2. About this manual
This manual is designed to be an aid during installation and use of Corrigo E tool. It describes all the functions unique to
the program. The Corrigo E control parameters however are not described here. For detailed information on these,
please see the manual for the controller in question.
3. Installation
To install and run Corrigo E tool you need a PC running Windows 2000 or Windows XP.
To run Corrigo Web, you need Internet Explorer 7.0 or later and Java.
To communicate with a Corrigo you need a special communication cable, E-Cable.
Corrigo E tool is delivered as a self-installing program on a CD, or can be downloaded from Regin’s homepage
(www.regin.se).
Load the CD and follow the on-screen instructions, or download the program folder from www.regin.se. Unzip the folder
and run the setup.exe file, which you will find in the unzipped folder.
4. About Corrigo E tool
Corrigo E tool Heating, Corrigo E tool Ventilation and Corrigo E tool Boiler are Windows based PC-programs for the
configuration and maintenance of the various Corrigo E series controllers.
Corrigo E tool has not been designed with the intention of being a full SCADA program.
The display window is divided into several parts:
At the top there is a menu bar with standard Windows type drop-down menus
Below the menu bar there is a Toolbar which gives direct access to various functions. All the functions in the E toolbar
are also accessible through the menu bar system.
Below the E toolbar there is a row of folder tabs giving access to a number of folders that can be shown, one at a time in
the area below the tabs.
At the bottom of the window is the Status bar.
This manual will mainly describe the functions of the items in the menu bar and the E toolbar. These functions are the
same for all the Corrigo applications.
Since the contents of the folders vary depending on which of the programs you are running they will not be covered in
detail in this manual. Use the appropriate Corrigo E controller manual for reference.

Corrigo E tool Rev. D
5. Startup
The installation program will have placed a Corrigo E tool folder in the Programs folder in the Start menu. This folder
contains the links to Corrigo E tool Heating, Corrigo E tool Ventilation and Corrigo E tool Boiler.
To start either program, click on the Start button at the lower left hand corner of the display. Then click on Programs, the
folder Corrigo E tool and finally the program you wish to run. To avoid having to go through the Start folder, you can
create a shortcut on the desktop by pointing at the program name, click and hold the right hand mouse button and drag
the program name from the folder onto the desktop. Release the button and click on "Create shortcut here".
On start-up Corrigo E tool will automatically search for any controller connected to the computer and connect to it if it is
of a type suitable to the program being loaded. If no suitable Corrigo controller is found the program will start offline.
Corrigo E tool always starts with a box where you enter which Corrigo model you are using. The Overview folder is also
displayed. Make sure that you enter the correct model, or strange things may occur in the control and alarm handling.

Corrigo E tool Rev. D
6. Menu bar
The menu bar has five drop-down menus:
6.1 File
These items are used to handle configuration files. The data describing a configuration can be saved as a file. Any
number of different configurations can be saved, the only limit being available disk space. The file will have a .vtc
extension and needs about 22 kb of disk space.
New
New will open a new unnamed file. A box appears where you can choose if you wish to create an E8, E15 or E28. Make
sure that you choose the correct model. If you load an incorrect model in a Corrigo, unexplainable alarms etc. may
appear since certain functions can be activated that are not visible in the present model.
Open
Opens a saved file.
Save
Saves the current file to disk. If the file is unnamed you will be prompted for a name.
Save as
Saves the current file to disk using a new name of your choice.
Read only
This item can normally be ignored. Should you for some reason open two instances for the same file one of them will be
marked as Read only to prevent data conflict.
Print
Will give a printed list showing all the configuration settings of the present file.
Exit
Close Corrigo E tool. If the present configuration is unsaved you will be asked if you wish to save it before closing down.
6.2 Edit
The edit menu only contains one item:
Delete
Delete is only used in conjunction with Holiday periods. Use delete to remove assigned periods.
5
Corrigo E tool Rev. D
6.3 View
The view menu contains one item.
