topology of a DL bus network is described in the controller's installation instructions.
DL settings
You can use this button to activate or deactivate
data output for datalogging via the DL bus and
for display on the RAS-PLUS room sensor. The
C.M.I. can be used for DL datalogging. Only the
input and output values and the 2 heat meters are
included in the data output; the values of the
network inputs are not included.
Page 45

DL input
Sensor values from DL bus sensors are transferred via a DL input.
Up to 32 DL inputs can be programmed.
Example: Programming the parameters of DL input 1
Select: Analogue or digital
DL bus address and DL bus index
Every DL sensor must have its own DL bus address. Setting the address of a DL sensor is described
in the sensor's datasheet.
Most DL sensors can measure various different values (e.g. flow rate and temperatures). Every value
measured must be given its own index number. The applicable index number can be found in the
DL sensor's datasheet.
Page 46
DL bus
46
Designation
Every DL input can be given its own designation. The designation can be selected from various
designation groups or can be user defined, as for the other controller inputs.
Example:
DL bus timeout
As long as the information continues to be read from the DL bus, the network error for the DL input
will be "No".
If the controller scans the DL sensor value three times and no value is transmitted, the network error
changes from "No" to "Yes". You can then define whether the controller should issue the last value
transmitted or a definable substitute value (only when the measured variable is set to User).
The network error can also be selected as the source of a function input variable, which allows the
controller to react appropriately to a failure of the DL bus or DL sensor.
In System values / General, a network error for all DL inputs is available.
Sensor check
If you set "Sensor check" to "Yes", the sensor
error of the sensor supplying the DL input is
available as an input variable for a function.
Measured variable
If "Measured variable" is set to "Automatic", the
unit of measurement specified by the DL sensor will
be applied in the controller.
If you select "User", you can select a unit of your own, a sensor correction and, if sensor check is
active, a monitoring function.
Every DL input is assigned a unit, which can differ from the unit used by the DL sensor. A wide range
of units is available to choose from.
This setting is only displayed if "Measured variable"
is set to "User".
Value at timeout
This setting is only displayed if "Measured variable" is set to "User".
If a timeout is set, you can define here whether the controller should issue the last value transmitted
("Unchanged") or a definable substitute value.
Page 47
DL bus
47
Sensor correction
This setting is only displayed if "Measured variable" is set to "User".
The value of the DL input can be corrected by applying a fixed differential value.
Sensor error
This setting is only displayed if sensor check is active and "Measured variable" is set to "User".
When "Sensor check" is active, the sensor error of a DL input is available as an input variable for
functions: status "No" for a sensor that is working correctly and "Yes" for a defect (short circuit or lead
break). This allows the controller to react to the failure of a sensor, for example.
If the Standard thresholds are selected, a short circuit will be indicated if the value falls below the
measurement limit and a lead break will be indicated if the value exceeds the measurement limit.
The Standard values for temperature sensors are -9999.9 °C for a short circuit and 9999.9 °C for a
lead break. Those values are utilised in the internal calculations in the event of an error.
By selecting the thresholds and values for short circuit and lead break appropriately, a fixed value can
be specified for the controller in the event of sensor failure at the transmission node, in order to allow
a function to continue operating in emergency mode (fixed hysteresis: 1.0 °C).
The short circuit threshold must be defined below the lead break threshold.
In System values / General, a sensor error for all inputs, CAN inputs and DL inputs is available.
DL digital inputs
The DL bus is configured for the transfer of digital values as well as analogue. However, there is not
yet any use for this at present.
The parameters are programmed in almost exactly the same way as for the DL analogue inputs.
Under Measured variable / User the Display for the DL digital input can be changed to No / Yes.
Bus load of DL sensors
A 2-pole cable provides both the power supply and the signal transfer for DL sensors. An additional
power supply by means of an external power supply unit (such as with the CAN bus) is not possible.
As the DL sensors have a relatively high power demand, the "bus load" must be considered:
The UVR16x2 controller supplies 100 % of the bus load. The bus loads of the DL sensors are listed in
the technical data of each DL sensor.
Example: The DL sensor FTS4-50DL has a bus load of 25 %. Consequently up to four FTS4-50DL
sensors can be connected to the DL bus.

