Innovations -102

The design of this display is availablein four different colours.

The light scene function has 40 memoobjects and the alarm function has 50alarm objects.

The simulated presence records tele-grams from up to 20 objects (1bit or 1byte) via the bus and sends themagain to the bus corresponding to therecording.

In the message function each messa-ge received can be activated or deac-tivated via a separate communicationobject.

Touch buttons with the application„Button“ have a feedback object.

If a touch button with the application„Dimmer with slider“ is pressed long,an additional window with a slidingcontrol (slider) for dimming opens.

Via the logic function „Time function“the functions of staircase lighting,switch-on delay and/or switch offdelay can be implemented.

The room thermostat is used to set the„Temperature display in adjustmentmode“. Alternative to the „“Setpoint“,also the „Relative current setpoint (+/-K)“ can be displayed.

Each page can be protected againstunauthorized access by means of aPIN. There are four hierarchic levels.

The screen saver can be deactivatedby the user.

The jump function can refer directly tothe information page.

For cleaning purposes the display canbe temporarily blocked via a commu-nication object.

For a better overview during projectplanning, descriptive text may be ad-ded to light scenes, the time programsand the individual pages. The text ap-pears in the function view. Instead of„Page 1“, for example, „Living room“ isdisplayed.

The parameter software also has theoption of searching for internaladdresses.

A larger display makes it easier for theuser to administer the individual timeprograms.

Innovations -101

The panel has an improved page ma-nagement function. Up to 21 indepen-dent pages with various hyperlinkfunctions and operator levels can nowbe created. It is also possible to retrie-ve the system page, the “Extras” page,the alarm control unit or the alarmmessages from each page via a touchsurface.

The end user can retrieve and saveseveral functions (up to 20) one afterthe other and is thus able to createmacros. If a touch surface is assigneda macro function, all the storedfunctions are retrieved in sequencewith only one operation. The panelcan manage up to 32 different macros.

User-defined symbols can be storedin the panel and represented on thebuttons. The panel software generatesthe symbol which should be displayedin the panel using *.bmp, *.jpg or *.giffiles and automatically adapts theimage size.

Whe the panel is inactive, it switcheson a screen saver. This can be imagesfrom the multimedia/SD card whichare displayed in sequence or animage that is stored in the memory ofthe panel. A single image must beloaded beforehand from the multime-dia/SD card into the panel‘s memoryvia the menus of the panel software.The multimedia/SD card can then beremoved.

If the screen saver or a backgroundimage is displayed, an additional ba-sic function such as “Basic lightingON” can be retrieved onto the displayvia a long push button action(approx. 5 s, corresponds to a longoperation).

The preview display has been impro-ved. The preview window now alwaysdisplays the function which has justbeen parameterised. It is possible tocheck the function of individual pages

and hyperlink functions via the pre-view window.

The signalling function is carried outas an additional function and no lon-ger has its own page. Up to 30 inde-pendent inputs can now be integratedin the alarm control unit i.e. only a cy-clical monitoring of the input is carriedout if required.

Alternatively, each page can be desi-gned with symbols for CD, TV, DVD,video or tuner control and used forcontrolling media.

Status feedback objects can be acti-vated for switch, dimmer and shuttertouch surfaces as well as hyperlinkfunctions and linked with separategroup addresses or actions.

The system time is backed up in theevent of a mains failure. The internaltime can be synchronised via the bus,via the system frequency or via an in-ternal quartz clock in the panel.

In order to control KNX room thermo-stats, a 1-byte communication objectfor toggling between the room tempe-rature modes can be enabled in thesettings of a room thermostat touchsurface or in the room thermostatfunction.

The timer channels can now alsosend 2-byte values, lightscenes ormacro numbers.

Installation of the supplementarysoftware (RCP tool)

To be able to parameterise SMART-touch panel in ETS 3 or in Power-Pro-ject (from version 4.5 onwards), thesupplementary software RCP-Toolmust be installed. You can find thissoftware on the Internet atwww.Busch-Jaeger.de.

The software can be plugged intoETS 3 and/or Power-Project. That me-ans that as soon as you retrieve theparameters of a panel in ETS or Po-wer-Project, the panel software is ope-ned automatically in which you carryout all further settings.

Before you start the installation ofthe panel software, please ensurethat ETS or Power-Project has alrea-dy been installed on your computer.

The following section describes theindividual installation steps.

An installation wizard helps you to in-stall the panel software. This is startedby double clicking on the file“Setup.exe” and can run in either“German” or “English”.

The panel sofware requires at leastWindows 98. You require full administ-rator rights of the operating system inorder to install the panel software.

Once you have confirmed the welco-me screen with “Next”, you can enteryour name and the name of your com-pany in the “User info” dialog. If sever-

al users work on the computer onwhich you wish to install the software,you can limit access to the software.This means that either all the userscan start the software or only you.

The installation path for the panel soft-ware is defined in the next dialog. Bydefault, this is “C:\Program Files\EIB-Programs\”. It is advisable to keep thispath as e.g. Power-Project has thesame default installation path. All KNXprograms and additional KNX soft-ware can thus be easily located onthe hard disk.


8 April 2010


In the “Select functions” dialog, youdefine the VD3 file should be copiedlocally onto the hard disk. You requirethese to be able to use the SMART-touch panel in connection with an ETSversion. (Also observe the note at theend of this chapter).

By default, the files are copied into thefollowing directory:C:\Program Files\EIB-Programs\RCP-Tool\VDX

Once you have confirmed the “Selectfunctions” dialog with “Next”, the in-stallation wizard carries out an initiali-sation. This means that all the requi-red files are compiled together andstored temporarily. The dialog “Up-dating the system” is shown for visualmonitoring purposes.

All the required files are then copiedinto the appropriate directories. Theinstallation is concluded with an auto-matic amendment of the Windows re-gistration entries.

The computer must be restarted de-pending on the operating systemused.

NoteOnce you have installed the panelsoftware, you must import the productdata (VD3 files) in the ETS database ifyou wish to parameterise a panel withETS.

To do so, please retrieve the ETS im-port tool ETS 3 and import the VD3 file(ETS 3) from the default directoryC:\Program Files\EIB-Programs\RCP-Tool\VDX.

You must import the VD3 file in full.

Caution:The import of individual files is notpossible.

Note:Please note possible softwareup-dates (Service-Releases) in the in-ternet under www.busch-jaeger.de

Commissioning a panel

The commissioning of a panel is pos-sible either via a multimedia/SD card(not included) or with “standard” busprogramming.

Due to the high level of functionality,full programming via the bus takes along time depending on the configura-tion and medium (Twisted Pair or Po-wernet).

The use of the multimedia/SD card istherefore recommended for quickand simple commissioning.

It is not advisable to carry out full busprogramming via Powernet.

The menu item “Download” of thecommissioning tool therefore has twofurther submenus via which the usercan select the required commission-ing method. If he selects programmingvia multimedia card, the configurationis stored on a card which is connectedto the PC.

