1. Introduction
The G3800 tool has been designed for configuration of the Mastergenerators G3800x015, G3800x016 and G3800x036. All functions in the mastergenerator are represented by graphic symbols, and all function related parameters and comments are setup locally in the PC, and then transferred to the Mastergenerator through RS232. Likewise, data from the Mastergenerator can be uploaded and modified. The Mastergenerator firmware and configuration tool are subject to changes, as new functions are added con­tinuously. Please check the download section at our hompage www.dupline.com for the latest updates.
1.1. Start-up

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 Adresses
For selection of the number of channels desired in the system. The minimum is 16, the maximum is 128 in one Dupline network.
Restore Channel Status upon Power-up
When this function is selected, the Mastergenerator will memorize the channel status on toggle channels and real-time channels in case of a loss of power. The Mastergenerator will then restore the output status on these channels when the power comes back.
The option can not be selected, unless the Generator is connected to the PC.
Channel restore Interval (1/10 Seconds)
In order to reduce the total in-rush current when using the "Restore Channel Status upon Power-up" function, it is possible to define a delay between the activations of outputs. The delay is entered in 1/10 Seconds.
Long Activation time
Set-up the time, for how long a 'Long activation' must last, before an activation takes place. Some channel objects, are able to be activated by a long activation from another address. Eg. B2 is a Masterfunction, which reacts on a long activation of B1. B1 may be a toggle switch for normal on/off. Now by holding the B1 for the Long activation time, the Masterfunction on B2 activates, this gives B1 two functions, and saves one push-button.

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.

2.2.1. Blank / Indicator
Description
The use of blank objects 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) or as status indicator, where the object's output is configured to be a copy of an address from an external Dupline
®
network. In addition, a blank channel can be used as a monostable flag.
Parameters
Configuration window:
• Function: None
• Application: Activation of output channels through master functions, logic setups or status indicator
• Insert with mouse (“Blank Indicator”)
2.2. Standard objects
Parameter Description
Status Indicator When this function is selected, the output of the channel becomes a copy of the
output of the address defined in the field “Net No / Adress”.
2.1. General
The objects are repesentations of the various functions supported by the Mastergenerators.The functions are assigned to Dupline addresses, and the associated parameters determine the specific operation of the channels.

2.2.2. Push-button
Description
The push-button function - the most simple object of the Mastergenerator - 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
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.

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-time period and de-activated after the set Off-time 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
activated
• Function: Timer or Recycler
• Application: Switching with on- or off-delay or recycler
• Activation by signal or impulse
• Activation by additional channel or flag
© 2006 Carlo Gavazzi Industri A/S. All rights reserved 21
Time characteristics
On- Off-delay timer, started by pulse.
The on-delay starts upon deactivation of the input. After elapse of the On-delay, the Output turns on, and the Off-time is started. After elapse of the Off-time the output switches off again.
Repeating the activation-pulse while the output is Off will restart the On-delay.
Repeating the activation-pulse while the output in On will restart the Off-time.
Parameter Description
Enabled by address Entering of an additional adress (A1..P8) or flag 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
Configuration window for recycler
Parameter Description
Timer function To select the Recycler function, select “Recycler”
On-time Entering of the time (1 s to 99 h, 59 min, 69 s) for which the output is On during

Application Example
Ta sk : 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 upon activation of the input. A pulse cycle consists of the On-time and the Off-time. When the input is switched off, the pulse cycle stops.

2.2.5. Real-time clock / Night setback
Description
The real-time clock enables on- and off-switching of loads in relation to the internal time setting of the Mastergenerator. It is possible to pre-define up to four switch-on and switch-off times for each clock on freely optional weekdays and holidays.
The Night setback is merely another icon to destinguish a specific purpose of the real-time function
Parameters
Configuration window of real-time clock function:
• Function: Real-time clock with week and holidays
• Application: Real-time-controlled switching
• Also applicable as switching function
• Holiday setting can be performed centrally for all clocks

2.2.6. Master function
Description
The master function allows simultaneous activation of a arbitrary number of channels. 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 release of the master function, the decentral functions are accepted again.
• When several master functions are activated at the same time, and targets the same addresses, the Master-On command will take precedence over the Master-Off command.
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.
• 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 address behaves like a "Toggle
Switch". The addresses controlled by the Masterfunction, will now be able to be turned on and off, by the same Masterfunction. If the Masterfunction addres is off, the next activation will be an ON-command. The ON-command is sent to all addresses marked with a "1" Addresses in the matrix marked with "0" will turn OFF.
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 for the entry of 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 has a 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.
React upon Long When the address here has been activated for the 'Long Activation time', the activation of switch-function will execute.

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 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. Instead, 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 sensors) 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 “Analink Sensor”

The following table gives an overview of all parameters:
Parameter Description
Function Select the function of an ordinary measuring sensor, light sensor, wind or
temperature 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.
Control output Select this function if the sensor are used to activate a relay on the
same address.
If the analog value is to be read by other Dupline modules or interfaces for, then the contol output should be left un-checked.
Invert limits This option inverts the switching function in relation to the limit values.
Alternative input Select this option to get the Analink value from another adress set by the Net No
/ Adress
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.
Net No / Adress Enter the address, from where the object are to fetch its AnaLink value.
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
for night setback.
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 instead 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: The final measuring value is reached within 30 seconds from power up of the system, or if a new sensor is attached to the Dupline.
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.
t
t
t
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.
t2: 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.
t3: The room temperature reaches the lower limit value again, and the object switches on.
t4: The Disable Address (channel or flag) is activated, for example through a toggle switch.
t5: Although the upper limit value is reached, the object does not switch the output on, because the
Disable address is active.
t6: The temperature sensor switching channel does not switch off, until the Disable address is deactivated.

