2 Installation
Once you have inserted the installation CD in your PC's disk drive and
launched the setup.exe file, you can pick from 2 types of setup:
Default
Custom
You can select the setup type which meets your requirements.
If you select the "Typical" setup type, the software is installed in full.
2.2 Custom
If you select the "Custom" setup type, you can select the program features
which are installed.
Once the software has been installed, the MR TAPCON®-trol Suite can be
started. The suite comprises all MR software installed on your PC.
All software installed for the respective devices can be found in the list func-
tion under "Equipment selection". Proceed as follows:
3 Product description
The software is used for communication between device and user. In principle
all operations and settings can be undertaken in a similar way on the device
itself.
There is therefore no direct need to use the software to assist with input.
Scope of delivery

Technical files
Serial cable RS232
USB adapter + CD
Table 3 Scope of delivery
Check the shipment for completeness on the basis of the shipping docu-
ments. The scope of functions of the software depends on the ordered
equipment or device variant, not on the contents of this documentation.
Windows 2000
Windows XP
Windows Vista
Windows 7
The software can basically be split into a display section and a configuration
section which can be used both online and offline.
As well as displaying the current measured values, calculated values can also
be accessed in the display section. The data can either be presented in tables
or if there is sufficient data in diagrams too. Once the memory content has
been downloaded by the hardware during an online connection, you can view
and edit the database contents in offline mode.
Parameters are presented in tables in the configuration section. Once the in-
itialization data has been downloaded during an online connection, you can
then edit or adapt this offline so that it can be transferred back to the hard-
ware during a subsequent online connection.
When you commission the software, it contains no device entries. This in-
cludes connection settings and configurations. These should be initialized as
detailed in these instructions.
Please note the guidelines for the language selected and the communication
settings for the computer you are using. In some dialogs, the software uses
the standard format of the operating system such that the language settings
in areas such as printing depend on the Microsoft user interface specification.

All parts of the main screen can be enlarged or shrunk using the mouse. The
last settings are restored when the software is restarted.
You can pick selected functions using the toolbar. To simplify and describe
the control processes, tooltips for the symbols are shown when the mouse
pointer hovers above the corresponding symbol. The bar contains the
following action buttons:

4 Basic settings
Once the software has been installed, the basic settings need adapting. The
following sections describe how to do this.
You can select the language you want from all languages currently imple-
mented in the "Language" window shown below. This is done using a list
function.
Since standard Microsoft operating system dialogs are sometimes used, the
language cannot be changed in some dialogs. Such cases include:
Setting up the printer
Navigation when searching for directories
Navigation when searching for files
The manual communication interface setting
The current language set for the Microsoft operating system is used.
You can use the "Settings" menu item for the following settings:
Communication
Serial communication
Modem
Update
Quick parameter download
Proceed as described in the following sections.
Once the corresponding communication mode has been selected, the follow-
ing additional options apply:
If you tick the "Display mode selection" checkbox, the mode selection is dis-
played when setting up the serial connection. Communication by modem or
network is the standard mode selection.
Updating parameters
The dialog asks you to update the configuration software parameters with the
device parameters.
You can select the COM port in the "Serial communication" tab. Regardless of
whether there is a modem or network communication card present, the device
can be read out via the front interface using serial communication.
The baud rate can be defined in 2 different ways. The easiest way is the au-
tomatic baud rate process, where the program always automatically estab-
lishes the baud rate before communication.
If you know the device baud rate, you can undertake the setting yourself.
Proceed as follows:
The settings for data bits, parity, stop bits and flow control must be identical
to the settings in the screenshot below otherwise a connection cannot be es-
tablished with the device.
If the initialization commands are not correct, it is possible that the modem
will not work correctly and that a connection will not therefore be established.
The intervals for updating status information, current tap positions and active
LEDs and the graphics (display screens for remote screen) are preset and
should not be changed.
Note that times for downloads cannot be reduced below a certain level due to
fixed retrieval mechanisms and how the software is used. The settings made
in the screenshot below cannot therefore vary beyond the limits of a fixed
and specified interval.
Setting path
Defining visualization language
Setting report
Open the options dialog using the menu bar:
You can specify the following directories and destination folders under
"Paths":
Main directory
Device data
Archive
Download
An explanatory option dialog for the display can be called up when producing
reports. This option dialog always appears as soon as you want to perform
printing.
2. If required, tick the "Show dialog box on options for report display"
checkbox.
3. If required, tick the "Printing of parameter blocks" checkbox.
4. Confirm with "OK".
The report options are set.