With a project that is saved in this way,the panel itself can be commissionedby inserting the card. The slot for themultimedia/SD card is located behindthe chrome flap of the panel.

Several projects can be stored on onemultimedia card. After inserting thecard in the panel, the user can selectthe required project which should beloaded into the panel.


April 2010 9


To do so, the “Commissioning” optionfrom the “System“ menu of the panelmust be retrieved.

Note 1:If the panel is in the “Commissioning”menu with the option “Read multime-dia/SD card” selected and a short bus/mains voltage failure occurs (approx.2-3s), the device no longer reacts topush button actions and does not re-spond to telegrams from the bus. Thebus/mains voltage must be reset to beable to operate the device.

Note 2:If a USB card reader is used to writethe multimedia/SD card under theWindows 2000 operating system, thereader may not be correctly enabledby the operating system once it hasbeen accessed. The panel then issuesa corresponding signal.

Access to the multimedia/SD card canin most cases only be re-establishedonce the computer has been restarted.This error no longer occurs under theWindows XP operating system.

Functions of the panel software

The functions and applications arearranged with all the communicationobjects in the centre. If necessary, theindividual functions/applications mustfirst be activated so that the communi-cation objects become visible. Thefunctions are defined via a pull-downmenu.

The parameters of the individual func-tions are displayed on the right-handside. The parameters of the function

that is marked in the centre are alwaysdisplayed.

To obtain a better overview, individualfunctions can be temporarily hiddenvia the function view.

The buttons at the bottom always jumpdirectly to the selected function. This isparticularly advisable if the functiontree in the centre has been fully exten-ded.

If you have inserted a SMARTtouchpanel in Power-Project or in ETS,open the panel software by retrievingthe “Edit device” dialog (Power-Pro-ject) or the parameters (ETS) of thepanel. The panel software starts auto-matically with the following interface.

The method of operation of the panelsoftware is identical to that of Power-Project or ETS. The “standard” groupaddresses and the internal group

addresses are arranged on the left-hand side. Internal group addressesare not sent on the bus and are there-fore used to relieve the load on thebus. A touch surface can for examplebe linked with a lightscene via an in-ternal group address. The groupaddresses and the internal groupaddresses are linked with the commu-nication objects in the centre usingdrag & drop.


Note:

If a communication object linked to agroup address and then unlinkedagain, it is possible that the groupaddress must be deleted first in theETS or in PowerProject, so the com-munication object can be re-connec-ted again.

Copying a panel

Only one panel can be parameterisedat one time. To provide several panelswith the same functionality (generati-on of a duplicate of a previously confi-gured panel), please proceed as fol-lows:

Retrieve the function “Save as...” fromthe File menu. The project is storedwith the file ending *.rcp. Now closethe panel software. Please insert anew panel in ETS or Power-Project.This can be in the same or anotherproject. Then open the panel softwarefor the inserted panel. Select thefunction “Open” in the File menu andselect the previously saved file.

During the import, the following win-dow is displayed in which you can sel-ect whether the import should be car-ried out with or without group addres-ses.

During an import with group addres-ses, you must ensure that all thegroup addresses or actions are alrea-dy located in the project with identicalEIS types to the template. Otherwise,you can only import the data withoutgroup addresses. You must thenhowever link them again.

Auto backup file

When you retrieve the menu item “Set-tings” under the File menu, you canset the period, after which the panelsoftware will carry out an automaticbackup. This is a temporary file withthe extention „*.paf“ which is stored onyour hard disk (C://Documents andsettings/User/lokal settings/Temp/*paf).

If e.g. your computer crashes, you canretrieve the last automatic backup withthe menu item “Reset” under the Filemenu.

Copying functions

To shorten the configuration time, it ispossible to copy the settings of a func-tion (touch surface, time function, light-scene). To do so, click on the functionwith the right mouse button whichshould be copied.

Note:Only touch surfaces with identical ap-plications or functions can be duplica-ted.



12 April 2010


Insertion of background images(only SMARTtouch colour)

If the function “Manage images...” isretrieved from the “Edit” menu, a dia-log window opens via which theimages can be imported into the panelsoftware.

To do so, select the required file viathe “Open” symbol - graphics files ofthe type *.jpg, *.bmp or *.gif can beimported. The graphic is then display-ed in the preview window. The imageis prepared for storage in the panelvia the button “Save backgroundimage in the panel”.

So that the background images arethe correct size, the imported imagesare calculated directly in the panelsoftware so that they match the size(320 x 240 pixels) that can be display-ed in the panel.

If a project is stored on a multimedia/SD card for commissioning, a “Pic-tures” folder is created at the sametime by the panel software. This foldercontains all the background images inthe appropriate size.

The background images are used asscreen savers. The screen saver isswitched on automatically when thepanel is not operated for an extendedperiod. The images which are storedin the “Pictures” folder on the multime-

Functions of the panel software dia/SD card are displayed in se-quence in screen saver mode.An image can be stored in the panelvia the menus so that the multimedia/SD card can be removed again. If thescreen saver is now switched on, thepreviously stored image is displayed.It is possible for example to display acompany logo.

Insertion of user-defined symbols

The panel software offers the possibi-lity not only of displaying text on a but-ton but also of storing symbols. Thesecan be prefabricated symbols whichare already contained in the panelsoftware or user-defined symbols.User-defined symbols must first beimported in the panel software. To doso, the “Manage symbols” dialog win-dow is retrieved via the “Edit” menu.

In a similar way to the function of im-porting background images, variousgraphics files (*.jpg, *.bmp or *.gif) canbe imported via the “Open” symbol inthe “Manage symbols” dialog window.The panel software can manage a to-tal of 126 different files.

In addition to the large preview win-dow, the panel software also displaysthe graphic in the format 55x55 and24x24 pixels. The symbol graphic isshown in the panel in these two sizes.The panel software carries out anycompression of the graphics file auto-matically.

Busch-Jaeger Elektro supplies addi-tional symbols to those which are al-ready stored in the panel software.These symbols are automaticallystored in the “Symbols” directory inthe “EIB programs” folder during theinstallation of the panel software.

Search address

Via a right click on a group address(action) or an internal address, alllinks made on the control panel can

Preview

The panel software has the option todisplay a preview window. This pre-view window indicates all the configu-red buttons, symbols and text as theywill later be used in the panel.

A functional check can also be carriedout via the preview window. This me-ans that a mouse click on a button inthe preview window has the same ef-fect as touching the button on the pa-nel.

The preview window always displaysthe page which has just been configu-red. If the parameters of page 1 aremodified for example, the preview in-dicates page 1. If page 15 is set, thepreview displays page 15. If howeverhyperlink functions are configured inthe pages so that it is possible tochange from page 1 to page 15 bypressing a button, the preview alsochanges from page 1 to page 15 byclicking with the mouse on the appro-priate button.


14 April 2010


Functions of the panel software Important note 1

If you have inserted a SMARTtouchpanel in ETS 3, you may no longerretrieve the following function:– Shrink database

The reason for this lies in the databa-se structure of ETS 3. It is not largeenough to take all the panel informati-on. The panel information is storedtemporarily in several files on the harddisk. If you carry out the functionmentioned above, the files are nolonger taken into account and theresult is data loss or damage to thedatabase.

