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

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