monitor.
Total reset
A total reset can only be carried out from the Technician or Expert level and requires confirmation
when prompted.
A total reset deletes the function modules, the parameter settings of all inputs and outputs, bus
inputs and outputs, fixed values and system values.
The settings for the CAN node number and the CAN bus rate are retained.
After tapping the screen you will be asked to confirm that you want a total reset to be carried out.
Answer by tapping either (= Yes) or (= No).
A total reset can also be carried out by pressing the user interface when the TA logo is displayed
as the controller is starting up. At the end of the five seconds for starting calibration, a confirmation
prompt appears.
Here you can select the required procedure or go to the controller's main menu by tapping .

Restart
At the end of the "Data admin" menu,
there is an option to restart the
controller following a confirmation
prompt, without disconnecting the
controller from the network.
Reset
Pressing the reset button on the front of the controller briefly (with a narrow-tip pen) and releasing it
before the beep ends will restart the controller (= reset).
Loading the firmware with the factory settings
In special cases, it may be necessary to restore the controller's firmware to its condition when
delivered from the factory. A total reset is carried out at the same time.
Pressing the reset button on the front of the controller (with a narrow-tip pen) when switching it on
will start the loading of the original firmware at the time of delivery.
The button must be pressed until the beep stops.

Calibration
If the touch-sensitive points on the touchscreen no longer align with the background graphics, making
it difficult to operate the controller, you can re-adjust the touchscreen using "Calibration".
You can start calibration by pressing the touchscreen surface when the TA logo is displayed after
the controller is started.
The following display appears for five seconds after the controller is started (the seconds will count
down):
Touching the screen within that time will start the calibration procedure.
To calibrate, you must touch all 9 target points separately one after the other.
You then have the option of a total reset or continuing to the main menu of the controller
(see following description).

System values

System values
This menu displays the status of system values that are available for selection as the source for
function input variables and CAN and DL outputs.
The system values are divided into 4 groups:
General system values
When programmed accordingly, these system values allow monitoring of the controller system.
Controller start
Sensor error inputs
Sensor error CAN
Sensor error DL
Network error CAN
Network error DL
Controller start generates a 20 second pulse 40 seconds after the device is switched on or reset,
and is used for monitoring the controller starts (e.g. after power failures) in the datalogging feature.
The interval time in datalogging should be set to 10 seconds for these starts.
The sensor errors and network errors are global digital values (No/Yes) which are not connected to
the error status of a specific sensor or network input.
If any one of the sensors or network inputs has an error, the status of the corresponding group
changes from No to Yes.

Function overview

Function overview
The function overview will only be displayed with controller version V1.04 or higher.
Programming of the function overview is done using the "TA-Designer" software and is described in
that software's help file.
If multiple UVR16x2 controllers or X2 devices in the system are linked by CAN BUS, values from
these other devices can be displayed as well.
Tapping the "Home" icon opens the function overview. This overview is designed to provide
the user with a simple way of controlling and monitoring the system.
The function overview can be displayed with the aid of graphics or simply as a table.
Examples:
Selecting this button on
the start page takes you
back to the controller
menu.

The indicator light can indicate a variety of statuses by means of three colours.
Indications at controller start
Indicator light
Explanation
Steady red light
The controller is booting up (= start routine after switching on, resetting or
updating) or
Steady orange light
Hardware is initialising after booting up
Flashing green light
After hardware initialisation, the controller waits about 30 seconds to receive
all the information necessary for a function (sensor values, network inputs)
Steady green light
Normal operation of the controller
An active message can be displayed by a change in the LED indicator light. This can be set in the
Parameter menu of the "Message" function.
