EV90 MASTER DIGITAL CONTROL

UNIT FOR HEATING AND TECHNOLOGICAL PLANTS
USE Remote control EV90 is used in particularly complex plants where several different devices are required to solve heat regulation problems. The system consists of a master device EV90, and one or more slave devices connected to the master through a communication bus called a FANBUS. OPERATION The device operates as a central control unit. Through its display and keyboard the user may display and modify parameters of slave control units connected to the FANBUS. A probe detects the value of the outside temperature which is sent by means of the FANBUS to all relevant control units thereby avoiding duplication. The hour and date, including standard time, may be set directly on the front of the device and used by all devices connected to the BUS. Just one modem (analogue or GSM) lets you remotely manage and modify the parameters of the Master EV90 and all other control units. When an alarm is triggered by a slave, it is first transmitted to the master EV90 and then to a remote station or to an enabled mobile phone. Another function of EV90 is boiler regulation (with 1 or 2 stages); it maintains a high enough boiler temperature to provide all connected users with heat. CHOICE OF LANGUAGE During installation it is possible to select the language used to view the Menus. With the control unit off press and hold the + key (see figure hereunder) 4-line, 16-character and switch on the power. When the alphanumeric display SCELTA LINGUA icon appears, reTwo Tx and Rx lease the + key and scroll the lansignalling LEDs i n d i c a t e guages using the + and keys. Upon communication reaching the language desired press TX to FANBUS the > key. The instrument will display RX the information in the chosen language. 1

FANBUSFANBUS You may connect 15 different types of control units to the FANBUS with at most 8 of the same type of control units (so 15x8 = max of 120 control units). You may connect the EV90 to the slave with a simple low voltage, polarity free bifilar duplex cable (both wires may be inverted with each other without causing malfunction). All slaves must be connected in parallel to the BUS. ADDRESS OF CONTROL UNITS Each control unit is identified by two digits that determine its address. The first digit represents the model and cannot be modified. The second one may be set through jumpers on each slave's terminal board: EV91A first digit: 1 EV91C first digit: 2 EV92 first digit: 3 If only one control unit per type is present on the BUS, no intervention is needed. Since the second digit is automatically set =0, the control units will have the addresses 10, 20 and 30 respectively. If 3 EV91A control units are needed on the same BUS, you'll have to set address 1 on the second control unit, and address 2 on

So, the result will be: 1 - EV91A address 10 (no bridge = address 0) 2 - EV91A address 11 (set address 1) 3 - EV91A address 12 (set address 2) 1 - EV91C address 20 (no bridge = address 0) 1 - EV92 address 30 (no bridge = address 0) This way every control unit will have an address that identifies it unambiguously. N.B. the two digits of the address must go in front of all remote management commands for faultless communication with the desired device. 1 - EV91C indirizzo 20 (nessun ponte = indirizzo 0) ADDRESS OF CONTROL UNIT EV90 The master control unit EV90D should be considered in the same way as a slave with a fixed address : 00. So, if you have to change the current time, for instance, you must send the change command preceded by 00. HOW TO SET THE ADDRESSES The purpose of connector A on each device is to supply power and to set its address through jumpers. This is convenient when the device must be replaced because, instead of losing the address, it is memorised in the terminal board and so the new device will automatically assume the address of the old one. Below we have indicated the jumpers to make to have all combinations

A 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 ADDRESS "0" A 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 ADDRESS "4"

A 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 ADDRESS "1" A 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 ADDRESS "5"

A 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 ADDRESS "2" A 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 ADDRESS "6"

A 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 ADDRESS "3" A 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 ADDRESS "7"

AUTOMATIC RECOGNITION When a new device is added to the BUS it is automatically recognised. After about 60 seconds master EV90 is able to display and communicate with it.

OPERATION AS CONTROL UNIT OF BOILER

OPERATION Besides performing the function as the master of a plant, the EV90 may be used as the control unit of a boiler with either fixed temperature or sliding temperature, by directly commanding a one- or two-stage burner. Through a measuring probe the device detects the temperature value of the boiler. If the temperature value falls below differential 1, the first stage is turned on, and if it falls below differential 2 and stays there for a certain length of time, the second stage is also turned on. The command of the relays is visible on the front of the device. The boiler may be turned on and off according to a weekly program that may be set on the same control unit.
BOILER T. 100 90 80 70 60 50 40 30 20 DIFF. 1 DIFF. 2 STAGE 1 ON STAGE 2 ON CALCULATED T.

