possible edit user parameter definition.
Note: This functionality is available only in some controllers. Controller must have Configuration format to 9
or higher (Click on Control / Controller Info in ribbon).
Note: Number of user parameters is limited (limit is applied to each I/O type independently). Each ECU has
its own limit.
Note: Definition of all user J1939 Parameters (regardless of I/O use) is stored in configuration.
Customization Possibilities:
1. Define own set of fault codes sent by ECU
2. Modify predefined set of fault codes sent by ECU
3. Setting own user messages
4. Changing the visibility of some messages

Note: Some parameters are hidden when specific MODBUS device is selected. In this case, hidden
parameters are predefined in definition file (MSF/MSC) and cannot be changed.
Note: All module datapoint definitions of module which is in configuration (ComAp and User, regardless of
whether they are used in an I/O configuration) are stored in configuration. Displayed name and version of
definition is from configuration, not from definition stored in PC. Picture is not stored in configuration and is
always loaded from PC.
Number of I/Os
When MODBUS device is added in configuration, it is possible set number of I/Os. Resources are shared
between MODBUS device and Engine unit. Total number of I/Os depends on controller type and FW version.
Datapoints
Datapoint is definition of value which is communicated. Datapoint can be used on I/O Configuration to read or
write data from or to MODBUS device.
Datapoint parameters (not all parameters are available, some parameters are irelevant for some types of
datapoints).
Name: User name of datapoint. Name must be unique for each MODBUS device.
Address: MODBUS Address
Function: List of supported MODBUS functions
Datapoint operations:
- Add new Datapoint for specific device. Number of datapoints is limited.
- Clone selected Datapoint. This is quick way how to create new Datapoint with similar parameters.
- Delete selected Datapoint. When Datapoint is used in I/O configuration, after confirmation will be deleted
also I/O definition.
- Edit selected Datapoint. Datapoint can be edited also by doubleclick. When Datapoint is used in I/O
definition and I/O Type is changed, after confirmation this Datapoint is removed from I/O definition (it is not
more compatible with specific I/O).
- Import saved list of Datapoints. Current list of Datapoints is deleted before import. When imported
Datapoint name is the same as current one and I/O Type of both datapoints is the same, Datapoint remains
used in I/O definition. Otherwise this datapoint is removed from I/O Configuration.
- Export current list of datapoints. This list can be used in different configuration.
Group operations:
- Add new Group. Function used for each Group is assigned automatically based on function defined for
first datapoint added into group.
- Delete selected Group. If the group contains any data points, these data points will first be removed from
the group.
Note: Group reading availability depends on controller type and its version of Firmware.

CAN modules
Configuration of CAN modules with slots
This system is supported in controllers up to Configuration Format 9.
In case your controller supports CAN modules (external modules connected via CAN link), you can add
supported modules to offered CAN slots. Number of slots and list of supported modules depends on default
configuration provided by ComAp.
To add CAN module(s):
1. Open the online / offline connection with the controller.
4. Select wanted CAN module from a list, set module index (if applicable) and click at
button.
5. Set required CAN module properties. Pay attention to correct settings on module itself, usually described
on picture of module.
4. Select wanted CAN module from the list and click at button. Only available
CANmodules are in the list.
5. Set required CAN module properties. Pay attention to correct settings on module itself, usually described
on picture of module.
Set correct "Module Index". This field determine address used for communication with module. Offered
are only available indexes (list of indexes depends on other CAN modules in configuration and resources
in Controller).
6. It is possible select protection when communication with module is interrupted. Activation of this protection
could be indicated by binary value in User Protection States by check this option in Module Settings.
Binary value is automatically named by protection type (Wrn or Sd) and module name (for example "Wrn
MyModule").
7. Go to I/O Configuration for added CAN module and set I/O configuration for this module.
Generic Modules
When configuring CAN Modules, physical module is usually use (like Inteli AIN8, Inteli IO8/8 etc.). But this
system has some limitations:
Some modules allows set different address for inputs and outputs. In this system is combination input and
output address fixed.
It is required to configure some specific module which coud have variable number of I/Os (and use
variable number of addresses) like InteliFieldbus Gateway.
It is required to configure some special module which is not officially supported
To offer more, generic modules system was added .
Note: To delete PLC block just click on it and press delete button. Also delete selection function can by used.
Note: For more information about the PLC block functionality, select the block and press the F1 button.
