Dynamic administration of group addresses
Maximum no. of group addresses and associations: 152
Device selection:
The application must rst be adapted to the hardware in use. When changing over the device selection, parameter settings and linked group addresses
are modied by the ETS program. For this reason, the
device selection should be set before conguring
the device.

Behaviour on bus voltage failure/reset
- Behaviour on bus voltage failure
When the bus voltage drops below 18 V, the relay can
adopt a parameterised state. The relay can either be closed,
opened or remain in the position it occupied prior to the
failure. At the same time, the current switching position of
the relay is stored in the device. Only the actual relay state
(“1” for closed; “0” for opened) at the time of the voltage
failure is saved and not any active time delays. No further
status response telegrams are sent. This function has the
highest priority.

- Behaviour on bus voltage recovery
On bus voltage recovery, the relay can adopt a parameterised state. The following options are available for selection.
In the settings “opened” or “closed”, the relay contact is
opened or closed. An inversion does not take place in the
“break contact” relay mode.
Staircase lighting functions: In the “make contact” mode,
the staircase lighting function starts with the setting
“closed”. This also happens in the “break contact” mode with
the setting “opened ”.
In the setting “no change”, the relay remains in the current
state. Any manual operation that occurs in the meantime
(with 2-gang and 4-gang switch actuators) is retained. The
device does not know the status of the channel at this point
and therefore no status signal can take place. The status is
only available following a switching action of the channel.
In the setting “as for bus voltage failure”, the relay adopts
the state which was stored in the device on bus voltage
failure. Any manual operations that occur (with 2-gang
and 4-gang switch actuators) are overwritten. There are no
stored states once the application has been downloaded.
This means that the output is opened in the “make contact”
mode while the relay closes in the “break contact” mode.
If the setting “ash” is selected, the relay starts to ash on
bus voltage recovery. The ashing interval can be set.

for the reconguration of switch actuators in occupied
buildings so that the outputs do not switch in the event of
a download. The device does not know the status of the
channel at this point and therefore no status signal can
take place. The status is only available following a switching
action of the channel.
If the option “as for bus voltage recovery” is selected, the
setting for the parameter “Relay state after bus voltage
recovery” is adopted.
See: Behaviour on bus voltage recovery
Before triggering the relay, a check is made to determine
whether there is sucient energy to operate the relay. If
there is sucient energy, the relay immediately switches
to the parameterised state. Otherwise there is a delay until
sucient energy is available.
Important:
Relay states that are caused by functions with a
higher priority (higher priority function) take precedence over the behaviour after ETS download.
Example: OR logic operation with parameterised
value of the logic object after bus voltage recovery =
1 takes priority and switches the output.
Status response
Each channel can deliver a status response, depending on
the parameter settings. An exception is made in the setting
“no change”: since the current status cannot be reliably
determined, no status telegram is sent.

- Behaviour after ETS download
After the ETS download, the relay can adopt a parameterised state. The following options are available for selection.
In the settings “opened” or “closed”, the relay contact is
opened or closed. An inversion does not take place in the
“break contact” relay mode.
Staircase lighting functions: In the “make contact” mode,
the staircase lighting function starts with the setting
“closed”. This also happens in the “break contact” mode with
the setting “opened ”.
In the setting “no change”, the relay remains in the state it
occupied prior to the download. Any manual operation that
occurs in the meantime (with 2-gang and 4-gang switch
actuators) is not overwritten. This function is conceived

- Relay operation: break contact
The relay contact can be operated logically as a break contact (via software). The relay position is inverted and issued.
Switch (break function)
The xed relay positions (open, closed) within the other
functions are triggered directly. An inversion by means of
the break contact function is no longer carried out for these
xed relay positions.
Status response
Each channel can deliver a status response, depending on
the parameter settings. This always conveys the actual state
of the output (1= relay closed; 0= relay opened).
After bus voltage recovery, the relay is normally closed
in the “break contact” function and if the status feedback
function is active, a status response telegram is generated
with the value “1” after approx. 17 s. In this case, a function
with a higher priority enforces a dierent state and the
corresponding status response telegram is produced.

