1.3. Basic Setup

General description

The text window is for entering general information, eg name of user, date of configuration, reference to documentation, etc.

No. of channels

For selection of the number of channels desired in the system. The minimum is 8, the maximum is 128 in one Dupline network.

Auto-start Dupline on short-circuit

In case of a short-circuit on Dupline, the Generator shuts down the Dupline signal. Under default conditions, power-off followed by power-on needs to be performed to reset the Generator after removal of the short-circuit. However, if the "Auto-start Dupline on short-circuit" box is checked, then the Generator will automatically start up the Dupline signal after removal of the short-circuit.

Enable automatic update of realtime status upon Config-download and System power-up

If this box is checked, the Generator will automatically set the correct status for realtime channels according to the switch-time settings, provided that the actual Day of the week matches the internal Day of the week of the Generator. Also, the Generator will only scan the switch times (ON or OFF) for that same day.

Enable Automatic Daylight saving. Central European Time standard

If this box is checked, the Generator will automatically change the time settings 2 times per year according to the European standard for daylight savings.

Enable RTC Powerline Autocalibration

Selecting Auto-calibrate, will enable the internal Realtime clock to adjust its internal calibration against the Mains-supply frequency. In most countries, the Mains-supply frequency is very accurate, and in that case an improved accuracy on the Realtime clock can be achieved.

Syncronize Time to PC date and Time

If this button is activated when the Generator is connected to the PC, then the PC date and time will be transferred to the realtime clock of the Generator.

2.1. General

The objects are the specific functions of the G 3800 X015. The functions are assigned to channels, and the associated parameters determines the operation of the channels.

2. Objects

G 3800 X015 Configuration Software October 2002

2.2.1. Blank channel (no function)

Description

The use of blank channels in Dupline is based on the circumstance that in- and output are independent of each other. Since this object does not fulfill a function between in- and output, an input on the address configured as blank function will be ineffective.

At the same time, it is possible to control the channel - and consequently the functions coded for the address - either through the master function (see chapter 2.2.6) or as output of logic setups (see chapter 3). In addition, a blank channel can be used as a monostable flag.

Parameters

None.

• Function: None

• Application: Activation of output channels through master functions or logic setups

• Insert with mouse (“Blank channel”)

2.2. Standard objects

G 3800 X015 Configuration Software October 2002

2.2.2. The push-button function

Description

The push-button function - the most simple object of the Dupline Master Generator - makes it possible to connect any type of push button switch and contact to the Dupline bus. With this function, outputs can indirectly be controlled with logic functions.

In this function, the output follows the input signal: the output is activated as long as the input signal is ON (inverted in Normally Closed function).

Parameters

Configuration window of push-button function:

Time characteristics

PManTTast_1a

PManTTast_2a

The output follows the input upon a short delay. In the Normally closed function, the output function is the opposite of the input function.

Parameter Description

Inverted function When this function is selected, the output signal is inverted. This means that the

output is activated as long as the input has not been set.

G 3800 X015 Configuration Software October 2002

2.2.4. Timer/Recycler

Description

This object makes it possible to select between two modes of operation: timer and recycler. In both modes, an input coded to the channel of the timer starts the functions, but the input can also be activated by a different channel or flag.

Timer (with on-delay or off-delay)

The timer allows the setting of an on-delay and/or an off-delay. When an input coded to this channel is activated, the on-delay starts. After elapse of this delay, the Off time starts. The Off time stops after the set time, if the input is released before expiry of the set time. If the input is not released, the output remains activated.

Recycler

If the recycler is activated by an input, the recycler continuously generates a square-wave signal. The output is activated after the set on-delay period and de-activated after the set off-delay period. This process is repeated, as long as the input or the additional trigger is ON.

Parameters

Depending on the options selected under Timer function, a number of parameters can be selected for Timer and Recycler:

Timer (with on-delay or off-delay)

Configuration window for timer with on- or off-delay:

Parameter Description

Timer function Select the option On-Off delay, in order to use the Timer function

Activation by pulse Select this option to start the timer by means of a short impulse, eg through a

push button switch

On delay Enter the time (0 s to 99 h, 59 min, 59 s) which must pass before the channel is

activated

The on-delay tEstarts shortly after the input signal at time t1. After elapse of the delay, the On-time tNstarts. After elapse of the On-time (t

), the output switches off again. To achieve this, the input must be reset before

time t

Parameter Description

Enabled by address Entering of an additional channel (A1..P8) or flag (W1..Z8) which will also enable

the timer function. To prevent locking, the channel assigned to the timer itself must not be used. If the additional signal is an impulse, select the option Activation by pulse.

Application Example

Task: A fan in a bathroom is to start 5 min after the light has been switched on and run for 10 min.

Solution: The lighting is activated by a push button connected to a sensor module (for example a univer-

sal input module) and configured for address A1 as a toggle switch function. An output of a relay module is assigned the same address and activates the lighting. A second channel A2 is configured as Timer and activated by the above-mentioned push button. An additional channel of the output module is also assigned the address A2 and activates the fan.

Recycler

The impulse is generated shortly after the input has switched on at time t

. A pulse cycle consists of the On-

time t

and the Off-time tA. When the input is switched off, the pulse cycle also ends.

Solution: Use for example the universal input module to provide the input signal and configure one of the

inputs for address A1. Assign the same address to one of the outputs of a relay module. Finally, configure channel A1 in the Master Generator as a toggle switching function.

: The real-time clock activates the channel at the pre-defined time without affecting the input channel.

: By activation of the input, the output switches off directly.

: By activating the input once more, the output switches on again.

: At the set Switch off time, the input is always deactivated.

: The output can always be activated againg through the output.

G 3800 X015 Configuration Software October 2002

2.2.6. Master function

Description

The master function allows simultaneous activation of a random number of channels configured for suitable objects. When the master function is activated, an on-signal is generated on the channels configured for switching on. Likewise, an off-signal is generated on channels configured for switching off. The objects configured for these channels thus determine the behaviour of the outputs.

Note: the following characteristics of the master function:

• A master function has priority over the individual functions at the time of activation, ie it is not possible to activate the individual channels as long as the master function is on. Upon reset of the master function, the decentral functions are accepted again.

• It is to be noted, in particular in connection with real-time clocks, that only one master command can apply at a time. When several master functions are activated at the same time, only the one with the highest address number (eg B7 has priority over A5) will be applied.

• The master function cannot affect channels with advanced functions, eg alarm channels or analog sensors.

• A master function cannot activate another master function.

Parameters

Configuration window of Master function: (In this example, a real-time clock is included and the option “Enter Switch times”:

• Function: Simultaneous on- and off-switching of multiple toggle switch functions, real-time clocks, etc, upon activation of input.

• Integrated real-time clock with four switch times

• Application: Simultaneous off- on on-switching of multiple loads, calling lighting scenes in connection with dimmers.

• Select with mouse (“Master function”) or short-cut key “M”.

• Bistable master function

function

The master function remains active until the input is switched off. In the above example, the outputs switch on, and - in the case of a push button function - remain on, until the master function switches off again.

Parameter Description

Address matrix Mark the addresses to be switched on by the master function with “1” and the

addresses to be switched off with “0”.* Addresses marked with “x” are not affected. Addresses which are automatically marked with a red line cannot be controlled by a master function, eg master functions, roller blind controls, etc.

Toggle switch If this function is selected, the master function will toggle between the selected

output status and the inverted output status, whenever the input is activated.

Include Real-time A real-time clock is included to time-control the master function. The field “Enter

Switch times” appears.

Enter Switch times Click here to open or close a matrix in which to enter switch times

Real-time clock Normally, the real-time clock for time-control of the master function behaves in

the same way as the object “Real-time clock”. See chapter 2.2.5. Real-time clock for further details.

Unlike a separate real-time clock, the built-in real-time clock only generates one switching impulse. This is particularly important to bear in mind when the master function is to control push button functions, since the switch signal may be of very short duration.

As a Flip-Flop Master The real-time function operates both ON-switching and OFF-switching. This

enables simultaneous ON- and OFF-switching of multiple channels. The channels marked with “1” switch on when the master is activated and switch off upon deactivation. The channels marked with “0” behave in the opposite way.

