Function channels | Send value, variable |
Function:
This parameter determines which function is to be assigned to the channel pair.

Parameters of the parameter card "Send value, variable"
Data type
Parameter | Settings |
---|---|
Data type | Percentage (%) DPT 5.001 Value (8-bit) DPT 5.010 Signed value (8-bit) DPT 6.010 Value (16-bit) DPT 7.001 Signed value (16-bit) DPT 8.001 2-byte floating point number DPT 9.x Temperature (°C) DPT 9.001 Illuminance (lx) DPT 9.004 Wind speed (m/s) DPT 9.005 Value (32-bit) DPT 12.001 Signed value (32-bit) DPT 13.001 Power (W) DPT 14.056 |
Function:
This parameter sets the data type of the values sent via the "Send value, variable” function.
Note:
When using the "2-byte floating point number DPT 9.x” data type, it is not possible for technical/mathematical reasons to further increase/decrease values that are already very high with a small step size and send them immediately. In this case, the counter value is further increased or decreased internally, but the new value is not sent until a value is reached that can be sent. Until this value is reached, the old value continues to be sent.
Availability:
The "Data type” parameter is displayed when the following configurations have been made:
- Parameter "Function channels A + B” on the "device settings” parameter card
- Setting: “Pairwise”
- Parameter "Function channels” on the “functions, objects” parameter card
- Setting: “Send value, variable”

Lower limit
Parameter | Settings |
---|---|
Lower limit | Depends on the selected data type and its value range |
Function:
This parameter sets the lower limit of the selected data type. When the lower limit value is reached and the push-button for decreasing the value step by step is still pressed, the value of the lower limit value is sent once. When the push-button for decreasing the value step by step is released and pressed again, the value of the lower limit is sent again. This happens every time the push-button is pressed again.
The following settings are possible:
The permissible values depend on the selected data type and its value range.
Availability:
The "Lower limit” parameter is displayed when the following configurations have been made:
- Parameter "Function channels A + B” on the "device settings” parameter card
- Setting: “Pairwise”
- Parameter "Function channels” on the “functions, objects” parameter card
- Setting: “Send value, variable”
More information:
Upper limit
Parameter | Settings |
---|---|
Upper limit | Depends on the selected data type and its value range |
Function:
This parameter sets the upper limit of the selected data type. When the upper limit value is reached and the push-button for increasing the value step by step continues to be pressed, the value of the upper limit value is sent once. When the push-button for increasing the value step by step is released and pressed again, the value of the upper limit is sent again. This happens every time the push-button is pressed again.
The following settings are possible:
The permissible values depend on the selected data type and its value range.
Availability:
The "Upper limit” parameter is displayed when the following configurations have been made:
- Parameter "Function channels A + B” on the "device settings” parameter card
- Setting: “Pairwise”
- Parameter "Function channels” on the “functions, objects” parameter card
- Setting: “Send value, variable”
More information:
Step value (decrease)
Parameter | Settings |
---|---|
Step value (decrease) | Depends on the selected data type and its value range |
This parameter can be used to set the increment by which the value is decreased when the push-button is pressed. The value is either decreased by this value per press of the push-button or, in the case of a long press of the push-button, automatically each time the value is sent cyclically.
The following settings are possible:
The permissible values depend on the selected data type and its value range.
Availability:
The "Step value (decrease)” parameter is displayed when the following configurations have been made:
- Parameter "Function channels A + B” on the "device settings” parameter card
- Setting: “Pairwise”
- Parameter "Function channels” on the “functions, objects” parameter card
- Setting: “Send value, variable”
More information:
Step value (increase)
Parameter | Settings |
---|---|
Step value (increase) | Depends on the selected data type and its value range |
Function:
This parameter can be used to set the increment by which the value is increased when the push-button is pressed. The value is either increased by this value per press of the push-button or, in the case of a long press of the push-button, automatically each time the value is sent cyclically.
The following settings are possible:
The permissible values depend on the selected data type and its value range.
Availability:
The "Step value (increase)” parameter is displayed when the following configurations have been made:
- Parameter "Function channels A + B” on the "device settings” parameter card
- Setting: “Pairwise”
- Parameter "Function channels” on the “functions, objects” parameter card
- Setting: “Send value, variable”

Detect long key press after
Parameter | Settings |
---|---|
Detect long key press after hh:mm:ss.f | 00:00:00.3 ... 00:00:07.0 |
Function:
This parameter sets the duration of a long press of the push-button. At the beginning of the press of the push-button, the set value is increased or decreased and the first telegram is sent. After the set time has elapsed, the press of the push-button is considered long and the cyclic sending of further telegrams starts in addition to the telegram already sent.
Availability:
The "Detect long key press after” 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: “Send value, variable”
- Parameter "Evaluation of input” on the parameter card "Switching"
- Setting: “Short/long key press”
More information:
Cyclic sending
Parameter | Settings |
---|---|
Cyclic sending hh:mm:ss.f | 00:00:00.3 ... 01:49:13.5 |
Function:
This parameter can be used to set the interval at which the values are sent in the event of a long press of the push-button.
If the upper or lower limit value has been reached during a long press of the push-button, cyclic sending ends after the limit value has been sent.
Availability:
The "Cyclic sending” parameter is displayed when the following configurations have been made:
- Parameter "Function channels A + B” on the "device settings” parameter card
- Setting: “Pairwise”
- Parameter "Function channels” on the “functions, objects” parameter card
- Setting: “Send value, variable”