If you activate the "Option dialog for report display" in the report options, a di-
alog appears before every print operation. You can change the language for
report control in this dialog.
The report setting languages are independent of the language settings for the
software.
If you remove the selection before "Continue to display this dialog box", this
report is suppressed in subsequent operations. This definition can be re-
versed using the menu item under "Options".
The report display for parameters can also be structured using blocks. Each
group of parameters is listed by page in the report.
You will find a detailed description of the print function under Printing (see
"Printing" on page 108).
Once you have adapted the necessary options in the "Settings" menu as de-
scribed in the "Basic settings" chapter, you can move onto the next sections
which describe the configuration software and its structure. This structure is
based on the following basic categories:
Group
Device
Parameter set
Database modules
Groups are a way of creating order within the configuration software. Devices
and parameter sets can be combined into the respective groups.
There are 2 ways of inserting a group - using the menu bar or mouse. If you
want to insert a group or device using the menu bar, proceed as follows:
If you have inserted groups, you can read in group data which has been
saved in a directory. Proceed as follows to display the group data:
The group data is displayed in the "Archive integration" dialog. Alongside the
current groups, you can also select groups and parameter sets.
Once you have clicked on the "Integrate" button, the selected data is trans-
ferred into the configuration software database. If devices with the same ID
code or name already exist, the ID and device name are automatically
changed.
You can delete the groups you have previously created at any time. There are
2 ways of deleting a group - using the menu bar or mouse. If you want to de-
lete a group or device using the menu bar, proceed as follows:
When you delete a group, all the devices and data belonging to this group
are also deleted. We would therefore recommend archiving the data before
deleting a group.
If you want to delete a group or device using the mouse, proceed as follows:
The software allows both group data and device data to be saved. This func-
tion is identical to the "Save device data" function. You receive a compressed
ZIP file. This file is saved in the archive directory.
Proceed as follows to save the group data using the menu bar:
3. Enter any name for the file in the "File name" field.
4. Select "Save" to save.
The "Information" dialog box appears.
If you want to produce or add a new system, you need to distinguish between
groups and devices:
Groups
They are used to combine several devices in the sense of a directory or fold-
er. Individual parameter data records are saved under the devices.
Device
Each device has a code, known as an Identcode. The software uses this code
to distinguish devices when establishing a connection. You can change this
code at any time either directly on the device or using the TAPCON®-trol.
Several devices cannot however be created with the same code.
If you want to change the code on the device directly, please read the operat-
ing instructions for the device.
When the mouse pointer hovers over a device entry or parameter data
record, the associated code is shown.
You can create the new device you want using the menu bar or the toolbar.
If you want to create the device using the menu bar, proceed as follows:
After the download process, the basic details for the and the asso-
ciated parameter set can be provided.
The following general data can be found in the "General settings" window:
Group name
Location
Device name
Identcode (regulator ID)
The user is free to select this Identcode. The Identcode must consist of a
combination of digits and may have a maximum length of 4 characters. It is
also used to further describe the device in the function tree. It is shown both in
the status bar and in the right-hand overview window (central window of main
screen).
In contrast, the user is free to select entries for "Location" and "Description"
and these are used to differentiate between different devices. These are
shown both in the status bar and in the right-hand overview window.
In addition to the general settings, the communication options can also be de-
fined. TAPCON®-trol can use the communication options to establish the
connection. These details only serve as guidelines. They do not affect the
configuration software and device settings.
The "Open" function allows archived groups and devices to be added to the
configuration software. You can also insert devices using TAP files.
You can set the device you want to create using the menu bar or the toolbar.
If you want to open the device using the menu bar, proceed as follows:
If the "Integrate devices automatically" option is not used, the user must pro-
vide the general details. A check is run to establish whether the Identcode is
present and whether the device name has already been issued.
During initialization, i.e. when adding new devices, the settings undertaken
can be changed in any way later on.
Once the device information has been created, the information for the asso-
ciated parameter set is defined.
If you insert a parameter set as a TAP file, you perform these steps in the
same order.
You can use the "Delete device" function to remove individual devices from
the configuration software. You can remove the device using the menu bar or
the toolbar.
To delete a device group or an individual device using the menu bar, proceed
as follows:
When you delete a device, all the associated information about the device is
deleted. We would therefore recommend archiving the data before deleting a
device.
The software allows device data to be saved. This function is identical to the
"Save group" function. You receive a compressed ZIP file. This file is saved in
the archive directory.
Proceed as follows to save the device data using the menu bar:
5.2.4 Connecting
You can establish the connection to the device using the "Connection" button
in the toolbar or using the menu bar.