2.3. Special objects

2.3.1. Analog sensors

Description

The objects of the analog sensors offer the possibility of integrating analog measuring devices in Dupline and processing their values. It is possible to select among four types of sensor functions.

Measuring sensor

General sensor object, with which all the other sensor types can be integrated (the following sensors, such as the light sensor, are indicated by different icons and the measuring ranges are partly pre-defined).

Since all sensors operate in the same way, their functions are illustrated by means of the general measuring sensor.

Light sensor

This pre-defined object for the light sensor DLUX operates in the same way as the measuring sensor, but has a different icon and the preset measuring range of 0.1 to 100,000 Lux.

Wind sensor

This sensor object is intended for the integration of a wind meter (anemometer), but requires a conversion module. Apart from that, this object operates like the measuring sensor.

Temperature sensor

This object also operates in the same way as the measuring sensor, but has its own icon for easy recognition.

General information

Channels for analog transmission operate in the same way as other switching channels. For example, they cannot be switched with switches that operate on the same channel. This means that an additional channel is needed when for example a sensor only is to be switched manually and only at a certain time.

Furthermore, analog values cannot be processed by means of flags. In stead, it is possible to configure any number of analog sensors so that they relate to the same “source value”.

• Function: Transmission and output of analog values (from temperature, light and other sen sors) to perform switching functions

• Application: Display of analog (AnaLink) values on text display/touchscreen: load switching (for example heating elements, lamps, roller blinds) in relation to temperature or outdoor light, etc.

• Readout at any time of analog values in relation to external values

• Up to two switching ranges can be defined on each channel

• Disabling of switching operations through an additional channel or flag

• Select with mouse “Analog Sensor”

G 3800 X015 Configuration Software October 2002

Parameters

Configuration window of the analog sensor function:

In general, the operation of sensors depends on the purpose of using the values:

Showing data on PC, Touchscreen or Text display

In this case, the parameters “Control output” and “Alternative input” should not be activated, because in that case the analog value will only be transmitted and not displayed. Finally, the measuring range should be configured with minimum and maximum values (eg -30 ˚C and +60 ˚C):

Hint: In this operating mode, limit values can be set. It is also possible to use the switching commands of this channel as input in logic functions without activating the parameter “Control output”.

Switching an electrical load by means of the sensor

For this purpose, the parameter “ Control output” must be activated in order to output the set limit values. This output function causes a switching command on this channel and thereby an output (eg relay) on the same address. The sensor is to be configured as follows:

1. Enter the measuring range of the sensor (stated directly on the sensor or in the user manual), e.g. -30 ˚C and +60 ˚C.

2. Enter the switching range at which the object switches on or off: Standard setting gives the threshold value Off < Limit and On > Limit. This means that the channel switches off when the analog value drops below the first entered value, and the channel switches on when the analog value exceeds the second entered value.

But this is rarely the case. More often - and in particular in heating control systems - the heating element is to switch on when the temperature drops below set value and switch off when set value is exceeded. The inverted output function needed for this purpose is selected with the parameter “Invert limits”, which changes the entered values into On < Limit and Off > Limit. Select the values appearing in the window in order to control the temperature of a room within the range of 19 ˚C and 21 ˚C.

3. If you want to add night setback to your heating control system, select the option “Enable Limit 2” to enter a second pair of limit values and specify a channel or flag in the field “Enabled by address”, eg address A3 configured for the real-time clock function. Hint: These limits can also be inverted by clicking “Invert limits”.

4. The entire analog signal output can be disabled through a channel or a flag by entering a “Disable address”. When the Disable address is switched on, the sensor object switches neither On nor Off.

5. Finally, the analog values can also in this case be provided by another channel. By clicking in the field “Alternative input” and entering an address in the field “Measuring channel”, an analog value can generate a random number of outputs.

When the Configuration Software has been connected to the master, the actual values are shown:

G 3800 X015 Configuration Software October 2002

The following table gives an overview of all parameters:

Parameter Description

Function Select the function of an ordinary measuring sensor, light sensor, wind or tempe-

rature sensor. Basically, all functions operate in the same way.

Disable address When the channel or flag entered here is activated, all switching operations of the

sensor are disabled.

The value can be overwritten at any time and deleted by the Delete-key.

Control output This entry is needed in order to use the sensor to activate a relay coded to the

same address.

If the analog value is to be displayed on this channel (for instance on a Touchscreen), then this option must not be selected.

Invert limits This option inverts the switching function in relation to the limit values.

Alternative input When selecting this option, the analog value is provided by another channel. The

channel to provide the alternative analog value is entered in the field “Measuring channel”.

Sensor input range The upper and lower limit values of the sensor. For example, the lower value

could be -30 ˚C, while the upper value could be 60 ˚C.

Note: The entry of each value must be confirmed with the Enter-key.

Measuring channel If the sensor providing the value is coded for another channel, this “source chan-

nel “ is entered here. For this purpose, the option “Alternative input” must be activated. The value can be overwritten at any time and deleted again by the Deletekey.

Off < Limit These are the switching limits of the sensor object. If the option “Invert limits” is On > Limit not selected, the limit values appear as described, ie if the values “17.0” and or “20.0” are entered, the channel switches off when the actual value is below 17.0 On < Limit and switches on when the actual value is above 20.0. Off > Limit

When the limit values are inverted, the sensor switches on when the actual value is below 17.0 and switches off when the actual value is above 20.0. This setting is typical for a heating control system.

The limit values are only active, when the address enabling a second pair of limit values is not switched on.

Note: The entry of each value must be confirmed with the Enter-key.

Enable limit 2 This option is selected in order to enter a second pair of limit values, for instance

Off < Limit The second pair of limit values makes it possible to enable a different switching On > Limit operation through a different address - “Enabled by address”. If “Enabled by or address” is activated, the second pair of limit values will apply in stead of the first On < Limit pair. Off > Limit

The second pair of limit values can also be inverted by the “Invert limits” option.

Note: The entry of each value must be confirmed with the Enter-key.

Enabled by address When the selected channel or flag is not active, the first pair of limit values will

apply, when it is active, the second pair will apply.

The value can be overwritten at any time and deleted by the Delete-key.

Time characteristics

Sensor for display of measuring values

In this application, the displayed value follows the actual value after a short delay.

Note: Upon switch-on of the sensor or the Dupline bus, the actual sensor value is only reached after a time elapse of 30 s. This time is needed by the system to calculate the value accurately.

Sensor as switching channel

The time characteristics of the sensors are here illustrated by the example of a temperature sensor: the upper curve shows the room temperature, the curve in the middle shows the Disable address, and the lower curve shows temperature sensor as switching channel.

PMan_TTemp_1a

t3t

t1: The room temperature drops to the value entered for On > Limit, eg 21°C. Since no Disable Address

is entered, the object “Temperature sensor” switches the channel on.

: The temperature reaches the value entered for Off < Limit, eg 17°C. Since a Disable Address is still not

entered, the channel assigned to the “Temperature sensor” object switches off.

: The room temperature reaches the lower limit value again, and the object switches on.

: The Disable Address (channel or flag) is activated, for example through a toggle switch.

: Although the upper limit value is reached, the object does not switch the channel on, because the

Disable address is active.

: The temperature sensor switching channel does not switch off, until the Disable address is deactivated.

Application Example

Task: A heating element is to keep the room temperature between 19°C and 21°C during daytime. At

night, the temperature must be lowered by 4°C.

A temperature sensor located in the room is coded for address A2 and displays the temperature on a Touchscreen.

Solution: Since the analog sensor value on A2 is already needed for displaying the temperature, we

assign the temperature sensor object - and consequently the relay controlled by the heating element - to address A3.

For the night setback, we assign a real-time clock to A4 with the desired switching times. The real-time clock serves as an additional address for enabling the second pair of limit values.

Description

The object “Motion detector” makes it possible to include Dupline Passive Infrared Detector (PIR), eg G8910 1127 and conventional motion detectors, which are connected to the Dupline bus via binary inputs.

The PIR detector can have an off time defined and be integrated in the intruder alarm system. Thereby it becomes possible avoid false alarms by setting the number of impulses which must be detected within a 10 s time window before the alarm starts.