Refresh
E tool is not a dynamic program. If a parameter value is changed in a connected Corrigo, for example a Temperature, the
corresponding value in E tool will not automatically be updated. The E tool user must initiate reading of parameter values
from the controller.
Update initiates a reading of all dynamic parameters from the connected controller. The display is updated with the new
values.
When you change between display tabs, an update is automatically initiated.
Alternatively, the Update button in the Toolbar (see Toolbar below) or the F5 key on the computer keyboard can be used.
You can choose to auto refresh pictures with dynamic values, i.e. an automatic finger that presses F5 at settable
intervals. See ”Options” on page 9.
If the controller revision is older than the E tool revision, you are asked what you want to do to make them compatible. Se
section 9.
6.4 Tools
Load all parameters
Download all present parameters from Corrigo E tool to the Corrigo E controller.
Synchronize all parameters
All parameter values in the Corrigo E are compared with the corresponding values in Corrigo E tool. All discrepancies will
be listed. All items in the list are normally tick-marked. By removing the tick-mark from an item you can exclude it from
the selection. You can then choose to update E tool using the controller values or update the controller using the E tool
values.
Reset all parameters to default values
Resets all Corrigo E tool parameter values to default values.
6
Corrigo E tool Rev. D
Search for controllers
If, on startup, Corrigo E tool fails to establish contact with a connected controller it is usually due to an address mismatch.
This function will search through all the possible addresses and list the addresses of the unit that is connected to the
computer. These addresses are then written into the address fields in the folder Configuration / System.
Set controller date and time
Will synchronize the controller date and time with the computer date and time.
Change controller addresses
This function is used for changing the addresses of the connected controller. The address is normally 254:254. If the
controller is intended to be used in an EXOline network, the addresses must be changed since the connected controllers
have different addresses.
Reload the controller
Downloads the current control program from E tool to the controller.
Use this function to install updated program revisions. You can also use it to convert a Corrigo E Heating to a Corrigo E
Ventilation or a Corrigo E Boiler and vice versa. Note, though, that since the hardware differs between controllers of
different sizes, the E tool program and the Corrigo model must be compatible. For example, to load a Corrigo E15, the E
tool program must be made for an E15. Otherwise, unexpected events may take place.
7
Corrigo E tool Rev. D
Reload the Web-site to the controller
Downloads the configuration to the webserver in the Corrigo. A model with TCP/IP communication must be used. More
details in chapter 11.
Log on
Corrigo E has three different log-on levels, 1, 3 and 5.
5 is the basic level with the lowest access, 3 is operator level giving more access and 1 is system level with full access.
As default Corrigo comes with the following passwords for the different levels:
System
1111
Operator
3333
Basic
5555
Should you try to perform an operation which requires a higher access level than the one you have, you will be prompted
to change log-on level.
Log off
Is only active if you are logged on as Operator or System. Enables log-off to the basic level.
Change password
Is only active if you are logged on as Operator or System. Permits change of the password for the present log-on level.
Real time chart
Creates a real time chart. Up to four parameters of your choice can be logged. The chosen parameters are listed at the
bottom of the screen together with information on colour, which of the vertical scales it is referring to and latest recorded
value. The chart has left and right vertical scales with individually settable ranges. The horizontal timeline can be
changed so that the chart window can show longer or shorter intervals. Using the scrollbar at the bottom of the chart you
can scroll along the timeline to show any position since the recording started. Values are recorded every 5 seconds. All
recorded values can be saved to a textfile for later use in, for example, a spread-sheet program.
The chart cannot be saved. On exiting all values and settings are lost.

Communication settings
Setting of the communication between E tool and controller.
Which communication is suggested depends on which Corrigo model has been loaded into E tool at start-up. Serial
communication is suggested for all models except Corrigo Web.
Click on Communication channels and then on Serial.
10
Corrigo E tool Rev. D
Check that the suggested Com port corresponds to the Com port which the computer has assigned to E-cable. You can
see which Com port has been assigned in the Control panel / System / Device Manager / Ports (COM & LPT).
If you have opened E tool with a Corrigo Web, you can choose if the communication should take place via E-cable (serial)
or via the TCP/IP port.
