Parameters of the “functions, objects” parameter card

More information:

Direct operation mode

Parameter

Settings

Direct operation mode

Pushbutton

Switch

Function:

This parameter sets the mode for direct operation of a channel input.

The following settings are possible:

  • Pushbutton:
    With this setting, the “Channel State On/Off” push-button behaves as if a push-button were connected to the channel.
    Both pressing the “Channel state on/off” push-button and releasing the “Channel state on/off” push-button are evaluated separately and result in telegrams being sent depending on the configuration.
  • Switch:
    With this setting, the “Channel State On/Off” push-button behaves as if the push-button were a switch that changes state each time the push-button is pressed. Pressing and releasing the “Channel state On/Off” push-button is evaluated as a common operation and, depending on the configuration, results in telegrams being sent.

Examples:

Example setting "Pushbutton": This setting can be used, for example, to simulate the ringing function for a connected signal transmitter by pressing and releasing the “Channel state On/Off” push-button. The operation of the direct operation push-button thus corresponds exactly to the function of the push-button connected to the channel.

Example setting "Switch": A frost protection monitor connected to the duct closes its contact when the temperature is too low. As soon as the temperature has risen, the contact in the frost protection monitor is opened again. The first pressing of the “Channel state On/Off” push-button simulates closing of the contact of the frost protection monitor. After releasing the “Channel state On/Off” push-button, this closure remains. The alarm triggered by the binary input thus remains. Pressing the “Channel state On/Off” push-button a second time causes the (simulated) contact of the frost protection monitor to open again. The alarm triggered by the binary input is cleared.

Availability:

The "Direct operation mode” parameter is displayed when the following configurations have been made:

  • Parameter "Function channels A + B” on the "device settings” parameter card
    • Setting: "Single” or "Pairwise"
  • Parameter "Direct operation” on the “functions, objects” parameter card
    • Setting: “enable

More information:

Direct operation auto reset

Parameter

Settings

Direct operation auto reset

hh:mm:ss

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

Function:

This parameter is used to set the time after which direct operation is automatically deactivated for this channel.

The setting “00:00:00” means that direct operation is not automatically reset but can only be deactivated directly on the device or through bus voltage failure and recovery.

Note:

If direct operation has been switched on at the binary input, the function of the binary input can only be simulated this way and not by signals at the terminals. This parameter can be used to prevent direct operation from being unintentionally left switched on.

Availability:

The "Direct operation auto reset” parameter is displayed when the following configurations have been made:

  • Parameter "Function channels A + B” on the "device settings” parameter card
    • Setting: "Single” or "Pairwise"
  • Parameter "Direct operation” on the “functions, objects” parameter card
    • Setting: “enable

More information:

Direct operation lockable

Parameter

Settings

Direct operation lockable

disable

enable

Function:

This parameter can be used to control the enabling of direct operation via a communication object.

Availability:

The "Direct operation lockable” parameter is displayed when the following configurations have been made:

  • Parameter "Function channels A + B” on the "device settings” parameter card
    • Setting: "Single” or "Pairwise"
  • Parameter "Direct operation” on the “functions, objects” parameter card
    • Setting: “enable

Communication object:

If "enable” is selected, the communication object "A Direct operation lock” is displayed.

Example:

Enabling of direct operation via a key switch or a central function in the building. This can, for example, reduce false triggering of direct operation by unauthorized personnel in the equipment room.

More information:

Status direct operation

Parameter

Settings

Status direct operation

disable

enable

Function:

This communication object is used to report whether direct operation is active for this channel or not.

Availability

The "Status direct operation” parameter is displayed when the following configurations have been made:

  • Parameter "Function channels A + B” on the "device settings” parameter card
    • Setting: "Single” or "Pairwise"
  • Parameter "Direct operation” on the “functions, objects” parameter card
    • Setting: “enable

Other parameters and communication objects:

If "enable” is selected, the following parameters and the following communication object are also displayed:

More information:

Send status on change of status

Parameter

Settings

Send status on change of status

disable

enable

Function:

This parameter is used to set whether the value of the status object is automatically sent after each status change.

Availability:

The "Send status on change of status” parameter is displayed when the following configurations have been made:

  • Parameter "Function channels A + B” on the "device settings” parameter card
    • Setting: "Single” or "Pairwise"
  • Parameter "Direct operation” on the “functions, objects” parameter card

Send status on request

Parameter

Settings

Send status on request

disable

enable

Function:

This parameter is used to set whether the status of the communication object is sent upon request or whether requests for the status value will be rejected.

The request is triggered via the communication object “Send status values.”

Availability:

The "Send status on request” parameter is displayed when the following configurations have been made:

  • Parameter "Function channels A + B” on the "device settings” parameter card
    • Setting: "Single” or "Pairwise"
  • Parameter "Direct operation” on the “functions, objects” parameter card
    • Setting: “enable
  • Parameter "Status direct operation” on the “functions, objects” parameter card
    • Setting: “enable

Parameter

Settings

Send status cyclically

hh:mm:ss

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

Function:

This parameter is used to set the time interval at which the value of the status object is sent cyclically. If this is set to “00:00:00,” cyclic sending is deactivated.