Note: If you want a PIR detector to generate the off time indepedently, the object “Push button function” should be used. The off time of G8910 1127 can be operated through DIP-switches.

Parameters

Configuration window of Motion detector:

• Function: Includes motion detectors or similar input modules in the Dupline system.

• Application: Control of lamps and integration in the intruder alarm system

• Off time adjustable from 00 h 00 min 00 s to 99 h 59 min 59 s

• Variable number of movement impulses helps to avoid false alarms in the intruder alarm

• Select with mouse (“Motion detector”)

Parameter Description

Off time: The time for which the channel remains activated (00.00.00 to 99.59.59) after a

motion impulse has occured. Each additional impulse will start the off time again. When entering an off time of 00:00:00, the Master Generator generates a short output signal indpendently of the duration of the input signal.

Use in Intruder alarm Click in the check box in order to include the channel in the intruder alarm sys-

tem. A signal from this channel will then also start the intruder alarm (see chapter

2.4.5).

Number of pulses The value entered here (1..255) determines how many impulses the motion

detector may generate within 10 s, before the alarm starts. When an impulse is detected, the Master Generator checks whether the number of impulses during the past 10 s has exceeded the set number. If this is the case, an alarm is generated in the connected intruder alarm system. This setting thus reduces the risk of false alarms.

Note: Since the signal output takes place subsequently, an additional impulse is always needed. This means that when the number of impulses is set to 3, the alarm will go off at the fourth signal. The set off time has no influence on the alarm.

In the following figure, “IN” is the input channel of the motion detector or the contact, while “OUT” is the output signal of the same channel. In addtion, the object “Motion detector” has been integrated in the intruder alarm system (whose alarm siren can also be seen in the below diagram). The number of impulses has been set to “3”.

PMan_TMotion_1a

tP1, tP2, tP3and tP4are the points of time at which the motion detector generates a signal. The impulse duration depends on the characteristics of the detector. T

is the set off time retriggered by the impulses tP2and tP3and

therefore only begins after elapse of the third impulse.

The alarm will not start until after the fourth impulse t

, and only when the time elapse between tP1and tP4is

less than 10 s.

Application Example

Task: A floor lighting is to switch on automatically for 5 minutes with PIR sensor G 8910 1127 and

also serve as intruder alarm when the house is empty.

Solution: G 8910 1127 must be connected to the Dupline bus and given an address (here A1). In this

example, increase of the signal transmission time through the DIP switch is to be switched out. Configure both the object “Motion detector” and an output channel of a relay module for address A1 and additional objects needed for the intruder alarm (Manual armouring, Alarm siren).

Also in this case, the motion detector activates the output module for the lighting directly on address A1. If the alarm system is activated via the manual armouring, the Master Generator generates an alarm within 10 s after the third impulse.

Additional details about the intruder alarm can be found in chapter 2.4.5.

Tip: If you want to use the Sabotage protection (Normally closed function) of the G 8910 1127, you should configure the object “Push button function” for the normally closed function and use the increase of signal transmission time function provided by the module. In order to include the detector with sabotage protection in an intruder alarm system, you must use the object “Active detector” of the intruder alarm system in stead of the Push button function.

G 3800 X015 Configuration Software October 2002

This chapter will assist you in using the four different Dupline alarm systems:

1. ISA-alarm (chapter 2.4.3) This general alarm system develped acc. to ISA specifications is very flexible and has formed the basis of the development of the other alarms systems. Application areas include temperature- and level control as well as plants requiring ordinary alarm functions.

2. Smoke alarm (chapter 2.4.4.) The primary purpose of this alarm system is the connection of the Dupline smoke detector. Of course, other smoke detectors can also be used if they provide a Normally closed or Normally open contact. In this case, the connection to the Dupline system can take place through a digital input.

3. Intruder alarm (chapter 2.4.5) This system provides objects which allow monitoring of input signals for the intruder alarm. The inputs can be either floating or non-floating contacts connected to the system through digital Dupline inputs.

4. Water alarm (chapter 2.4.6)

The Water alarm was developed as a separate system intended for the connection of water stop sensors.

The alarm systems differ in the following ways:

In the armouring (manual/door lock) In the type of alarm resetting (Acknowledgement/Reset) In the way of alarming and In the time characteristics

2.4.2.1. In-/output on one channel

The alarm systems benefit more than any objects fromt he capability of Dupline to differ between in- and outputs on the same channel (Split I/O). Thereby it is possible to use a Normally open contact to reset the system and subsequently switch it in and out alternately.

The user should therefore not be surprised when:

a channel is activated without an input being activated or a channel is not activated although an input is activated

2.4.3. ISA Alarm

• Function: General alarm system with inclusion of Passive detector, Active detector, Acknowledgement, Reset, Lamp test and Alarm siren

• Application: Monitoring of contacts and other alarm sources.

• Select with mouse (“ISA alarm”) or short-cut key “A”

Description

The purpose of the ISA-Alarm is to serve as a general alarm system acc. to the ISA specifications. The system supports two operation modes:

1. Standard: An alarm is reset (“Reset”) and switched on again manually by push button.

2. Auto reset: An alarm is reset and switched on again automatically after acknowledgement and removal of the cause of alarm (Normal position of the alarm contacts).

Alarm contacts are generally included in the system through the objects “Passive detector” and “Active detector”. The alarm system is switched on for the first time after downloading of the application when all alarm contacts are in off-position or the Reset button is activated. The alarm is released when one or several alarm contacts are activated. The system actuates the activated alarm contact approx. every second and switches the alarm output on for the set duration.

When the Acknowledgement button has been actuated in the “Standard” operation mode, the alarm contacts switch from flashing to continuous operation and the alarm output is switched off. At this point of time, renewed actuation of an alarm contact does not trigger off an alarm. Subsequent acuation of the Reset button switches the alarm contact off and releases the alarm system.

If the Reset button is actuated before the Acknowledgement button, the system will also switch off the alarm output, but the alarm contacts will continue to flash. A new alarm is caused by renewed activation of an alarm contact.

In the operation mode “Auto reset”, the alarm system is restarted after acknowledgement and with alarm contacts in off-position.

The status of the alarm contacts can easily be displayed, eg on a panel. This only requires that the output channels are coded for the same addresses as the alarm contacts. The functionality of the lamps can then be tested by means of the object “Lamp test”.

For giving out alarms, the object “Common siren” can also be used. Further details can be found in chapter

2.4.7.

The various ISA objects are selected under “Function”:

Passive detector: Normally open input. This object makes it possible to include

passive detectors. When the contact is activated and a “1”-Signal consequently transmitted on the Dupline bus, an alarm is started.

Active detector: Normally closed input. This object makes it possible to include

active detectors. When the contact is activated and a “0”-Signal consequently transmitted on the Dupline bus, an alarm is started.

Acknowledgement: This object makes it possible to include acknowledgement buttons.

Upon actuation of an acknowledgement button, the alarm output is reset and the alarm source indication prepared for the resetting (changing from flashing to continuous operation).

Note: This object must always be configured.

Reset: This object is only needed in the operation mode “Standard” and

makes it possible to include a button for resetting the alarm and restarting the system. This requires prior acknowledgement of the alarm.

Parameter Description

Operation mode Standard:

This setting means that activation of the alarm system takes place upon prior release by the reset button. This entails that the object “Reset” must be configured.

Auto reset:

With this setting, the system activates itself automatically upon acknowledgement, when all passive and active detectors are in their “normal” position (in which they do not trigger off alarms)

Note: Operation mode can be selected for any object of the ISA alarm - but applies to the entire system. If the object “Reset” is selected to include a reset button, the system assumes that the operation mode “Standard” is to be selected. Simultaneously, the option operation mode is deactivated and can only be reactivated by unclicking the object “Reset”. If “Auto reset” is selected, the system prevents configuration of the “Reset” object.

Passive detector

Disable address Enter an address (A1..P8) or a flag (W1..Z8) whose activation (“1”-signal) will leave

out the Passive detector function of the monitoring system whereby it cannot trigger off any further alarms.

activation of the alarm contact.