Outputs
Sheet outputs are located at the right side of a sheet. Follow the procedure below to add or edit an output.
Double-click on a free output position to add new binary or analog sheet output.
Double-click on an already created binary output to configure it onto a binary output terminal or a logical
Binary input (first of all some PLC block output has to be connected to this output to enable its
configuration).
Double-click on an already created analog output to configure it onto an analog output terminal or a logical
Analog input (first of all some PLC block output has to be connected to this output to enable its
configuration).
Creating wires
Wires can be created between PLC inputs and PLC blocks and between PLC blocks and PLC outputs.
IMPORTANT: Keep the order of starting and finishing connection points. Wires between inputs
and blocks have to start from inputs. Wires between blocks and outputs have to start from
blocks.
Note: It is possible to make connection only between the outputs and inputs with the same type of value
(binary or analog). Binary values are marker by black pointer, analog values are marked with green pointer.
Note: To delete wire just click on it and press delete button on your keyboard. Also delete selection function
can by used by selecting more objects and clicking on the delete selection button
Multisheet
There is support of Multisheet functionality. It is possible create more sheets, for example each sheet for
specific functionality.
Note: Multisheet functionality is connected only with right version of InteliConfig. It is not conditioned by the
controller version.
Import/Export
It is possible Export selected PLC sheet into file. This file can be used to import this PLC sheet into different
configuration.
When importing file into selected PLC sheet, user is asked to confirm that current content of PLC sheet will be
deleted.
During process this data are imported:
All PLC blocks including their settings.
Wiring between PLC blocks
Sheet name and description
Connection to LBI/LAI if this LBI/LAI is not already connected to any source
Data not imported:
Source signals from rest of configuration including other PLC sheets
Connection to physical outputs
IMPORTANT: You can get unexpected error message when connecting to controller or opening
configuration with more PLC sheets in configuration from older version of InteliConfig (without
support of PLC Multisheet). In this case download and install latest version of InteliConfig (PLC
Multisheet is supported from version 2.17.0).
Note: Number of PLC Blocks on one sheet is limited to 30 if they are added manually. However, it is possible
import PLC Sheet with more than 30 PLC blocks. When more PLC Blocks are needed, split functionalitu
between 2 or more PLC Sheets.
Export
Each PLC sheet can be exported to file. Exported is name of PLC sheet, description, content of sheet (PLC
blocks, its settings, wiring, layout...).
It is possible export only one sheet at once. There is no option to export all PLC sheets into one file.
Import
It is possible import PLC sheet definition inot selected PLC sheet. When PLC sheet is not empty, the user is
warned that its contents will be overwritten.
Imported are only some definitions from saved file.
This is not imported:
Inputs of PLC blocks which are connected to any object out of this PLC sheet
Outputs of PLC blocks which are connected any I/O (Binary or Analog outputs of Controller or its physical
or virtual modules)
Connections to LAI/LBI are imported when exists in configuration and are not already assigned to
other source
Other functions
Search
Use this function to search in all inputs, outputs and sheet names. Search will go through all sheets (including
collapsed) and highlight all occurrences with an option to go through them one by one.
Hints
Use this function to enable or disable quick hints for blocks (controller help is not affected by this function).
PLC monitor
PLC monitor is a powerful tool for monitoring your PLC . Just click on PLC monitor button on main InteliConfig
page to see your PLC. Active inputs and outputs have blue color. Also wires with active signals have blue
color.
IMPORTANT: It is not possible to edit PLC in PLC monitor tool.
6.2.12 Others
In the Configuration window use the bookmark of Controller for the advanced configuration, you can either:
Change the Init screen. For more information see Init screen on page 94.
Change the Languages of the controller. For more information see Languages on page 94.
Init screen
Init screen is shown each time when the controller is started up when enabled. Here you can change the
message you want to be shown during the controller start up.
1. Open the online / offline connection with the controller.
Languages tab
In this tab it is possible to manage list of languages in configuration and make own translations.
Languages
ComAp controllers support different languages. For their configuration:
1. Open the online / offline connection with the controller.
Note: First language, English, is a basic language of the controller and can't be removed.
Translator
Translator allows user translation of any text in controller configuration.
