Equipment configuration

This article is a tutorial for installing and setting up a SIEMENS Synco controller to your Wattsense product. This equipment is using the KNX communication protocol. You can learn more about the KNX protocol configuration in this tutorial.

Note

You can find attached the Synco RMK770 datasheet for your information. Most of the informations in the current article are sourced in it.

Synco side

In order to correctly set up your equipment to the Wattsense Box/Hub, you will need to get a few informations from the Synco.

• Installation

If you don't know the communication settings of your equipment, you can connect one of these HMI to access the internal settings.

The Synco should be powered with a AC - 24V supply. Here is how your installation should look like:

• Communication informations

Before connecting your Synco to the Wattsense Box/Hub, you will require the Area, the Line and the Device address of your equipment. In most of cases, you can find it just by turning the navigation button a few times. You should be able to see the Dev addr. information in the format Area.Line.DevAdr.

• • (0.2.50 in the current set-up):

If you can not see these informations, you can click on both Esc and Ok buttons. Then go to Service level > Device information > Communication > Basic settings. You'll be able to see your device's informations from here.

• Wired Connections

The KNX bus needs to be connected to the Wattsense Box/Hub KNX port as follow:

• CE -   -->    -  port
• CE +  -->   +  port

Wattsense side

You can now add your RVL to your Wattsense Box/Hub from the console.

Go to Configuration > Equipment tab and add an equipment from the Configuration Wizard.

Select your Synco equipment in the list and choose KNX protocol. You can now enter your Device address in the format Area.Line.DevAdr. 

• (0.2.50 in our case):

Click on Next, and define the Internal and Individual address of the Wattsense Box/Hub. The addresses must be unique and available in the network.

Finally you can select the wanted properties you want to monitor.

This article is a tutorial for installing and setting up a SIEMENS RVL Heating controller to your Wattsense product. This equipment is using the LPB communication protocol. You can learn more about the LPB protocol configuration in this tutorial.

Note

You can find attached the RVL470 datasheet for your information. Most of the informations in the current article are sourced in it.

RVL side

In order to correctly set up your equipment to the Wattsense Box/Hub, you will need to get a few informations from the RVL.

• Heating engineer's level

Press   and  simultaneously for 3 seconds to activate the "Heating engineer's" level. It will allow you to access the RVL internal configuration.

• Segment number | Device number

Before connecting your RVL to the Wattsense Box/Hub, you will require the Segment Number and the Device Number of your equipment. You can find it from the Heating Engineer's level, usually at the setting numbers 169 and 170. You can navigate in the settings with the Prog buttons. In the following set-up:

• • (169) Device Number: 2
  • (170) Segment Number : 2

Note

The parameters numbers are specified in the RVL's datasheet.

For each device, configure a unique device number (from 0 to 16).

• Powered Bus

Be careful to have the communication bus powered. You can see the "Bus" word displayed if it is powered. If not, go to the setting number 179 (or else depending on the datasheet) and enable the Bus with the - and + buttons.

Warning
If you connect multiple LPB equipments together, Designate one and only one equipment that supplies the Bus.

• Wired Connections

To access the communication connectors or the RVL, you need to remove the white part. You can unscrew it from its front side.

Once you remove it, you can access the MB and DB communication ports. You need to connect it to the Wattsense Box/Hub X-Bus as follow:

• • MB  -->  - port
  • DB  -->   +  port

  Attention

Be sure that the LPB bus is not powered during your installation to avoid electrical issues. After your installation is completed remember to power it.

Wattsense side

You can now add your RVL to your Wattsense Box/Hub from the console.

Go to Configuration > Equipment tab and add an equipment from the Configuration Wizard.

Select your RVL equipment in the list and choose LPB protocol. You can now enter your Segment number and Device number from earlier.

Finally you can select the wanted properties you want to monitor.

If you need any additional information, please contact us here.

1. Add the Box/Hub correctly in the KNX network
2. Collect the required equipment information in order to read data.

To correctly add the Box/Hub in the KNX LTE network you'll have to assign a free and unique individual address and internal address (required by wattsense software design):

Ex: 0.2.15 and 0.2.16

 

 

Architecture example:

Equipment Configuration

1. Select an equipment in our database. If it's not available, please contact us: support.wattsense.com

2. In this case, the individual address would be either : 0.2.2 / 0.2.3 / 0.2.4

 

Property requirements:

You can now add multiple LoRaWAN types of equipment at once. This feature is only available on the web console. To add equipment, access the bulk creation mode by going through these steps:

You can first download the WATTSENSE_TEMPLATE.CSV file, then simply fill in the file with your sensor information.

Import a CSV file with at least the following info:

• Manufacturer    
• Model    
• DevEUI    
• AppEUI    
• AppKey    

Click on "Next" and select the codec you want to use. Your device names will be scanned and matched with their Wattsense counterparts. 

To finish, select the properties that you want to synchronize with the Box.

And… that’s it! You can now add in one go multiple devices with their data points.

We built this new feature with your feedback. Please drop us a line at Wattsense Support to make it even better or to share with us any other feedback.