- Relay operation: changeover contact
The changeover function is only available for the odd-numbered channels i.e.1, 3, 5, 7, etc. The even-numbered channels are integrated in the changeover function as a second
contact.
In this operation mode, the two adjacent channels e.g. “1”
and “2” are combined logically as a changeover contact. The
two relays then work inversely to each other. The switching
state is determined by the odd-numbered channel “1”.

Relay operation
The operation mode of the relay can be set via the parameter “Relay operation”. The relay can be used as a “break contact”, “make contact”, “changeover contact” or as a ashing
indicator. The changeover function is only available for the
odd-numbered channels i.e.1, 3, etc. The even-numbered
channels are integrated in the changeover function as a
second contact.
When changing over the relay operation mode,
parameter settings and linked group addresses are
modied by the ETS program. For this reason, the
relay operation mode should be set before conguring the device.
- Relay operation: make contact
The relay in the switch actuator has a make contact. The
switching state is transmitted directly to the relays.
Switch (make function)
Status response
Each channel can deliver a status response, depending on
the parameter settings. This always conveys the actual state
of the output (1= relay closed; 0= relay opened).
After bus voltage recovery, the relay is normally opened in
the “make contact” function. When the contact is opened
and the status feedback function is active, no “0” telegrams
are generated. In this case, a function with a higher priority
enforces a dierent state and the corresponding status
response telegram is produced.

- Relay operation: ashing indicator
In the ashing indicator function, the relay opens and
closes automatically. A common ashing rate can be set for
all the channels via the “Flashing interval” parameter. The
frequency is calculated by multiplying a base value with a
factor.
Important
No short switching times may be parameterised
under load (see the technical data for the switch
output)
It can be selected whether the channel ashes for the value
“ON” (actuated) or “OFF” (not actuated). The value is the
product of combining the disable/higher priority function
with the switch object.

- Central switching function
The central switching function has its own communication
object (1 bit central object) It can be set for each channel of
the actuator whether and how the channel should react to
the central switch object.
Using the parameters, you can set whether only the state
“actuated” (make contact => closed and break contact =>
opened), only the state “not actuated” or both states of the
central switch object for the channel should be evaluated.
The central function has a low priority. Telegrams from
the central switch objects activate the set switching/time
functions and higher priority functions in the same way as
telegrams from the corresponding switch object.
The last telegram from the individual switch object or the
central object always activates the functions that have been
set for the channel.

Switching functions
- Switching
Binary bus telegrams (EIS1 telegrams, 1 bit) are received via the
“Switch object” and converted into switching states (relay open/
relay closed). The application changes the value of the “Switch
object” during operation. Reading out the “Switch object” via
the bus does not convey the status of the relay. The status
should always be read out via the “Status feedback object”.
The switching behaviour of the normal switch function can be modied by activating functions with a
higher priority (see ‘Priorities’).
Switch (make function)
Switch (break function)
After bus voltage recovery, the relay is closed in the “break
contact” mode and a status response telegram is generated
with the value “1” if the status response function is activated. In this case, a dierent response is carried out e.g. by
a higher priority function or due to the behaviour on bus
voltage recovery at the output.
Before triggering the relay, a check is made to determine
whether there is sucient energy to operate the relay. If
there is sucient energy, the relay immediately switches
to the parameterised state. Otherwise there is a delay until
sucient energy is available.
The xed relay positions (open, closed) within the other
functions are triggered directly. An inversion by the break
contact function is not carried out for xed relay positions.

Retriggerable staircase lighting function with manual OFF function
Non-retriggerable staircase lighting function with manual OFF function
The staircase lighting function can indicate that the end of
the staircase timer is imminent by causing the luminaire
to icker. It is possible to select between one and three
warnings. It is possible to set the time (t warning) when
the warnings should start before the staircase timer has
elapsed. The length of the interruptions (t l) and the interval
between two warnings (t int) can also be set.
Staircase timer with prewarning
In the case of staircase lighting functions with a manual OFF function and active prewarning, the staircase
lighting function with prewarning is immediately
deactivated when an OFF telegram is received.
If the output of the actuator is brought into a new switching position by a function with a higher priority while the
staircase timer is active, the relay is immediately switched
to this position. The last switching telegram is stored and
any delay periods or staircase timers continue to run.
Switching functions and staircase lighting functions
cancel each other out i.e. they cannot be active at
the same time. If the staircase lighting function is parameterised, the channel only operates as a staircase
timer. If the staircase lighting function is not set, the
switching function is automatically active.