TCP/IP communication
If the controller has a TCP/IP port, it can communicate via a TCP/IP network. This is done by selecting Use a TCP/IP
There are three ways to connect a controller with a TCP/IP port to a network for communication with a main computer:
By pressing on TCP/IP, WEB-site and E-mail settings, you can choose between three different connection
possibilities:
1. Crossover network cable
2. Automatically by DHCP (dynamic IP address)
3. Static IP address
See chapter 11 for the remaining setting options.
Crossover network cable
In the most basic case, a crossover network cable, E Cable-TCP/IP, is used. The user is connected directly to the
controller. Connect a crossover TCP/IP-cable directly between the controller and the computer. Start E tool. Open the
tool ”Communication settings” from the menu ”Tools” or via the icon in the toolbar.
Choose ”Use a TCP/IP port in this controller”. The program will ask if you are using a crossover network cable.
Answer ”Yes” to this question. The program will now search for controllers. Since no DHCP is available, a ”broadcast”
address will be used. Therefore, it is important that the computer is only connected directly to the current controller
with a crossover Cat5-cable. If the search was successful, the controller’s IP-settings will be shown:
IP address, Subnet mask and Default Gateway (if there is one). If no values are shown: press ”Search”. A search
window will be opened and hopefully the controller’s TCP/IP card will be found and its serial number will be shown in
the window. Select the row and press ”OK”.
If the program cannot find a controller:
•
Control the cable and contacts.
•
Control if there are more active network connections (Control panel/Network connections). Inactivate all
except the ”Local area connection”.
•
Press ”Search” again.
Enter the IP address, the Subnet mask and, if any, the Gateway for the controller and press ”Load TCP/IP-settings”.
A message will be shown if the loading was successful. Press ”OK”. You may get a message that a TCP/IPconnection has been established, but a controller with the address 254:254 could not been found. Instead, a
11
Corrigo E tool Rev. D
controller with another PLA:ELA address has been found. Answer ”Yes” to the question whether this controller should
be used instead.
E tool can now be used for configuration/downloading/upgrading/synchronisation etc.
If the message ”Cannot read index variable 255:30.QSystem.PLA. Not responding.” is shown, there is no connection
between the controller’s TCP/IP card and the operating system EXOreal on the controller’s base circuit board. This
may be due to an old EXOreal-version combined with a certain version of components on the TCP/IP card. The
problem can be solved by loading the latest EXOreal-version to the controller. However, to do this a connection must
first be established (catch-22). By ”Powering up” and ”Searching” multiple times, you may be able to establish a
connection. Otherwise, the controller must be sent to Regin for upgrading.
Automatically by DHCP (dynamic IP address)
In this case, you choose the standard setting Obtain IP settings automatically (by DHCP).
This configuration is suitable for most networks equipped with a DHCP server, and, above all, when it is required that
the controllers are assigned their addresses dynamically.
The following requirements have to be fulfilled:
The DHCP server and the DNS server must cooperate since the controller sends its DNS name to the DHCP
server. The Windows 2000 Server and the Windows 2003 Server support this. The DHCP server gives the
controller an IP address and registers the IP adress and the DNS name in the DNS server.
Each DNS name must be unique.
The EXOline-TCP port, 26486, must be open from the controller to the main computer. This is especially
important when the communication passes through a firewall.
When the controller and the computer running E tool are on the same subnet, you do not have to specify a DNS
name or a Domain. When the controller and the computer are on different subnets, you have to specify the DNS
name and the Domain. You get the domain name from the network administrator.
Static IP address
In this case, the static IP address of the controller is specified.
This configuration is most suitable for networks without a DHCP Server. You can also use it if you do not trust the
network services completely, as it is the communication that has the best qualification to work when servers etc. do
not. As long as routers and switches work well, this configuration alternative will work.
The following requirements have to be fulfilled: The EXOline-TCP port, 26486, must be open from the controller to the
main computer. This is especially important when the communication passes through a firewall.
You get the static IP address, Net Mask and Default Gateway from the network administrator.