Important note 2

The latest control panel (part numberwith „102“) also has a more recentfirmware than the previous models(part number without „102“). The diffe-rent firmware versions make it impos-sible to load a project created with thecurrent control panel software intoand „older“ control panel.

If additional functions or pages whichalready existed in the previous versi-on of the panel software should beadded to an ”older” panel, this can becarried out in the usual way. This me-ans that the panel software detectswhether it is an ”older” panel (e.g. be-cause it has been configured in aPowerProject or ETS project) and thenonly displays the functions which canalso be used in the panel.

If the hardware of an ”older” panelshould fail so that it must be replacedby a newer version, there are two pro-cedures to follow:1. The functions must all be reconfigu-red using the current panel software.More recent panel functions could beoffered to the customer at the sametime.2. The current panel software must beprovided with the older firmware vari-ants by the manufacturer. This meansthat all the new functions cannot beconfigured and thus the panel adoptsthe behaviour of the previous model.

Functional description: Basic set-tings

General

By default, the panel always has thelanguages German and English.When the panel software is retrievedfor the first time, it is possible to selecta third system language which is au-tomatically transferred to the panelduring the commissioning phase. Thesystem language is defined via theappropriate general parameters. Thefollowing left-justified languages canbe selected:– Czech– Danish– German– English– Spanish– Italian– Dutch– Polish– Russian– Swedish– Chinese

If a right-justified style of writing ischosen, the text on the individual but-tons always runs from left to right. Todisplay a writing style from left to right,additional spaces must be addedwhen entering text, so that the text ispositioned at the right edge of thetouch button. The following right-justi-fied languages can be selected:– Arabic– Hebrew

The panel distinguishes between ashort and long push button action e.g.when dimming or moving shutters. It ispossible to set the period which thepanel detects as a long push buttonaction. By default, the period is set at500 ms.

Temperature display

The panel has an internal temperaturesensor. The measured value is dis-played on the homepage. The displaycan also be deactivated via the setting“Display temperature indoors”.

The outside temperature is not dis-played by default. The display can beactivated via the display “Display tem-perature outdoors”. The outside tem-perature is the temperature valuewhich the panel receives via the2-byte communication object “Tempe-rature outside”. It can be recorded e.g.by a “standard” KNX temperature sen-sor and sent via its2-byte communication object “Actualvalue”.

If the indoor and outdoor temperatureshould be displayed simultaneously,the corresponding point on the dis-play changes every 5 s.

Date and Time

The panel can display the date andtime. The display can be carried out inthe German format (TT.MM.JJJJ; 24h)or in the English format (MM.TT.JJJJ;12h).

The panel can send and receive thedate and time on the KNX via the two3-byte communication objects “Date”and “Time”. The panel can thus act asa master clock for other KNX devicesor as an extension unit. In its functionas an extension unit, the date andtime can e.g. be sent by an KNX DCF-77 receiver on the bus. By default, thedate and time are neither sent nor re-ceived.

If the panel does not receive any timeand date information via the KNX, the-re are two possiblities for synchroni-sing the internal clock. This can becarried out via the system frequencyor via an internal quartz clock. In theEuropean association of system ope-rators (countries of the UCTE, Unionfor the Co-ordination of Transmissionof Electricity), synchronisation via thesystem frequency is advisable as avery precise control of the 50 Hz sy-stem frequency takes place here. In allother countries, the internal quartzclock should be used for synchronisa-tion.

If the date and the time should be dis-played on the panel, the correspon-ding display switches between dateand time every 5 s.

Note:The date and time do not need to bereset after a bus/mains voltage failureas the panel can store the time anddate for 24 hours. In the case of a TPpanel, the energy store is loaded viathe bus voltage.

Info page, alarm clock, timer

The panel has an info page, an alarmclock and a timer. All three functionscan be activated in the basic settings.The user accesses these functions viathe “Extras” page.


16 April 2010


With the info page, it is possible toleave a short message on the panelwith the help of the pen. Other userscan detect by the “Info page” symbolat the top of the display that a messa-ge has been stored in the panel. If theinfo page is deleted, the “Info page”symbol is immediately removed fromthe display.

Via the alarm clock or timer signal, it ispossible to trigger an acoustic signalvia the panel at a specific time or oncea given period has elapsed.

Address page

The contact person, company, tele-phone, fax and email of the electricalcompany which carried out the instal-lation can be stored on the addresspage. In the event of changes, the cu-stomer (end user) does not need tosearch in his documentation to findthe right contact person. He will findall the relevant data directly in the pa-nel.

System settings

The system settings are not enabledas standard. This means that a fourdigit code (by default 0000) must beentered on the display so that chan-ges can be carried out. Only authori-sed personnel may therefore view andmodify the system settings. It is possi-ble however to enable the system set-tings in principle e.g. in enclosedrooms with users who are permitted tocarry out settings. The system settingscan also be fully disabled.

Caution:If you disable the system settings com-pletely, the menu item “Commission-ing” on the panel can no longer beselected. In this case, you must carry

out a long operation at the bottom leftof the display and thereby switch onthe mains voltage. The menu item “Sy-stem” becomes visible and the panelcan e.g. be commissioned with themultimedia/SD card. The display theninverts all the operating elements.

If the system settings are saved withthe help of a code, the code is definedvia the parameter “Code for systemsettings”.

The following settings can be carriedout in the system settings on the dis-play:

– Change date– Change time– Display lighting– Volume– Contrast / brightness– Signal tones

– Alarm messages– Timer / alarm clock– Incorrect input– Push button click

– Touchscreen adjustment– Commissioning

– EIB programming– Reading multimedia/SD card– System info– Screen saver– Reset

– Synchronisation of the clock– Change PIN 1– Change PIN 2– Change PIN 3– Change PIN 4

(see also diagram for modifying sy-stem settings)

The time which has been stored in theparameter “Background illuminationon for” is modified via “Backgroundillumination”.

The volume and the contrast or bright-ness must be adapted to the environ-ment and requirements of the enduser.

The complete touch surface is syn-chronised again with the touchscreenadjustment. To do so, the operatingpen must be clicked precisely on spe-cific points which are indicated on thedisplay.

The commissioning can be carried outboth via the KNX and via the multime-dia/SD card module slot. For Power-net variants, it is not advisable to

carry out the programming via thebus as this is very time-consumingand faults caused by cyclical trans-mitters (e.g. room thermostats ormovement detectors) can lead tothe programming being interrupted.

Up to 21 pages with 5, 8 or 10 opera-tor elements, touch surfaces or sym-bols can be created in the panel. Thefirst page is set by default as the startpage i.e. the first page is the pagefrom which further pages can be ac-cessed. This is carried out via hyper-link functions (see also hyperlinkfunctions under the functional descrip-tion of touch surfaces). Each of the 21other pages can be declared as astart page via the setting “Use as startpage”.

