fig-6

General

Enable use of scenes

Scene 1 / 2 / 3 / 4 (you must have the Enable use of scenes parameter enabled). Select the scene ID (values available from 0 to 63). If you wish to configure each scene from ETS, activate the System Preset parameter and configure the values of each parameter for the desired AC unit:

Value for On-Off: Select if you want to turn the AC unit on/off, or if you do not want to carry out any action.
Value for mode: Select if you want to change the AC unit’s operating mode, or if you do not want to carry out any action.
Value for fan speed: Select if you want to change the AC unit’s ventilation speed, or if you do not want to carry out any action.
Value vanes U-D: Select if you want to modify the position of the AC unit’s slats, or if you do not want to carry out any action.
Value for Setpoint: Select if you want to change the AC unit’s setpoint temperature (16 – 30°C), or if you do not want to carry out any action.

Inputs configuration

Enable the use of the Aidoo KNX digital inputs:

Input 1: Communication objects 87 and 88.
Input 2: Communication objects 89 and 90.
Input 3: Communication objects 91 and 92.

The objects will behave differently depending on the configuration of each input.
Parameters available for configuring each digital input:

Contact type. Defines the contact logic as Normally Open or Normally Closed.
Debounce time. Select the debounce time (in milliseconds) required for the system to recognize there has been a change in the contact.
Disabling input object. Select whether or not you want to enable the object that allows the input to be disabled if necessary (communication objects 48, 49 and 50). If yes, select whether you want to use Datapoint DPT 1.002 (0 = False) or DTP 1.003 (0 = Disable).
Function. Select the digital input function of the Aidoo KNX:
- Switching
- Send telegram after bus recovery. Select the action to be performed on this digital input after bus recovery (after a power failure): no action, off (0), on (1) or current status.
- Sending delay after bus recovery. If an action is selected, indicate the time delay for sending the telegram (in seconds).
- Value on raising Edge (contact activated). Select the action to be sent to the associated communication object, if it produces a rising edge (activated input): no action, off (0), on (1) or toggle.
- Value on falling Edge (Contact deactivated). Select the action to be sent to the associated communication object, if it produces a falling edge (deactivated input): no action, off (0), on (1) or toggle.
- Cyclical sending. Select if you want cyclical sending to occur depending on the status of the digital input: never, always, when the output value is Off, or when the output value is On.
- Period for cyclical sending (s). If cyclical sending is selected, indicate the time period (in seconds) for this cycle.
- Dimming
- Send telegram after bus recovery. Select the action to be performed on this digital input after bus recovery (after a power failure): no action, off (0) or on (1).
- Sending delay after bus recovery. If an action is selected, indicate the time delay for sending the telegram (in seconds).
- Mode for short (long) operation. Select the action for a short operation to be sent on a rising edge (activated input): toggle, off/decrease (0) or on/increase (1). A press and hold will result in either an increasing step or a decreasing step.
- Increasing step. Select the percentage of the increasing step that will be sent for a long operation.
- Decreasing step. Select the percentage of the decreasing step that will be sent for a long operation.
- Short/long operation limit (ms). Defines the time that must elapse for the object to interpret that a long operation has occurred (in milliseconds).
- Cyclical sending period in long operation (0-No cyclical sending) (ms). Defines the time (in seconds) during which the long operation must be executed.
- Shutter/blind
- Send telegram after bus recovery. Select the action to be performed on this digital input after bus recovery (after a power failure): no action, increase (0) or decrease (1).
- Sending delay after bus recovery. If an action is selected, indicate the time delay for sending the telegram (in seconds).
- Operation. Select the action to be sent on a rising edge (activated input): increase (0), decrease (1) or toggle.
- Method. Select the operating method for the shutter/blind: step-move-step or move-step.
- Step-Move-Step. On a rising edge (activated input) a step telegram will be sent and the counter defined in “Short/long operation limit (ms)” (counter 1) will start. Note: No action will be taken if a falling edge (deactivated input) occurs during this time. If the rising edge is maintained for longer than the time defined in counter 1, a move telegram will be sent and a second counter, defined in “Vanes adjustment time (ms)” (counter 2), will start. If a falling edge (deactivated input) occurs during the time specified in this second counter, a step telegram will be sent. Note: No action will be taken if a falling edge (deactivated input) occurs after this time.
- Move-Step. On a rising edge (activated input), a move telegram will be sent and counter 2 will start (“Vanes adjustment time” (ms)). If a falling edge (deactivated input) occurs during this time, a stop telegram will be sent. Note: No action will be taken if a falling edge (deactivated input) occurs after this time.
- Shot/long operation limit (ms). Defines the time that must elapse (counter 1) between a short operation and a long operation (in milliseconds).
- Vanes adjustment time (ms). Defines the time that must elapse (counter 2) before adjusting the slats or moving the shutter/blind (in milliseconds).
- Value
- Send telegram after bus recovery. Select if you want to send an action (fixed value) on this digital input after bus recovery (after a power failure) or if you do not want to send any action.
- Sending delay after bus recovery. If an action is selected, indicate the time delay for sending this telegram (in seconds).
- DTP to be sent. Select the type of DTP to be sent:
- DTP 5.010 (1 byte unsigned). Values: 0 … 255
- DTP 7.001 (2 bytes unsigned). Values: 0 … 655335
- DTP 8.001 (2 bytes signed). Values: -32768 … 32767
- DTP 9.001 (temperature). Values: 0 … 255
- DTP 12.001 (4 bytes unsigned). Values: 0 … 4294967295
- Value on raising edge (when contact activated). Defines the value to be sent when the contact is activated.
- Scene (internal). Activates a scene by activating the configured digital input.
- Scene when contact is activated. Select the scene that will be activated when the digital input is activated.
- Occupancy (internaal). Switches to Occupied mode when the configured digital input is activated.
- Window (internal). Activates the Window Contact timer when this digital input is activated.
