Page 5: Principles
Principles 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. -
Page 6: Planning Basics
Principles Planning basics To ensure efficient programming, the following order must be observed: A prerequisite for programming and defining parameters is an accurate hydraulic scheme. Using that scheme, you must define what should be controlled and how. Based on the required control functions, you must define the sensor positions and draw them on the scheme. - Page 7 Principles 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).

Page 34: Can Bus
CAN bus 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. -
Page 35: Datalogging
CAN bus 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. -
Page 36: Can Settings
CAN bus 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. -
Page 37: Can Analogue Inputs
CAN bus 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. -
Page 38: Designation
CAN bus 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". -
Page 39: Value At Timeout
CAN bus 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"... -
Page 40: Can Digital Inputs
CAN bus 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. -
Page 41: Designation And Transmission Condition
CAN bus 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. -
Page 42: Can Digital Outputs
CAN bus CAN digital outputs Up to 32 CAN digital outputs can be programmed. They are defined by specifying the source in the controller. Their parameters are programmed in exactly the same way as for the CAN analogue outputs except for the transmission conditions. -
Page 43: Active Can Nodes
CAN bus Active CAN nodes Updating the view Tapping the button displays the active CAN nodes in the CAN bus network. "Status" displays the controller's CAN bus status. Following a controller start the status changes automatically, according to a predefined process, from init. → preop(erational) → operat(ional). Only then is it possible to communicate with other CAN bus devices. -
Page 44: Dl Bus
DL bus 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. -
Page 45: Dl Input
DL bus 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. -
Page 46: Designation
DL bus 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". -
Page 47: Sensor Correction
DL bus 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"... -
Page 48: Dl Output
DL bus DL output Analogue and digital values can be transmitted to the DL bus network via a DL output. For example, a digital command to activate an O2-DL O sensor can be output. Example: Programming the parameters of DL output 1 Specify the source in the controller which supplies the value for the DL output. -
Page 49: Designation And Destination Address
DL bus Designation and destination address Specify the designation and the destination address of the DL sensor to be activated. Provision has been made for the specification of an index number, but there is not yet any DL bus device which requires that specification. For the activation of the O sensor, the index therefore has no effect and can be ignored. -