Macro recorder

Via the macro function of the panel, itis possible to store several functions(up to 20) which can be retrieved viathe panel.

To do so, at least one touch surfacemust be assigned the function “Macroretrieval”. The communication object“Macro number” of the touch surfaceis linked via an internal address to the“Macro actuator” communication ob-ject. In addition, an external groupaddress can be linked to the 1-bytecommunication object “Macro actua-tor” so that a macro function can alsobe retrieved by a switch sensor. Up to32 different macros can be stored inthe panel.

Example:A user always switches the back-ground brightness on when enteringthe house and sets the comfort mode

to regulate the room temperature. Nor-mally, he has to click through severalpages to do so. Via the macrofunction, the user is able to retrievethese functions, which he always re-trieves in sequence, with a singlemouse click.

To store a macro, the macro touch sur-face must be pressed for a long peri-od (approx. 3s). The panel then dis-plays a window after each operationof a touch surface in which the usercan decide whether or not he wouldlike to store the function in the macro.After the last function which should bestored, the saving of macros can befinished in the same window.

To retrieve the macro function, theuser only needs to touch the macrotouch surface once and the panel car-ries out all the functions in the storedsequence.

Background illumination

The backlighting of the panel is swit-ched on automatically as soon as thedisplay is operated. After the adjusta-ble period “Background illuminationon for”, the backlighting is switched offagain, provided that the panel is notoperated again.

In the basic settings, the panel hasthree 1-bit communication objects. Allthree are used for controlling thebacklighting.

The backlighting can be switched viathe “Background illumination” object. Ifan ON telegram is received from theKNX, the backlighting is switched onwhile an OFF telegram switches it offagain. The object can be linked withan internal address or external groupaddress/action.

If the display has been switched onvia an external group address/action,the internal overshoot time starts fromthe receipt of the telegram. The back-lighting switches off automaticallyonce the overshoot time has elapsed.If the backlighting should be perma-nently lit, the parameter “Backgroundillumination on for” should be set to“always on”.

The object “Status background illumi-nation” sends an ON telegram assoon as the backlighting has beenswitched on. If the backlighting is ex-

tinguished after the set overshoottime, the object sends an OFF tele-gram.

The object “Status background illumi-nation” is temporarily disabled via the“Enable status” object. If the “Enablestatus” object receives an ON tele-gram, the status object sends tele-grams after a change. If an OFF tele-gram is received, no status telegramsare sent after a change.

If an ON telegram is received on ob-ject „Block display“, operation of thecontrol panel is blocked until an OFFtelegram has been received on thecommunication object. This functioncould be used, for example, to tem-porarily deactivate the unit for cle-aning purposes via an external but-ton, to prevent a function error beingtriggered during cleaning.

Screen saver(only SMARTtouch colour)

If the parameter “Display screen sa-ver” is activated, when the SMART-touch colour panel is inactive, it dis-plays all the images in sequencewhich are located in the “Pictures” fol-der on the multimedia/SD card or theimage stored in the panel. The panelproceeds in alphabetical order. Theperiod between the images can be set- by default it is set to 1 min.

Basic function

If the backlighting is switched off orthe screen saver is active, a so-calledbasic function can be triggered bypressing the display for a long period.

The basic function is a single tele-gram which is used e.g. to send a cen-tral function such as “Basic lightingON”.

The basic function can of course alsosend an ON telegram. The value thatshould be sent is defined via the para-meter “Send”.

The communication object of the basicfunction can send a 1-byte value in-stead of a 1-bit value. This can eitherbe an absolute value between 0 and255, a percentage between 0 and100% or a lightscene or macro num-ber.

Page access

In the control panel up to 21 pageswith 5, 8 or 10 operating elements,touch buttons or symbols can be con-figured. The jump to a single page canbe controlled with a PIN. This meansthat the user activates a touch buttonto jump to a different page, but beforethe page is displayed and can be ope-rated he must enter a four-digit code.

The default setting of this function isinactive, it must be activated for eachsingle jump via parameter „PIN codekey“. Four „Levels“ are available. Thefour levels have a hierarchical struc-ture; i.e. when a user knows the PIN oflevel 2 he can automatically operateall pages protected by level 1. Level 3has access to level 2 and level 4 to alllevels.

The PINs can be set via the systemparameters. The user can change theindividual PINs directly on the controlpanel. The changes are written intothe flash memory and are retainedwhen there is a bus or power failure.

Note:During a download the PINs changedby the user are overwritten with thePINs set in the control panel software.

Background colour

Menu item „Background colour“ influ-ences the colour of the display. Fourdifferent colour variations can be sel-ected. The „classic“ version corre-sponds to the display of the previousmodel up to 101. Also „blue“, „bright“or „black“ can be selected as alternati-ve. The changes that are made herefor the background colour of the indi-vidual image sectors (header, statusline, display area), for the colour of thefonts and the buttons, apply to all pa-ges of the control panel.

Functional description: Touch sur-faces (Homepage)

Homepage

The start page of the panel is page 1by default but each of the 21 other pa-ges can be declared the start page. Ifa submenu (pages 2 to 21, system,“Extras”, alarm control unit or alarmmessages) has been retrieved via thetouch surfaces, the panel changesback automatically to the last operatorpage after a long period of inactivity.To do so, the parameter “Page auto-matically in the foreground” must beactivated. The preset delay after whichthe panel displays the start page is1:01 min and is adjustable.

Note:If you do not require the panel to re-vert back automatically to the startpage, you must ensure that all the hy-perlink functions concur with this i.e.you cannot create a page from whichthe user cannot access the previouspage or the start page. The previewwindow of the panel software offersthe opportunity to check the configura-tion of the various pages and their hy-perlink functions.

Hyperlink functions to submenus andoperator functions can also be crea-ted on the start page itself.

Note:When a page is activated the standardheadline page 1 ..21 can be replacedby any text (e.g. „living room“, „be-droom“, or „lighting“). This text is alsoadopted in the tree of the parametersoftware, to maintain a better over-view when configuring parameters.

Monitoring function(only SMARTtouch)

A signalling function can also be re-trieved via any touch surface on thepanel. To do so, the touch surfacemust be assigned a hyperlink function.“Alarm control unit” must then be sel-ected in the hyperlink parameter.

In the dialog field “Monitoringfunction” which is retrieved via the firsttouch surface, the panel can be armedor deactivated and an overview of allthe alarm and fault messages can beretrieved.

Note:The monitoring function is not used toset up a VDS-certified alarm systembut merely offers the opportunity ofmonitoring e.g. windows, doors or in-terior rooms via KNX-type movementdetectors. It is not a replacement foran alarm system.

Please consider that the installationgoes into the disarmed mode after amains voltage failure, because thesetting of the inputs can be undefinedafter a mains voltage recovery. To pre-vent the case you have to buffer themains voltage over a UPS.

Inputs (Monitoring function)

The monitoring function can monitorup to 30 inputs. Each input has its own1-bit communication object available“Input ...”. The parameter “Number ofinputs” determines how many inputsare actually visible.

