In PROSOFT there are different parameters which can be set to the specific needs of your project and to the specifications of the user.
Customize this screen:
- Favorites tab
- When you click this button, the “Define AURUS-TFT” window appears. In this screen, you will find a simplified AURUS-TFT screen where you can edit the 8 AURUS-TFT favourites buttons to your personal needs. You can modify the names and change the icons.
- Rooms & Items tab
- In this window you can change the different control menus of the AURUS-TFT.
- Sorting the menu items
- you can change the order of appearance of the items in the menus. If you want for example to display the ‘kitchen’ on top of the rooms list, select the ‘kitchen’ button and drag the room to the desired place.
You can do the same sorting for the functions when you click the functions. Place the most often used functions on top of the list and the seldom used functions at the bottom.
- Visualisation
- you can hide a room or function by removing the ‘V’ mark next to it.
- User code protection
- A function can be user code protected. This means that the function only can be controlled after clicking that function with your finger on the AURUS-TFT touchscreen and after entering the correct user code.
To protect a function, just check the “Passcode” mark.
The standard factory user code is “12345”. This user code can be changed any time in PROSOFT in the “Users & groups” configuration menu.
- Read only
- This parameter is unchecked by default, when this is checked the item will only show the status but cannot be controlled.
Settings
In this window you can change the different control menus of the AURUS-TFT.
- Configuration
- Select if the user is allowed to make changes to the sensor presets and clock actions.;
- Screen saver type
- The screensaver will be Default off. If desired, you can select the “Clock screen saver” to display the time when the AURUS-TFT is in standby mode. Regardless of the selected screensaver, the display will switch off after the selected time (see the “Display OFF after” setting).
- Time format: Here you can switch 23:59 or AM-PM notation.
- Date format: The same as with the time format, here you can choose your preference of the way the date displays on the Screensaver.
- Camera captures
- Add an email address (max. 5 for every AURUS-TFT) if you would like to receive an email with camera captures every time a screen capture is made. If black, the camera capture functionality will be unavailable.
Energy management
With the AURUS-TFT you can visualize the energy generation, consumption and balance of your project in kW, kW/h or in the desired currency. Per installation you can have one overview screen.
Example:
How to configure the Energy balance screen
- Go to Extra > Options > Sensor tab
- Click on ‘Energy settings’ under ‘Energy management and Charts’
- Energy management window
- In this window you can configure the energy management parameters.
- Preview window
- In the left corner you will see a preview of the energy balance screen on the AURUS-TFT with at left, the energy generation visualised as PV panels and at the right the house as consumer.;
- Maximum production (kW): In order to have a correct scaling (balance) between the production and consumption, you will have to fill in an assumption of the possible maximum production (eg.: of you PV panels).;
- Average Profit per kWh: Here you fill in the profit you will get when you put your generated electricity back to the electricity grid.;
- Pulse counter sensor for energy production: In this column you can select which ‘kWh (pulse) sensor’ will act as the ‘Energy production’ counter. You can select multiple. ;
- Currency
- Type here your desired currency (eg.: €, $, £,…). ;
- Maximum consumption (kW)
- In order to have a correct scaling (balance) between the production and consumption, you have to fill in an assumption of the possible maximum energy consumption.;
- Average cost per kWh: Here you fill in the price you have to pay per kWh when you buy it from your energy supplier.;
- Pulse counter sensor for energy consumption: In this column you can select which ‘kWh (pulse) sensor’ will act as the ‘Energy consumption’ counter. You can select multiple.;
Chart visualisation
All types of sensors can be displayed on the AURUS-TFT as trend lines or block diagrams to visualize gas consumption, rainfall, energy production, temperature, wind velocity, light intensity, etc.
The AURUS-TFT can display sensor values per day, week, month, year and always with a comparison of last day, week, month, year, in the background. Depending of the type of sensor (analogue or digital) these will be visualized as a trend line with min/max lines in the ‘month’ and ‘year’ screens, or as block graphs with totals per hour, day, week or month.
Example:
How to enable in PROSOFT:
- Go to Extra > Options > Sensor tab
- Click on ‘Energy settings’ under ‘Energy management and Charts’
- Enable the sensors for which you want to have a chart available on the
AURUS-TFT.
- The charts symbol will now be available on the sensor page on the AURUS-TFT after you transmit the .nbt file to the DoIP central unit.
