Additional specifications and description
How Do TCMF8 Controllers Work, and What Are Their Connectivity Options?
TCMF8 controllers require application specific firmware. Typically, they regulate fan speed based on the input of the connected sensors or potentiometers. Application specific firmware can be downloaded via SenteraWeb - your personal HVAC cloud platform. This controller has an integrated internet gateway that can be connected via Wi-Fi or via a LAN cable. Once the firmware is downloaded the TCMF8 controller can work stand alone or it can stay connected to SenteraWeb.What is the Sentera Internet Network For, and What are Its Benefits?
Sentera’s Internet gateway is a device intended for use in building automation and smart building systems to connect Sentera’s products to the Cloud – SenteraWeb.
Simply put, it is a physical device that connects Sentera’s devices to the Cloud. It can serve for both Ethernet and wireless access to Sentera’s Internet of Things. It enables users to remotely control and monitor their HVAC systems through a smartphone, computer, or other smart devices and typically provides the following functionalities:
- Remote control: Users can adjust temperature settings, set schedules, and control HVAC modes remotely, enhancing energy efficiency and comfort.
- Monitoring: Users can monitor the performance of their HVAC systems, receive alerts for issues or maintenance needs, and track energy usage.
- Data logging: It stores data, which can be useful for analyzing HVAC performance and trends.
The gateway of Sentera enhances the functionality and accessibility of HVAC systems, making them more convenient to manage and potentially more energy-efficient.
Where Can I Find and Utilize Application-Specific Firmware?
We offer a limited number of specific firmware versions for typical HVAC applications (e.g. destratification, demand based fan speed control, etc). First select the required functionality via our website's solution page, then download the application specific firmware. If necessary, it is possible to adjust some settings via the Modbus Holding registers. No programming is required!What Types of Fans Does the Controller Support, and How Does It Operate?
This controller has two outputs to control AC fans with single-phase motor. The maximum combined current is 6 A per output. Fan speed is regulated by reducing motor voltage via phase angle control / TRIAC technology.
An AC fan is a fan powered by alternating current. It plays a crucial role in facilitating the circulation of air within heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems. AC fans are commonly used in various cooling applications to dissipate heat generated by electronic components or to enhance air circulation in buildings.
How Are External Sensors Connected, and What is PoM?
External HVAC sensors or potentiometers can be connected via Modbus RTU communication or via the analogue inputs. To simplify wiring of the external devices, 24 Volt supply is available via the RJ45 socket. The 24 Volt supply and Modbus communication can be distributed via one cable - we call it Power over Modbus or PoM. All settings can be adjusted via the Modbus Holding registers.
Where and How Should the Controller Be Mounted?
The enclosure of the TCMF8 is designed for indoor use and can be installed on a wall or panel. It is important to ensure that the location where it is installed allows for sufficient cooling to prevent overheating. This helps maintain optimal operating conditions and prolongs the life of the controller.
The enclosure is constructed from high-quality r-ABS VO (UL94) plastic and, what is more, it is manufactured in our own factory. The type of plastic used is known for its flame-extinguishing properties, toughness, and resistance to impacts. The enclosure offers an IP54 protection rating.