Application Example
Ta sk : 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 to 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 Mastergenerator generates a short output signal indpendently of the duration of the input signal.
Number of pulses The value entered here (1..25) determines how many impulses the motion
detector may generate within 10 s, before the alarm starts. When an impulse is detected, the Mastergenerator 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.
Use in Intruder alarm Click in the check box in order to include the channel in the intruder alarm
system. When the Intruder alarm is armed, it will accept the information from the Motion detector as well, and cause the alarm to acticvate.
Disable Adress The Disable address, when set and active. disables the signal sent to the
intruderalarm. The disable address then makes it possible, to use the motion detectors in different alarmzones.
Invert PIR input signal If the motion detector has a “normally closed” output, then this check should be
marked, to make the function operate correctly.
2.3.2. Motion detector

Time characteristics
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”.
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. TNis the set off time retriggered by the impulses t
P2
and tP3and therefore only begins after elapse of the third impulse.
The alarm will not start until after the fourth impulse tP4, and only when the time elapses between tP1and t
P4
is less than 10 s.

Application Example
Ta sk : A floor lighting is to switch on automatically for 5 minutes with PIR sensor G 8910 1127 and also
serves 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 Mastergenerator 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 instead of the Push-button function.
G 3800 X036 Operation Manual August 2006
Input-Armouring Delay This time is taken over by the intrusion alarm as a Desarmouring time. When the motion detec-
tor is used in Intruder Alarm and causes an alarm signal, then the alarm siren will go off upon elapse of the Input-Armouring Delay.

This chapter will assist you in using the four different Dupline alarm systems:
1. ISA-alarm (chapter 2.4.3) This general alarm system developed 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
The individual systems are described in detail in the following chapters. The object “Common siren” can be used in all system to allow a centralized alarm.
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 adress. 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
2.4.2.2. Master functions
Alarm objects can generally not be affected by master functions.

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 actuation 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.

G 3800 X036 Operation Manual August 2006
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.
Parameters:
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 re-activated by unclicking the object “Reset”. If “Auto reset” is selected, the system prevents configuration of the “Reset” object.

The above illustration shows the normal sequence and reset of an alarm in the operation mode “Standard”:
t1: When all contacts are in off-position, the Mastergenerator alerts the alarm system automatically upon
loading of the application.
t2: After elapse of on delay Ton, the Mastergenerator activates the alarm siren and causes the output of the
source channel to flash.
t3: By activation of the acknowledgement button, the Mastergenerator switches the alarm siren off
(provided that the siren time has not elapsed) and transfers the alarm source indication into a continuous signal.
t4: By activation of the reset button, the alarm source indication turns off and the system is alert again.
Operation mode “Auto reset”
The above illustration shows the normal sequence and reset of an alarm in the operation mode “Auto reset”:
t1: When all contacts are in off-position, the Mastergenerator alerts the alarm system automatically upon
loading of the application. If a contact is subsequently activated, initially nothing will happen because of entered on delay Ton.
t2: After elapse of on delay Ton, the Mastergenerator activates the alarm siren and causes the output of the
source channel to flash.
t3: After elapse of the siren time TAand reset of the alarm contact, the Mastergenerator switches the alarm
siren off.
t4: Acknowledgement deactivates the Normally open output, and the system at once brings itself in the alert
state again.
t5/t6: As t1/t2.
t7: In spite of the acknowledgement of the alarm, the flashing source indication changes to continuous
operation, because the alarm source is still activated at this point of time. Since the siren time has not yet elapsed, the alarm siren turns off.
t8: Only when the alarm source switches off, is the source indication also reset and the alarm system in the
alert state again.

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 Mastergenerator 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 Mastergenerator 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 “Silent Alarm Signal” is intended for sending an alarm to a monitoring centre, but also suitable for SMS messages.
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.
Silent 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.

t2: 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.
t3: The channel generator activates the alarm signal channel after elapse of the set alarm signal delay TM.
t4: 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 Mastergenerator ignores all alarm sources during the reset delay.
t5: By removing the smoke from the smoke detector, the Passive detector opens again and deactivates the
alarm channel.
t6: After elapse of the reset delay, the system becomes alert again, and the reset output is reset.

2.4.5. 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.
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 Mastergenerator 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: For a minimum alarmsystem to operate correctly, according to Human behavior, the following objects must be included:
a) means to start/stop the alarm, either “Manual armouring”, “Door-lock armouring” or “Code lock
armouring” b) at least one alarm detector. c) the "Silent Alarm Signal"
Either the "Door Lock armouring" or "Code Lock Armouring" may be combined with the "Manual armouring". The Door/Code Lock has a priority over the Manual armouring. The Manual armouring allows alarm zones, whereas the Door/Code Lock always include ALL alarm detectors.
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 “Silent Alarm signal” is primarily intended for signalling an alarm-central, but equally important is, that when this signal has been passed, the alarm-system resets the detected alarms, and the surveillance cycle on the detectors is restarted.
The object Common Siren may be used as well.
The various Intruder alarm objects are selected under “Channel function”:
Passive detector: This object makes it possible to control windows, doors, etc. with Passive
detector. 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
detector. When the contact is activated and a “0”-Signal consequently transmitted on the Dupline bus, an alarm is started.
Manual The Manual armouring operates like a toggleswitch, and is used to start and armouring: stop the Intruder alarm system.
The Manual armouring allows the alarm detectors to react upon their respective disable addresses, whereby more alarm zones can be created.

