How do you read an existing configuration?
This is a completely different procedure depending on the type of controller.
For the CTD controllers this goes as follows:
In the SMIII via "File" or "Utilities / Setup / SD card", click on "Recover QDB from SD".
After confirmation you choose the name and location where the file should be saved. The zipped QDB file is then read from the SD card of the CTD and saved. With a positive answer to the question "Unzip and open restored QDB?", All data will then be immediately available. If the data you were still working on was not sent or saved, you will first receive a notification to do so.

For a CTL controller follow the following procedure:
Because this controller does not yet have a large memory, only limited data can be recovered. Ao the names are abbreviated to 12 characters and serial numbers are not stored anywhere.
The first step is therefore to type in ALL serial numbers via SMII via "File / Modules". These 6-digit serial numbers can be found on every module (DIN rail, switch, detector, etc.). For the SWC0x switches, an extra option was provided to have them send their serial number via “Search for modules”.
When you then click on the "down arrow", you can read all this limited information.
Always use the latest software for configuration.

It is always recommended to use the most recent version. This version supports the newest modules and resolves all known bugs.
If, for example, you enter a serial number and the correct module information does not appear, you are likely not working with the most recent software.
A newer version will always be able to open the older files (.QDB) without data loss.
The latest version of the System Manager software, along with the user manual and version history, can be found in the knowledge center.
When uploading the data, a module always displays Err.255 (Module not found)
If Err.255 appears during the programming or verification of a module, this can have several causes:
First, verify whether the serial number was correctly entered as shown on the sticker on the module or its packaging. A serial number always consists of 6 digits or 10 hexadecimal characters (e.g., 0006B01ADE), with the first 4 determining the module type.
Conduct a test through “Utilities/Communication Check”. Enter the last 6 digits of the serial number here and click on “Start Module Test”. If communication with this module is perfect, you should see a nice flat line at 100%. If you see a flat low line, there is no communication. If the line is pulsed, communication is poor. Check whether the bus voltage (+/- 14V) is still correctly reaching the module or check the wiring. Try communicating with the module directly at the controller with 2 short bus wires (without any other connected module) before returning it via our RMA procedure.
Several modules can transmit their serial number:
All SWC variants can be searched via “File/Modules/Search for modules”. After clicking “Start search”, all connected switches will blink blue. Pressing any key on the switch will transmit its serial number.
All modules with a 10-character serial number can be read via “Utilities/Communication Check” if 1 and only 1 module of this new type is connected to the bus, by entering “FFFFFF” as a serial number.
How do you check if a DIN-Rail module is still functioning?

All recent DIN-rail modules are equipped with a fuse and status LED(s).
First, check if the upper PWR LED is still lit (green). If not, check the fuse and measure the power supply voltage. If both the fuse and the power supply voltage are correct, then the module power supply is defective and should be repaired or replaced.
First, always try a full reset: simultaneously disconnect both power and bus at the same time, then reconnect power (and bus if applicable).

The lower PWR will light up when the bus is correctly connected. In Stand-Alone mode, this PWR LED will remain OFF. The red status LED will briefly light up or blink when the module starts. However, if it continues to light up or blink, the firmware may be corrupted. Firmware can be updated via the SMIII under “Tools/Setup/Software/Modules: Firmware Upgrade”.

For end users, the installer is the first point of contact. They are familiar with the most common errors and will contact Qbus support for unknown issues.
If the module needs to be repaired or replaced, use our RMA procedure to return a module.

What is the difference between Luqas and Luqas Charging Hub?

The Luqas and the Luqas Charging Hub are both smart solutions for controlling and managing charging stations, inverters, and heat pumps. Functionally, they are equivalent: both systems feature all core functionalities like the energy slider, energy measurement, load-balancing, and quarter peak management, ensuring the available power is always used optimally and safely.

The difference mainly lies in scale and application.
The Luqas is intended for residential applications and smaller installations, supporting up to 2 charging stations. Additionally, Luqas works with three subscription models: View (insight), Control (management), and Dynamic Control (fully dynamic management).

The Luqas Charging Hub is designed for larger installations and charging plazas and can manage up to 20 charging stations. A unique feature of the Charging Hub is that load protection at multiple levels can be configured, for example, per building, per group, or per charging point. The Charging Hub operates with two subscription models: View and Control.

In summary:
Both solutions offer exactly the same smart energy and charging functionalities. Thus, the choice between Luqas and the Luqas Charging Hub does not depend on what they can do, but on how many charging stations you want to manage and how complex your installation is.

3. Take Control

The items that are operable were automatically added to your Dashboard by the Luqas Wizard.

If you wish to visualize other items on the dashboard that were not created by the Wizard by default, you can read here how you can add these yourself.

Instanious power
At the top we see the instantaneous power meter. The meter can be instantly consulted to see what is being consumed or injected into the grid. If the needle is at 0, nothing is being consumed or injected. If the meter points left, power is being injected; if the meter points right, power is being drawn from the grid.
If you click on the needle, you can view the recent history:
Quarter peak power
A clock that communicates the current monthly peak and predicted quarter peak to the end customer.
On the left you see the current monthly quarter peak for this month.
On the right you see the predicted quarter peak. This will be the peak for the next quarter peak.
With a green bell, the predicted quarter peak is below the current quarter peak. With a red color, the quarter peak will be exceeded.
When you click on the clock you can view the recent history:
Energy slider
This slider allows the end customer to set the maximum allowed power. The Luqas module then ensures that this limit will not be exceeded by a controlled heat pump or a charging station. This will not be a constant value throughout the year. This way, the end customer can adjust it himself, depending on the situation.
It can be adjusted by clicking on the icon and sliding the slider left or right.
There are also 3 standard selection options:
Efficient: for ecologically low consumption.
Comfort: for normal operation.
Boost: here a power is released to allow the charging station/heat pump to operate freely.
By clicking on the icon in the top right corner, you can view the recent history:
Charging station control
Luqas will optimally charge your car electrically based on solar energy, the lowest tariffs (dual or dynamic tariff), and taking into account your energy slider, thereby minimizing your peak consumption.