It can be set for each input via the pa-rameter “Type of input” whether it is awindow, a movement detector whichmay or may not be in the entrancearea, a “standard” door or one of threedoors in the entrance area. All inputswill treated in the same way up to themovement detector in th entrancearea, that means a arming is also pos-sible if the detector in the entrancearea is switched on.

Attention:In order that the installation do not ac-tivate directly after the arming, thetime delay up to the arming have to beset larger than the follow-up time ofthe movement detector.

Text can be freely assigned to eachindividual input via the parameter “De-scription of the input”. If an input isnow triggered on the panel, not onlythe input number is shown but also a


April 2010 23


clear text description such as “Ba-throom window open”.

The input objects are linked via groupaddresses with the sensor objects (bi-nary inputs, magnetic contacts, switch/key bolt contact, …) of the window,movement detector or doors that areto be monitored. The linked sensorsmust send their input signals, both “0”and “1”, cyclically on the bus so thatthe panel knows the status of the in-stallation at any time.

The inputs are not monitored cyclical-ly by default. This can be set for eachindividual input via the parameter “Cy-clical monitoring of the inputs”.

If e.g. a movement detector is preven-ted from detecting movements throughsabotage, the panel notes the sabota-ged movement detector as it has notsent out any telegrams within the “Mo-nitoring time of inputs”. The panel thusautomatically sets the linked input tofault mode.

The “Monitoring time of inputs” can beadjusted and represents a compromi-se between a high bus load and sy-stem reliability. The monitoring timeshould be set too short, particularly inPowerline installations.

Note:Set the cyclic period of the sensors(binary inputs or movement detectors)to sensible values.Example:– Monitoring time of the inputs:

10 min– Cyclic period of the sensors:

4.5 minIt is therefore guaranteed that a tele-gram is received at least twice withinthe monitoring time.

If the mains voltage fails, the inputsinitially remain inactive on mainsvoltage recovery. The time until theinputs become active is set via the pa-rameter “Monitoring of inputs aftermains voltage recovery”.

If an ON telegram is set while the sys-tem is “armed”, the input is triggered.That means that the “Text for on” isentered in the panel in the list of moni-toring functions. If an input fails, the“Text for failure” is entered in the list offaults. Both the “Text for on” and the“Text for failure” can be freely set foreach input.

Each input can be activated or deacti-vated via a 1-bit communication ob-ject „Enable input ...“. When the objectreceives an ON telegram, telegramsreceived on the associated input ob-ject are evaluated. When OFF tele-grams are received, telegrams fromthe input object are ignored until anON telegram is received again on theenable object.

Note:After bus / mains voltage has beenrestored or after the first start-up theinputs are enabled as default. I.e., a„1“ is present at all enable objects.

The individual input objects can beactivated or deactivated both in an„armed“ and in a „disarmed“ state.

The monitoring function has two com-munication objects “Releasing inputs”and “Failure inputs” which can sendout the input states. The two objectscan adopt 1-byte or 14-byte values.This is dependent on the setting “Typeof output”.

In the case of a 1-byte output variablethe number of the input which hasbeen triggered is sent to the 1-byteobject “Releasing inputs”. If an inputfails, the number of the input whichhas failed is sent to the 1-byte object“Failure inputs”.

If the “Type of output” is set to 14 by-tes, the “Message text at releasing” ofthe respective input is sent to the 14-byte object “Releasing inputs” whenan input is triggered. In the event of afault, the 14-byte object “Failure in-puts” sends the “Message text at failu-re” of the input. Both text elements canbe freely assigned to each input andcontain up to 13 characters.

The transmitted 14-byte text can opena pop-up window on the display withthe help of the alarm functionality,which immediately displays a visualand/or acoustic fault or a trigger. Theuser does not therefore need to firstchange to the list of alarm and faultmessages but sees directly that thereis a problem with the installation.

If at least one input has a fault, the in-stallation can be armed directly. Theinput or inputs must first be acknow-ledged in order to arm the system. Thefaulty inputs are removed from the mo-nitoring as a result. The acknowledge-


24 April 2010


ment can either be carried out directlyon the panel or via the 1-bit communi-cation object “Failure reset inputs”.

Example:The installation should be armed ex-ternally at an entrance door with thehelp of a key-operated switch. The mo-vement detector in the cellar is howe-ver currently faulty i.e. it no longersends a cyclical telegram and is thusfaulty. So that the user can still arm hissystem, he must first acknowledge thefaulty input. This can e.g. be carriedout via a 1-fold switch sensor.

Note:Using this function, it is possible toarm the installation even if an input isfaulty. The input is temporarily remo-ved from the monitored installationthrough the acknowledgement.

If the parameter “Delete failure mes-sage at external display” is set to“yes”, a so-called zero string is sent tothe object “Failure inputs” in the eventof a fault acknowledgement with thevalue zero. This means that a tele-gram is sent whose useful informationconsists of bits with the value “0”. Dis-play text on an external display is thusreset.

Arming (Monitoring function)

The installation can be armed inter-nally or externally. Internally meansentering a four-digit PIN code directlyon the panel. This is defined via thesetting “Code for arming/disarming”.The code can however also be modi-fied by the user. To do so, the old codemust be entered once and the newcode must be entered twice.

Note:Please note the setting “Overwritecode at download”. If “yes” is selected,the code which has been modified bythe user is overwritten with the origi-nal code after each reconfiguration ofthe panel.

The system can be armed externallyvia a maximum of three 1-bit commu-nication objects “Arming ...”. Each ob-ject can be controlled via a separategroup address. This is necessary if thesystem should be armed from severalentry doors. It is defined via “Numberof entry doors” whether one, two orthree arming objects are displayed.

If the installation was armed external(e. g. over a key switch), it can be dis-armed over these or over the PIN-Code at the panel. If it will be disar-med over the PIN-Code, all objects(Arming 1 up to 3) will be reset. At thesame time the objects send the valuezero on the bus (to reset the activationdevice like e. g. a key switch).

Note:If the installation was armed over twoor three external activation devices, itcan be disarmed either central at thepanel over the PIN-Code, wherebyalso all external arming objects will bereset, or “all” external activation de-vices have been set to “disarmed” oneafter the other. After that the installati-on goes into the disarmed mode. Thena disarming switch at the panel is notnecessay.

When the system is armed, all the in-put objects must send the value “0”cyclically i.e. all the windows must beclosed and the movement detectorscannot report any movement. If theinput should not send any “0” valuescyclically due to a fault, the panel canbe acknowledged directly via the pa-nel or via the object “Failure reset in-puts” of the input i.e. removed from themonitoring. It is then possible to armthe system.

Lock Arming

The system can be armed via the first“Arming” object, the second object orthe third. The inputs are linked with anOR function. In addition, an “Activatearming” object is enabled via a corre-sponding parameter. If the object isvisible, arming is enabled with an ONtelegram. An OFF telegram disablesthe possibility of arming the system.

