Hardware / General Information

Power supply

Power is provided via a connection between the controller and bootloader over a DL (Data

Line) or CAN cable. Data retention is guaranteed, even without a power supply. A compart-

ment for an industry-standard 9V battery is provided, allowing it to be used as a portable

device without a cable connection to the controller. Alkaline batteries are recommended.

They have a lower self-discharge and live four times longer than normal batteries. This allows

an IR-CAN interface to a controller and a USB connection to a PC. After the data transfer, the

device switches off automatically. This ensures years of use. When operating the ethernet

interface or the GSM module, power must always be provided via the CAN bus.

If the bootloader is used as a hand device without a cable connection to a controller, it is

advisable to remove the BL-NET from the PC after a successful data transfer to avoid un-

wanted activation of the bootloader from the PC and ensure long battery life.

Data line

Every UVR controller has a data line output DL (with the EEG30, TFM66 D0) that, together

with the (sensor) ground conductor, forms a two-conductor cable. The BL-NET has 2 data line

inputs for simultaneously recording measured values from up to two controllers.

Controller 1 BL-NET Controller 2

Any desired cable with a minimum cross-section of 0.35 mm² can be used as a data line cable

(e.g. twisted pair), over a maximum distance of 100 m. If the data from two controllers is to be

acquired by the bootloader, then separate shielded cables must be used to provide protection

against crosstalk errors. The data conductors must never be in the same cable as the CAN

bus.

If only the data line cable is connected to the BL-NET, then this is also used as the power

supply for the bootloader.

When the DL is connected, the bootloader indicates that a device has been connected to the

DL input by briefly flashing the green LED. The bootloader automatically recognises the

number and type of the connected controller(s).

NOTE:

With the UVR1611 controller, output 14 (DL) can be used as both a data connection and a

control connection. For data logging, output 14 must therefore always be configured as a

data connection via the "Outputs" menu.

UVR1611 – Controllers from version A2.16 additionally allow network input variables to be

logged (when output 14 is parameterised as a data connection: NETZW.EG.=>DL.: ja

(yes)), which is then handled by the bootloader as a second virtual UVR1611. Logging of

network variables is thus not possible when two physical controllers are connected to the

bootloader.

Only the UVR1611 and UVR61-3 devices can supply enough power for the bootloader via

the data line. An optional power adaptor (CAN-NT) is available for other devices.

Logged data is lost when the number of data connections or the controller type is

changed!

If power is removed from the bootloader then, at most, only data from the last hour is lost.

CAN bus and IR-CAN infrared interface

The IR-CAN interface (infrared CAN) offers a simple way of transferring functional data. It is

located under the two buttons of the UVR1611 and on the lower side of the bootloader case.

During the data transfer, the bootloader must lie in the correct position on the controller:

Bootloader – upper edge = Controller display – lower edge, the sideways position of the

display is marked on the bootloader.

For transferring the functional data the controller must be prepared via the "Datenverwaltung"

("data administration") menu. This is only permitted in expert mode. The controller switches to

data transfer mode when the "Upload bzw. Download wirklich starten?" ("Really start upload

or download?") query is confirmed. After this, the bootloader is placed in the correct position

on the controller (at the lower edge of the display and between the markings). As with the

CAN cable, the data transfer is started by pressing the Start button on the bootloader. The

green LED flashes during the transfer and the functional data takes about 15 seconds to

transfer.

Since an operating system can take about 5 minutes to transfer, this should always be

done via a CAN bus cable connection. If the loading of the operating system is interrupted

then a renewed transfer is only possible via a cable connection!

In addition to data transfer, the ethernet interface of the CAN bus also allows direct access to

the CAN network devices via a browser on the PC. Both LEDs flash briefly when the CAN

cable is plugged in and after about 20 seconds, the green LED lights up to indicate that the

BL-NET is ready to operate on the CAN bus.

When using the CAN bus to connect several devices with a total cable length above 5 m,

correct termination of the bus is important. The network terminators must be connected at

the cable ends. The lower side of every controller, and the bootloader, have a corresponding

jumper bridge (term) for this. A CAN bus must never be connected from a node (terminal) to

other devices in a star formation. The correct layout is a series cable from the first device

(with terminator) to the second device, then the third, etc., and the last bus connection must

also have a termination jumper.

Additional information on the correct layout of a CAN bus network (e.g.: cable selection, etc.)

is provided in the UVR1611 controller handbook.

