Overview of relevant new features:
Manual mode for outputs
It might be useful in some case to set outputs into manual mode, right in TAPPS2. Such as when initializing a (complex) system step-by-step, where sensory equipment must be checked and actuators switch separately, before automatic operation begins. When importing function data (*.dat), manual modes set on the controller are also imported into TAPPS2.
Since TAPPS2 is used to configure the automatic operation of system, but outputs generally shouldn’t be set to manual mode during automatic operation, a warning will be displayed when exporting while outputs are set to manual mode.
Manual mode for CORA devices
CORA devices that have manual modes available:
- Immersion heater EHS
- Pump group PMG
Deleting referenced input/output symbols and resetting the referenced input/output to “unused” (Shift+Del).
Example:
- Scenario: two symbols, each for input 1
- Deletion with Del: only the selected input symbol is deleted from the drawing
- Deletion with Shift+Del: the selected input symbol is deleted from the drawing and its referenced input 1 are set to “unused”
This feature is available for all kind of inputs/outputs (hardware and busses) and fixed values.
Support for extensions of UVR16x2 in firmware V1.58 Beta
- New function Curve function 2D
- “Curve function” has been renamed to Curve function 3D
- Supports CORA device Radiator thermostat HKT
- Supports CORA device Pump group PMG
- Supports CORA device Extension TDI5-DL
- New system value “Output manual mode”: set to “ON” if at least one hardware output is set to manual mode
- Analogue function: every input variable now has its own “Enable” pin, which controls if the corresponding input variable should be regarded in modes minimum, maximum, average and sum
The addresses of Modbus inputs/outputs are now freely adjustable for Modbus slaves.
A complete overview of the changes can be found in the changelogs.
Software
TA-Designer Beta
The program TA-Designer allows for the creation of function overviews for devices like the UVR16x2, CAN-MTx2 and C.M.I.

Firmware
UVR16x2 Beta Firmware
Update:
If the version of your UVR16x2’s firmware is below 1.20 and/or its bootsector below 1.05, two files are necessary on the SD-Card: “UVR16x2_Vxxx.bin”* and “StartBSUpdate_B106_UVR16x2_Vxxx”*. The update is to be initiated with the file “StartBSUpdate_B106_UVR16x2_Vxxx”*.
Directory of the files:
- Preferably in the SD-Card’s root directory (not in any sub-folders)
- or in the directory /UPDATE/ on the SD-Card
- or in the directory /UVR16x2_Vxxx/ * on the SD-Card
Update via C.M.I.:
With a firmware version of 1.20 or above, the C.M.I. can be used for updates. To do so, drag the file “UVR16x2_Vxxx.bin” onto your UVR16x2 controller (under the tab “Data administration”).
Attention: Please update your C.M.I.’s firmware first.
Updating versions below 1.04:
When updating a controller with a version below 1.04, the controller must receive an intermediate update to version 1.04 before updating to a higher version.
* "xxx" signifies the firmware version you are intending to update to and needs to be the same wherever mentioned.

CAN-MTx2 Beta Firmware
Update:
If the version of your CAN-MTx2’s firmware is below 1.04 or its bootsector below 1.05, two files are necessary on the SD-Card: “MTx2_Vxxx.bin”* and “StartBSUpdate_B106_MTx2_Vxxx”*. The update is to be initiated with the file “StartBSUpdate_B106_MTx2_Vxxx”*.
Directory of the files:
- Preferably in the SD-Card’s root directory (not in any sub-folders)
- or in the directory /UPDATE/ on the SD-Card
- or in the directory /MTx2_Vxxx/ * on the SD-Card.
Update via C.M.I.:
With a firmware version of 1.04 or above, the C.M.I. can be used for updates. To do so, drag the file “MTx2_Vxxx.bin” onto your CAN-MTx2 (under the tab “Data administration”).
Attention: Please update your C.M.I.’s firmware first.
* “xxx” signifies the firmware version you are intending to update to and needs to be the same wherever mentioned.