1. Open the online / offline connection with the controller.
Each available language has its own Default dictionary with translations prepared by ComAp. If there is no
translation in this dictionary or user wants to use different translation, automatically is created User dictionary
for specific language to store all user translations. The User dictionary takes precedence over the Default
dictionary. The User dictionary can be exported to disk and imported on another PC. But only one User
dictionary for each language can exists on PC.
Translator use color indication for each text to indicate different states
Text not translated. It is possible to use user translation.
Text in specific language is the same as in English and does not exist in User or Default
dictionary.
Text has been translated earlier but there is no translation in current dictionaries. It is possible
to add this text to user dictionary.
Text in specific language is different from English (text was translated earlier by different user)
and there is no translation in User or Default dictionary.
Text translated using user dictionary. It is possible to remove this text from user dictionary.
Text has been translated earlier, but there is a different translation in the current dictionaries. It
is possible to add / update translations in user dictionary.
Text cannot be translated. This is default language or default dictionary for this language is missing.
Because User dictionary is connected with Default dictionary for specific language, it cannot exist when there is no Default
dictionary.
It is possible to export dictionaries to the disk as package (extension is .psidict). User can select which
dictionaries will be included into package. Displayed are only languages where User dictionary exists.
Exported is always pair of dictionaries (User nad Default) – It is usefull, if it is required to copy Used
dictionaries from one PC to another.
During import (allowed are only packages with extension .psidict) can user select which dictionaries will be
imported. It is not necessarry to import all dictionaries contained in package.
Note: When importing dictionaries, existing dictionaries are rewrited by imported ones.
Access rules
Depending on controller type and firmware version, in controller is one of three existing User Managements
versions.
In the old User Management, the access level is defined by entering the password for the given level.
There are 4 levels. Level 0 for a non-logged-in user and Level 1-3 for a logged-in user. Level 3 has
There are different ways how to define rights to Setpoints and commands.
Setting of access rules for old User Management and User Management ver. 2:
1. Open the online / offline connection with the controller.
User 0 can be allowed to either read only or read and write the setpoint
User 1 can be allowed to either read only or read and write the setpoint
User 2 can be allowed to either read only or read and write the setpoint
Image 6.33 Access rules window for old User Management and User Management ver. 2
The user is able to see the value of the setpoint but he is not allowed to change it
Read and Write
The user is allowed to see and change the value of the setpoint
In addition it is possible to choose the visibility of the Setpoint. It is defined by Adv. only checkbox:
Checked - The setpoint is visible at the controller only when switched to Advanced mode
It is possible to set following rights for each role independently to each other.
Read Only (checkbox unchecked)
The user is able to see the value of the setpoint but he is not allowed to change it
The user is allowed to see and change the value of the setpoint
The user has the right to write a setpoint if he is a member of at least one role for which the
checkbox is checked.
The Administrator role is always assigned all rights.
Note: Columns Modbus and SNMP are settings for terminals connected via Modbus or SNMP protocols.
In this case there is no standard User Management using username and password.
In addition it is possible to choose the visibility of the Setpoint. It is defined byIs Advanced checkbox:
Checked - The setpoint is visible at the controller only when switched to Advanced mode
Controller supports access to most its objects using Modbus protocol. This window allows to define list of
Modbus registers and its meaning (connection Modbus register <->controller object).
In configuration are three groups of objects. Each group has assigned range of Modbus registers.
Binary objects: <0...999>
Values: <1000...2999>
Setpoints: <3000...3999>
Default controller configuration may contain some Modbus definition. This definition can be modified based
on user needs. If there is no definition (group is empty), definition could be created.
Available operations:
– Add new Modbus register. Free Modbus register is predefined as default, can be changed in allowed
range. Controller object is selected from the list.
– Import Modbus definition from file. This replaces while Modbus definition in configuration (remove all
defined Modbus registers and import Modbus registers from file).
Each Modbus register can contain 2 bytes of data. In controller exist objects, which are bigger than 2 bytes
(statistics values, text setpoints...). It is necessary to use more Modbus registers for this objects. When
configuring Modbus register for this object, only first Modbus register is chosen by user. System automatically
use following registers for other bytes (Modbus register is increased by +1). There must be enough free space
in Modbus table definition to allow create appropriate number of Modbus registers. Othervise Modbus register
cannot be added. This Modbus registers are in gray, it means cannot be edited or deleted separately.
There is example of Modbus definition for setpoint Gen-set name:
Firewall
Firewall rules are used to explicitly define parameters of incoming TCP/UDP communication, which will be
accepted by the controller. All other communication will be dropped. Firewall is by default disabled on
controllers, which support this functionality.