Once the panel has been armed, adelay period elapses until the panel isactually triggered by an input signal.The period is set via “Time delay atarming”. If e.g. the panel is located inthe entrance area of a house, the usermust still be given the opportunity toleave the house before the system isarmed. If this delay did not exist, inmany cases an alarm would alwaysbe triggered immediately after armingthe system.


Note:

A arming ist not possible if the para-meter „Type of Output“ is set to „1-Byte“.

Note:

In the status disarmed a triggered in-put with the setting „watch dog sen-sor“ opens no message on the dis-play.

April 2010 25


After power failure and return after-warwds an armed installation will notfall back in the disarmed status. Thismeans the installation switched auto-matically in the armed status.

Armed status (Monitoring function)

It is indicated via two 1-bit communi-cation objects that the system is in thearmed state. The object “Armed status”sends an ON telegram as soon as thesystem is armed (once the “Timedelay at arming” has elapsed). If thesystem is disarmed, the object sendsan OFF telegram. It would therefore bepossible e.g. for an LED of a switchsensor which is mounted at an entran-ce door to be switched.

The second object “Armed status flas-hing” must first be enabled via the cor-responding parameter. A telegram se-quence is then sent via this objectonce the system is armed so that e.g.an external lamp flashes three times.The user who has armed his housevia a key bolt contact is therefore in-formed before he reaches his housethat the system is now set. Dependingon the status of the actuator, six tele-grams are sent with the following use-ful information:

1 - 0 - 1 - 0 - 1 - 0 or0 - 1 - 0 - 1 - 0 - 1

Alarm (Monitoring function)

If an ON telegram is received at aninput in the armed state, the panel trig-gers an alarm. There are four differentalarm messages (objects).

Internal alarm:The internal alarm is triggered imme-diately and without a delay. An ON te-legram is sent to the 1-bit communica-tion object “Internal alarm”. This couldtrigger an additional horn in the houseor be linked with the alarm function ofthe panel itself. In the latter case, amessage and if necessary a signaltone is displayed/triggered at the pa-nel itself.

AlarmThe alarm is a continuous alarm andis sent via the 1-bit communicationobject “Alarm” with a time delay. The“Time delay as long as alarm release”can be set. A warning lamp for examp-le could be addressed via this object.Example:

A system has been armed directly onthe panel in the hallway. The user co-mes home and automatically triggersan internal alarm. He now has the“Time delay as long as alarm release”to prevent an acoustic signal e.g. anoutdoor siren.

Alarm impulseThe 1-bit object “Alarm impulse” isused to address a horn in front of thehouse. In the event of an alarm, thismay only be triggered for maximum 3min (legal regulation). This means thatan ON telegram is sent to the objectonce the “Time delay as long as alarmrelease” has elapsed. The period“Time of the external audio signal”now starts. If this has elapsed, an OFFtelegram is sent. The “Time of the ex-ternal audio signal” can be set to 1min, 2 min or 3 min.

Silent alarmThe silent alarm is retrieved by en-tering the PIN code for the silentalarm.Example:An intruder has entered the house inthe night and forces the owner to can-cel the alarm. Normally, the ownerwould enter the PIN code to deactiva-te the system and the system wouldbe disarmed. If he however enters thePIN code for the silent alarm, the ob-jects “Alarm”, “Internal alarm” and“Alarm impulse” are reset but the 1-bitcommunication object “Silent alarm”sends an ON telegram. A telephonedialling device or similar could beaddressed via this object.

The PIN code for the silent alarm isdefined in the panel software in a si-milar way to the PIN code for arming/disarming the system. The user canmodify the PIN code, whereby hepresses the touch surface that is assi-gned the monitoring function and re-trieves the function “Code for silentalarm” in the subsequent window(only visible in the disarmed state).

Note 1:It is possible to arm the Controlpanelover input of the silent alarm. The acti-vation of the silent alarm goes overthe input of the silent alarm agein. Todisable an active silent alarm is onlypossible over arming the installationagain.


26 April 2010


Note 2:An alarm can be reseted over the 1-Bit-communicationobject „Failure re-set inputs“. Therefore the input has tobe set to the status „off“.

Note 3:During a sabotage e. g. no cyclic si-gnal of the watch dog sensor no alarmwill be send out but a fault report.

Input failure if armed(Monitoring function)

If an input failure occurs while the sys-tem is armed, this does not trigger analarm. To inform the user about thisinput failure, there is the 1-bit commu-nication object “Inputs failure if ar-med”. In the event of faults, an ON te-legram is sent via this object.

Installation status (Monitoringfunction)

As soon as the status of the panelchanges, the new status is sent viathe object “Installation status”. The ob-ject is 1 bit or 14 bytes dependent onthe setting “Type of output variable”.The system knows two or three diffe-rent states depending on the objecttype.1-bit object type:– set/ready to set (value 0)– unset (value 1)

14-byte object type (output in cleartext):– unset– ready to set– set

The following table indicates whichvalues are sent for the different bit si-zes:

The magnetic contacts and the move-ment detectors are linked via groupaddresses/actions with the inputs ofthe panel. The switch/key bolt contactwith a group address is assigned toan arming object.

When the user leaves the house, hearms the system by locking up. If theexternal light is also controlled viaKNX, it can signal via the object “Ar-med status flashing” that the system isnow armed. If the user does not recei-ve a flashing status, he knows thatthere is a problem with the installation.A window is still open perhaps.

Up to 21 independent pages can becreated in the panel. Either 5 or 10touch surfaces or 8 symbols can berepresented on a page. Each touchsurface or symbol can be assignedone of the following functions:– Switch– Push button– Dimmer– Shutter– Lightscenes external input

(1 bit or 1 byte)– Macro number– Room thermostat– Values (1 byte or 2 byte)– Floating point value– Counter– Text– Hyperlink function

Alternatively, a page can be used forcontrolling media. If a page is assi-gned the media control function, ope-rating elements for the following me-dia are available (parameter setting:media device):– CD– TV– DVD– Video– Tuner

The operating elements for mediacontrol can adopt the push button anddimmer functions (see also the des-cription of the pushbutton and dim-mer). That means that if a page is assi-

gned the function of media control,“normal” KNX telegrams are sent viathis page. Media devices are requiredin addition which can evaluate thesepush button or dimmer telegrams.

Each touch surface can adopt variousfunctions. Depending on the set func-tion, the panel software displays diffe-rent communication objects and para-meters.

The “Name of touch surface” is alwayson the left-hand side of the touch sur-face. This can be freely assigned toeach touch surface with the corres-ponding parameter.

The status display is on the right-handside of the touch surface. This can eit-her be a symbol or text.

Note:

If a media control function used e. g.CD, a „1“ is send on the bus by pu-shing the button „Title back“. This hap-pens every time also if a „1“ was re-ceived over the bus before. This is nota toggle function.

If this button is “Active”, a windowopens when the touch surface is ope-rated. The “Name of touch surface”appears in the window as a heading.The buttons (designated here with“ON” and “OFF”) can be describedwith text or adopt symbols. This opera-tion mode is set by default (“Operati-on” parameter, “via pop-up window”).