CALCULATED BOILER TEMPERATURE The boiler temperature the control unit calculates may be fixed or sliding. When it is fixed, the value set will not be changed, but when it is sliding, the value set is added to the highest temperature value required by connected slaves. This way it is possible to regulate the boiler with a temperature that continually varies depending on the requirements of the entire plant. N.B. when you are setting the desired boiler temperature value, bear in mind that with fixed point regulation it is the value the control unit uses, and with sliding regulation, it represents an increase with respect to the highest value decided by the various control units of the plant. LIMITS You may set the highest and lowest boiler temperature limits within which the calculated temperature may vary. The control unit will ensure that these values are not exceeded. DIFFERENTIAL 1 Differential of the first stage. It indicates the temperature difference with the one calculated by the control unit below which the first stage of the burner is turned on. DIFFERENTIAL 2 Differential of the second stage. It indicates the temperature difference with the one calculated by the control unit below which the second stage of the burner is turned on. To avoid useless or ill-timed interventions, this situation should persist for a certain length of time (may be set on the control unit).

EXTERNAL PROBE EC81 Install the external probe in a vertical position onto the north or north-west side of the building at least 2.5m from the ground. Apply the probe far from heat sources (windows, aerators, flues, etc.) to detect a meaningful temperature for the whole plant. N.B. It's always possible to install one of the external probes on control unit EV91A. The device will automatically use the value measured by its probe instead of the one transmitted by EV90 through the FANBUS. BOILER AND RETURN PROBE EC82-EC83 Contact probe EC82 must be applied onto the water pipe with a special clamp. Put some thermal compound between them to ensure good heat conductivity. For the same reason immersion probe EC83 must be inserted in the sheath filled with mineral oil or silicone grease.

By connecting the EV90 controller to a GSM modem, the significant parameters of the control unit can be set or read (see SMS remote controls). To connect the controller to an analog or GSM modem follow the instructions relative to the wiring diagram to connect the modem or use the TC EV85 cable. N.B. The maximum length between controller and modem is 15 metres. If management takes place via a GSM modem a mobile phone can be used. If an analog or GSM modem in data mode is used, it is necessary to use a Personal Computer with dedicated control software available only in Italian provided by Fantini Cosmi or downloaded over the Internet. CONNECTING THE MODEM Follow the diagram below to connect the EV90 to the modem. It's necessary to connect pins 7-8 and 4-6 to each other for faultless communication.

MODEM CONNECTOR
MALE CONNECTOR DB9

PREPARING THE MODEM Both the GSM and the analogue modem supplied by Fantini-Cosmi will work properly. Another modem may be used provided that the communication speed is 2400bit/sec. To do this, use the command AT+IPR =2400 and save the new configuration with the command: AT&W. If a GSM modem is used, use and memorise the command AT+CMGF=1 to set the SMS message format to text mode. USING A SIM CARD The GSM modem works with any SIM card. Before using one, however, we recommend that you test it in a mobile phone to see if it's working. Particularly: -check that no PIN code has been set. If so, try to exclude it -Check the remaining credit -Send an SMS message and check if it arrives After these checks, install the SIM card in the modem connector OPERATION When a GSM or analogue modem is connected to the EV90, you may remotely read and change some of its data and data of all devices connected to the FANBUS. To properly communicate with the desired device, every command must be preceded by two digits representing the device's address. So, to address commands to unit EV90, you must first enter 00. All possible commands for each slave are described on the instruction sheets for each device. REMOTE MANAGEMENT SMS COMMANDS These commands may be used through a mobile phone by sending an SMS message containing the message to the unit's GSM modem. It answers with a reply SMS message to the phone number that requested the information. To facilitate message reading, the information is enclosed in a < and > sign. And every reply message is preceded by a description of control unit EV90, at times followed by a description of the slave control unit to easily identify the sender.