Corrigo E tool Rev. D
7. Toolbar
The toolbar provides shortcuts to some frequently used commands.
By placing the cursor over a tool icon a tool tip will be displayed giving a short description of the E tool.
All the E tools except for Refresh have been described in the menu bar description above.
8. Folders
8.1 General
The contents of the various folders depend on which of the programs E tool Heating or E tool Ventilation you are running
and also on which Corrigo model, E28, E15 or E8 the program has been configured for.
Therefore the contents will not be described in detail here.
Items in a folder that somehow belong together are grouped. Group names are displayed in bold. The groups are
normally shown expanded, that is that all the items in the group are displayed, headed by the group name. A group can
be compressed to show only the group name by clicking on the box with a - (minus) to the left of the group name. For a
compressed group the box will contain a +. Click on it to expand the group.
Setting values
Many of the folders contain settable values. If you pass the cursor over such a value a text box (tool tip) will be displayed
showing the permitted value interval.
If you have a Corrigo connected you must download a value to the Corrigo for it to become active.
Downloading can be done in several ways:
1. Right-click on any single item and choose Load parameters. This will download only that single parameter.
2. Right-click on a group name and choose Load parameters. This will download all parameters in the chosen
group.
3. Click on the Load all parameters button on the E toolbar.
4. Click on Tools on the Menu bar and choose Load all parameters.
These last two methods will, as the name implies, download all parameters to the Corrigo.
You can also synchronize parameters following the same rules as above but choose Synchronize parameters. A useful
tool to compare the settings in the Corrigo with the settings in E tool.
It is also possible to reset parameters to default values by right-clicking and choosing Reset parameters to default values.
8.2 Overview
The major part of the Overview folder displays a process diagram. The diagram is a static bitmap illustration that can be
edited using, for example Paint. Any number of different diagrams can be saved. Which diagram is displayed is governed
by the setting of the parameter Process picture in the System sub-folder in the Configuration folder.
13
Corrigo E tool Rev. D
Down the left-hand edge of the Overview folder there is a list of the most important control parameters. To update the
values, press F5 or click on the refresh button in the E tool bar. You can choose to auto refresh pictures with dynamic
values, i.e. an automatic finger that presses F5 at settable intervals. See ”Options” on page 9.
8.3 Actual / Set-point
Displays relevant setpoint values and actual values.
Real time chart
When right-clicking on some of the groups you are given the option of creating a real time chart. This chart will be
created containing the four first recordable parameters in the group.
8.4 Consumption (only E tool Heating and E tool Boiler)
Displays consumption values for Energy Meter, Heat Water Meter and Cold Water Meter. The values are calculated
using pulse constants that are set in the submenu Pulse constants in the Configuration folder.
14
Corrigo E tool Rev. D
8.5 Alarm status
Permits handling of all enabled alarms.
The alarm settings can be changed by either double-clicking on the alarm you wish to change or by marking the alarm
and then clicking on the button Settings.
Alarm settings can also be changed in the folder Settings/Alarm objects.
Note: Changes made to alarm settings must be downloaded to become active.
Alarm indications
Non-activated alarms are shown with a green status box.
Active alarms have a red box with an exclamation mark.
Reset, not acknowledged alarms have a red, green-bordered box.
Active, acknowledged alarms have a blue box with a white tick-mark.
Blocked alarms have a gray box with a black X.
Any changes made to alarm status in E tool are instantly transmitted to the controller without the need to use Load
parameters.
Changes in alarm status in the controller however are not displayed in E tool until you make a refresh.
To keep track of changes in alarm status when looking at other folders, look at the alarm box in the status bar at the
bottom of the window.
Alarm categories
Corrigo has three alarm categories, Sum alarm A, Sum alarm B and Sum alarm C.
A and B alarms will activate the digital outputs A-alarm and B-alarm respectively if configured. Both will activate the Sum
alarm output if configured.
C alarms are internal only.
C alarms need not be acknowledged. Once they reset, they automatically return to normal status.