A firewall rule definition consists of:
1. IP address
2. Address mask
3. Port
History Editor
Each configuration has definition of history, it means which values are stored in each history record. It is
possible to change this definition based on user's need on this tab.
Allowed operations:
Add value into definition
Remove value from definition
Change order of values in definition
Change abbreviation of each value
Export and import history definition
Each value can be in the definition only once.
When new value is added, abbreviation is automatically predefined for ECU, CAN modules or Virtual
modules. For other values it is predefined as " " (one space) - this field cannot be empty. Abbreviation can be
changed by user.
Controller has dedicated space for each history record. This space cannot be exceeded. Used/available
space in history record is indicated by fill indicator below. When there is no space in history definition, value
cannot be added (each value use different space so it could be possible add only some values when space
for history is almost full).
History definition could be exported and imported into different configuration. During import, some values
might not be imported if they are missing in target configuration.
When History Editor is available for controller, there are changes for history in module management (tab
Modules). It is possible to add all module values into history by checking Add to history option before module
is added. This option is unchecked by default for Virtual modules. There is a check that enough space is
available in history definition. If not, some values might not be added and user is informed about it. In this
case, use History Editor to remove some less important values from the definition.
Note: This editor may not be available for all controllers
Note: When Configuration Lock is used, PLC definition is ciphered. Configuration Lock can be used also
without any PLC definition in Configuration.
Note: Configuration Lock is supported only in some Controllers and only from specific FW version. For detail,
see Controller manual.
Consistency check could be manually started by user by click on button located near
Write button. Consistency check is also automatically started when "Write" is clicked and during "Save As"
from Configuration window. Consistency check is available in Configuration.
User is noticed about all inconsistencies in configuration in separate window. This window can be kept
displayed as long as the Configuration window is open. To refresh data, click on button in this

6.7 Security
Security bookmark allows to Change password (ver. 1) (page 115)Change access code (page 116)
Note: For the information how to log in see Login on page 109 or how to log out see Logout on page 109.
Note: List of security functions depends on Controller type and Firmware version.
IMPORTANT: Box with email address in change Password window is visible only if controller
support Password reset function. We strongly recommend to set up email address for
administrator account if your controller supports Password reset. This email address is
necessary for Password reset function.
It is also possible import user management definition from file. Click on Bulk User Editor to open editor
window, click on import icon and when OK, click on Write. This remove whole user management from the
controller and upload new one. When finish, first user with access level 3 is automatically logged in.
The difference between User Management ver. 4 and User Management ver. 2 is as follows.
User Management ver. 2 defined Levels (a higher level always has at least the same rights as a lower level).
The rights of level x were therefore dependent on the rights of a lower level.
User Management ver. 4 introduces so-called Roles instead of Levels. The roles are mutually independent.
In User Management ver. 2, a user could be assigned exactly one of the 4 levels. In User Management ver. 4,
a user can be a member of any combination of roles (that is, he can be a member of one to eight roles in any
combination).
Another change in User Management ver. 4 occurred in the definition of rights for changing Setpoints and
executing Commands (Configuration window - Others - Access rules). Here again, the assignment of these
rights to specific roles is independent. The only exception is the Administrator role, which has retained full
rights (these rights cannot be removed).
There are also 2 new columns - Modbus and SNMP. It is now possible to define the rights of other devices
accessing the controller via Modbus or SNMP protocol. It is therefore necessary to limit the group of setpoints
that can be changed via these protocols.
There is a little different indication of logged-in user in ribbon and in other places.
When a user who is a member of the Administrator role is logged in, a green unlocked lock with the letter A
is displayed.
When a user who is not a member of the Administrator role is logged in, a green unlocked lock without a
letter is displayed.
When no user is logged in and Production Mode is not active, a red lock is displayed.
When no user is logged in but Production Mode is active, a blue unlocked lock with the letter A is
displayed
There is tooltip on icon indicating membership of logged-in user in Roles.
For configuration in InteliConfig go to Tools bookmark and in section Security click on User Administration
(icon ) - User Management. A window User Management appears.
It is also possible import user management definition from file. Click on Bulk User Editor to open editor
window, click on import icon and when OK, click on Write. This remove whole user management from the
controller and upload new one. When finish, first user with administrator rights is automatically logged in.
