The touch control TC5 (hereinafter referred to as TC5) is a KNX S-Mode multi-functional touch panel for display, operation and control. The device offers a 5-inch color capacitive touch screen at a resolution of 480 × 854.

The device is powered over KNX and DC 24...30 V auxiliary supply voltage.

It is operated directly via touch screen and provides a total of 15 function pages and 5 home pages that are configured via ETS (ETS5.7 or later).

The device can be horizontally and vertically mounted and operated.

Functions:

  • Home page (navigation)
    TC5 can set up multiple function pages for control and operation. Max. 5 home pages with max. 8 icons allow easy navigation to the desired function page. The navigation function can be enabled/disabled, but if disabled, the device goes to the first configured function page.
  • Multi-function page for lighting, solar protection, scene control, send value and display value or text
    • Lighting control includes switching and dimming.
    • Brightness + color temperature: Brightness dimming and color temperature control
    • Solar protection covers curtain open/close, roller shutter up/down and venetian blinds with louver angle adjustment.
    • Scene control by short pressing the scene icon to recall or long pressing to save.
    • Send value: Tap any icon to send the telegram to the bus.
    • Display values including freely configurable unit text.
  • HVAC control covers several applications:
    • General temperature control for multiple room heating/cooling applications such as FCU, chilled ceiling with 2-point or PI control. Room temperature control via setpoint (absolute or relative), heating/cooling selection, fan operation (2 options: Not visible when fan operation is disabled; 5 types of fan speeds: 3-speed, Off and Auto when enabled), operating mode changes (4 modes: Comfort, Standby, Economy and Protection).
    • VRF (variable refrigerant flow) interface allowing the TC5 to act as user interface to operate VRF or VRV (variable refrigerant volume) air conditioning devices with a KNX to VRF gateway.
    • Enhanced floor heating control and scene functions as well as on-screen indication of heating valve on/off and timer operation.
    • Ventilation control with manual 3-speed fan changeover as well as auto control (demand-based ventilation) via PM2.5 or CO2 values. Support of opening/closing heat recovery, filter life count, alarm to change filter and reset filter life.
  • Max. 10 pages can be configured as HVAC control.
  • Display air quality value from bus
    Page displaying various sensor readings such as temperature, relative humidity, PM2.5, PM10, CO2, VOC, AQI, brightness, wind speed and rain. Max. 4 parameters can be displayed per page and a total of 10 pages can be configured as display page.
  • Display energy metering value from bus
    Max. 8 meters can be displayed on one page and a total of 10 pages can be configured.
  • Timer (schedule) function
    Max. 16 schedules can be set: Daily or weekly and can be configured via ETS and HMI.