Alarms can be shown according to class, A, B C or All classes and according to status, Normal, Blocked, Acknowledged,
Returned, Alarm active and All statuses.
15
Corrigo E tool Rev. D
Alarm text in Corrigo
The alarm text that is displayed in the Corrigo on activated alarm is shown in column 2 Alarm text. This text can be
changed, but only via E tool. (NB At the moment, this only applies to Ventilation and Heating. Boiler does not have
changeable texts). Double-click on the alarm text and a box will appear where various alarm parameters, for example the
alarm text, can be changed.
Remember that the alarm text, including any possible space, may not consist of more than 38 characters. These will be
distributed on 2 rows of 19 characters each. If a word in the text goes over the 19th position, the whole word will be
moved to the second row. To avoid this you can add a hyphen in the 19th position, thereafter space and then the rest of
the word.
For example: ”Sensor error Relative Humidity supply air” consists of 40 characters, but since the third word goes over the
19th position, the following will be shown in the display:
Sensor error
Relative Humidity su
9 Sept 08:52 Class B
However, if you change the text to: “Sensor error RH supply air”, you will get:
Sensor error RH
Supply air
9 Sept 08:52 Class B
8.6 Inputs/Outputs
Shows actual values for all inputs and outputs.
This is a read-only folder. No settings can be made here.
Un-configured inputs and outputs are grayed.

The 8 day, Holiday, governs the activity on all days marked as holidays in the holiday schedule, see below.
The schedules for Timer channel output 1…5 dictate the activation of the corresponding digital output signal.
To deactivate a period, set the time to 00:00 – 00:00.
To run the unit 24 hours a day, set the time to 00:00 – 24:00.
Note: An interval cannot exceed over midnight. For example, if you want to configure a period from 18:00 to 02:00 , you
have to divide it into two periods: Day 1 18:00 – 24:00 and day 2 00:00 – 02:00.
E tool Ventilation
Here you set the daily running periods.
If single-speed fans have been configured there is only one set of daily schedules.
If two-speed or pressure controlled fans have been configured there will be two sets of daily schedules. One for normal
running speed and one for reduced speed.
For each day there are two periods.
Should the running periods for normal and reduced speed overlap, normal speed will take precedence.

Holiday schedule
Up to 24 separate holiday periods can be configured. A holiday period can be anything from one day up to 365
consecutive days.
To create a holiday period, click on the button at the right hand end of the line Add holiday period.
To pick a single date, click on it, a marker will indicate your choice, then click on OK.
To pick a period, click and hold on the first date, drag the cursor to the last date and release the button. The period will
be marked. Click OK. Alternatively, click on the first date, depress and hold the shift-key on your keyboard and click on
the last date of the period. The period will be marked. Click OK.
Although the calendar seems to extend far into the distant future, holiday periods can only extend up to one year from
the present date. Should you choose a date further ahead than one year, the date will be replaced by the same date
within one year from the present.
To remove unwanted holiday periods, use the delete button in the E toolbar.
Holidays/holiday periods that have been set will be valid every year, until they are removed. This means that for example
Christmas and New Year will only have to be set once and are then valid for all future.

8.9 Manual / Auto
In this menu you can take manual command of most controller functions. Very useful for testing purposes.
Setting functions to manual command will generate alarms to ensure that control is returned to Auto.
In this menu all changes are instantly downloaded to any attached controller, it is not necessary to run Load parameters
for changes to take effect.
8.10 Configuration
This folder contains all the configuration parameters for the Corrigo. Since the contents are very diverse, the folder has
been divided into sub-folders. These are accessed by clicking on the buttons in the left-hand button-list. For detailed
information on these, please see the manual for the controller in question.

9. Updating Corrigo E
E tool should always be updated with the latest program revision. If you are using the latest revision of E tool and
connect it to a Corrigo E with an older program revision, E tool will give a warning and offer two alternatives.
One alternative is to temporarily downgrade E tool to a revision corresponding to the revision in the controller. All the
settings in the controller will remain intact and the controller will keep its revision.