Active detector

Disable address Enter an address (A1..P8) or a flag (W1..Z8) whose activation (“1”-signal) will leave

out the Passive detector function of the monitoring system whereby it cannot trigger off any further alarms.

If a contact is activated during resetting, the system triggers off a new alarm When this object is configured, the operation mode “Standard” is automatically

selected.

Lamp test: This object makes it possible to test the function of lamps indicating the status of

the alarm contacts. All alarm channels are activated upon actuation of the lamp test button.

Alarm siren: The alarm siren indicates the occurence of an alarm. The channel configured for

this object can be used for alarm output on a random number of output modules. It usually activates a relay output switching a siren.

2.4.4. The Smoke Alarm

• Function: Fire alarm system including Passive detector, Active detector, Reset, Alarm Siren and Alarm signal

• Application: Wiring of smoke/fire indicators to an alarm system

• Select with mouse (“Smoke alarm”) or short-cut key “S”

Description

The purpose of the Smoke Alarm is an alarm system consisting of smoke and fire indicators integrated as Passive or Active detectors. The wiring makes it possible to replace conventional fire alarm systems.

Smoke detectors are generally included in the system through the objects “Passive detector” or “Active detector”. The alarm system is automatically alert after elapse of the Reset delay (set with the Reset object), when the Configuration software has been downloaded or the Master Generator has been switched on. The Reset output switches on within this time.

An alarm is triggered off when one or several alarm contacts are activated for more than 10 s. The channel for the activated alarm contacts (alarm source indication) as well as the alarm output start to flash approx. every second. By subsequent activation of the reset key, the Master Generator switches the channel out of the system. If contacts are still activated, another alarm is triggered off after elapse of the reset delay.

Note: Configuration of the object “Reset” is absolutely necessary to ensure correct function.

The status of the alarm contacts can be shown in a simple way on a panel. All that is needed for this purpose is that the output channels are coded to the addresses of the alarm contacts.

The object “Alarm signal” makes it possible to control a telephone or GSM modem because of the short message on this channel.

For alarm purposes, the object Common Siren can also be used. Details can be found in the section describing The alarm siren/Common siren.

The various smoke alarm objects are set under “Channel function”:

Passive detector: Normally open input. This object makes it possible to include

passive detectors. When the contact is activated and a “1”-Signal consequently transmitted on the Dupline bus, an alarm is started.

Active detector: Normally closed input. This object makes it possible to include

active detectors. When the contact is activated and a “0”-Signal consequently transmitted on the Dupline bus, an alarm is started.

Reset: This object makes it possible to include a button to reset the alarm and restart the

system. . If a contact is activated during reset, a new alarm is started after elapse of the reset delay.

Note: This object must be configured in order to achieve correct function of the smoke alarm system.

Alarm siren: The siren indicates that an alarm has occurred. The channel configured with

this object can be used to output the alarm on any output modules. It usually activates a relay output through which a siren is switched.

Note: The alarm output basically flashes.

Alarm signal: When an alarm occurs, a channel configured with this object is activated for

10 s and can thus be used to activate a telephone or GSM-modem.

: After a short delay (approx. 3 s) after the occurence of a fire (activation of the Passive detector), the alarm is started. This takes place by the alarm siren flashing and by output of the Passive detector channel, whereby the alarm source is indicated.

: The channel generator activates the alarm signal channel after elapse of the set alarm signal delay TM.

: By activation of the reset button, the alarm siren and the alarm source indication are reset, although the alarm source (Passive detector) is activated as before. The reason is that the Master Generator ignores all alarm sources during the reset delay.

: By removing the smoke from the smoke detector, the Passive detector opens again and deactivates the alarm channel.

: After elapse of the reset delay, the system becomes alert again, and the reset output is reset.

2.4.5. The Intruder Alarm

• Function: Intruder alarm system including Passive/Active detector contacts, Toggle switch functions, Motion detectors, Manual and Door-lock Armouring, Code lock Armouring, Alarm siren and Alarm signal

• Application: Wiring of intruder detector contacts to an alarm system

• Select with mouse (“Intruder alarm”) or short-cut key “I”

Description

The purpose of the Intruder Alarm is an alarm system consisting of various contacts integrated as Passive or Active detectors. The wiring makes it possible to replace conventional intruder alarm systems.

Apart from the contacts represented by their own objects (Passive and Active dectector), it is also possible to include toggle switch functions and motion detectors which have already been configured. This is done directly when setting the parameters for these objects.

A system which is enabled will then start an alarm when one or several alarm contacts have been activated. The channel for the activated alarm channels (as alarm source indication) as well as the alarm output start to flash after the set time delay. By subsequent activation of the Manual armouring, the Door-lock armouring or Code lock armouring, the Master Generator switches the channel out of the system and switches the alarm output off.

If an alarm is not acknowledged before elapse of the alarm signal delay, the system automatically becomes alert again.

Note: Configuration of the objects “Manual armouring”, “Door-lock armouring” or “Code lock armouring” is absolutely necessary to ensure correct function.

It is not necessary to use the objects “Manual armouring” or “Code lock armouring”, but it is possible to have an operation mode in addition to or in stead of the “Manual armouring”. By use of two objects, an alarm must necessarily be acknowledged with the object which is also used to alert the system.

The status of the alarm detectors can be shown in a simple way on a panel. All that is needed for this purpose is that the output channels are coded to the addresses of the alarm contacts.

The object “Alarm signal” makes it possible to control a telephone or GSM modem because of the short message on this channel.

For alarm purposes the object Common Siren can also be used. Details can be found in the chapter describing The alarm siren/Common siren.

The various Intruder alarm objects are selected under “Channel function”:

Passive detector: This object makes it possible to control windows, doors, etc. with Passive de-

tector. If the contact is activated and a “1”-Signal consequently transmitted on the Dupline bus, an alarm is started.

Active detector: This object makes it possible to control windows, doors, etc. with Active de-

tector. When the contact is activated and a “0”-Signal consequently transmitted on the Dupline bus, an alarm is started.

Toggle switch function: “Use in Intruder alarm”. See the chapter describing the Toggle Switch function

Motion detector: The motion detector can also be integrated in the intruder alarm. See the

chapter describing the Motion detector.

G 3800 X015 Configuration Software October 2002G 3800 X015 Configuration Software October 2002G 3800 X015 Configuration Software October 2002

Manual This object makes it possible to include a push button to enable armouring: and reset the alarm.

The object only enables the alarm contacts for which no or a deactivated disable address has been entered. Manual armouring thus partly enables alarms. Upon activation of manual armouring, the armouring delay begins to run. During this time, the channel generator ignores activated alarm contacts. If subsequently an enabled alarm contact is activated, this channel begins to flash and triggers off an alarm through the siren after elapse of the de-armouring delay. To acknowledge the alarm, press the manual armouring key once. To restart the alarm system, press twice.

Door lock This object makes it possible to include a switch to activate the armouring: alarm system. The function is similar to that of the manual armour-

ing, only in door lock armouring the disable addresses entered at the alarm contacts are ignored. This means that the switch performs total enabling. Upon activation of the switch, the armouring delay begins to run. During this time, the channel generator ignores activated alarm contacts. If subsequently an alarm contact is activated, this channel (like manual armouring) begins to flash and triggers off an alarm through the siren after elapse of the de-armouring delay. The alarm is acknowledged by switching off the door-lock armouring. The system becomes alert by renewed switching on.

Code lock This object can be used as an alternative to door-lock armouring. armouring: The mode of operation is identical, since this object also performs

total enabling of all - also disabled - alarm contacts. The object awaits an impulse from the code lock to make the alarm system alert. An additional impulse is needed in order to acknowledge an occuring alarm (see manual armouring).

Alarm siren: The alarm siren indicates that an alarm has occured. The channel

configured for this object can be used to output the alarm on different output modules. It usually activates a relay output through which a siren is switched. The configuration also allows the alarm output to flash and makes it possible to determine additional channels which also flash.

Alarm signal: When an alarm occurs, a channel configured with this object is

activated for 10 s and can thereby be used to activate a telephone modem or a GSM modem.

Application Example

Task: In a residential building, eight rooms are to be equipped with window and door contacts. All

light switches as well as two motion detectors are to be included in the system. When an alarm occurs, a siren switches on and the police is informed via a telephone modem. A panel shows the source of the alarm. The system should moreover make it possible to disable the alarm contacts on each floor.