G 3800 X036 Operation Manual August 2006
Door lock The Door Lock armoring operates like a push-button, and when armouring: activated the Intruder alarm system is started.
The Door Lock armouring must be kept active as long as the alarm system should be running. The Door Lock armouring prevents the alarm-detectors to react upon their respective disable addresses. The Door Lock armouring thus activates all alarm zones.
Code lock The Code Lock armouring operates like a toggle switch and is an armouring: an alternative way to start and stop the Intruder alarm system.
The Code Lock armouring also prevents the alarm-detectors to react upon their respective disable addresses. Like the Door Lock, the Code Lock activates all alarm zones.
Note: Either Code Lock or Door Lock may be used at one time.
Alarm siren: The Alarm siren is used for the local audio alarmsignal. The
Alarm sirene, also supports 'Visual' effects, as a selection of addresses may be set up to flash while the siren is on. This feature will further stress any intruder
Silent Alarm signal: The “Silent Alarm signal” is primarily intended for sending an
alarm signal to a security centre. Equally important is, that when this signal has been sent, the Intruder alarm system resets the detected alarms, and the surveillance cycle on the detectors is restarted.
Warning signal: This is an output for a local buzzer or lamp. When the alarm is armed,
the Warning Signal will start pulsating slowly and increase pulse­speed until alarm is armed. For this function to operate properly, the armouring delay should be set to a minimum of 10 seconds.
Toggle switch Has an option for sending signals to Intruder alarm. See the chapter func-
tion: 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.

Armouring delay Determines the delay, from start of the alarm, until the the alarm
surveillance becomes active. The delay is used to cope with the situation where a detector is activated, while the alarm is switched on.
Eg. The Alarm switch for start and stop is located in the hall, and the frontdoor is equipped with an alarmdetector. Time should be set long enough, that a person may start the alarm and leave through the door, without causing an alarm.
De-armouring delay Determines how many seconds may pass from an alarm has occured
untill the alarm siren is activated. The time is used to cope with the situation, where the rightfull owner actually causes an alarm, by entry.
Eg. The Alarm switch for start and stop is located in the hall, and the frontdoor is equipped with an alarm detector. Time should be set long enough, that a person may open the door, walk across the hall, and stop the alarm.
Alarm siren
Siren time Enter for how long time the alarm output is to remain activated when an
alarm occurs. It is limited from 0 and 60 min.
The entered value is automatically adopted by the Common siren.

Enable Simulated Select this option to make an automatic Playback of the adresses selected for occupation when Record/Playback. Alarm is armed
Selection of Record/Playback
Recording
The selection of Record/Playback is available on most of the objects. The recording only takes place when the Intruder-alarm is in active. When selected for Record / Playback, the object’s output status will be record­ed at every 3 minutes intervals. The recording operates like an endless ‘tape­loop’ running over one week. The recorded data are stored permanently once every 24 hours just before mid­night, to continuously renew the record-history.
Playback takes place, when the Intruder-alarm is started and the "Enable Simulated occupation" is selected. The recorded data are used to activate the objects in the same sequence as recorded.
If no records have been made for a certain time period while playback, the objects will keep their last set on/off status.
The Playback activation of the objects, is a set – reset operation sent to the objects, which is similar to a normal Manual activation.
When turning off the intruder alarm, the last set status will still remain on the objects.

Ta sk : 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 turned on and off by 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.
t6: After elapse of the alarm signal delay TMset at the object “Alarm signal”, the channel is briefly activated. At the same time, the alarm contact is continuously switched off and the Manual Armouring output continu-
ously switched on.
t7: Activation of the Manual Armouring will acknowledge the alarm, and the Manual Armouring output will be reset.
t8: Activating the Manual Armouring once more will bring the system back into the alert state - after the armour­ing delay TFV.

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 water 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 Mastergenerator 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 Mastergenerator 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 the 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 “Silent Alarm Signal” is intended for sending an alarm to a monitoring centre. Also suitable for sending an SMS.
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 water 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.
Silent 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.

The above illustration shows the normal sequence and reset of an alarm:
t1: When power supply is connected, the system becomes alert after elapse of the set reset delay TR,
indicated by reset of the reset output.
t2: An alarm contact is activated. This starts the switch on delay TEV, which can run for 3 - 11 s depending
on the number of channels.
t3: Upon elapse of the switch-on delay TEV, the Mastergenerator causes the output of the activated contact
as well as the alarm siren to flash. The alarm siren is then switched on for approx. 3 s and switched off for approx. 57 s.
t4: Upon elapse of the alarm signal delay TM, the alarm signal is briefly activated.
t5: Activation of the reset button starts the reset delay and the siren is switched off.

Application Example
Ta sk : In a residential building, eight rooms are to be protected against water damage. When an alarm
occurs, a siren switches on and the house owner is informed by means of an SMS-message. The room in question should be recognizable on a panel.
Solution: The alarm channels of the water stop sensors are assigned to channels G1 to G8. The alarm
source is indicated on a panel, whose LED is activated by a mimic display. The addresses correspond to those of the alarm contacts. The alarm is sounded through a horn which is activated through address D2 of a relay module. The alarm is reset again by a push-button on address H1.

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”)
Parameter Description
Common siren
Channel function Here you select one or several alarm systems whose alarm will also activate this
siren.
Siren time Here you enter the max. time for which this siren is to remain activated. The
value can lie between 0 min and 60 min. (The Intruder alarm and ISA alarm allows infinite times, entered by the - (minus) key.
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 Mastergenerator also resets the signal of the common siren.
Parameters:
Application Example
Ta sk : In a commercial building, different alarm systems (smoke, water, ISA and Intruder) are to activate
the siren mounted outside.
Solution: The alarm systems described in the previous examples are used. The relay for the outdoor siren
is configured for address I1. The siren time of each connected alarm is configured.

2.5. Roller blind control
2.5.1. Decentralized roller blind up-down function
• 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.
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 Mastergenerator 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 Mastergenerator 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.
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 instead of causing up- or down-movement 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.