The other alternative is to upgrade the controller to the same revision as E tool. This will cause the Corrigo-unit to
temporarily stop working. Any previous settings will be permanently lost.
Take the following actions to avoid having to configure again:
1. Start E tool and connect it to the controller. When asked, choose to downgrade E tool to the controller’s revision.
2. Select Synchronize all parameters in the menu Tools. Then select Update tools. E tool should now contain an
exact copy of the configuration in the controller. Select Save as in the menu File and save the configuration
under a suitable name.
3. Close E tool. Then open it again and choose to reload the controller with a new revision.
4. After reloading, open the saved configuration file, synchronize all parameters and the select Update the
controller. The controller should now have the latest revision and be configured as it was before the upgrade.
Make sure that the settings of the parameters that were not available in the old revision have suitable values.

10. TCP/IP – network terms
10.1 Networks, subnets, routers
IP network
An IP network is a cluster of cables and devices, where an equipment with one IP address can communicate with any
other IP addressed equipment. Internet is one network, and when your home computer connects to the Internet, you
become part of the Internet.
Subnet
Networks are divided into subnets, which are linked with routers. Routers need some kind of map of the network (or at
least of the closest subnets, and somewhere to send everything else). A computer only needs to know the address of the
closest router. A local switched Ethernet network is one subnet. Routers can have several Ethernet ports for different
Ethernet networks, or maybe an Ethernet port and an ADSL connection.
10.2 IP address, Subnet mask, Default Gateway, DNS server
IP address
Each computer or network connected controller has an IP address consisting of four numbers between 0 and 255, which
makes up a total of 32 bits.
Subnet mask
Each computer or network connected controller also has a subnet mask consisting of 32 bits.
Example
If the IP address is 192.0.2.73 and the subnet mask is 255.255.255.0, then the subnet addresses are from 192.0.2.0 up
to 192.0.2.255, and 192.0.2.73 is your address on the subnet. Sometimes the subnet mask is specified by the number of
bits used (always starting at the beginning of the subnet mask). The subnet is then 192.0.2.0/24, and the IP address and
the subnet mask can also be specified together: 192.02.73/24.
Default Gateway
Each computer and each controller using TCP/IP communication must know the IP address to the router that goes out
from its subnet. The IP address of this router is usually called the default gateway. All traffic that shall be sent out of
your own subnet is sent to the default gateway.
DNS name
The computer or the controller must know the address of the equipment it is going to communicate with. This can be
given as an IP address or a DNS name. DNS is a name service which can translate hierarchical names like
exohuvuddator.regin.se to an IP address. Several DNS servers are part of the system, but you only have to know
the IP address to one of them.
IP configuration
A complete IP configuration consists of the IP address of your computer, the subnet mask, the IP address of the closest
router (also called the default gateway) and a DNS server.
10.3 DHCP, fixed and dynamic addresses
Static and dynamic
An equipment can have manually configured IP settings, a so-called static IP address, or they may receive a dynamic
IP address from a special computer, a so-called DHCP server, on the subnet.
Dynamic IP addresses
The use of dynamic addresses presents a problem when other equipments try to contact the equipment, as the dynamic
addresses are unknown in advance and are subject to change. To be able to contact equipment using dynamic
addresses, your equipment need to use DNS, which also has to be updated when the dynamic address is changed via
DHCP. This is commonly used in corporate networks and for Windows computer. However, most Internet Service
Providers and several types of EXO controllers do not support the DNS update via DHCP, and must therefore use a
static IP address.
22
Corrigo E tool Rev. D
10.4 White and black addresses
Black addresses
There is a shortage of IP addresses on the Internet and organizations are encouraged to use internal IP addresses on
internal networks. Different companies may use the same address series, as their internal work computers never really
need to connect directly to each other. This kind of addressing is called private or black addressing.