Note: When upgrading from Firmware version with User Management ver. 2 to Firmware version with User
Management ver. 4, all existing users are automatically transformed from Levels to Roles. Also configuration
is updated, so finally real user rights remain the same.
IMPORTANT: Downgrade from Firmware with User Management ver. 4 to Firmware with User
Management ver. 2 is limited only to controllers that have Production Mode functionality. During
this operation, User Management is reset and a default user is created in the controller.
Controllers that do not support Production Mode cannot be downgraded.
Note: All user parameters must fulfill the same general rules as when creating user in online window
Note: All user parameters (including password and PIN) are visible to all, who has access to exported file on
disk. Keep this files on secured place.
IMPORTANT: Box with email address in change Password window is visible only if controller
support Password reset function. We strongly recommend to set up email address for
administrator account if your controller supports Password reset. This email address is
necessary for Password reset function.
Note: How to set up recovery email see Change password (ver. 1) on page 115.

To change the SNMP password open the drop-down button Access Administration in the Tools part of the
Ribbon bar. Change SNMP Password button is active only if the administrator is logged in and the control unit
supports the functionality.
6 back to Configuration
The ScreenEditor is an integrated tool which allows the user to modify the layout of the screens in the internal
and external displays.
The default layout of the screens is given in the default archive of the respective firmware and InteliConfig
modifies it automatically when extension modules are added into/removed from the configuration. However,
some users may want to rearrange the information on the screens in a different way to fit better their needs.
The ScreenEditor allows adding of new screens, modifying of present screens as well as removing unneeded
screens. Also exporting screens to XML files and reimporting them back (e.g. into another archive) is
possible.
Click to the instrument to select it. Hold "CTRL" key while clicking to select more than one instrument.
Drag the instrument up or down within the list to change the z-order.
Press DEL key to delete the selected instrument(s).
Right-click on a screen in the structure to show the context menu.

Position properties are updated automatically while the instrument is being moved in the virtual screen. It
is also possible to modify them manually.
All other properties are to be modified manually if the original value does not fit.
If multiple instruments are selected it is possible to modify all properties that are common for all selected
instruments. If a text <multi select> is displayed in a property, it means the value is different for the
selected instruments.
Shows and hides the grid. Click to the arrow on the right of the icon to select the grid density.

Activates and deactivates the function "snap to grid". If this function is active the objects (their
reference points) can be placed only onto the grid points when they are being dragged or moved
by arrow keys. The snap to grid function is overridden if CTRL + arrow keys are used to move the
object as well as if the position properties are edited directly.
Pastes the content of the clipboard into the screens. If the clipboard contains a whole screen(s)
the screens are inserted to the existing screens before the active screen. If the clipboard
contains instrument(s) it is appended to the active screen.
Cancels the last undo operation and returns back to the original state before undo was
performed.
Shows and hides instrument borders. This function helps to prevent overlapping of instruments,
which might not be clearly visible if the instruments have the same color as the background.
Validates a consistency of screen definitions. When the consistency check finds any problem
then the application shows window with list of inconsistencies.
Note: Some of the instruments are intended for use in specific screen types only. E.g. ButtonCMD are to be
used only in Status bar screens as their function is linked to the position on the screen and to the hardware
buttons. On the other hand pointer meters are intended for using only on the metering screens as they are too
big to fit anywhere else.
Metering screens are editable, can be also added and removed. always at least one screen must remain
in the configuration. These screens contain measured and/or computed values, texts, simple drawings
etc.
Status bar bottom screens are editable and can be added and removed. Status bar bottom screens are
linked to metering screens (i.e. together create pairs) and are displayed together. The pairs need not to be
1:1, it is possible to link one Status bar bottom screen to multiple metering screens (or even to all).
Add screen will insert a blank screen before the currently selected one.
Delete screen will remove the currently selected screen.
Cut screen will remove the currently selected screen and place it into the clipboard.
Copy screen will copy the currently selected screen into the clipboard.
Paste screen will insert the screen stored in the clipboard (if there i s any) before the currently selected
one.
Import screen function will import the screen from an XML file and replaces the currently selected
screen.
Export screen function will export the currently selected screen into an XML file.
Editing screens
First select the screen, which you want to edit. To do so, click on the desired screen in the screens structure
panel. The content of the screen will appear in the screen content panel. Then you can edit the screen.