G 3800 X036 Operation Manual August 2006
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

t5: By activation of the button for the down-direction, the motor is stopped and the Reverse delay TUstarts.
t6: After elapse of the Reverse delay TU, the motor rolls in the down-direction.
t7: After elapse of the roll time TL, the motor is stopped. In order to reach the end of the roll time, the

Ta sk : 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.

2.5.2. Roller blind master
• 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”)
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 Mastergenerator 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 Up­channel 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 Mastergenerator only executes the command with the highest address number, eg H3/H4 before F7/F8.

G 3800 X036 Operation Manual August 2006
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.

The above illustration is based on a roller blind master application with sequential operation mode and a Reverse Up time TR.
t1: The button for the up-direction is activated. The up-channel of the first motor is activated.
t2: In the operation mode “Sequential”, the Mastergenerator switches the up-channel of the second motor
on after a time delay of 1 s.
t3: Before elapse fo the master roll time, the Down-button is actuated whereby the roller blind is forced in
the opposite direction. The motors stop one by one, and the Reverse delay TUset for the decentral roller blind object begins.
t4: After elapse of the Reverse delay TU, the first motor starts in the opposite direction, while the second
motor is activated after a delay of 1 s.
t5: After the end of the roll time TL, the Reverse delay TUis postponed due to the subsequent Reversing.
t6: Based on the set Reverse Up time TR, the roller blinds again run in the opposite direction in order to tilt
the blinds.
t7: After elapse of the Reverse Up time TR, the motor of the first roller blind stops

2.6. Counter and Multiplexer
2.6.1. Multiplexer (transmission of counter values)
• Function: Control and transfer of counter values
• Application: Registration of energy and operating hours etc.
• Setup through the menu Edit, Counter and Mux Analog Setup
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 is 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 Mastergenerator.
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 Mastergenerator. 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 Web-Server).
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)”.

0..99 B..C
0..9999 B..D
0..999999 B..E
0..99999999 B..F
No. of Counter values Defines how many Counter values are to be transmitted on the Dupline net-
work.The default value is set to 128 counter values, however the real no of values should be entered, to generally increase the update-time.
Disable Reset by Dupline Select this option, to prevent accidential reset of the countermodules.

Energy Kwh meters supply one G4420 7401 with the corresponding count-pulses. The Mastergenerator is configured to 8 digits, occupying addresses from B1 to F8.
Through the DDE server software, an application is built in a spread-sheet software, where the individual counters may be reset, when new guests arrive.
The voltage of the individual power outlet is turned on from the PC through a relay module. Free channels are used for this purpose.
The applied Mastergenerator can, of course, also perform additional automation functions.

2.6.2. Multiplexer (transmission of analog values)
Description
The (original) multiplexing of analog values makes it possible to read and write Dupline multiplex analog values. As opposed to AnaLink transmission with analog sensors, two addresses are needed instead 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 Mastergenerator. 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 Mastergenerator.
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.
G 3800 X036 Operation Manual August 2006
80 © 2006 Carlo Gavazzi Industri A/S. All rights reserved
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 Mastergenerator 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 Mastergenerator then waits for the corresponding number of cycles between the scans.
Parameters
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 Web Server).
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).