Reserved addresses
The following addresses are reserved for private nets:
192.168.0.0 - 192.168.255.255
172.16.0.0 - 172.31.255.255
10.0.0.0 - 10.255.255.255
See also: RFC1918, Address Albcatton for Private Internets [Online document], [cited Nov 29 2005], Available HTTP:
http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc1918.txt
White addresses
Addresses that are unique on the Internet are called public or white adresses. More information of the use of IP
addresses can be found on RFC3330, Special-use, IPv4 addresses, http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc3330.txt
NAT
Firewalls can act as agents for computers with private IP addresses, when they are searching the Internet for information.
A connection from a computer with a black IP address is transformed into a connection from the firewall (which has a
public IP address) to the Internet server. The Internet server may then return the information to the firewall which
forwards it to the computer with the black address. This is called NAT or masquerading.
EXO
In general, NAT also works with EXO4 and EXO controllers, although the connection must be initiated from within the
black network and target the white network.
NAT router
You can also have a NAT router to forward traffic from the white net to a computer on the black net. This is accomplished
by letting traffic to a specific TCP port or UDP port to be forwarded to an IP address on the black net.
EXO controllers
There are Internet Service Providers that target, e.g. housing co-operatives, offering only private dynamic addresses.
EXOcontrollers with a TCP/IP port can manage controllers connected this way, provided that the main computer has a
static or a DNS registered public address. The EXO system can also manage the reverse condition, and allows a main
computer with a private address to contact controllers with public addresses.
10.5 Tunnels
Two private networks
Another way to manage a connection via the Internet from a work computer to a main computer on a company network
that uses private IP addresses, is to create a tunnel going into the network. A tunnel means connecting two networks
using private IP addresses via the Internet, by encrypting all network packages to the destination network (encryption
includes IP addresses and other information). The encryption is done by the firewall of one of the networks. The package
is issued a new "address label" specifying the other firewall's public address. This firewall decrypts the contents and
forwards it to the destination work station within its network. Any listeners that do not have knowledge of the password
will not be able to decrypt the traffic. This technology is also called VPN.
PC – black network
A tunnel can also be created between a single computer and a private network. Nowadays, it is common for travelling
salesmen to connect their mobile stations via GPRS and the Internet, and then connect to the company network using a
tunnel. The same technology can be used by the duty technician to work with the ÉXO4 work station from his home, from
the service vehicle or similar.

11. Corrigo Web (Only E tool Ventilation and Heating)
See chapter 10 for explanations of the terms used in this chapter.
11.1 Connection
The controller must be connected to a static, white IP address. The following connection methods have been tested for
Corrigo Web:
1. Connection directly to an ADSL/cable modem
2. Connection to a router, which in turn is connected to an ADSL/cable modem
Corrigo Web has not been tested against all internet suppliers.
If the Corrigo is going to be located behind a router with a built-in firewall, the router must be configured. The router
should have a fixed white IP address. Then it must find the Corrigo, either by sending an IP address to the controller or
by giving the Corrigo’s MAC address. Thereafter, all incoming traffic on Ports 80 and 26486 should be NAT routed to the
Corrigo’s black IP address. See the router manual for this.
Ports 80 and 26486 on the internet modem must also be open for incoming traffic.
This webserver technology is built into the Corrigo and is based on the fact that the Corrigo has an integrated webserver.
However, this means that only one webserver can be connected to every white IP address.
One Corrigo E unit can handle max 5 connections from E tool, EXO4 and Internet Explorer at the same time.
11.2 Configuration of the webservers
As before, all configuration of the controller parameters takes place via E tool or directly in the display. No configuration
can be done via the webserver. For configuration of the controller, see the previous chapters in this manual or the
manuals for Corrigo E heating and ventilation respectively.
If the configuration of the controller parameters is changed, the website will automatically be downloaded to the web
server. You only need to reload the website if the settings for the website are changed.
Configuration of the TCP/IP port
To configure the TCP/IP port in the Corrigo, go to Tools / Communication settings. Choose ”Use a TCP/IP port in this
controller”. Select the right cable when asked.
Then press ”Search” to find the correct Corrigo.
