About Tuner4TRONIC – Simple Current Programming Tool
Purpose and Application
The Tuner4TRONIC Simple Current Programming Tool (T4T-S) allows output current setting in OSRAM wide range LED drivers via NFC instead of LEDset and stick to default settings with any other functionality provided with OSRAM drivers. T4T-S can be operated without permanent internet connection – though it is recommended to update driver database manually, in case of no internet. T4T-S does not require creating production files, since it reads data from a sample driver and sets output current in drivers of the same type.

Since no validation rule is applied by the tool – other than checking min/max limits – the user needs to ensure, that output current values to not interfere with other settings in the driver (e.g. DALI settings, CLO, Tuning Factor, ..). Therefore, it is recommended to use T4T-S with blank drivers with default settings only. Please also note, that programming via DALI interface is not supported by T4T-S. PW setting with T4T-S is recommended to avoid reprogramming by unauthorized persons, since exceeding rated current of the light engine may cause defects in the luminaire.

Please explore the full functionality of LED drivers by using T4T tool chain with T4T-Configurator, T4T-Production and T4T Field app. Tuner4TRONIC tools can be downloaded from www.osram.com/T4T.
The Tuner4TRONIC (T4T) software suite allows luminaire manufacturers to program OSRAM drivers via DALI and/or NFC in a simple, fast, reliable and cost-effective way, speeding up the production process.

This software consists of different modules according to the environment of use:

Tuner4TRONIC Configurator

With this web based browser application luminaire designers can configure LED drivers by setting parameters such as output current, dimming levels, constant lumen output, operating modes and much more. Thanks to its multi-level password system, Configuration Lock protects LED drivers against unauthorized changes while service technicians can still be granted access rights for selected features. Once the configuration has been completed, the settings are exported as an encrypted read-only production file and transmitted to the production line. www.tuner4TRONIC.com

Tuner4TRONIC Production

Factory workers can easily load encrypted production files in order to start automatic programming for the fast mass production of LED drivers. Provides a multilingual user interface.

Tuner4TRONIC Machine

The DLL and command line tools enable to integrate OSRAM LED driver programming into automatic programming stations in the production line.

Tuner4TRONIC REST API

While the Configurator, Development and Production versions provide the users an intuitive graphical interface, the API („Application Programming Interface“) provides software developers a collection of functions and tools to create luminaire configurations automatically. Typically, the API is used to create luminaire files when a new order is available in the ERP system. The API is based on modern standards (REST) and conventions, comes with a comprehensive documentation and must be integrated into your system by a software developer (OSRAM does not provide ERP system integrations).

Tuner4TRONIC Simple Current Programming

The simple current programming tool is a PC based tool that allows programming driver output current without creating production files. The user can read data from a driver edit output current and upload current setting to drivers of the same type. The tool also supports setting password protection

Tuner4TRONIC Field

T4T-Field is an app for smartphones that can program OSRAM outdoor OT 1DIM and OT 4DIM as well as indoor OTi DALI Compact LED drivers via NFC – wireless and without mains-voltage.
The app can change the light output and the dimming levels of the driver. In addition, a driver configuration can be copied to another driver in a breeze.

Files Types

• Tuner4TRONIC Development uses different file types:
  Tuner4TRONIC production file = .osrtup

• Driver description file = .osrtud

• Driver data (raw format) = .osrtur

•  Password file = *.osrpwd

•  Tuner4TRONIC luminaire project file = .osrtul (phased out)

Workflow between the different T4T Versions
The luminaire product manager/designer creates his desired configuration (e.g. setting the operating current, CLO and dimming) using T4T Configurator. Our optional T4T API allows to create luminaire and production files directly from an ERP system removing the need to create those files manually. When the configuration is finished, a read-only *.osrtup production file is exported and sent to the assembly line.
At the assembly line, the production file is loaded using T4T Production and the mass programming can start. Alternatively, T4T Machine (DLL and command line tools) can be used to integrate with automatic programming and testing stations.

The Tuner4TRONIC is capable to handle more than one programming interface connected to the same PC

Preparing a driver with DALI interface for programming

Activity

1.  Connect DALI magic and PC with the enclosed USB cable.
2. Connect the external 6V DC power supply to the DALI magic.The use of the external power supply is mandatory in case of more than 4 drivers connected to the DALI line, anyhow it is strongly recommended to always use the external power supply in order to improve the stability of the DALI communication.
3. Connect the driver to mains and PE if the related terminal is available in the driver.
4. Connect the DALI® terminals of the DALI magic with the DALI® inputs of the driver(s).

NOTE : most of the DALI LED drivers allow programming when supplied with a low voltage (e.g. 48V) in place of the mains voltage. For further details, please consult the LED driver’s datasheets.

Preparing a driver with NFC interface for programming

the PC with the enclosed USB cable.
2| Put the Programming interface close in contact with the NFC area of the driver (see logo) and do not move driver(s) and programming interface till the process is completed

Important Information:

Keep the driver powered OFF during programming via NFC unless otherwise indicated in the documentation of the driver.

Keep both Programming interface antenna and driver with NFC close in contact during the complete programming process.

Software Installation

NOTE :
Always read the “Release Notes” in the zip file before installing the SW.
To install the file you must have Windows administrator rights.
Extract the Tuner4TRONIC zip file into your local hard drive and then run “Install T4T.exe” located in that folder. Running the Installer from inside the zip file will cause a faulty installation!
Tuner4TRONIC Production can be launched from “Start” => “All Programs” => “OSRAM” => “Tuner4TRONIC” or by double-clicking the desktop icons.

Programming Page: Configuration

After reading data from a driver, driver name, EAN and IC base code is displayed in the header. User can enter any value within the min/max limits in the tab “Output current” (default: Output current value read from the driver). When programming the driver, LEDset will be deactivated and current setting mode will be switched to “Fixed Current Mode”.

The driver can be protected with master key PW by ticking the check box next to the tab “Configuration Lock”. If check box is not ticked, driver will not be protected. The 4 digit password can be either entered manually or imported from an encrypted .osrpwd file. Please check Tools/Create PW file for creating encrypted password files. Encrypted password from PW file will be displayed as “”. Programming of protected drivers will be rejected, if Configuration Lock is not ticked or PW entered by the user does not matches PW from driver. Please note, that PW protection will be effective after first power cycle of the driver.