The charging cable around the car icon will light up when the car is connected. When the car is charging, the car itself will turn green (charging at low speed), orange (charging at moderate speed), or red (charging at maximum power according to the charging station).
In the detail menu, the desired charging profile and active charging mode can be adjusted.
On the left side, you see the power currently consumed by the car. On the right, you see the set power.

Standard charging profiles
Automatic charging
Charging points set with an Automatic charging profile will distribute the available energy among themselves.
The Luqas Charging Hub will adjust the charging of the cars in such a way that the quarter-hour peak will not be exceeded and that the consumption remains within the available capacity of the higher level.
Manual charging
A charging point set with a manual charging profile will always take priority over Automatic charging points.
For instance, at a time when a lot needs to be charged in a short time, you can choose Fast. You have the options of Off - Slow - Normal - Fast.
If you want to set the power your car will charge with yourself, you can do so by swiping up / down.
Keep in mind with manual charging that the Luqas will not intervene when the set quarter-hour peak slider is exceeded, but will still take into account the power available under the higher level.
The charging profile will be reset to Automatic when the car has been disconnected. If you want this charging point to always remain in manual mode, you can set it here.
By clicking on the icon in the top right corner, you can view the recent history:

Heatpump

The heat pump can be controlled automatically by the module.

The automatic control works as follows:

When there is sufficient energy injection, the module’s logic will switch the heat pump to comfort or boost mode to buffer excess energy.
When energy consumption is high, the control system will take the energy slider setting into account and may temporarily shut down the heat pump at certain times.
This ensures that the set maximum power is respected and helps keep the quarterly peak under control.

Alternating regime	Does the heat pump switch...
Off	...off for up to 2 hours. After this, the normal state will be activated for at least 1 hour.
Normal	...not. Normal heat pump control is followed.
Comfort	...to a higher comfort temperature so that energy can be buffered in domestic hot water, space heating or buffer tanks. The heat pump switches to this mode when the current injection is higher than the value entered in the comfort – normal mode configuration.
Boost	...to a maximum temperature so that energy can be buffered to the maximum extent possible in domestic hot water or buffer tanks. The heat pump switches to this mode when the current injection is higher than the value entered in the configuration boost – comfort mode.

The power ratings for each mode must be entered in the configuration wizard.
When switching up per mode, for example from “OFF” → “Normal”, “Normal” → “Comfort” or “Comfort” → “Boost”, the module remains in normal and boost mode for 5 minutes and in comfort mode for 10 minutes.

When switching down, each state remains active for at least 1 minute.

If there is no home battery, the system will switch back from boost to comfort or from comfort to normal as soon as the net consumption exceeds 50% of the power entered in the respective step. If there is a battery, the switchback will occur as soon as there is a net energy withdrawal from the grid.

In the detail screen, you can also manually control the heat pump or switch it off completely.

The shutdown function can be used when you are away for an extended period.

In manual mode, you can choose the power level your heat pump should deliver yourself.

After 2 hours, Luqas will switch your heat pump back to automatic control to help keep your energy consumption in check.

Step 6: Configuration charging hub
In this step, you can configure your charging facility.
The screen below shows us the main meter that we previously set up. The Luqas Charging Hub will monitor the energy flows and ensure that the total consumption of all charging stations does not exceed the set value.
A maximum of 2 levels can be created under the main meter. A level is, in principle, a breaker where another breaker or charging stations can be placed under.
If you have a physical kWh meter per breaker, you can set it up so that the Luqas Charging Hub takes into account the measured flows to control the underlying charging points.
If you do not have a physical kWh meter, you can set the value of your breakers at each level. The Luqas Charging Hub will ensure that the sum of the powers of the underlying charging points does not exceed this value.
Please note that the Luqas Charging Hub can handle a total of 20 IP connections. So if you have a TCP/IP meter as the main meter, you can make 19 more IP connections here. In the next step, you can set up an Inverter, which also takes up an IP connection.
A charging station always needs to be activated to be controlled by an external device. Read on the Charging Stations page on how to activate your charging station.
With this button, you can add a level. A level can be an RTU/TCP meter or a virtual meter.
With this button, you can add a charging station.

Settings in Qbus Control

To optimize the functionalities of your Luqas, you need to set some parameters correctly in Qbus Control.

Intelligent charging

Go to Settings - Intelligent charging for this

After setting up the Luqas Charging Hub via the Wizard, you will see a profile for each charging point here. By default, each profile is set to Automatic (2). An automatic profile will not give preference to a charging station; it will try to optimally distribute the available energy over the connected cars.
Through the Charging Mode menu (3), charging points can be set manually, after which you can also set the Charging Speed. A charging point in manual mode will always have priority over charging points in automatic mode.
Practically speaking, you can set up some charging stations with a higher priority. This way, you can give preference to charging points intended for staff over those located in a public place.
