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.

• Function: Monostable

• Application: Connection of push-button switches and contacts for load switching

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

Off time Enter the time (0 s to 99 h, 59 min, 59 s) for which the channel should be activat-

• Function: Timer or Recycler

• Application: Switching with on- or off-delay or recycler

• Activation by signal or impulse

• Activation by additional channel or flag

• Select with mouse “Timer” or short-cut key “T”

t3t4t

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.

Recycler

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.

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

Push button

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.