Solution: The alarm contacts are grouped room-wise (switched in series). Each room is assigned to a NO

contact within the range E1..E8. The source of the alarm is shown on a panel whose LED is acitvated via a mimic display. The addresses correspond to those of the alarm contacts. The alarm is sounded through a horn, which is activated via a relay on address F3. The alarm can be brought into the alert state as well as acknowledged through the Manual Armouring function on F1 in the input range or through the Code Lock Armouring function at the entrance door. Disabling of floors is performed with two switches.

2.4.6. The Water Alarm

• Function: Water alarm system including Passive detector, Active detector, Reset, Siren and Alarm signal

• Application: Wiring of water indicators, eg the water stop sensor, to an alarm system

• Select with mouse (“Water alarm”) or short-cut key “W”

Description

The purpose of the Water Alarm is an alarm system consisting of water sensors integrated as Passive or Active detector. The wiring makes it possible to replace conventional fire alarm systems.

Water detectors are generally included in the system through the objects “Passive detector” or “Active detector”. The alarm system is automatically alert after elapse of the Reset delay (set with the reset object), when the Configuration software has been downloaded or the Master Generator has been switched on. The Reset output switches on within this time.

An alarm is triggered off when one or several alarm contacts are activated for more than 10 s. The system steps through the activated alarm contacts (as alarm indication) as well as the alarm output approx. every second. The alarm siren flashes with a pulse-pause ratio of approx. 3 s/57 s. By subsequent activation of the reset key, the Master Generator resets the stepping through of the alarm contacts and the alarm output. If contacts are still activated, another alarm is triggered off after elapse of the reset delay.

Note: Configuration of the object “Reset” is absolutely necessary to ensure correct function.

The status of the alarm contacts can be shown in a simple way on a panel. All that is needed for this purpose is that the output channels are coded to the addresses of the alarm contacts.

The object “Alarm signal” makes it possible to control a telephone or GSM modem because of the short message on this channel.

For alarm purposes, the object Common Siren can also be used. Details can be found in the chapter describing the alarm siren/Common siren.

The various fire alarm objects are selected under “Channel function”:

Passive detector: Normally open input. This object makes it possible to include

passive detectors. When the contact is activated and a “1”-Signal consequently transmitted on the Dupline bus, an alarm is started.

Active detector: Normally closed input. This object makes it possible to include

active detectors. When the contact is activated and a “0”-Signal consequently transmitted on the Dupline bus, an alarm is started.

Reset: This object makes it possible to include a button to reset the alarm and restart the

system. . If a contact is activated during reset, a new alarm is started after elapse of the Reset delay.

Note: This object must be configured in order to achieve correct function of the water alarm system.

Alarm siren: The alarm siren indicates the occurrence of an alarm. The channel configured

for this object can be used for alarm output on any output modules. It usually activates a relay output switching a siren.

In case of alarm, this output flashes with an on-time of approx. 3 s and an offtime of approx. 57 s.

Alarm signal: When an alarm occurs, a channel configured for this object is activated for 10

s and can thus be used to activate a telephone or GSM modem.

2.4.7. Common Siren

• Function: Common output of ISA-, Smoke-, Intruder- and Water alarm

• Application: Output of several alarms on one siren in addition to or in replacement of alarm system specific sirens

• Select with mouse (“Common Siren”)

Description

The Common Siren offers the possibility of transmitting the alarms of all alarm systems on one channel. The alarm of the siren output behaves in the same way as the individual alarm sirens. If several alarms are on, they are indicated wtih the following priority:

1. Smoke alarm

2. Intruder alarm

3. Water alarm

4. ISA alarm

The operation of the common siren is independent of whether a siren was configured in the individual alarm system.

Note: The signal time entered in the Common siren is automatically adopted by the individual sirens. This also applies to reversed function.

If an alarm has been acknowledged or reset, the Master Generator also resets the signal of the common siren.

2.5. Roller blind control

2.5.1. Decentralized roller blind up-down function

Description

The decentralized roller blind up-down control makes it possible to run Dupline roller blind control modules for roller blind and sun blind motors. By organizing the up- and down-channels, the Master Generator ensures undisturbed operation by preventing both directions from being activated at the same time and ensuring that the delay time is observed.

The up-channel generally overrides the down-channel, ie if both are activated at the same time, the Master Generator will execute the up-command.

Address configuration

The roller blind control can only be configured for an uneven channel number. This means that the up-channel must have an uneven address number assigned to it and the down-channel must have an even address number assigned to it. This reflects the address coding of the roller blind modules. Here the up-channel must also have an uneven output assigned to it, while the down-channel must have an even output channel addressed to it.

• Function: Up-Down control of roller blind motors

• Application: Control of motors for roller blinds, sun blinds and roof windows through Dupline modules G 3430 4249.

• Run time and Switch time individually adjustable

• Tilted blinds for sun blinds and priority control for example for wind sensor.

Note: When, in spite of correct address configuration, the motor runs in the opposite direction, the corresponding connecting cables of the motor are reversed. In this case, correct connection must be ensured - the channels must under no circumstances be reversed.

Operation

The up- and down-buttons configured for the addresses of the roller blind control allow very simple operation:

• By pressing the direction key once, the motor runs to the end position or for the duration of the roll time.

• By pressing the same direction key once more, the motor stops.

• By pressing in the opposite direction, the motor stops shortly and runs in the opposite direction until it reaches end position or for the duration of the roll time.

When the option “Tilted blinds” is selected, the following options are available:

• If the direction key is pressed for less than three seconds, the motor stops when the key is no longer pressed.

• If the direction key is pressed for more than three seconds, the motor runs to the end position or for the duration of the run time. Here it is also possible to stop the motor by pressing the key once more or let it run in the opposite direction by pressing the other direction key.

The Tilted blinds function makes it possible to activate the sun blinds shortly, so that in stead of causing upor down-movenment it changes the position of the tilting blinds.

Automating the roller blind control

Surely, many methods of automatic operation of roller blinds exist. Not only wind- and rain sensors, but also light sensors and clock timers increase comfort through automatic functions.

Such functions should - if not configured as priority address - usually be made by means of Logic setup, where primarily edge triggering is to be used which prevents continuous signals and allows permanent operator control. Further details can be found in the chapter on Logic Setup.

Connection of several motors

Simultaneous activation of several motors can be achieved by:

1. connecting all motors to separate outputs and

2. assigning the same address to all up-channels as well as all down-channels.

We strongly advise against connecting two or more motors in parallel to one output channel.

The flexible way of controlling several motors centrally or group-wise is to use the Roller blind master function. Further details are found in chapter 2.5.2.

Parameter Description

Roller blind control (Decentralized Up-Down)

Roll time Insert the times (seconds) for which the motor is to run in each direction. The

value must be within 0 and 255 s. The selected time interval should ensure that the roller blinds can reach the end positions in both directions where an end position contact must switch the motor off. Intermediate values allows shadow, for example. But it should be ensured that the roller blind is in one of the end positions before start. The entered roll time is overwritten by the roll time of the master.

Reverse delay Enter the delay time (milliseconds) before the roller blind changes direction. The

value should lie between 500 and 2000 ms.

Tilting blinds This option allows adjustment of tilting blinds. The function stops within the first

three seconds after the key is released.

The tilting blinds option must be activated if you want to define for how long the roller blinds must run in the opposite direction after expiry of the roll time

Address By activation of the entered channel address, the roller blind runs in the selected

direction for the entered roll time. As long as the indicated priority channel is set, input signals on the roller blind channels are ignored.

Note: The priority channel also overrides the master control.

Priority A channel or flag can be entered by which the up- or down-direction of the roller

blinds is given priority

The above illustration is based on a roller blind application with adjustment of tilting blinds (Reverse Up time TVof 3 s).

: The button for the up-direction is activated. Since the impulse is shorter than the Reverse Up time T

(3 s), the motor stops when the button is released.

: The up-direction is activated again. Since the impulse this time is longer than the Reverse Up time TV, the

roller master control attempts to switch the channel on for the total roll time.