Some touch surfaces can also send avalue directly on the bus (“Operation”parameter, “Direct”). That means thatno further windows are opened whenthe touch surface is pressed. Instead,the preset value e.g. “Send ON tele-gram” is sent directly. For some touchsurfaces, the panel detects in additionwhether the touch surface has beenpressed on the right- or left-hand side.Depending on the side that is pres-sed, the device is switched on or off,dimmed brighter or darker or a shutteris raised or lowered.

As soon as a touch surface is opera-ted, the panel sends a correspondingtelegram to the linked communicationobject. In some windows, a slide ruleappears in addition to the buttons. Ifthe button on the slide rule is set to anew position, the linked object alsosends the new value automatically.

If the status display or the button de-scription should adopt a symbol, it canbe selected from a pull-down menu.The panel software always indicatesall the context-related symbols. (Seealso the parameter listings of the indi-vidual functions)

If the predefined symbols are insuf-ficient, there is the possibility of inte-grating user-defined symbols in thepanel and then displaying them on theindividual touch surfaces or dialogwindows. They must previously beread in via the function “Edit”, “Mana-ge symbols...” (see also the functionsof the panel software “Inserting sym-bols”).

If user-defined symbols have beenimported, they can be selected under“Button description” or “Status display”with the setting ”User-defined symbol”.It is advisable to keep the previewwindow open in order to have directcontrol as to whether the importedsymbol matches the total image.

Page access

The jump to a single page can be con-trolled with a PIN. This means that theuser activates a touch button to jumpto a different page, but before thepage is displayed and can be opera-ted he must enter a four-digit code.

The default setting of this function isinactive, it must be activated for eachsingle jump via parameter „PIN codekey“. Four „Levels“ are available. Thefour levels have a hierarchical struc-ture; i.e. when a user knows the PIN oflevel 2 he can automatically operateall pages protected by level 1. Level 3has access to level 2 and level 4 to alllevels.

The PINs can be set via the systemparameters. The user can change theindividual PINs directly on the controlpanel. The changes are written intothe flash memory and are retainedwhen there is a bus or power failure.

The levels are set under the generalparameters since they apply to all pa-ges. (See also „Page access“ under„Control panel software functions“)

Switch

If the function of the touch surface isdefined as “Switch”, the panel sendsON or OFF telegrams via the associa-ted 1-bit object “Switch”.

In the default setting, the touch sur-face sends OFF telegrams when theright-hand side is pressed and sendsON telegrams when the left-hand sideis pressed. The method of operation ofthe touch surface can be inverted viathe parameter “Behaviour”.

An additional 1-bit communication ob-ject “Status feedback” can be enabledvia the parameter “Status display viastatus feedback”. If a switch actuatorhas a separate status feedback ob-ject, this additional object can be usedto check whether the actuator has ac-tually been switched. Otherwise, the


32 April 2010


confirmation is always displayed inthe panel that a touch surface hasbeen operated.

Note:The use of a status feedback objectshould be undertaken with care in Po-wernet installations since Powernettelegrams are sent at a slower speed(1200 Bit/s) than Twisted Pair telegrams(9600 Bit/s). The bus load must therefo-re be kept as low as possible for Po-wernet.

Push button

In the “Push button” function, a touchsurface has either one or two commu-nication objects. They can be 1-bit or1-byte objects. ON, OFF, TOGGLE orvalue telegrams can be sent on theKNX via the object or both objects.The number of objects is set via thecorresponding parameter while thesize of the communication objects isset via “Object type”.

For 1-bit communication objects, thepulse edge can be set individually. Inthe “Push button” function, there is a1-bit communication object “Switch”available for defined switching. ON,OFF or TOGGLE telegrams can besent on the KNX via this object.

The touch surface can thus be adap-ted to a wide variety of applications. Ife.g. inching mode should be imple-mented, the setting “Send on at risingedge, off at falling edge” should beselected.

In the 1-byte object selection, valuesfrom “0” to “255” or from “0%” to “100”can be sent via the push buttonfunction.

For the 2-byte object selection, tempe-rature values from -20° C to 100° Ccan be sent out in steps of 0.5° C viathe button function.

Via parameter „Status display viafeedback“ an additional 1-bit commu-nication object „Response (1-bit)“ canbe enabled. If a switching actuator hasa separate feedback object, the addi-tional object can be used to checkwhether the actuator has really swit-ched. On the touch surfaces alwaysthe the last received status is display-ed. Otherwise the panel will alwaysdisplay the confirmation that the touchbutton has been actuated.

Note:Feedback objects should be used withcare for Powernet installations becau-se Powernet telegrams are sent at alower speed (1200 bit/s) than twisted-pair telegrams (9600 bit/s). The busload should therefore be kept as lowas possible for Powernet.

Dimmer

With the “Dimmer” function, an ON orOFF command is sent to the 1-bit com-munication object “Switch” after ashort operation of the correspondingtouch surface. If the surface is opera-ted for a longer period, the panelsends commands for dimming brighteror darker to the 4-bit object “Dim”. Ifthe touch surface is released after along operation, the panel immediatelysends the command “Stop dimming”.

The behaviour of the buttons can beset. This means it is possible to dimbrighter or darker via the left or rightbutton (switch on, off or toggle).

The status display of the button canalso display the direct value(0%…100% or 0…255) as an alterna-tive to the text or symbol display. To doso, the 1-byte object of the touch sur-face must first be linked with that ofthe dimming actuator.

An additional 1-bit or 1-byte communi-cation object “Status feedback” can beenabled via the parameter “Status dis-play via status feedback”. If a switchactuator has a separate status feed-back object, this additional object canbe used to check whether the actuatorhas actually been switched or the per-centage value indicated by the dim-ming actuator output.


Dimmer with slider

When the surface of the „Dimmer withslider“ function is briefly pressed, anon or off command is signaled on the1-bit communication object „Swit-ching“. If the button is pressed longer,


April 2010 33


a sliding bar is displayed. When theslider is adjusted, telegrams with per-centage values are signaled on the 1-byte communication object „Value“.

The behaviour of the buttons can beset. This means it is possible to dimbrighter or darker via the left or rightbutton (switch on, off or toggle).

The status display of the button canalso display the direct value(0%…100% or 0…255) as an alterna-tive to the text or symbol display. To doso, the 1-byte object of the touch sur-face must first be linked with that ofthe dimming actuator.

An additional 1-bit or 1-byte communi-cation object “Status feedback” can beenabled via the parameter “Status dis-play via status feedback”. If a switchactuator has a separate status feed-back object, this additional object canbe used to check whether the actuatorhas actually been switched or the per-centage value indicated by the dim-ming actuator output.


Note:If a new value is received over the busduring a operation the updated valuewill be displayed after closing of theslider dialogue.

Shutter

In the “Shutter” function, the touch sur-face has two 1-bit communication ob-jects “Move” and “Step”. After a longoperation, the panel sends telegramsto the linked shutter actuators to raiseor lower the shutters. After a shortoperation, it sends telegrams to stopshutter movement or for louvre adjust-ment.