Using the automatic speed query, starting at 115,200 bauds, the PC software
tries to query all possible speeds down to 9600 bauds without you needing to
know the baud rate set on the device. The baud rate currently set is saved
within the software and used as a guideline for active "Automatic baud rate
selection". This guideline is extended if the connection does not come about
using the speed search described. The following window opens:
Once the baud rate has been established, the configuration software automat-
ically initiates querying of the device data.
If the visualization has connected with a device, you receive status informa-
tion.
1 Current level
2 LED status indicator (if there is a connection)
3 Last 4 digits of serial number of device
4 Enter password (yes/no)
5 Connection exists (yes/no)
If you are connected to a device, you can change the date and time on the
device.
To set the time and date, proceed as follows with the aid of the menu bar:
After entering the password, the service can change additional parameters
and use functions. Each parameter data record has its own password. To in-
put data, you must be in the tree structure in the parameter set or modules.
You can tell the status from the icon in the status bar in the bottom left. You
can enter the password using the menu bar or toolbar. Proceed as follows to
enter the password using the menu bar:
If you want to change the name of the device or move the device into another
group for example, you can change the settings for the newly added device in
any way later on. There is a systematic division here with regard to assign-
ment to groups or directories and to the device.
Changing the data stated here only relates to the structure within the con-
figuration software. The structure of the data in the device is not changed.
If you want to change the name of the parameter set, the location name or the
communication settings for example, you can change them later in any way
you want.
Changing the data stated here only relates to the structure within the vi-
sualization. The structure of the data in the device is not changed.
3. Change parameter set.
4. Confirm with "Finish".
The changed associations are saved in the software.
As soon as systems are fully added to the existing structure on the computer,
they can be duplicated, moved or deleted again using the main and context
menu. These functions are described in detail below.
5.3.1 Cutting
All selected objects are moved into the interim storage. This includes the
module data. There are 2 ways of cutting the parameter set.
To cut the parameter set with the aid of the menu bar, proceed as follows:
The parameter set is cut and can be pasted somewhere else if re-
quired.
To cut the parameter set directly in the function tree, proceed as follows:
3. Select "Cut".
The parameter set is cut and can be pasted somewhere else if re-
quired: Paste on page 68.
5.3.2 Copying
If you want to copy the parameter set, this function is identical to theCut (see
"Cutting" on page 66) function:
5.3.3 Pasting
All entries in the computer's interim storage are pasted along with the asso-
ciated files at the location or group you select.
5.3.4 Deleting
If you delete a group, device or parameter data record, any files and struc-
tures related to the elements are deleted from the computer's hard disk along
with the visible entries.
With the help of this semi-automatic function, you can update the parameters
in the TAPCON®-trol directly using the menu bar or toolbar. An update is re-
quired if you are connecting the TAPCON®-trol to the device.
Once the current device parameters have been downloaded, those parame-
ters which differ from the parameters saved in the TAPCON®-trol are dis-
played in the update dialog. Identical parameters are not displayed. You can
download the parameters using the menu bar or toolbar.
Proceed as follows to update and download the parameters using the menu
bar:
When you download the parameters, log files are created in the device direc-
tory and these log the parameter transfers.
Once all the parameter changes are complete, the updated data can be col-
lected and transferred to the device during online communication. As well as
the menu bar and toolbar, the "Upload configuration" button which is located
in the bottom left part of the parameter screen can also be used for this pur-
pose.
The current device parameters are determined before the transfer. These are
compared with the software parameters to be transferred. The differences are
shown in the transfer dialog. Depending on change authorization (with or
without password), parameters requiring passwords are shown or hidden.
You can transfer the parameters using the menu bar or toolbar.
When you download the parameters, log files are created in the device direc-
tory and these log the parameter transfers.
1 Service parameters
2 Standard parameters
2. Highlight all the parameters you want to upload in the respective check-
boxes.
3. Confirm with "Upload".
The selected parameters are uploaded to the device.
After the upload, there is another alignment to check whether the se-
lected parameters have been adopted.
Alongside the menu, the function tree is the most important element of the
configuration software:
Just as you can change parameters on the device itself, the configuration
software also allows you to do this. The structure in which the parameters are
displayed is based on the device-specific guidelines.
The main groups and sub-groups of the parameters can be selected using the
function tree and group table. These parameter groups are adopted when
reading out device data and basically correspond to the division of groups
within devices.
If you select a main group entry, the associated parameter groups are dis-
played in the table area on the right-hand side.
1 Function tree
2 Device-specific details
3 Table showing parameter groups or parameters
If you select a sub-parameter group, the display switches to displaying the re-
spective group parameters in tabular form.
