Installation and operating manual – Release 3.1 7

The functional data in the microSD memory can be saved via

USB port on a pen drive by accessing the BACKUP MENU

(par.13.4); this operation automatically creates the

VLX/BACKUP folders containing the folder named with the

serial number of the refrigeration unit at the time inserted in

the device configuration; if the S/N is not entered, the name

of the folder is R00000. The folder contains the folders of the

months [yyyymm] that contain the daily files [yyyymmdd.dat].

The latter are read and coded by the application for PC

Thermoconverter.The S/N folder also contains the folder

OP_PAR that contains the parametric configuration files of the

network-connected devices. The name of the files coincides

with the MACHINE NAME of the device shown in the header

of the Home Page.

Through the ERASE menu all backup data can be deleted from the microsd; access to the menu requires

the ADMIN password if different from zero.

Create the FRW and PAR folders on the root of a pen drive.

Generate the configuration parameters files for the connected

devices using the DATA BUILDER 4.0 application:

 NAME.CTA controller parameters file

 NAME.MNA monitor parameters file (only PRO1 and PRO2 board)

 NAME.DIS display parameters file

 NAME.CTB controller parameters file if present

 NAME.MNB monitor parameters file if present

Salvare i files parametri all’interno della cartella PAR

Insert the key into the USB port of the display panel and select the UPDATE menu; if a default parameter

settings is detected when the controller is turned on, it automatically switches to the BUILDER menu. In

the UPDATE menu select the device file and confirm the choice; in the same way for every device. If the

file logo.bmp, qr.bmp and logos.bmp are present in the PAR folder, these are automatically saved when

the .DIS file is updated.

Installation and operating manual – Release 3.1 8

When the configuration parameters are transferred from the pen drive, a copy is made in a micro-

controller flash partition and a copy in the micro SD. Through the REPLAY MENU you can retrieve the

default configurations of the devices to configure a new board.

If the display is replaced, the new device reads the EVO parameter that defines the main structure

of the user interface, from the controller board. If the microSD previously used from the old device

were available, its installation in the new device reconfigures the complete parameterisation of

the display via the REPLAY MENU.

Installation and operating manual – Release 3.1 9

[device settings application]

DATA BUILDER 5.0 application is supplied with display panel D1 and has the function of generating and

reading the configuration files of the ATEX PRO controllers and display panel. It does not require

installation; simply open the executable from the folder that contains it. The generated files are saved in

a USB stick to be transferred to the devices to be configured.

The customer ID allows the disambiguation on the CLOUD when two refrigerated units belonging to

different Customers are connected with default data (same S/n and same refrigerator model).

 Launch the executable file databuilder.exe

and window on the side appears

The LOAD PARAMETRS FILE key opens a configuration file and presents the parameter map that can be

exported as a PDF file. The heading includes: device model, customer ID and filename.

Installation and operating manual – Release 3.1 10

Click the BUILD key of the SELECTION PAGE window to generate the configuration file of the PRO 1

example controller board; the next window opens with the default parameters.

Use the mouse to select the parameter value to be modified: the field changes color. Set the new value;

if red indicates an inconsistent value and is not accepted; otherwise, by selecting a new value with the

mouse pointer, the parameter just modified is saved and the color of the field takes on a different color

that differentiates it from an unmodified parameter. A click of the left mouse button on the acronym

displays the description of the parameter, the limits and the step until release.

Once the parameters have been completed, click the SAVE CTA key to generate the parameter file of a

single temperature refrigerator. The file name can not exceed the number of 8 characters; if major is

truncated. The file must be saved in the PAR folder inside the VLX folder of the USB stick. When the

refrigerating unit comprises a second temperature zone, first generate the parameter file for zone A (SAVE

CTA) and then generate the parameter file for zone B (SAVE CTB).

Installation and operating manual – Release 3.1 11

If a PRO1 or PRO2 device has been selected, the configuration must also be set for the monitor section

reachable by clicking on the MONITOR key. The saving takes place in the same way as controller section

for both single temperature units and double temperature units; in this configurationthe file parameter

extension is MNA and MNB respectively.

Click the BUILD key of the window relative to the D3 or D4 PANEL device; the following window opens

with the default parameters.

example LABORATORY) that can be edited from the SETTINGS MENU.

There are 7 squares corresponding, respectively, to the U1-U7 relay outputs. The U7 relay is only

present in the PRO1 and PRO2 control boards, therefore, in other configurations, the square will

be present but always disabled. The activation of an output changes the style of the square to a

lighter grey.

The event area shows the icons RED THERMOMETER in case of temperature alarm, RED SPANNER

in case of fault, ENVELOPE in case of event reset and not displayed in the EVENT LIST. In case of

simultaneous presence of FAULT and ALARM the temperature alarm icon has priority over the

If the display panel is connected with the control board the ALARM LIST is read only by the

monitor section while the FAULT LIST is read by both the control and the monitor section;

therefore, a possible temperature alarm detected by the controller section is ignored. Otherwise,

in case of fault or disabling of the monitor probe, the ALARM LIST is read by the controller section

while the FAULT LIST is ready by both the controller and the monitor section. The events recorded

by the controller boards in the ALARMS AND FAULTS LISTS are displayed in the EVENT LIST.

In the Scientific mode the graph traces the values of the compartment and setpoint temperature recorded

in the last 6 hours with sampling every 30 seconds (720 points) where the minimum and maximum values

of axis Y match the alarm limits of low temperature -1°C and high temperature +1°C. Shutting down the

controller deletes the mapping on display; when switched on again, the graph repopulates from right to