: An additional actuation in the same direction stops the motor.

: Now the button for the up-direction is activated again and the motor consequently started in the up-

direction.

: By activation of the button for the down-direction, the motor is stopped and the Reverse delay TUstarts.

: After elapse of the Reverse delay TU, the motor rolls in the down-direction.

: After elapse of the roll time TL, the motor is stopped. In order to reach the end of the roll time, the activa-

tion of the Down-button must last longer than the Reverse Up time T

Application Example

Task: Control of several roller blinds as well as a roof window in a building. The system should include

groupwise control for two different floors as well as master control of all roller blinds together. To protect the roller blinds, a wind sensor and a rain sensor are installed. The roller blinds are to roll down by rain and up by wind, and wind has priority. The roof window is to close by rain.

Solution: The roller blinds as well as the roof window are activated through Dupline roller blind control

modules. For the group-wise and the master control, roller blind master controls are used. The address of the wind sensor is marked directly in the roller blind controls as priority address. The down-channel of the master control is activated through logic setup via the address of the rain sensor. Further details can be found in chapter 2.5.2.

With the logic setup below, the rain sensor activates all roller blinds in the Down-direction through the master function. If the wind sensor channel is set, the command of the decentralized up-down control is not executed (priority control at each decentral roller blind object).

2.5.2. Roller blind master

Description

This object enables group-wise and master control of for example roller blinds, sun blinds and roof windows. The decentralized roller blind channels configured above (chapter 2.5.1.) are included in the Roller blind master by marking them in the channel matrix.

The roll time set for the Roller blind master applies to all indiviual controls and overrides their roll times. Entering a Reverse Up Time allows automatic adjustment of tilting blinds at the end of a cycle. After elapse of the set roll time, the Controller switches the motor in the opposite direction for the set Reverse Up time.

The Roller blind master offers two operation modes for starting the motors:

1. Simultaneous: All motors are started simultaneously.

2. Sequential: All motors - starting with the lowest address - are started at 1 sec. intervals. Thereby current peaks are avoided.

Address configuration

The Roller blind master can only be configured for an uneven address number. This means that the Up-channel must lie on an uneven (eg A1, B5 or P7) and the Down-channel must lie on an even address (eg A2, B6 or P8).

Operation

The Up- and Down-buttons configured for the addresses of the Roller blind master allows very simple operation:

• By pressing a direction key once, all selected motors roll until end position is reached or the roll time has elapsed.

• By pressing the same direction key once more, the set roll time starts again. Thus, it cannot be stopped.

• By pressing the other direction key, the motors stop shortly (decentrally set Reverse Up time) and run in the opposite direction until the end position is reached or the set roll time has elapsed.

• After elapse of the Down-time, the motors run in the Up-direction, provided that a Reverse Up time has been entered and the Tilting blinds function has been activated at the decentral roller blind control.

• During the master command, all motors can also be actuated through their individual decentral roller blind control channels. All functions of the decentral roller blind control are available (Stop, reversal of direction, adjustment of tilting blinds).

Automation of master command

Surely, many methods of automatic operation of roller blinds exist. Not only wind- and rain sensors, but also light sensors and clock timers increase comfort through automatic functions.

Such functions should - if not configured as priority address - usually be made by means of Logic setup, where primarily edge triggering is to be used which prevents continuous signals and allows permanent control by the operator. Further details can be found in the chapter describing the logic setup.

Hint: Please be aware that in the application of clock timers in particular, only one master command can be executed at a time. When several master commands are activated at the same time, the Controller only executes the command with the highest address number, eg H3/H4 before F7/F8.

• Function: Group-wise or master control of decentralized roller blinds

• Application: Group-wise or master control of motors for roller blinds,

• Roll time with priority over individual roll times adjustable

• Simultaneous or sequential roller blind start selectable

• Reverse Up time for tilting blinds when end position reached.

• Enter with mouse (“Roller blind master”)

Parameter Description

Roller blind master

Operation mode The setting determines whether the roller blinds are started simultaneously or

sequentially. With the setting “Sequentially”, the roller blinds start and stop successively at 1 second intervals. This time interval is also observed in connection with change of direction or tilting blind (Reverse Up time). This time interval does not affect the set roll time.

Roll time The roll time determines for how long the roller blinds must run. This roll time

overrides the roll time set in the Decentral up-down roller blind control.

Reverse Up time The Reverse Up time determines the time in seconds for which the roller blinds

must run in the opposite direction after expiry of the roll time. Applies to tilting blinds.

Note: The Controller only executes the Reversing function in decentral roller blind controls in which the option adjustment of “Tilting blinds” has been activated.

2.6. Counter and Multiplexer

2.6.1. Multiplexer (transmission of counter values)

Description

The counter channels with the sum sign ∑ are for transmission of counter values. This multiplex transmission of up to 128 counter values is dedicated to the use of the counter module G 4420 7401.

The range of values to be transmitted can be selected in the Basic setup through the option “Counter range”. Depending on the range of values, a corresponding number of address groups are reserved, whereby the Multiplex system is started.

Hint: The reserved addresses must not be used for other purposes, eg to output switch commands.

There are no further configuration possibilities in the Configuration software - addressing of the channels as well as transmission and saving of data is carried out automatically by the Master Generator.

Module configuration

Detection of the counter values requires correct setting of the counter module G 4420 7401. Apart from the setting the counter range, it is also necessary to assign an address to each module through rotary switch.

Data format

A description of the used data format can be found in the user manual of the counter module G 4420 7401.

Counter value output

Access to and output of the stored counter values is only done through the Modbus communication interface of the Master Generator. There are basically 3 possibilities of continued processing:

1. Representing the values in visualization software or operator panel (eg on a PC with the Dupline WebServer).

2. Through communication programmes, eg the Dupline DDEServer - an open software interface to for example Microsoft

Office applications.

3. Individual reset of counter values.

Simultaneous operation with Multiplex Analog Value Transmisison

If transmission of counter and analog values is needed, care should be taken to avoid address overlap. The transmission channels of the analog modules must be set so that they do not overlap the channels of the counter value transmission. Read the following chapter 2.6.2. “Multiplexer (Transmission of analog values)”.

• Function: Object for detection of max. 128 counter values

• Application: Registration of energy and operating hours with counter module G 4420

7401.

• Configuration through the option Counter and Mux Analog Setup in the edit menu.

Application Example

Task: On a camping site, 64 current values are to be detected and used on a PC for the issue of

Solution: The counter modules G4420 7401 are built into the local power cabinets. Four Dupline energy

counters supply one G4420 7401 with the corresponding impulses. The Master Generator is configured for Counter setup through entry of the counter ranges. A data entry software available through a DDE interface reads out the values via the DDEServer and resets the counter value when a new guest arrives.

The voltage of the individual power outlet is turned on from the PC through a relay module (software DP-Camp). Free channels are used for this purpose.

The applied Master Generator can, of course, also perform additional automation functions.

Description

The (original) multiplexing of analog values makes it possible ot read and write Dupline multiplex analog values. As opposed to AnaLink transmission with analog sensors, two addresses are needed in stead of one, which allows transmission of accurate analog values. The transmission speed is also higher. A full analog value needs one bus cycle, at best. AnaLink values need 256 cycles.

While for the transmission of counter values (see chapter 2.6.1.) only input modules are available, various Dupline output modules are available for multiplex analog values. The output modules have the output ranges

0..20 mA, 4..20 mA and 0..10 V.

In connection with the configuration of the multiplexer in the Basic setup (Options Multiplexer Count and Multiplexer delay), the Configuration software automatically reserves four channels (A1..A4) for addressing the modules. The addressing on these channels is performed automatically by the Master Generator. Data is transferred on two consecutive address groups (C/D, E/F, G/H, I/J, D/L, M/N and O/P). The channels can be set individially to the applied modules and can thus not be reserved by the Master Generator.

Also when the number is limited to 16 because only four channels have been reserved, 112 values can actually be processed. This is possible because up to 7 analog channels receive the same binary address, but subsequently transmit the values to different channel groups. (see above).

Note: The reserved addresses must not be used for other purposes, eg to output switch commands.

