The parameter "Object lock input” is used to display a separate communication object through which the function of the channel can be switched on and off, e.g. by pressing a push-button. This is useful if you do not want to activate or deactivate the function permanently, but only for a certain period of time.
When an input is unlocked, the current contact status (if it was updated during the time of the lock) is sent immediately after unlocking.
During initial commissioning or after resetting to the delivery state, the communication object of the disable function has no value. This means that in order to be able to use the function after the initial download of the configurations made in the ETS, the communication object must receive a value. This is done, for example, by sending a telegram to the group address assigned to the communication object or by actuating the connected switch, which can be used to switch the lock on and off.