G 3800 X036 Operation Manual August 2006
The External Reference list defines for the Mastergenerator, which addresses in the overall system shall act as inputs to the function assigned to the address the list belongs to (in the above example the list belongs to address C1). The input status of all the addresses on the list are OR’ed together with the input status of the address the list belongs to. In other words, if one of the addresses on the list or the local address has an active input, the Mastergenerator will regard the local address as having an active input when calculating the output status for the address.
Example 1: If in the example above, address C1 is defined as "toggle switch" for light control, then the output C1 can now be toggled in 3 different ways:
1. The usual way by activating a pushbutton with address C1 in the "local" Dupline network
2. By activating the D6 pushbutton in the Dupline network with ID no 3
3. By activating the B7 pushbutton in the Dupline network with ID no 5.
Example 2: In a 3-floor building, there is a Dupline network on each floor controlling the local lights. It is desired to have a pushbutton on the lower floor for turning OFF all the lights in the building. The Dupline network on the lower floor has ID no 1, the middle floor network has ID no 2, and the network on the top floor has been defined as RS485 Master (see sec. 4.5) and therefore has ID no 32.
Parameter Description
Net No / Channel Whenever an external reference needs to be added or removed from the Ext.
Ref. list, the Dupline network ID and the Dupline address needs to be entered here.
2.7 Reference to data from other Dupline networks
2.7.1. General
When several Mastergenerators are linked together in an RS485 network (see section 4.5), it is possible to include signal status from other Dupline networks in the intelligent functions. This can for instance be useful in a big building with several Dupline networks, when all the lights need to be switched off by activation of just one button, or when all the roller blinds need to roll up when the wind sensor connected to the Dupline net­work on the top floor measures a too high wind speed. In practice, there are three ways to make a reference to addresses in other Dupline networks, "External reference", "Read external Input" and "Status Indicator".
2.7.2. External reference
All the objects, except for the "Analog Sensor", have a button, located just below the description field, for selecting "Ext. Ref." When this button, is activated, a list pops up where it is possible to add or remove references to addresses in other Dupline networks. In the example below for address C1, external references are made to address D6 on the Dupline network with ID number 3, and to address B7 on the Dupline network with ID number 5.
G 3800 X036 Operation Manual August 2006
82 © 2006 Carlo Gavazzi Industri A/S. All rights reserved
The all-OFF function can be implemented the following way:
1. In each of the 3 Mastergenerators, a master function is defined on address E2 for turning OFF all lights on the local Dupline network.
2. The all-OFF pushbutton on the lower floor is coded E2 and will therefore turn OFF all lights on the lower floor when activated, as desired.
3. In the Mastergenerator on the middle floor, an External Reference has to be defined for the local Master Function on address E2 in order to enable the all-OFF pushbutton on the lower floor to trigger it. The reference is therefore made to address E2 on the Dupline network with ID no 1.
4. In the Mastergenerator on the top floor, an External Reference has to be defined for the local Master function on address E2 in order to enable the all-OFF pushbutton on the lower floor to trigger it. The reference is therefore made to address E2 on the Dupline network with ID no 1.
5. Activating the E2 pushbutton on the lower floor will now activate not only the local all-OFF Master Function on the lower floor, but also the all-OFF Master Functions on the middle and top floors, and thereby the desired function is achieved.
In the above example, the master function is assigned to address E2 in each Dupline network, but obviously, it is not necessary to use the same address. The addresses can be completely different, if desired.
2.7.3. Read external input
This function is only available for addresses used for Analink signals. The function makes it possible to use the Analink value transmitted on one Dupline network in all the other Dupline networks. If for example the sig­nal from a wind speed sensor is transmitted on the top floor Dupline network, then the "Read External Input" function makes it possible for the Mastergenerators on the lower floors to use the wind speed value for con­trol of the local roller blinds.
Parameter Description
Read External Input If selected, the Mastergenerator reads the Analink value from an external
address.
Net No / Channel Defines the Dupline Network ID no and address from where the Analink value
shall be read.
© 2006 Carlo Gavazzi Industri A/S. All rights reserved 83
G 3800 X036 Operation Manual August 2006
When "Read External Input" is selected for an address configured as Analink, it becomes possible to enter the Dupline ID no. and address from which the Analink shall be read and used as input. In the example above, address D2 has been defined as Analink wind sensor, but because "Read External Input" is selected, the wind speed value does not come from the local Dupline network, but from the Dupline network with ID no 02 address F5. Other functions such as limit value monitoring with Control Output works exactly as if the Analink value came from a local sensor. So even though the Mastergenerators in the RS485 link are using the same input value from the Dupline network with ID 2 address F5, they can operate with different wind speed limits for forcing roller blinds up.
2.7.4. Status Indicator
Whereas "Ext. Ref." and "Read External Input" are referring to inputs from other Dupline networks, the "Status Indicator" refers to an external output
. This means that it is possible to assign the output of a Dupline channel simply to be a copy of an address in another Dupline network. Only addresses defined as blank/indicator. Only addresses defined as blank/indicator channels can be used as Status Indicators (see sec.
2.2.1). The Status Indicator function can eg be used in connection with alarm systems. Each Dupline has it own alarm system, but by using the Status Indicator function it is possible in a Dupline network to read the status of an alarm signal in any other Dupline network.

3. Logic Setup
3.1. Introduction
The preceding chapters have illustrated the simplicity of configuring channels with the pre-defined objects. Praxis, however, is not always so simple. Many functions cannot be implemented by use of the predefined objects.
The Mastergenerator 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.

3.3 Application
3.3.1. Setups and Functions
3.3.1.1. Creating Setups
Navigating
For jumping 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 (Q1 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”.
OR
The output is always “1”, when one or both inputs are “1”.
XOR
The output is “1”, when only one of the two inputs is “1”.

The following tables summarize the results of the logic setups:
AND
E1 E2 A
000 100 010 111
OR
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
t
t
t
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 Mastergenerator 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.

3.3.3. Using the on-board I/Os
The Mastergenerator facilitates 8 on-board I/Os. The 4 Inputs and 4 Outputs are assigned to specific flags, so they can be utilized via the logic functions.
Examples: If it is desired that on-board Output number 1 shall follow the status of channel B5, the following line can be entered: Q5 = B5 and B5
If it is desired that on-board Input number 3 shall be transmitted on Dupline address C4, the following line can be entered: C4 = Q3 and Q3.
Please notice that Firmware version 2,0 and onward implies changes in the flag adresses for the 8 on-board I/Os of the Mastergenerator. In this case the user must manually alter his flag adresses from X, Y to Q:
3.3.4. Internal processing of the logic setups
The Mastergenerator processes the setups from the first expression in block 1 and onwards.
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.
3.4.1. Input definitions
The input definitions are used to document the coding of input modules (transmitters). The documentation cre­ated is a list of assigned names referring to the input-modules and how their respective I/Os are to be addressed.
This information is stored in the Generator along with the configuration, and ensures that all documentation is available.
To create the list
1) Enter a name for the input in the text entry field
2) Click on the Add button, to copy the name onto the list.
3) To assign I/O addresses to the input, mark the input on the list
4) Either click on the buttons I/O1 to I/O 8 to assign the current select­ed channel, as seen in the title-bar (A1), or enter the addresses directly in the I/O 1 ..I/O 8 fields.
To modify an item description in the list
1) Mark the item in the list, and the item name will appear in the text entry field
2) Modify the name, and click Replace Name button.
To remove an item in the list
Mark the item and click on the Remove button.

