1. General Introduction

This manual is intended to be used by installers
and describes functions and parameters of the
device VM_IPxxAxxKNX and how is possible to
change settings and congurations using ETS
software tool.

2. Product and functional overview

VM_IPxxAxxKNX module is designed to be
installed in Home and Building installations (i.e.
oces, hotels, private houses, etc...).
The module includes ve capacitive touch
buttons.

The capacitive buttons can be used to on/o
commands, dimming, shutter control, scene
recall and control, sequences of 3 objects.

The VM_IPxxAxxKNX can manage one zone
thermoregulation with its temperature probe
and/or with one KNX temperature probe (with
On/O threshold) or one thermostats to control
heating and cooling equipments, valves, 2 and 4
pipes fan coils; etc..

The VM_IPxxAxxKNX can be also used as
Control Panel.

Capacitive buttons main functions:

• 1 bit commands: load activation /
deactivation commands (ON/OFF/TOGGLE) with
short press or with dierentiation of long and
short press

• 1 byte commands (unsigned 0-255 or HVAC commands or
value % commands).

• Sending of long action telegrams on the same address of
short action or on a dierent group address

• Cyclic sending

• Sequences (3 commands mixing 1bit/1byte objects) with
dierent group addresses

• Edges for 1 bit / 1 Byte / sequences

• Dimmer management (with single or double push-button)

• Blind / Roller Shutter management (with single or double
push-button)

• Scene management

• Thermostat management

Device congured as Temperature sensor - main functions:

• 2 dierent temperature thresholds to trigger 1 bit telegrams
alarm/warning

• Enable / disable of alarm / warnings via 1 bit object

Congured as Thermostat - main functions:

• Dierent control algorithms: 2 point on/o; PWM;
Continuous Control / Fan Coil Control

• Dierent setting modes: via HVAC automatic / via HVAC
Manual / via Setpoint

• Window contact function

• Additional external temperature sensors (optional)

Congured as Control Panel Main function

• Display the actual temperature or actual setpoint

• Permit to control a remote KNX thermostat

• Additional external temperature sensors (optional)

Through this parameter is possible to set the delay of tran­smission of telegrams after a power on by selecting the time
by which the device is allowed to send telegrams.
In large systems after a power failure or shutdown this delay
avoids to generate excessive trac on the bus, causing slow
performance or a transmission block.
If there are dierent devices requiring sending telegrams on
the bus after a reset, these delays must be programmed to
prevent trac congestion during the initialization phase.
The input detection and the values of objects are updated at
the end of the transmission delay time
At the end of ETS programming the device behaves like after

a power on.

Temperature Sensor”: measures and sends temperature on
the bus. See par. 6
“Thermostat”: controls dierent types of actuators regulating
heating and cooling. See par. 7
“Control Panel”: permit to control a remote KNX thermostat.
See Par. 21

With this parameter, during the ETS conguration, you can
set the brightness of backlight of the button when value is
OFF

6. Activation on press / edge

The right button of the glass room temperature
controller can be congured to perform the “fun­ction mode” or “nothing”

For each of the two button, present on the device, the se­lections are made through a conguration page.

Every single button can be congured to perform one of the
following functions:

• Nothing

• Activation on press

• Activation on short and long press

• Dimming

• Shutter and blinds

• Scene

• Command in sequence (on short and long press)

• Command in sequence (toggle mode)

The “Activation on edge “ allows you to congure
the sending of telegrams when the button is pres­sed or released
You can set to send a telegram with dierent va­lues associated with dierent edges, or decide to
send commands only one of the two edges

With the “Activation of the press” selection device
can also be congured to send periodic messages
with repetition period.
