I/O assignment (Details pane)
Some I/O's are assigned manually. Lighting and shading are typical disciplines that require project-specific assignments of I/O's. Also presence detectors and brightness sensors can be assigned
Assigning I/O's
I/O's can be assigned in two ways:
- Individually for each automation station in the I/O assignment tab of the Details pane of a room.
Assigning I/O's (areas) - Per application template in the I/O assignment task.
