Cyclical transmission of device function (0 = in operation)

Parameter

Settings

Cyclical transmission of device function
(0 = in operation)

disable

enable

Function:

With this parameter, the cyclic sending of the device function can disabled or enabled.

If the device is functioning properly, the value “0” is transmitted cyclically.

If the device no longer transmits cyclically, this indicates a device failure. A higher-level system can monitor the cyclic sending and trigger a warning or alarm message if the status message is not transmitted.

Note:

Transmission first takes place after the time configured in the “Cyclical transmission period” parameter.

Other parameters:

If "enable” has been selected, the parameters "Send status of device function inverted” and "Cyclical transmission period” also appear.

More information:

Send status of device function inverted (1 = in operation)

Parameter

Settings

Send status of device function inverted (1 = in operation)

No

Yes

Function:

This parameter can be used to transmit the status of the device function in inverted form. In this case the value “1” is transmitted cyclically when the device is functioning properly.

Availability:

The "Send status of device function inverted (1 = in operation)” parameter is displayed when the following configuration has been made:

  • Parameter "Cyclical transmission of device function (0 = in operation)” in the "device settings” parameter card
    • Setting: “enable

More information:

Cyclical transmission period

Parameter

Settings

Cyclical transmission period

(hh:mm:ss)

00:00:01 ... 18:12:15

Function:

This parameter can be used to select the time interval for cyclic sending of the device function status.

Note:

The device status is also transmitted for the first time after bus voltage failure and bus voltage recovery after the time set here.

Availability:

The "Cyclical transmission period” parameter is displayed when the following configuration has been made:

  • Parameter "Cyclical transmission of device function (0 = in operation)” on the "device settings” parameter card
    • Setting: “enable

More information:

Specific transmission time for status objects after bus voltage recovery

Parameter

Settings

Specific transmission time for status objects after bus voltage recovery

hh:mm:ss

00:00:00 ... 18:12:15

Function:

This parameter is used to ensure that no unnecessary bus load is generated by status telegrams immediately after bus voltage recovery and after a re-start of the device.

The time of transmission after bus voltage recovery must be set high enough that other KNX devices that have to receive and process the status have also already completed their initialization.

The time of transmission applies for the stored status values after bus voltage recovery. If the state changes during bus voltage failure or after bus voltage recovery (e.g. due to switching), the respective status is transmitted immediately and once again after the elapse of the time set here.

Note:

The transmission time does not apply if a status request of all status objects is initiated via the “send status values” communication object.

If a status request is initiated directly after bus voltage recovery and before this transmission time (e.g. via the “send status values” communication object), this request is discarded. A separate transmission of the status objects is possible only after the regular transmission of the status.

Transmission delay between status objects

Parameter

Settings

Transmission delay between status objects
(hh:mm:ss.f)

00:00:00.1 ... 00:01:00.0

Function:

This parameter is used to set with which minimal wait time two successive status telegrams are to be sent to ensure that no excessive bus load is generated by status telegrams sent in quick succession during operation.

Note:

This transmission delay only applies after bus voltage recovery and with the “Send status values” function.

Behavior after download

Parameter

Settings

Behavior after download

Use device parameter

Use ETS parameter

Function:

This parameter is used to set whether the parameters of the binary input or the parameters of ETS are to be used after downloading the ETS software to the binary input.

The following settings are possible:

  • Use device parameter:
    With this setting, parameters that the device has received from other sources via the communication objects are retained and are not overwritten by the parameters set in the ETS.
    The settings of the channels are not re-initialized and the current status is retained.
  • Use ETS parameter:
    With this setting, the parameters stored in the device are overwritten and the parameters set in the ETS are used. The behavior for bus voltage recovery configured in the ETS is also executed.

Recommendation:

If the device does not behave as expected, set this parameter to "Use ETS parameter."

Function channels A + B

Parameter

Settings

Function channels A + B

Pairwise

Single

Function:

This parameter can be used to set whether each of the two inputs is to be configurable separately or whether a common 2-push-button function is assigned to the two channels. Depending on this setting, the available functions and communication objects change.

The following settings are possible:

  • Pairwise
    With this setting, the two channels can be connected to a common input pair and a 2-button function is possible (e.g. dimming or solar protection control). The parameter cards for channels adapt accordingly (e.g. channel A + B) and other additionally required parameters appear.
  • Single
    With this setting, the two channels can be configured individually. The parameter cards for channels adapt accordingly (e.g. channel A).