With the setting “Behaviour”, it is defi-ned whether the shutter moves up-wards or downwards when the right orthe left touch surface is pressed.

Two additional 1-bit or 1-byte commu-nication objects “Status feedback” canbe enabled via the parameter “Statusdisplay via status feedback”. In thecase of two 1-bit status feedback ob-jects, one of the objects is used to dis-play the state “Shutter UP“ and theother is used to display “ShutterDOWN”. The current actual position ofa shutter can be read at the 1-byte ob-ject. Shutter actuators which can sendtheir current status via additional com-munication objects are a prerequisitefor using status feedback objects.


The shutter function has an additionalcommunication object “Wind alarm”. Ifa wind alarm function has been inte-grated for example in the installationvia a weather station, the object canbe used to inform the user that a windalarm has been triggered. In the eventof a wind alarm (ON telegram), a pro-hibition sign appears on the push but-ton and the operation is disabled.

Lightscenes external input (1 bit)

In the function “Lightscenes externalinput (1 bit)”, the touch surface has a1-bit communication object. Two light-scenes can be sent via this object. Oneach operation of the pulse edge, theactive lightscene changes (from 0 to1, from 1 to 0).

Lightscenes external input (1 byte)

With the function “Lightscenes exter-nal input (1 byte)”, one of 32 lightsce-nes can be sent via a 1-byte commu-nication object. The setting “Lightsce-ne number” defines which lightsceneis sent.


34 April 2010


The user has the option of storinglightscenes himself. To do so, the pa-rameter “Store scene by long push”must be set to “possible”. After a longoperation of the touch surface (> 3 s),a bit is additionally set to “1” in the 1-byte lightscene telegram. A lightscenemodule (generally the SMARTtouchpanel) therefore knows that the reque-sted lightscene should be stored andnot retrieved. (See also “Functionaldescription: Lightscenes”)

Note:If lightscenes are called, which are putdown in the LEAN-/SMARTtouch pa-nel, the call should be made by aninternal group address. Take care, thatevery touch surface object, whichshould send out lightscenes, and thelightscene number object of the light-scene function, is linked via a com-mon internal group address. Whichlightscene number will be send outby the single touch surface, is set inthe parameters of the respective touchsurface.

Macro number

A touch surface can be linked with themacro actuator function via the “Macronumber” function, at best via an inter-nal address. The macro number whichhas been specified via the “Macronumber” setting is sent via the 1-bytecommunication object “Macro num-ber”.

A “new” macro can be stored via along push button action (approx. 3 s).This means that the user can save se-veral functions as a macro which hecontinually retrieves and thus all thestored functions can be retrieved insequence via a single operation of themacro touch surface.

In the “Save macros” mode, the paneldisplays a dialog after each executedfunction in which the user can define

whether or not he wishes to save thisfunction in the macro. At the sametime, he can finish the storing ofmacros in the same window. Up to 20functions can be stored in a macro.

Note:The macro function supports no recor-ding of touch surfaces which send va-lues on rising and falling edge (e. e.dimmer). The reason is the fixed delaytime which is used while playing tele-grams.

Value (1 byte, 2 byte)

The “Value” function causes the touchsurface to send value telegrams viathe associated “Value” object. Depen-ding on whether the function “Value (1byte)” or “Value (2 byte)” has been sel-ected, the communication object is 1byte or 2 bytes in size.

The 1-byte value function can displayor send the following physical varia-bles:– Brightness– Wetness (display only)– Volume– Value– Temperature offset– Current (display only)– Wind direction (display only)

The 2-byte value function has the fol-lowing variables by default:– Temperature– Illumination– Wind forceThe values will be send out direct du-ring the operation of the slide control.

The respective physical variables aredefined via the parameter “Displaytype”. There is also the possibility ofsetting the “Display type” to “free sca-

lable” for both values (1 byte and 2byte). Other values than the preset va-lues can thus also be displayed.

You can set the object value and thedisplay value separate over the selec-tion „freely scalable“. The object valueis the value, which is send out overthe 1-Byte- resp. 2-Byte-Object „Va-lue“. The maximum resp. minimum ob-ject value, as well as the smallestresp. largest display value can be setindividual (0…255 at 1-Byte, -99.999…+99.999 at 2-Byte). By this itis possible to show a larger value andat the same time the send out valueslimited on a smaller area.

With the freely scalable setting, it ispossible to parameterise the numberof decimal places, the minimum andmaximum object value and the mini-mum and maximum display value.

If the touch surface is pressed (“showand send”), the panel indicates a sliderule in the open window. The individu-al values can be set via this slide. Adisplay in the upper section of the win-dow indicates the exact value. The va-lue is adjusted upwards or down-wards by the smallest possible unitvia the fields “On” or “Off”.


Floating point value

With the “Floating value” function, atouch surface can display and/or senda value of -99,999 to +99,999. There isa 4-byte communication object “Floa-ting point value” available for thisfunction.

If the “Floating value” touch surface ispressed, the panel displays a sliderule and three buttons in the openwindow. Values can be set intuitivelyvia the slide rule by adjusting the con-trol button. Depending on the setting,the value can be increased or de-

creased via the buttons. The valueswill be send out directly during theoperation of the slide control.

The displayed or transmitted valuescan adopt up to three decimal places,depending on the setting. The defaultsetting is a percentage value(0…100%).

The object value and the display va-lue can be set separately in the para-meters. The object value is the valuewhich is sent via the 4-byte object“Floating point value”. The maximumor minimum object as well as thesmallest or largest display value canbe set individually (from-99,999 to +99,999). It is thereforepossible to display a larger value andto simultaneously limit the transmittedvalue to a smaller range.


Room thermostat

If the function of the touch surface isdefined as “Room thermostat”, thetouch surface is used to control aroom thermostat in order to changeoperating mode in the thermostat.

Since the room thermostat touch sur-face is an active button, a window withthree further buttons “Standby”, “Com-fort” and “Night” opens when it is pres-sed. Each of these three buttons has a1-bit communication object by default.The objects “Comfort/Standby”,“Night” and “Frost/heat protection” arelinked via a group address to objectswith the same names in a room ther-mostat.

Room thermostats in accordance withthe KNX standard have the option oftoggling between operating modes viaa 1-byte communication object. To beable to operate this room thermostat,the setting “Toggle operating modes”must be modified to “1 byte”. The size


36 April 2010


of the 1-byte value corresponds to theoperating mode in this case and isdefined in the same way in both thepanel and the room thermostats, inaccordance with the KNX standard.

The actual temperature can be readvia the pop-up window which opensonce the touch surface is pressed.This function must be activated be-forehand by the corresponding para-meters. The operating mode and theactual temperature are not only dis-played in the pop-up window but alsoon the button itself.

Note:The integrated room thermostat of thepanel is retrieved via a push buttonaction on the temperature display inthe bottom line of the display.

Counter

If a touch surface is assigned the func-tion “Counter”, it is used to indicatecounter contents. These can be countswith and without leading signs. It de-pends on the setting “Display type” asto whether the display has a leadingsign.

Three different bit sizes can be dis-playe
