Parameters of the “functions, objects” parameter card

As a prerequisite for the "Switching” function, set the "Function channel” parameter on the "functions, objects” parameter card as specified:

Function channel

Parameter

Settings

Function channel

Switching

Function:

This parameter determines which function is to be assigned to the channel.

Availability:

The "Function channel” parameter is displayed when the following configurations have been made:

  • Parameter "Function channels A + B” on the "device settings” parameter card
    • Setting: “Single

Settings

Evaluation of input

Edge

Short/long key press

Function:

This parameter determines whether the sending of a switching telegram is to be triggered by signal edges or by a short or long press of the push-button at the input.

The following settings are possible:

  • Edge:
    With this setting, the sending of a switching telegram is triggered by a falling and/or rising edge of the signal at the input. The type of reaction at rising and at falling edge can be selected respectively by the parameters "Reaction on rising edge” and "Reaction on falling edge."
  • Short/long key press:
    With this setting, the sending of a switching telegram is triggered by a short or long press of the push-button connected to the input or by an applied voltage. The type of response for a short and a long press of the push-button can be selected by the parameters "Reaction on short key press” and "Reaction on long key press” respectively.
    The duration of the long press of the push-button is set via the "Detect long key press after” parameter.

Example:

The "Edge” setting can be used, for example, to simulate the behavior of a bell push-button.

Availability:

The "Evaluation of input” parameter is displayed when the following configurations have been made:

  • Parameter "Function channels A + B” on the "device settings” parameter card
    • Setting: “Single
  • Parameter "Function channel” on the “functions, objects” parameter card
    • Setting: “Switching

Reaction on rising edge

Parameter

Settings

Reaction on rising edge

No action

Off

On

Toggle

Function:

This parameter is used to set which switching value is to be sent after a rising edge of the input signal. The rising edge corresponds to pressing the push-button or applying a voltage.

The following settings are possible:

  • No action:
    An edge change at the input does not lead to the transmission of a telegram.
  • Off:
    With a rising edge, the switching value “off” is sent.
  • On:
  • With a rising edge, the switching value “on” is sent.
  • Toggle:
    With a rising edge, the last sent switching value is inverted and the new value is sent.

Availability:

The "Reaction on rising edge” parameter is displayed when the following configurations have been made:

  • Parameter "Function channels A + B” on the "device settings” parameter card
    • Setting: “Single
  • Parameter "Function channel” on the “functions, objects” parameter card
    • Setting: “Switching
  • Parameter "Evaluation of input” on the parameter card "Switching"
    • Setting: “Edge

Reaction on falling edge

Parameter

Settings

Reaction on falling edge

No action

Off

On

Toggle

Function:

This parameter is used to set which switching value is to be sent after a falling edge of the input signal. The falling edge corresponds to a release of the push-button or the switching off of an applied voltage.

The following settings are possible:

  • No action:
    An edge change at the input does not lead to the transmission of a telegram.
  • Off:
    With a falling edge, the switching value “off” is sent.
  • On:
    With a falling edge, the switching value “on” is sent.
  • Toggle:
    With a falling edge, the last sent switching value is inverted and the new value is sent.

Availability:

The "Reaction on falling edge” parameter is displayed when the following configurations have been made:

  • Parameter "Function channels A + B” on the "device settings” parameter card
    • Setting: “Single
  • Parameter "Function channel” on the “functions, objects” parameter card
    • Setting: “Switching
  • Parameter "Evaluation of input” on the parameter card "Switching"
    • Setting: “Edge

On

Toggle

Function:

This parameter is used to set which switching value is to be sent after a short press of a push-button connected to the input.

The following settings are possible:

  • No action:
    A short press of the push-button at the input does not cause a telegram to be sent.
  • Off:
    With a short press of the push-button, the switching value “off” is sent.
  • On:
    With a short press of the push-button, the switching value “on” is sent.
  • Toggle:
    With a short press of the push-button, the last sent switching value is inverted and the new value is sent.

Availability:

The "Reaction on short key press” parameter is displayed when the following configurations have been made:

  • Parameter "Function channels A + B” on the "device settings” parameter card
    • Setting: “Single
  • Parameter "Function channel” on the “functions, objects” parameter card
    • Setting: “Switching
  • Parameter "Evaluation of input” on the parameter card "Switching"

Function:

This parameter is used to set which switching value is to be sent after a long press of a push-button connected to the input.

The following settings are possible:

  • No action:
    A long press of the push-button at the input does not result in sending a telegram.
  • Off:
    With a long press of the push-button, the switching value “off” is sent.
  • On:
    With a long press of the push-button, the switching value “on” is sent.