4. Communication Ports
4.1. General
The Mastergenerator is equipped with 3 serial communication ports, which can be used for configuration, communication with external devices and for networking of Mastergenerators. The two RS232 ports, COM1 and COM2, are accessible via two DB9 connectors in the front of the module, while the RS485 port is accessible through screw terminals. For pin-outs and technical details, please refer to the Mastergenerator datasheet. All three ports can be used simultaneously.
4.2. Protocol
The protocol used for all serial communication between the Mastergenerator and external devices is the Modbus protocol. The format of this protocol can be found on the homepage www.modbus.org. By using this protocol, the following functions can be performed:
• Read the digital output status of Dupline addresses (status of receivers)
• Read the digital input status of Dupline addresses (status of transmitters)
• Read the values from AnaLink transmitters (analog)
• Read the values from Counter Modules (type G44207401)
• Read the values from Multiplexed Analog Transmitters
• Read the pulse counts on Dupline addresses since last Reset command (note 1)
• Write data to activate digital Dupline addresses (writing a "1" to an address creates the same result as having an active transmitter on that address).
• Write data to force Dupline addresses ON (writing a "1" to an address will force the receiver outputs with this address ON, irrespective of the function assigned to that address)
• Write data to be output as multiplexed analog values
• Write data to change the set-points of Analink addresses (can eg be used to change the set-point of a temperature control function)
• Write data to change switching times on Dupline addresses configured for real-time control
• Issue commands for Reset and Freeze of pulse counts on specific Dupline addresses (Note 1)
Note 1: A pulse counter that increments on OFF-to-ON transitions is automatically assigned to each Dupline address. The counting is performed on BCD format in the range 0..9999 (if the count exceeds 9999 it will roll­over to 0). A "freeze" command must be issued prior to reading a pulse count from a Dupline address. The "frozen" value can then be read while the counting continues in the background. Issuing a reset command for an address resets the counter for that address.
A Modbus memory map defining which Modbus memory locations are used for the different types of data can be found in Appendix C
of this manual. The signal status of a given Dupline address can be read in any location related to that address in the Modbus memory map, but obviously, meaningful data is only achieved from the memory location reflecting the actual use of that address. If eg an AnaLink temperature sensor is connected to channel B5, it does not make sense to read the digital
status of address B5, but it is possible.
In order to provide easy access to Dupline data from a PC, Carlo Gavazzi offer the Dupline data access package (DUPDATACC), consisting of a DDE-driver and an ActiveX-server. The DDE-driver offers the possibility to copy and paste Dupline data directly into EXCEL spreadsheets and other Windows applications, while the ActiveX driver makes it easy for Visual Basic, C++ and Delphi programmers to access Dupline data.
4.3. COM1
The RS232-port COM1 is typically used for download/upload of Mastergenerator configuration files, because it has a fixed baud-rate of 115 kBaud just like the configuration software. But it can also be used for communication with external devices such as PC’s, PLC’s and Touch Screens.
4.4. COM2
The RS232-port COM2 can be used for Dupline-Online operation. When Logged Dupline data is to be transmitted via Internet to the central Dupline-Online server, COM2 is used to send the Log Records to the external RS232-to-Ethernet converter ETHCONV1, which then takes care of the Internet transmission. COM2 has an adjustable baudrate in the range 2400 .. 115200 (note: for Dupline-Online operation the baudrate must be set to 9600). COM2 can also be used for communication with external devices such as PC’s, PLC’s and
© 2006 Carlo Gavazzi Industri A/S. All rights reserved 89
G 3800 X036 Operation Manual August 2006
Touch Screens, and for download/upload of Mastergenerator configuration files (requires a baud rate setting of 115200). There is also an option to use COM2 as the serial interface to Radio Modems (please refer to chapter 7 for more details on Radio Modem operation).
4.5. RS485
The RS485 port opens up the possibility to link up to 32 Mastergenerators together via an RS485 two-wire bus as shown below. One of the units, configured as RS485 master (#32), coordinates an automatic exchange of data between Mastergenerators, so that each unit is continuously updated with the status of every Dupline address in the entire system. Each Mastergenerator controls its own section with 128 addresses, but can be configured to be influenced by signals from other networks (see sec. 2.2). If for example the Dupline network on the top floor of a building has a wind speed sensor connected to it, then the Mastergenerators in all the other Dupline networks will be able to read and use the wind speed in the local roller blind control function. Other examples is the possibility to switch of all lights in the entire building by activating one pushbutton at the ground floor, and the option to collect all alarm signals in one Mastergenerator.
G 3800 X036 Operation Manual August 2006

This system topology ensures a safe system operation, because in case of a short circuit or interruption of the RS485 network between Mastergenerators, the control functions on each Dupline network will continue to operate, but of course only based on the local signals. Also, if one of the Dupline networks is short circuited or interrupted, the other Dupline networks will continue to operate. In these systems, it is common to have a PC with SCADA software for monitoring the entire system and for changing control parameters like temperature set-points and switching times. In large Dupline systems, this is achieved by connecting the COM-port of the PC to one of the RS232 ports of the Mastergenerator operating as RS485 master. This enables the PC to read and control data in all the Dupline networks, and to read or write a configuration file to any Mastergenerator using the Modbus protocol. It is also possible to use a PLC or PC as master in the RS485 network. In this case there is no automatic data exchange between the Dupline networks, but the reaction time on the RS485 network is slightly faster.
For RS485 installation guidelines, please refer to Appendix B
of this manual.

G 3800 X036 Operation Manual August 2006
Parameter Description
ID Number The ID number can be selected in the range 1..32, and must be used when
accessing Dupline data via the Modbus protocol. When several Mastergenerators are networked via RS 485, each unit must have a unique ID number.
RS485 Baudrate Defines the baudrate used for the RS485 communication. All units in the RS485
network must be configured for the same baudrate.
Set as RS485 Master In the network solution described in sec. 4.5, one (and only one) of the
Mastergenerators must be set to operate as RS485 master to control the auto­matic data exchange. If “Set as RS485 Master” is selected, then the module will automatically get ID number 32 assigned to it.
Clear slave data upon Defines how the Mastergenerator will operate if it loses the RS485 communica­loss of communication tion. If “Clear slave data upon loss of communication” is selected, then the
Mastergenerator will disregard the data from other Dupline networks in its con­trol function. If not selected, the Mastergenerator will use the last received valid data from the other Dupline networks.
No. of slaves Defines how many slaves are present in the RS485 network. This only needs to
be defined if the Mastergenerator is set as “RS485 Master”. Please note that the slaves must be assigned ID numbers from 1 and onwards. If for example there are 4 Mastergenerators in the RS485 network operating as slaves, then they must be assigned ID numbers 1,2,3 and 4 respectively.
Clear Data after This input is only relevant if “Clear slave data upon loss of communication” is
selected. It defines how long time the Mastergenerator shall wait to receive valid data from other Dupline networks before it starts disregarding the last received valid data.

