Configuration
The configuration defines the entire TC-S2 structure. TC-S2 is more a highly flexible computer
for control applications than an ordinary controller. As a consequence, even minor changes
might affect the basic controller operation. Your system builder will have preconfigured the TC-
S2 according to your application so normally it is not required to enter configuration. Get your-
self familiar with the meaning of the parameters before you start adjusting the configuration.
See next page for a detailed explanation of all TC-S2 parameters.
Configuration via keypad
All configuration parameters can be changed by the keypad. Enter the configuration by hol-
ding the 'inst' key pressed for 3 seconds. Now you can navigate through the parameters using
the cursor keys and modify if necessary. Use the keys 'X' res. 'Y' to directly change between the
configuration tables. Press and hold key 'inst' again to save and leave configuration.
Note: If TC-S2 re-enters configuration automatically it has detected an illegal setting (ie. an
input mode which is not available physically or a servomotor indication on a switching output).
Configuration and Reading Controller Logs via PC software
Download the free of charge configuration utility "WinConfig" from www.bentrup.com. This
utility allows easy setting, saving and restoring configuration. Use WinConfig to download the
controllers error log which - like a flight recorder - contains all relevant process values of the
last 50 controller events (even after power down). The offline created data log of TC-S2 can be
also downloaded. All data shown is easily understood in Microsoft EXCEL.
TC-S2 with Integrated PLC (Option)
Configuration allows even complex input output control including logical functions; if your
applications require even more complex networks (including timers etc.) check out the corre-
sponding application note on www.bentrup.com.