5.4.2 Parameters
Once you have selected a parameter group, the parameters belonging to this
group appear in the table display. You can change the parameter selected by
double-clicking or using the "Change parameters" button.
The parameters can only be changed in line with their specification. These pa-
rameter limits are checked during input.
The "All parameters" item also allows the parameter values saved in the
groups to be displayed in one common list.
Checks are not undertaken within the software to establish whether the pa-
rameters are correct. The values may only vary within the stated limits. The
entries are monitored if the current value entered is not in the defined range.
An error message is output in such cases. All further actions are prohibited.
But corrections are possible.
5.5 Modules
Erasable databases:
The oldest data records are overwritten automatically as soon as the data-
base quota is full and the 8MB Flash is full.
Non-erasable database:
The data is not updated automatically. Once the database has reached 90%
or 100% of its quota, an event is triggered on the TAPGUARD® 260. You are
prompted to read the data with the TAPCON®-trol and erase it. Non-erasable
databases are used to permanently store cases in which errors occurred and
maintain an overview of the procedures over a longer period of time.

Once the device-specific module and database information for the device has
been created and read out, the data can be downloaded.
After the manual data alignment, the databases can be read in cycles at an in-
terval of your choice. You must have already created the device in order to
use the Cyclic Database Download function. The function can either be
started using the menu bar or toolbar.
To set automatic data alignment using the menu bar, proceed as follows:
You can select the following retrieval periods for the cyclic data align-
ment:
Hours (1...24)
Days (1...7)
Weeks (1...52)
As an option you can set a start and end time. If you don't select a start
time, the function starts immediately.
The activation status is shown in the footer.
Please continue:
2. Enter all the device's connection options
3. Select the "Start" button.
The connection options are saved and the Cyclic Database Download
activated.
1 minute before the Cyclic Database Download starts, the following dialog box
appears:
On request you can delay the download start by 1 hour or start it immediately.
If you select the "Cancel" button, the Cyclic Database Download is stopped.
Once the data has been aligned, the data for the evaluation is prepared and
displayed. Depending on the data basis, measured values are selected and
assigned to the axes using list boxes. Adapt the time period using start/stop
details to evaluate a particular time period. Date and time details which come
before or after the recording period are not permitted in the selection.
You can delete the respective database at any time within a module display.
All data and information for this module database is deleted within the TAP-
CON®-trol. but not on the device.
Unlike the display on the device, here you can insert, edit and delete entries.
Figure 73 Entries
3. Enter the time and date of the maintenance undertaken in the list options
on the left side of the dialog.
4. Enter the type of maintenance in line 1 and if necessary in line 2
5. Confirm with "OK".
The entry is entered and appears in the life history record.
The entry is saved in the device's LOG file.
6. Use the "Upload" button to upload the LOG file to the function monitoring
system.
Each time you insert or change an entry, you must select the "Upload" button
to update the function monitoring system.
This module allows the diverter switch insert change maintenance work to be
undertaken. You can also change the text names for the diverter switch insert
in the text box below the on-load tap-changer type. Proceed as follows to un-
dertake changes on the diverter switch insert:
In order to update the diverter switch insert data, you must select the "Read
diverter switch insert information" button. This allows you to avoid differ-
ences between the data in the software and diverter switch inserts.
You can issue any tap names to each physical input tap and change these for
the display. You can read the tap names from the function monitoring system
and upload these.
Proceed as follows to download the tap data from the function monitoring sys-
tem:
All event messages are saved in the device in the corresponding device lan-
guage. Event messages can also be displayed and hidden.
Entering the service password allows you to view all event messages. The
limited number of events is checked after every change.
Alongside the event messages for the current device language, you can right-
click to select the event messages in the device languages available.
5.5.11 Events
The "Events" module lists all events currently present and the events saved in
the memory.
Color Definition
Green General status message
Yellow Shows advance warning and gives status info
Red Immediate activity by the service team is required
Table 5 Marking the events
If you are in password mode, depending on your selection you will get a
complete list of all events. Depending on the number, it may take some time
to read out.
5.5.12 Torques
The torque is the maximum torque value per window. The motor-drive unit's
torque pattern is split into 8 windows (M1...M8). During a change-over selec-
tor switching action, there are 8 evaluated torques in one switch. In a large
and small tap change, there are 6 evaluated torques and during a reverse
switching action 2 evaluated torques.
The database of evaluated torques is mainly used to retain data about the
switching actions over a longer period. The database containing raw torque
data contains fewer data records per sector because a large amount of data is
saved here per data record.