The period (t staircase) is calculated by multiplying a base
value by a factor.
The settings “retriggerable” or “not retriggerable” dene

Higher-level functions
With regard to the switching behaviour of the actuator, the
higher priority functions take precedence over the switching function, staircase lighting function and time delays. If
a higher priority function is active, changes to the switch
object no longer aect the relay output. The status of the
relay remains in the position which was preselected by the
higher priority function. Higher priority functions are carried out without a delay i.e. delay periods are not taken into
account when switched to a higher priority state.
There are three higher priority functions available: the
disable function, logic operations and the priority control
function. Logic operations and priority control functions
cancel each other out i.e. only one of the two functions can
be used per channel.
The logic operation or priority control function has a lower
priority than the disable function. If a logic operation and
the disable function occur at the same time, the disable
function takes priority. Each channel has an object for each
higher priority function (logic, priority or disable object).
All three functions are activated by means of parameters.
When switching between the functions, the parameter settings and communication objects of these
functions are modied by the ETS program. Linked
group addresses are deleted. For this reason, the
function should be dened rst.
- Disable function
The functionality of the selected switch actuator channel
can be deactivated with the help of the “Disable object”.
Telegrams via the “Switch object” or status changes from
the logic/priority function are no longer converted into
switching commands at the relay when the disable function is activated.
The disable function can be triggered by a “1” or by a “0”
telegram. (Disable object = 1 or disable object = 0).
Using the parameter “Value of disable object after bus voltage recovery”, you can dene whether the disable function
is only eective after receipt of a disable telegram via the
“Disable object” or immediately after a RESET.
With the parameter “Reaction at blocking”, the output is set
to the required position for the disable function.
Telegrams to the “Switch object” are received and the last
telegram is saved each time. When the disable function is
no longer active, it is possible to dene the relay state with
the parameter setting “Reaction at activation”.

- Disable function with switching delay/staircase light-
ing function
When the disable function is activated, it always switches
in the required direction without a delay. When it is deactivated, the actuator likewise switches to the required state
without a delay. The last switching telegram is saved during
a disable function and any delay periods or staircase timers
continue to run.

AND logic operation; Value of the logic object after bus voltage recovery:
1; Relay: make contact
The logic object is preassigned the value “1” after a RESET.
Switching can therefore be carried out as usual via the
switch object. The closing lock-out is only active after the
receipt of a “0” telegram via the logic object.
AND logic operation; Value of the logic object after bus voltage recovery:
0; Relay: make contact
The parameter setting causes the “Logic object” to be set to
the value “0”. After a RESET, the actuator will not switch the
output in the “make contact” mode nor with these settings,
until a “1” telegram has been received at the “Logic object”.

- Logic operations
With this functionality, the “Switch object” can be logically
linked with the “Logic object”. An AND or OR logic operation
can be set. A parameter denes which value is preassigned
to the logic object after bus voltage recovery.
For example, if the OR logic object is preset to “1” after bus
voltage recovery, the output remains switched on until a
“0” telegram has been received at the “Logic object”. Any
parameterised reaction after bus voltage recovery is only
adopted once the logic operation has nished.
The logic function has a high priority. The actuator will thus
always be set according to the logic result of the higher priority function and not the status of functions with a lower
priority.
AND logic operation
If the “Logic object” is set to “1”, switching can be carried
out as usual via the address of the “Switch object”. Any set
delay periods and staircase timers are followed. Switching
o via the “Logic object” takes place immediately (object
with higher priority). An OFF delay is no longer carried out.
If the “Logic object” is set to “1” again by a telegram, the
output is also switched without a delay when the ON delay
is activated.
Example:
A closing lock-out can be implemented with an AND logic
operation. This means that it is not possible to switch on
the output via the “Switch object” while the value of the
“Logic object” remains set to “0”. If the value of the “Switch
object” is set to “1”, the output is switched on automatically
following a change in the value of the logic object from “0”
to “1” (output is set).
Page 16
16
OR logic operation; Value of logic object after bus voltage recovery: 0;
Relay: make contact
The relay can only be opened via the “Switch object” once a
“0” telegram has been received via the “Logic object”.
OR logic operation; Value of logic object after bus voltage recovery: 1;
Relay: make contact
The logic object is preassigned the value “1” after a
RESET. The actuator will immediately switch on the
output in the “make contact” mode. The OR logic
function is only reset by a “0” telegram at the logic
object.