Module configuration

Transmission of analog values requires correct setting of the analog modules. Apart from the setting of the transmission channels, it is also necessary to assign a binary address to each module. Details can be found in the datasheets.

Data format

Within the two channel groups (in this case C and D), the value “1957” is generated continuously.

• Function: Object for detection of max. 112 analog values

• Application: Fast transmission of multiplexed analog values through Dupline analog modules

• Configuration under the option “Multiplexer channels” in the Basic setup

Signal available means that an input module continuously provides the value Value valid indicates that the value is valid An “0” stands for a positive value An “1” stands for a negative value

Processing of analog values

As opposed to the counter values, it is not only possible to visualize the analog multiplex values through the Modbus communication interface, but also to change them. There are basically two possibilities of value processing:

1. Representing the values in visualization software or operator panel (eg on a PC with the Dupline WebServer).

2. Through communication programmes, eg the Dupline DDEServer - an open software interface to for example Microsoft

Office applications.

Simultaneous operation with transmission of multiplex analog values

If both multiplex modes are used, care should be taken to avoid address overlap. The transmission channels of the analog modules must be set so that they do not overlap the channels of the counter value transmission. Read the preceding chapter 2.6.1. “Multiplexer (Transmission of counter values)”.

Working with test unit GTU8

GTU8 makes it easy to read out and simulate analog values of this format (operation mode Analog BCD). In the case of simulation, care should be taken that both the bit “Signal available” and the validity bit have been set (see above).

Parameter Description

Multiplexer (Transmisison of analog values)

Multiplex channels With this setting made under <Edit><Counter & Mux Analog Setup>, you select

how many modules should be addressed. The number depends on the number of applied modules and their in-/output channels. From 0 to 16 addresses can be selected. The value 0 switches the multiplex operation out.

Multiplex delay With this setting made under <Edit><Counter & Mux Analog Setup>, you select

how fast the Master Generator may scan the multiplex addresses. This setting only has an effect when multiplex transmission has been activated (at least 1 multiplex channel selected). Since some of the Dupline Multiplex modules need a large part of their capacity for internal processing, their response time is reduced. This can be balanced by a longer delay. The Master Generator then waits for the corresponding number of cycles between the scans.

3. Logic Setup

3.1. Introduction

The preceding chapters have illustrated the simplicity of configuring channels with the pre-defined objects. Praxis, hower, is not always so simple - for example when the outdoor lamps must be controlled in relation to the time of day, or the roller blinds in relation to light or weather or conditions.

The Master Generator offers a splendid tool for solving these tasks: the logic functions, with which any relation can be established between the individual channels. The logic functions are described in the following chapter.

3.2. The dialog - logic functions

3.2.1. Setup

The processing of logic functions takes place in the Dialog “Logic Setup”

Dialog Menu

Logic setup Logic setup

Configuration window of the Logic funtions:

Each logic block always shows eight setups. The individual blocks are selected by pressing the corresponding block numbers. The selected block is marked by a small bar below the box.

Each setup consists of two inputs interconnected by an operand (eg AND). The result of the setup (“True or “False”) is then assigned to the output.

The components are summarized in the following table:

Designation Values Description Abb.

Output A1..P8 Channel or flag whose status is to be changed A

W1..Z8

Input 1 A1..P8 Channel or flag causing the first part of the E1

W1..Z8 conditions for the change in output status

-,/,\

(1) This abbreviation is used in the following to designate the various components.

3.3 Application

3.3.1. Setups and Functions

3.3.1.1. Creating Setups

Navigating

For jumbing between the individual fields, press the Tab-key (forward) or the Alt- and Tab-keys (backwards)

Adding

All fields in a logic setup must be filled in, ie all 4 components must be available. Any number of setups can be selected, and gaps are allowed.

To add a function, place the cursor in any field in the row. Depending on the component, press a letter or number key.

Changing

Changes are made in the same way as additions: place the cursor in the field “Function” and overwrite the old value with the new value.

Deleting

The entire logic row can be deleted by placing the cursor in the field “Function” and press the Delete-key or the space bar.

3.3.1.2. Mode of operation

The in- and outputs can be channel addresses (A1 to P8) or flags (W1 to Z8). Depending on the inputs or logic setup (result of the function), the output is set in each bus cycle (max. all 134 ms). This means that the output assumes the value “0” when the setup is not fulfilled and the value “1” when the setup is fulfilled.

The three logic functions correspond to the mathematical functions AND, OR and XOR (exclusive of OR).

AND

The output is always “1”, when both inputs are “1”.

The output is always “1”, when one or both inputs are “1”.

XOR

The output is “1”, when only one of the two inputs are “1”.

The following tables summarize the results of the logic setups:

AND

E1 E2 A

000 100 010 111

E1 E2 A

000 101 011 111

XOR

E1 E2 A

000 101 011 110

Example: If in the XOR-function, both input 1 (E1) and input 2 (E2) have the value “1”, the output (A) will assume the value “0”.

3.3.2. Inversion and Edge Triggering

A special feature of the logic functions is the possibility of inverting the output:

• When a - (minus) is added in front of the value, the input value and consequently the output are inverted, ie if the input had the value “0”, it gets the value “1” and vice versa.

• Adding a / (slash) in front of the address leads to triggering on leading edge.

• Adding a \ (backslash) in front of the address leads to triggering on trailing edge.

This change in ouput does not affect the input channels or flags.

3.3.2.1. Inversion

Inversion can be applied to both channels and flags. The output can be of any type.

Example of a logic setup:

Output Input 1 Function Input 2

A1 E1 AND -E2

Time characteristics

PMan_003a

Output A is only active, when input E1 is active and input E2 is not active (range between the dotted lines). The internal processing in the Master Generator inverts the value of E2 before it is output (ie sees it as active).

3.3.2.2. Example of Edge Triggering

Edge triggering can only be used on channels A1 to P8. Since the process is dynamic and lasts only two bus cycles, it is necessary to select an output channel capable of processing impulses, eg channels with toggle switch function, timer function or master function.

A push button function can also be generated with this setup, but it should be noted that in this case the output will only be active for one cycle.

Example of a logic setup:

Output Input 1 Function Input 2

A1 E1 AND /E2

Time characteristics

Two conditions must be fulfilled (AND): E1 must be active and E2 must trigger on leading edge. This only takes place at t1 (the dotted line to the left). If the signal on E1 goes Off (dotted line to the right), output A will also be reset.

It is assumed that the channel set as output A is configured for a “toggle switch function”, for example. This function only needs one impulse to execute the switching function. A “push button function” would release again immediately.

Dupline offer flags, with which the intermediate results of logic setups can be “stored” in order to be used in other setups.

Characteristics

• The flags are on the channels W1..8, X1..8, Y1..8 and Z1..8.

• The flags are initialized for zero upon voltage application at the Master Generator.

• The flags are not stored upon voltage failure at the Master Generator.

• Flags basically operate in the same way as the “Push button function”, ie the value of the flags changes immediately with the result of the logic setup. Only edge triggering is not possible with flags.

Application

If a channel is to be related to more than two other channels, flags help to organize the setup. The following example illustrates how channels A1, A2 and A3 are organized and assigned to B1:

Output Input 1 Function Input 2

W1 A1 AND A2

B1 W1 AND A3

In most objects in the matrix, eg the decentral roller blind Up-Down function, flags can be used in stead of channels. In this way, it is possible to have priority control functions, which are related to several channel statuses.

Note: Flags used in this way may only be used once in the logic function.

3.3.4. Internal processing of the logic setups

The Master Generator processes the setups from block 1 to block 8, and within each block from top to bottom.

3.4. Notes and Documentation

For later documentation of the logic setups, it is useful to add comments in the field “Notes”. When the logic setups are later printed out, the notes appear next to the individual rows so that each individual function is commented on.

4. GSM Modem functions (only valid for G38001015)

4.1. SMS Setup

The G38001015 Master Generator has a built-in GSM Modem which enables Monitoring and control of Dupline signals via SMS messages to/from mobile GSM telephones. There are 3 different ways to use SMS messaging:

• The Master Generator can be programmed to send out event-based SMS messages. The event can be a channel switching ON or OFF, or it can be an analog signal crossing a set-point.