5. GSM Modem functions
5.1. SMS Setup
The G38001036 Mastergenerator has a built-in GSM Modem, which can be used in two different Operation Modes. In the mode "Send SMS to Dupline Online", the Mastergenerator sends the Log Records to a Central Server using the GSM network. In this operation mode, the Mastergenerator can also receive control com­mands from the Central Server via SMS messages. The alternative operation mode is to use the GSM Modem for monitoring and control of Dupline signals via SMS messages to/from mobile telephones (identical with the standard ope ration mode in G3800X036).
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 G38001036. The pin­code can be changed, by inserting the SIM-card in a mobile phone and making use of the setting possibilities in the mobile phone. The SIM-card must be a 3V type.
• A GSM antenna needs to be connected to the FME connector on G38001036. If the unit is installed in a metal enclosure, the antenna must be installed outside the enclosure and connected to the Mastergenerator via a cable (an antenna of this type is available, with type number ANT1).
A LED in the front of G38001016 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 A for further information about the LED indications.
In order to set up the basic SMS functions, select "SMS Setup" in the Edit menu.

5.2. Event-based SMS messages
If the mode "SMS to Dupline Online" is not selected, the GSM modem is used for control and monitoring from mobile phones. There are 3 different ways to use the SMS messaging:
If more dial-out phone numbers have been defined, an acknowledgement can be sent to the Mastergenerator by sending an empty SMS message back. The Mastergenerator will then stop sending messages to the following phone numbers.
SMS messages for AnaLink channels contain the actual AnaLink value.
If the "SMS by ON" box is checked, the Mastergenerator 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:

G 3800 X036 Operation Manual August 2006
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.
Note: The selected country language for on and off can be used as commands. However, we recommend the user to use the English terms “ON” and “OFF”.
5.3. SMS Control commands and Requests for Dupline data
Commands for control or triggering of channel functions can be sent to the Mastergenerator via messages. Also, it is possible to send an SMS to the Mastergenerator with request for channel status. The Mastergenerator will then answer by sending back an SMS with the requested data. The format of the SMS commands and requests is shown in the example below:
With password option
Controlling command Example
Password, Channel, argument 1234,F4,on
1234,F4,on 1234,Alarm reset,on
Request Command Example
Password, Channel,? 1234,F3,?
1234,Siren,?
Without password option
Controlling command Example
Channel, argument F4,on
Alarm reset,on
Request Command Example
Channel,? F3,?
Siren,?
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.

6. Data Logging Functions
6.1. General
The Dupline Mastergenerator can be configured to log Digital signals, Analink signals, Multiplexed analog sig­nals and Counter values. The loggings can either be event or time based. Logged values are always stored in non-volatile memory to enable later retrieval. Simultaneously, at the actual time of logging, the values can be sent to the Central Dupline-Online Database via GSM modem or the Internet. The Dupline-Online WebServer then makes it possible for users with individual passwords to access own real-time and historical Dupline data via the Internet.
6.2. Dupline-Online
Dupline-Online is a new Internet based concept for central and de-central monitoring and control of remote facilities such as water works, power stations, apartment buildings, super markets, gas stations, car wash machines, elevators and unmanned railway stations. As the interface to the physical layer, the Dupline Fieldbus collects and controls all desired field data such as energy, water and gas consumption, alarms, light­ing, pumps, movement detectors, temperature, humidity, pressure, fluid levels etc. The Dupline Mastergenerator can be programmed to log any combination of digital, analogue and counter signals based on events or time and send them to the central Dupline-Online Database via the built-in GSM Modem (option­al) or via the Internet. Users can then access own real-time and historical data on their existing
internet-
connected IT-equipment by entering username and password on the homepage www.dupline-online.com
. Dupline-Online services include alarm buffers with time and date tags on all events, trend curves for analogue signals, histograms with daily energy consumption, export of data to other systems, SMS alarms to mobile phones and buttons for switching signals at the remote site.