Torques
This database contains the raw torque data for each switching action. It also
contains switching actions which it has not been possible to evaluate. De-
pending on the tap change, the torque curve is displayed in the M1 to M8 tor-
que windows with the corresponding yellow and red limits.
Non-erasable torques
Switching actions which are incorrect due to a drop in voltage or the maximum
torque being exceeded are stored here.
Evaluated torques
The display in the TAPON®-trol also matches the way the torque is displayed
on the device. The graphic display shows the torque limit values (Md/Nm) and
torque ranges M1 to M8 and their parameters as limit index values in tap-
change indicator sections (SSE). The following is defined for displaying and
parameter setting for the torque limits and torque window ranges:
Definition
Change-over selector switching operation
Mcos
Small step
Msss
Large step
MIss
Reverse switching operation
Mrs
The adjustable maximum torque limits but also red warning limits are set un-
der the "Limit values" menus (Mcos, -Msss, -MIss, -Mrs), in absolute values
(Nm). They are indicated by the upper limit line. The yellow warning limits
which are set as percentages of the maximum limits are marked by the lower
limit line.
For more information on the device settings, please read the TAPGUARD®
260 operating instructions.
The function monitoring system calculates the contact wear of the range of
switching and resistor contact series of the diverter switch using given factors:
You can update the current contact wear using the "Download" button.
>=90 % yellow
100 % red
You can update all data on the current status using the "Update" button and
can therefore be displayed.
5.6 Remote
The current displays for the device are read out in the remote display and
shown within the framework of a diagrammatic front plate.
The progress bar helps in judging how up-to-date the display content and LED
status are. Once the preset interval between 2 image alignments has lapsed,
the display content is automatically downloaded and the LED status queried.
Before the transfer starts, the progress bar is reset and the progress dis-
played.
All the front plate keys shown can be operated by means of a single mouse
click. The "Button click" is transferred between the display content alignment.
The service information is available to you once the service password is en-
tered. The "Service" is then added to the menu bar with the following sub-
items:
The internal database structure for events, torques and wear is based on
erasable and non-erasable databases. While the erasable memory is over-
written depending on the amount of data produced and the memory time pe-
riod, data for critical operating statuses is stored in the non-erasable memory.
This memory cannot be automatically erased and rewritten by the device.
Space in the memory is made available for non-erasable data using the "Re-
set non-erasable databases" function.
Once the erase function starts, you can define whether all databases or just
individual databases are to be erased.
Proceed as follows to reset the non-erasable databases using the menu bar:
This database provides the service with an up-to-date overview of the memo-
ry structure. The data can be converted into an XLS format using the "Pro-
duce Excel file".
This database contains all parameter changes along with time and parameter
value. The data can be converted into an XLS format using the "Produce Ex-
cel file".
Since the 24.08.2010 firmware version, the TAPGUARD® 260 has featured a
database with motor data. This database is used to document tap change
processes. The motor data files can be selected by number and when they
were saved.
In principle all values recorded can be converted into a format compatible with
MS Excel.
If the modules contain diagrams and tables, this information can be converted
into Excel format (xls). The conversion process can be undertaken using the
menu bar or toolbar.

5.8.1 Printing
The print functions are in the two menu elements - the menu bar and toolbar.
Proceed as follows to undertake the print function via the menu bar:
The printer can either be set with the aid of the control panel (Microsoft oper-
ating system) or using the TAPCON®-trol.
Once you have selected the "Display" button, the print preview appears.
The corresponding table graphics are printed depending on the current dis-
play. If there is no print function provided for a display, the print function of the
parameters of the parameter record currently selected is automatically acti-
vated.
If you are in a graphic window when evaluating the data, you can zoom in on
or zoom out from parts of the graphs. You can activate the zoom in/zoom out
function using the menu bar or toolbar.
Alongside these menu items, you can also select an area you want to zoom
into using the mouse. Proceed as follows:
The magnifying glass symbol in the toolbar can be used to reduce the size of
the graphic. Alternatively you use the mouse to draw a negative window.
Proceed as follows:
You can move the curves shown in the graphic manually as you wish.
Proceed as follows:
The line of the curve can be extended beyond the limits of the area you have
zoomed into.
If there are any changes to the device firmware, MR-FlashTools allows you to
update the device software on the device. The communication settings used
for a regular online connection are needed in this instance.

5.10.3 CopyMachine
The CopyMachine can be used to download device firmware and data. This
data is then evaluated by Maschinenfabrik Reinhausen to remedy faults. The
following files are created using the CopyMachine and are needed for the
evaluation:
EEPROM.BIN
FLASH.BIN
RTC.BIN
