CW

Function:

This communication object can be used to set a value for variable transmission via the bus, at which sending starts when a push-button is pressed. The current value is stored within the device.

Application example:

In an open-plan office, there are two independent push-buttons that are to be used to set the room temperature (target temperature). Via this communication object, the current setpoint that was set on one of the two push-buttons is passed on to the room temperature controller and the second push-button. At the second push-button, the value serves as a starting value for further settings.

Availability:

The "A + B Receive value” communication object is displayed if 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