G 3800 X036 Operation Manual August 2006
The following steps are required for setting up a Mastergenerator for Dupline-Online operation:
Select the media for transmitting the Log Records to the Central Server (GSM Modem or the Internet)
• Select the desired Dupline addresses for event-based logging and enter text descriptions
• Select the desired Dupline addresses for time-based logging and enter text descriptions, scaling factors, engineering units and logging time intervals
• Download the configuration file to the Mastergenerator
• Generate a special Dupline-Online configuration file to be exported to the Central Server via the Internet
In the following sections of Chapter 6, it is described how to go through these steps (except for download of the configuration file to the Mastergenerator, which is described in sec. 1.2.1)
6.3. Dupline-Online Transmission Media
6.3.1. Using GSM Modem
The procedure for configuring the Mastergenerator for sending the Log Records to the Central Server via GSM Modem is described in Chapter 5 (GSM Modem Functions).
6.3.2. Using the Internet
In order to use the Internet for sending the Log Records to the Central Server, "COM2 Operation Mode" must be set to "Automatic Data Logging" (see sections 4.4 and 4.6). Also, "COM2 Baud Rate" must be set to 9600. This is the only configuration required in the "Communication Setup" menu in order to set up Dupline-Online operation. In terms of hardware, an external RS232-to-Ethernet converter (item number ETHCONV1) is required. The converter needs to be connected to COM2 of the Mastergenerator by means of the RS232 cable included in the ETHCONV1 package. The connection to the Ethernet is carried out by means of a standard Cat 5 Ethernet cable. In the majority of cases, this cabling is all that needs to be done to bring the converter into operation, because it is pre-configured to send the Log Records to www.Dupline-Online.com and to be installed on a network with a dhcp server, which automatically assigns an IP address to it. If a dhcp server is not available on the network, it is easy, however, to assign a specific IP address to the converter. It is always the Mastergenerator that initiates the communication from inside the local network by opening a TCP/IP socket connection to the Central Server. Because of this, there is usually no need to change any setup in the firewall in the network or in the converter. This is only necessary in those cases, where the firewall is fil­tering connections made from inside
of the network, and this is quite unusual, because then free Internet
access is also inhibited.
6.4. Event-based logging
This is the standard (and only) logging method for Digital signals, but it can also be used for Analink signals. Whenever a Digital Dupline Address, which has been configured for logging, changes status, a Log Record is generated and saved in non-volatile memory. If configured to do so (see section 6.2 and 6.3), the Master ­generator will also send the Log record via GSM or the Internet to the Central Dupline-Online WebServer, where it is saved in a database. The Log Record contains the Address, the new status of the signal (ON or OFF) and time/date/year of the event. Event-based logging of an Analink signal takes place whenever the value crosses the limits defined in the setup of the Analink address. The Log Record contains the Address, the Analink value and time/date/year of the event.
The selection of which signals shall be logged as events is performed under the setup menu for each individual channel.

Log Data to GSM
6.5. Time-based logging
6.5.1. Introduction
This method can be used for Analink signals, Multiplexed analog signals and Counter values. For each of these 3 signal categories, a logging time interval in the range from 5 minutes to 1 month can be defined. The signals within each category are then logged on a continuous basis according to the selected time interval. The Log Record contains the Address, all the logged values within this category and time/date/year of the Log Record.
6.5.2. Time-based logging of Analink channels
As described in sec 6.4, the selection of which Analink channels shall be included in time-based logging is done under the individual channel set-up by choosing the "Log Data to GSM" option. The Analink Log Time Interval must be defined in the menu "Analink Log set-up".
Menu Item: Explanation:
Log interval Defines the time interval between Analink Log Records.
Date Only relevant when Analink signals are logged on a monthly basis.
Defines the day of the month on which the Log Record shall be made.
Hour and Minute: Only relevant when Analink signals are logged on daily basis.
Defines the time of the day on which the Log Record shall be made.
If selected for a digital channel, the Mastergenerator will send a log record to the Dupline-Online Webserver each time this Dupline channel changes status from OFF to ON or ON to OFF. If selected for an Analink channel, the Mastergenerator will send a Log Record each time the Analink value crosses one of the user-defined limits, and whenever the log interval time selected in the menu “Analink Log Set-up” (see section 6.5) has passed since last time-based log. Note
: The menu Item text is dynamic, so if “automatic logging” has been selected for COM2 int he Communication setup­menu, the menu text will be “Log Data to COM2”.

Menu Item: Explanation:
Description This text is used as description for the selected Counter address
when accessing the logged data via Dupline-Online.
Factor Defines the ratio of pulses per unit of measure. If eg an Energy-
meter with 640 pulses/kWh is used, then the figure 640 must be entered to get the correct kWh reading from the Dupline-Online database.
6.5.3. Time-based logging of Counters
The set-up for the logging of Counter values is performed in the menu “Mux Counters Log Set-up”. A table showing the counter addresses available (as defined in the menu “Counter and Mux Analog Setup”) is used for selecting the Counter addresses to be logged, and for metering text descriptions, scaling for these coun­ters and engineering units. Also, the Log Time Interval for Counters is defined in this menu.
A Counter address is selected for logging by double-clicking on it with the mouse. The color of the associat­ed field will then change to Cyan, and this indicates that the parameters entered under "Description", "Factor" and "Unit of measure" will now be assigned to this Counter address. The color of the field turns green when another menu or Counter address is selected, to indicate that the Counter address has now been configured for logging. To change a parameter for a Counter address, click on the associated green field and it will change color to cyan to indicate that the parameters shown belongs to this Counter address and that it is ready for changes.
To disable logging for a Counter, double-click on the associated green field.

6.5.4. Time-based logging of Multiplexed Analog data
The set-up for the logging of Multiplexed Analog data is performed in the menu "Mux Analog Log Set-up". A table showing the Mux Analog addresses available (as defined in the menu "Counter and Mux Analog Setup") is used for selecting the Mux Analog addresses to be logged, and for entering text descriptions, scaling for these analog signals and engineering units. Also, the Log Time Interval for Mux Analog signals is defined in this menu. A Mux Analog address is selected for logging by double-clicking on it with the mouse. The color of the associated field will then change to Cyan, and this indicates that the parameters entered under "Description", "Range lo", "Range Hi" and "Unit of measure" will now be assigned to this Mux Analog address. The color of the field turns green when another menu or Mux Analog address is selected, to indicate that the Mux Analog address has now been configured for logging. To change a parameter for a Mux Analog address, click on the associated green field and it will change color to cyan to indicate that the parameters shown belongs to this Mux Analog address and that it is ready for changes. To disable logging for a Mux Analog address, double-click on the associated green field.
Menu Item: Explanation:
Unit of measure Defines the unit of measure for the Counter. If eg an Energy-
meter with 640 pulses/kWh is used, then the “kWh” must be entered to get the correct reading from the Dupline-online data base.
Log interval Defines the time interval between Counter log Records.
Date Only relevant when a Counter is logged on a monthly basis.
Defines the day of the month the Log Record shall be made.
Hour and Minute Only relevant when an Analink signal is logged on a daily basis.
Defines the time of the day the Log Record shall be made.