After the program has found the Corrigo, select it and press OK. Note: If the Corrigo is not fresh from the factory, update
the TCP/IP port by pressing ”Update TCP/IP port OS”. The Corrigo is then updated to the latest TCP/IP version. If the
Corrigo was manufactured in 2008 or earlier, the TCP/IP OS needs to be updated twice in order for all changes to take
effect.
Then press on the button TCP/IP, WEB-site and E-mail settings.
In this box, the following settings can be made:
24
Corrigo E tool Rev. D
IP settings
Here you choose if the Corrigo should have a static IP address or if the DHCP server should give it a dynamic IP address.
If the TCP/IP port uses fixed IP and you have given the e-mail server’s network name, you must also enter a DNS server
under Use the following IP settings. The TCP/IP port can then translate the network name into an IP address. If DHCP is
used, this will take place automatically.
DNS name
The Corrigo can be connected to a DNS name, for example: DNS name: Corrigoweb, Domain: regin.se. The controller’s
IP address will then be connected to the DNS name Corrigoweb.regin.se.
Encrypted communication
The encryption is used to prevent other users in the TCP/IP network from connecting to the Corrigo via E tool.
The password is only used when you want to reach the Corrigo via E tool. If you loose the password, the controller must
be cleansed and reloaded.
Web user login passwords
The passwords to log on to the website. Guests have permission to view all values. Operators are authorised to view and
change all values.
E-mail server settings
•
Network address to the e-mail server
Here you give the outgoing SMTP e-mail server, via which the TCP/IP port should send e-mails, either as a
network name (DNS name, e.g. smtp.exampledomain.se) or as an IP address.
Within local area networks, you usually give an IP address. If you are connected to the Internet, network names
are more common. Your network technician or Internet supplier can tell you which e-mail server you should give.
Note: If you give a network name, this must be connected directly to the e-mail server. It cannot be an alias for
another network name. To test if you have a directly connected network name, you can use the Windows
command line interpreter (Start menu → Run → cmd) to run the Ping command on the network name (for
example Ping smtp.exampledomain.se) and see if the command reports ”Pinging smtp.exampledomain.se”.
•
Login name and Login password
These two fields are only used if the outgoing e-mail server requires logging on and supports the AUTH LOGIN
method. Otherwise, leave them empty.
Other log on methods or coding are currently not supported.
E-mail sender address
Here you write the sender address that should be given in the e-mail. Certain e-mail servers and junk mail filters require
that a real e-mail address is used here. Otherwise, you can give a fictitious sender address, e.g.
[email protected]. Ask your network technician for advice if you are unsure.
Set TCP/IP settings
After the above settings have been made, you download the settings to the TCP/IP card in the Corrigo by pressing on
this button.

Corrigo E tool Rev. D
11.3 Settings for the website
In the sub-folder System/Website and E-mail in the Configuration folder, you can make the following settings for the
website:
Headline Web-site
Here you can write a headline which should be shown on the first page when you surf to the Corrigo website.
Link, Heading
Up to four different links to small pdf files or other Internet sites can be added to the website. Note: The total size of the
pdf files and the process picture must not be over 150 kB. Under Link1, Heading you write the heading for Link 1, under
Link2, Heading you write the heading for Link 2 and so on. The heading must not contain any space. Instead of for
example AB Regin, you must write AB_Regin. This is the default setting for Heading 4.
Link
Under Link 1 you write the address to the pdf file or Internet site.
Process picture
The picture that is chosen here will be shown in the Overview folder on the web. The picture should be in jpg format or
similar because of the lack of storage space.
E-mail
Here you give the e-mail address to which an alarm should be sent, as well as the title and subject of the message.
After making the above settings and downloading the settings to the TCP/IP card, the only thing that remains is to
download all the settings to the webserver in the Corrigo. You do this by selecting Tools/Load Web-site to the Controller.

11.4 Log on to the website
This is how the login page for the Corrigo looks when it is published on the web.
In the box Password, you log on using the password you have entered under TCP/IP, WEB-site and E-mail settings.
11.5 Change values on the website
All values written in blue can be changed. As soon as a value has been changed and you have pressed Enter, the value
is downloaded to the Corrigo.