OR logic operation
While the “Logic object” has the value “0”, switching can be
carried out as usual via the address of the “Switch object”.
Any set delay periods are still valid. The closing of the relay
is carried out immediately via a “1” telegram to the “Logic
object” (object with higher priority). A delay is no longer
carried out. If the value of the “Logic object” is then set to
“0” again, the actuator immediately switches to the required state.
Example:
An opening lock-out or central ON function (e.g. lighting
for cleaning buildings) can be implemented with an OR
logic operation. If the value of the “Switch object” is also set
locally to “1”, the relay remains closed when the opening
lock-out is removed (value of the logic object changes from
“1” to “0”).

- Priority control
There is a 2 bit priority object in addition to the 1 bit switch
object. The switch actuator channel is switched to high
priority switching states (relay opened / relay closed) with
the 2 bit telegram. If the 2 bit priority object receives a telegram whose rst bit (bit 1) has the value ON “1”, the priority
control function is active. In this case, the switch actuator
switches to the state that was dened by the second bit (bit
0) of the telegram.
Bit 1 Bit 0 Function
1 1 Switched on with priority
(output actuated)
1 0 Switched o with priority (output
not actuated)
0 1 Priority control function not
active (output behaves according to parameter “Reaction after
priority”)
0 0 Priority control function not
active (output behaves according to parameter “Reaction after
priority”)
Bit 0=1 leads to the closing of the relay in the “make
contact” relay mode and to the opening of the relay in the
“break contact” relay mode.
Bit 0=0 leads to the output being switched o in the “make
contact” relay mode and to the output being switched on
in the “break contact” relay mode.
If the switch object receives switching telegrams during a
priority control function, the last telegram is stored each
time and is evaluated, if necessary, when the priority function is removed (according to the parameter settings).
Using the parameter “Reaction after priority”, you can set
how the respective channel should behave when the priority function is removed (rst bit (bit 1) is set to zero “0”). The
actuator can be switched on or o (actuated/not actuated),
can follow the current state of the switch object or retain
the current state (no change).
When the staircase lighting function is active, there are
fewer options available for selection.
Priority control is carried out without a delay.

- Status information (status response)
The status of the output can be read via its own communication object or actively sent. This means that the status
of the relay is available as a telegram on the bus after each
switching process. The value of the “Status feedback object”
always conveys the current status of the relay. When the
relay is closed, the value is “1” while the value is “0” when
the relay is opened, regardless of the relay operation mode.
After bus voltage recovery, a status feedback telegram with
the value “1” is sent via the “Status feedback object” after
approx. 17 s when the relay is closed and the active status
response function is switched on. When the contact is
opened, no “0” telegrams are generated.
If two channels are combined into a changeover contact,
there is only one status feedback object.
Manual operations (for 2-gang and 4-gang switch
actuators) on the device are not recognised. The status therefore no longer corresponds to the status of
the output. The correct status is only available again
after a switching operation via the bus.
The passive status object conveys the status of the relay at
any instant (e.g. for visualisation programs which actively
read out the status).

Scenes
- Scene
The scene function of the switch actuator has an 8 bit scene
object. Using a parameter, you can dene for each scene
whether the scene should be inactive, active or active with
a memory function for new actuator states. A parameter
window appears for each active scene where the settings
can be carried out. 8 independent values can be stored for
each channel. When the scene is retrieved, it can be specied that the channel switches on, switches o or does not
change its state.
A scene is activated when it receives its scene number (1
byte value starting with “1”) at the scene object. If a scene is
parameterised with a memory function, the storing of the
current channel values is carried out using the object value
of the scene (scene number) + 128 (see table).

The scene function has likewise a low priority. Its behaviour
in combination with other functions corresponds to the
behaviour of the central function.