• Requests for status of digital or analog data can be sent and answered via SMS messages

• Status of digital channels can be controlled by sending commands via SMS messages

In order to make use of the GSM modem, the following is required:

• A SIM-card with the pin-code 9090 needs to be inserted into the slot in the front of G38001015. The pincode can be changed, by inserting the SIM-card in a mobile phone and making use of the setting possi bilities in the mobile phone. The SIM-card must be a 3V type.

• A GSM antenna needs to be connected to the FME connector on G38001015. If the unit is installed in a metal enclosure, the antenna must be installed outside the enclosure and connected to the Master Generator via a cable (an antenna of this type is available, with type number ANT1).

An LED in the front of G38001015 indicates the status of the GSM modem. By emitting different blink patterns, the LED indicates "connecting", "SIMcard missing", "No network found", "No response from modem", "SMS sent" and "SMS received". See appendix for further information about the LED indications.

In order to set up the basic SMS functions, select "SMS Setup" in the Edit menu.

Parameters

Parameter Description

Dial Out Phone-Numbers

Up to 4 telephone numbers where the SMS messages shall be sent to can be entered. The country code must be included in the numbers (e.g. +4520213324). It can be selected if an event-based SMS message shall be sent out to all the telephone numbers on the list simultaneously, or if it shall be sent to the telephone numbers one by one, until an acknowledge is received. The acknowledge is done by sending either a request or just an empty SMS message to the Generator.

4.2 Event-based SMS messages

Parameter Description

Dial Out Phone

Numbers Up to 4 telephone numbers to which the SMS messages shall be sent can be

entered. The country code must be included in the numbers (e.g. +4520213324). It can be selected if an event-based SMS message shall be sent out to all the telephone numbers on the list simultaneously, or if it shall be sent to the telephone numbers one by one, until an acknowledgement is received. Acknowledgement is performed by sending either a request or just an empty SMS message to the Generator.

Max. User Response time Only valid when "one by one to acknowledge" is selected. Here, the maximum

time the Generator shall wait for a response from a called number is entered. Otherwise the next number will be called.

Acknowledge: Either a request, a command, or an empty SMS (password must be included, if user password is selected).

Message Identifying

text Optional SMS identifier text, that will be included in the SMS messages sent by

the Generator.

Erase SMS on SImcard during Power-Up Check this box to erase "old" unread SMS messages on the SimCard, during

System power-Up. This is to prevent out-dated messages from interfering.

Check Dial-in Numbers Check this box to activate the Dial-In number protection. Any received SMS-

message, contains the original phone-number. This number must exist in the Dial-In numbers list, before any command is accepted by the Master Generator, when this option is selected.

Allowed Dial-in Numbers Enter the phone numbers, which are allowed to send control and read com-

mands to the Generator. The country code must be included in the numbers (e.g. +4520213324).

Use Password Check this box to activate the Password-protection. Any received SMS-mes-

sage, will then be checked for the correct password, before any command is accepted by the Mastergenerator.

Dial-in Password Type in a password with 4 characters, to be used in case "Use Password" is

selected.

If more dial-out phone numbers have been defined, an acknowledgement can be sent to the Generator by sending an empty SMS message back. The Generator will then stop sending messages to the following phone numbers.

SMS messages for AnaLink channels contain the actual AnaLink value.

Commands for control or triggering of channel functions can be sent to the Generator vi messages. Also, it is possible to send an SMS to the Generator with request for channel status. The Generator will then answer by sending back an SMS with the requested data. The format of the SMS commands and requests are shown in the example below:

NB: When using controlling commands on a channel, which is also configured to send a message when changing status, the message will also be sent to the GSM phone. Not all channel types can be controlled.

With passport option

Controlling command Example

Password, Channel, argument 1234,F4,on

1234,f4,on 1234,Alarm reset,on

Request Command Example

Password, Channel,? 1234.F3? (alt: 1234,F3?)

1234,Siren,?

With passport option

Controlling command Example

Channel, argument F4,on

Alarm reset,on

Request Command Example

Channel,? F3? (alt: F3?)

Siren,?

If the "SMS by ON" box is checked, the Generator will send an SMS with the time and date, the identifying text, the description text for the channel and the status, whenever E1 becomes active. The recipient of the SMS will see the following message in the display of the GSM phone:

4.3. SMS Control commands and Requests for Dupline data

G 3800 X015 Configuration Software October 2002G 3800 X015 Configuration Software October 2002

As it can be seen, it is possible to use either the channel reference directly (eg F4) or to use the descriptive text defined for that channel.

The only channel types whose outputs are actually controlled directly ON or OFF by the SMS command are the Toggle and Realtime channels. For Push button, Timer, Master, Roller Blind, Alarm Reset and Acknowledge channels, an SMS ON-command will initiate a pulse on the channel and thereby be able to trigger a function (eg a Master function or logic function). In this way, it is avoided that non-resettable channel activations appear. An SMS OFF-command to these channels may not ensure that the channel output is turned off, since the output of the channel is also controlled by transmission on the channel. All other channel types cannot be controlled via SMS.

5. Radio Modem driver

5.1. General

The Master Generator has a built-in driver for control of an external Radio Modem, which can be used to create wireless links where no cable is available in parts of an installation. One Master Generator must be defined as the central MGEN and up to 32 Master Generators can be defined as remote MGEN’s. The central MGEN is continuously polling and updating the Dupline data from all remote MGEN’s via the radio modem network, and in this way it makes the entire system operate as one big Dupline network. Apart from increased reaction time (depending on the number of remote MGEN’s), the system will operate as if it was one Master Generator connected to all the I/O-modules with cable. The Master Generator supports the Radio Modem type 2ASxE and all 3AS types from the Finnish manufacturer SATEL (www.satel.fi). These are not supplied by Carlo Gavazzi, but are available with local support worldwide. Find below an application diagram for the Radio Modem option. Note: Analink modules cannot be used with Radio Modems.

The Radio Modem must be connected to the COM2 of the Master Generator. For serial cable pin connections, please refer to the Master Generator datasheet. The baud rate selected for COM2 must correspond to the baudrate used by the radio modems and the other master generators in the network. The central MGEN must be defined for "Radio Modem central" function for COM2, while the remote MGEN’s must be defined as "Radio modem substation". The central MGEN can be configured for the usual intelligent functions, and it can also be connected via COM1 or the RS485 port to a PLC or PC. The remote MGEN’s, however, cannot be configured for any intelligent function. They will simply operate as Radio Modem interfaces. The system can handle all types of digital, analog (incl. multiplexed) and counter values, except for Analink values. The configuration of the Radio Modem function is performed in the menu "Edit" under "Communication setup".

Parameter: Radio Modem Central

Parameter Description

Modem turn-around time Defines the time delay the Master Generator uses when changing between

receiving and transmitting. This can be used to adapt to individual radio modem types, which may have different requirements for this parameter. The default value of 100 ms will work in most cases.

Substation max. response time Defines the time the central master generator will wait for an answer from a sub-

station. If the master generator does not receive an answer within this time it continues to the next substation. The default time is 1 s, which is fine for most applications, but longer time may be needed if repeater stations are used on the radio modems.

No. of substations Defines the number of substations connected via radio modem to the central

master generator. Important Note: The master generators configured as "Radio modem substation" must be given the ID numbers from 1 and onwards. Example: When "No of substations" are set to 3, then the 3 master generators configured as "radio modem substation" must be given the ID numbers 1, 2 and 3 respectively.

Select groups for exchange of Mux analog If multiplexed analog I/O’s are used in the radio modem system, then it is neces-

sary to define which "channel group pairs" are used for this purpose. This is simply done by selecting the relevant check boxes. It is only possible upon prior setup of Multiplex-count under the menu Counters and Mux Analog Setup.

Parameter: Radio Modem Substation

Parameter Description

Clear data upon loss of radio communication Per default, the substations maintain the last received Dupline output data no

matter how long time has passed since the last telegram was received from the central master generator. If "Clear data upon loss of radio communication" is checked, then the output data will be cleared when the time-out defined in "Time to Data-clear" has run out.

Time to Data-clear Defines the time-out when "Clear data upon loss of radio modem communica-

tion" is selected.