Wrong Right

USB

The USB interface does not represent an electrical connection between the bootloader and

PC. For reasons of safety, it is electrically isolated via optocouplers. The bootloader thus

requires its own power supply, via the DL, CAN or a battery, when communicating via USB.

For communication between the PC and BL-NET via USB, a special driver is also required

that creates a virtual COM interface in Windows, which is then used by the Winsol or Memory

Manager programs to access the bootloader. See also the section "USB driver".

Ethernet

The ethernet interface is only active when a CAN connection is present. When operating

with only a data cable or a battery, ethernet communication is not possible.

A crossed network cable must be used for direct connection with a PC. The PC must also be

assigned a fixed IP address. The rear side of the BL-NET (the oval window) has a green LED

that indicates an ethernet connection to another device, and a red LED that indicates data

transfer.

The bootloader requires a fixed IP address because it does not support DHCP. See also the

section "Connecting the BL-NET to a LAN network".

GSM module (optional)

An optional GSM module is available for the BL-NET. This can be retrofitted by plugging it into

a male socket inside the bootloader.

The SIM card PIN query must always be deactivated for operation! This can be done

using a mobile phone.

Before commissioning the BL-NET with a GSM module, the SIM card must be inserted into

the correct socket and the antenna must be connected. The GSM module is only activated

when the CAN bus is connected. The red LED lights up after the module has successfully

initialised. An error is indicated by a flashing red LED. If this flashing occurs for longer than

five minutes, then initialisation has failed and all connections must be checked.

The GSM module is configured via the browser. These settings are described in the section

"Accessing the BL-NET via a browser".

Software

Installation

The software on the CD provided (Winsol, Memory Manager, etc.) can be installed by select-

ing the desired menu option from the autostart menu that is automatically displayed when the

CD is inserted.

The latest versions of the software are available for downloading at http://www.ta.co.at and

they overwrite the existing software without losing any previously stored data. However, it is

recommended to deinstall the existing versions of the software before installing new versions.

This only then removes the application and all data created with the application is retained.

CAUTION! Newer software versions are not always compatible with the version of the boot-

loader operating system. The homepage provides information on this. It may be necessary to

also upgrade the bootloader operating system (see "Memory Manager").

Deinstallation

The programs can be deinstalled using the <Software Installieren/Deinstallieren (add/remove

programs)> function in the Windows "Systemsteuerung" (control panel).

Windows 98, ME, 2000, XP: … "Systemsteuerung" (control panel) "Software" (add or

remove programs)

Windows Vista: … "Systemsteuerung" (control panel) "Programme und Funktionen"

(programs and functions)

USB driver

The USB driver is required for USB communication between the PC and the bootloader and it

creates a virtual COM port on the PC for this purpose.

The driver must be installed on the PC for this (see "Installation") and is automatically loaded

when a bootloader is connected to the PC.

The necessary driver is located in the <\install\USB-Treiber> folder of the CD provided but it

can also be downloaded from the homepage at http://www.ta.co.at.

Any existing driver must first be deinstalled (see "Deinstallation") before it can be replaced

with a new version.

Installation

1. When a bootloader or D-LOGGUSB is connected to the PC with a USB cable, the PC

automatically recognises a new hardware component and automatically starts the "Hard-

ware-Assistent" (Hardware Wizard) if a driver has not yet been installed for this device.

If the Wizard does not start automatically, the installation can also be manually started.

When the device is connected to the PC but the driver has not been installed, it is dis-

played in the Windows "Geräte-Manager"(device manager) with an exclamation mark in

one of the <"Andere Geräte" (other devices)>, <"Anschlüsse" (ports) (COM and LPT)> or

<USB Controller> lists. The driver installation can be manually started from here.

2. The necessary driver can be installed using the "Hardware-Assistent" (Hardware Wizard).

Windows 98, ME, 2000: <"Nach einem passenden Treiber für das Gerät suchen"(search for a suit-

able driver for the device)>

Windows XP: <"Software von einer Liste oder bestimmten Quelle installieren" (install software from

a list or other source)>

Windows Vista: <"Auf dem Computer nach Treibersoftware suchen"(search the computer for driver

software)>

3. The next step is to enter the path to search for the driver files:

Windows 98, ME: <…\USB-Treiber\Win98Me>

Windows 2000, XP, Vista: <…\USB-Treiber\Win2kXp>
