Page 5: Safety Requirements
Safety requirements These instructions are intended exclusively for authorised contractors. All installation and wiring work on the device must only be carried out in a zero volt state. The opening, connection and commissioning of the device may only be carried out by competent personnel. -
Page 6: Disposal
They must never be treated as ordinary household waste. ➢ We can undertake the environmentally responsible disposal of devices sold by Technische Alternative upon request. ➢ Packaging material must be disposed of in an environmentally responsible manner. -
Page 7: Installing And Connecting The Device
Installing and connecting the device Installing the device The device must only be installed in a dry interior room. For correct detection of the room tempera- ture, the CAN monitor must always be installed vertically. Permissible ambient temperature: +5°C - +45°C Press the two locking clamps on the left and right and lift the cover. -
Page 8: Power Supply
Power supply The CAN monitor requires a 12 V power supply originating from a freely programmable controller (UVR16x2 or RSM610). No more than three devices (CAN monitor, CAN-I/O module etc.) can be sup- plied from each controller. With 4 or more devices in the CAN network, a 12 V power unit is required. CAN bus connection The screwless terminals for the CAN bus are located in the base of the CAN monitor. -
Page 9: User Manual - Technician / Expert
User manual - Technician / Expert If a function overview was loaded onto the CAN monitor, the display will show the function overview once it is connected to the CAN bus. The function overview can be programmed as standard view or full screen view. Function overview display Standard view Example:... -
Page 10: Full Screen View
Full screen view In the full screen view, the upper status bar and the side buttons are hidden. Example: Start page with 4 links If you press the background image for 3 seconds, 4 buttons appear which enable access to the ver- sion information of the CAN monitor, the general settings or the date, time and location settings, and the main menu of the CAN monitor. -
Page 11: Main Menu
Main menu • Inputs – The CAN-MT16x2 CAN monitor has a sensor for temperature and humidity • Messages – Sensor and network errors from the CAN-MTx2 are displayed here • CAN BUS – CAN settings, definition of CAN inputs and outputs •... -
Page 12: Date / Time / Location
Date / time / location The "Date" and "Time" are shown in the status line at top right. As the CAN monitor does not have its own clock function, the time and date are taken from network node 1 and cannot be changed in the CAN monitor. For this reason, at least one CAN bus device which has its own clock function must have the node number 1 (UVR16x2, UVR1611, RSM610, C.M.I.). -
Page 13: Inputs
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. -
Page 14: Sensor Correction
Sensor correction The option of sensor correction is available for the measured variables The corrected value is utilised for all calculations and displays. Example: 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. -
Page 15: Sensor Error
Sensor error When "Sensor check" is active, Sensor error is available as the source for digital CAN outputs: 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. -
Page 16: Messages From Other X2 Devices
Messages from other x2 devices Depending on the setting in the x2 device, messages from other x2 devices can be displayed on the CAN monitor with a pop-up window, a changed status LED and/or a warning tone. The pop-up window works in the same way as on the display of the UVR16x2 controller. Example: Message type "Error";... -
Page 17: Internal Can Monitor Messages
Internal CAN monitor messages The "Messages" menu displays messages that are caused by sensor or CAN bus errors in the CAN- MTx2. Message from other x2 devices are not displayed here. Example: Fault on input 1 If at least one internal message is active, the warning symbol will appear in the upper status line on the right. -
Page 18: 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. 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. -
Page 19: Datalogging
Datalogging This menu cannot be selected 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 1.25 on the C.M.I. datalogger and a Winsol version of at least 2.06. -
Page 20: Can Settings
CAN settings Node Define a unique CAN node number for the device (setting range: 1 – 62). The factory-set node number of the CAN-MTx2 is 50. Designation Every device 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 21: Can Analogue Outputs
CAN analogue outputs The 5 analogue inputs are already linked to the first five CAN analogue outputs. In CAN-MTx2 (without CO sensor), the fifth value is always 0. As there are no other analogue values available as the source for CAN analogue outputs, no instruc- tions are given here for programming other CAN analogue outputs. -
Page 22: Can Digital Outputs
CAN digital outputs They are defined by specifying the source in the CAN monitor. Example: Source "Sensor error inputs" Designation Every CAN digital output can be given its own designation. The designation can be selected from var- ious designation groups or can be user defined. Example: Transmission condition Example:... -
Page 23: Active Can Nodes
Active CAN nodes Tapping the button displays the active CAN nodes in the CAN bus network. "Status" displays the CAN bus status of the CAN monitor. After starting, the status changes automati- cally, according to a predefined process, from init. → preop(erational) → operat(ional). Only then is it possible to communicate with other CAN bus devices. -
