2 Operation

Each channel can be switched on and off independently of all parameters using the buttons on the device. A status LED displays the current switching status.

All bus telegrams are ignored with manual operation switched on (manual button) and the channels are to be operated exclusively via the buttons.

 Once the bus voltage has been connected or after a bus reset, it might take a few seconds until the

relays switch.

4.3 Description of communication objects

4.3.1 Channel-related objects

Object 0 Switch object, threshold as a percentage, threshold 0..255, threshold EIS 5 (DPT 9.xxx), threshold 0..65535

Input object: this object activates the set channel function (see parameter: Channel function).

The set channel function can either be activated via 1-bit telegram or by exceeding a threshold (8- or 16-bit telegram).

function via

Exceeding the threshold

Object 1: Logic input in AND gate, in OR gate, in XOR gate

Only available if link is activated (Configuration options parameter page). Forms a logical link together with the input object to activate the channel function.

Object 2: Block

Blocks the channel function. Responses to setting and cancelling the block can be configured if the block function has been activated (Configuration options parameter page).

Object 3: Call up/save scene

Only available if the scene function has been activated (Configuration options parameter page).

This object can be used to save and subsequently call up scenes. Saving stores the channel status. It does not matter how this status is produced (whether via switch commands, central objects or the buttons on the device). The saved status is restored when it is called up.

All scene numbers from 1 to 64 are supported. Each channel can participate in up to 8 scenes.

Object 4: Block scenes = 1, enable scenes = 1

Blocks the scene function with a 1 or a 0 depending on the configuration. As long as it is blocked, scenes cannot be saved or called up.

Object 5: On/Off feedback

Reports the current channel status. The status can also be inverted depending on configuration.

Object 6: Time to next service, operating hours feedback

Only available if the hour counter function is activated (Configuration options parameter page). Reports, depending on selected Type of hour counter (Hour counter and service parameter page), either the remaining period to the next service or the current status of the hour counter.

Object 7: Service required

Only available if the hour counter function has been activated (Configuration options parameter page) and Type of hour counter = Counter for time to next service.

Reports if the next service is due. 0 = not due 1 = service is due.

Object 8: Switching with priority, reset service, reset operating hours

The function of the object depends on whether or not the hour counter function has been activated (Configuration options parameter page).

All channels can be operated via the bus as well as via the buttons.

The channels can only be operated via the buttons on the device. Bus telegrams will not work.

4.3.2 Common objects

Objects 78, 158: Manual

Puts the corresponding channel block (C1 – C4 or C5 – C8) in manual mode or sends the status of the manual operation.

1 Manual

Objects 79, 159: Collective feedback

Sends the current switching status of all channels in the format DPT 27.001 (DPT_CombinedInfoOnOff).

Object 240: Central permanent ON

Central switch-on function. Enables simultaneous switching on of all channels with one single telegram. 0 = no function 1 = permanent ON

Participation in this object can be set individually for each channel (Configuration options parameter page).

 This object takes top priority.

As long as it is set, the other switch commands will not work on the participating channels.

Object 241: Central permanent OFF

Central switch-off function. Enables simultaneous switching off of all channels with one single telegram. 0 = no function 1 = permanent OFF

Participation in this object can be set individually for each channel (Configuration options parameter page).

 This object has the second highest priority after Central permanent ON. As long as it is

set, the other switch commands will not work on the participating channels.

Object 242: Central switching

Central switch function.

Enables simultaneous switching on or off of all channels with one single telegram. 0 = OFF 1 = ON Participation in this object can be set individually for each channel (Configuration options parameter page). With this object, every participating channel responds exactly as if its input object were receiving a switch command.

Object 243: Call up/save central scenes

Central object for using scenes. This object can be used to save and subsequently call up “scenes”.

See appendix: Scenes

Object 250: Version of bus coupling unit

For diagnostic purposes only.

Sends the bus coupling unit software version after reset or download. Can also be read out directly via the ETS.
