Functions
The functions table in the Channel Overview provides an overview of the channels of the device. Depending on the device the values in the table are read only or can be edited. The available types depend on the device and the application function.
Property | Description |
|---|---|
Name | Name of the channel. Read only. |
Type | Name of the function. |
Zone | Part of the geographical address of the device. Range: 1...126 |
Room | Part of the geographical address of the device. Range: 1...63 |
Subzone | Part of the geographical address of the device. Range: 1...15 Note |
Activate | Activate defines if the channel is activated.
|
The functions are described briefly in the table below.
Type | Description | Number of channels used |
|---|---|---|
Config | Config contains the configuration data of the activated application blocks. Read only. | 1 |
IBS | Indoor brightness sensor. Read only. | 1 |
LDSB | Light dimming sensor basic | 2 |
LSSB | Light switching sensor basic | 1 |
SSSB | Sunblind sensor basic | 2 |
System | System contains the device information that is mapped to the BACnet object peripheral device (PrphDev). Read only. | 1 |
Some of the functions can be configured. The properties of those functions are described below in order of their appearance in the drop-down list.
Indoor brightness sensor (IBS)
Property | Description | Default value |
|---|---|---|
|
Heartbeat | Heartbeat defines the time interval to send the value for indoor brightness if the value for indoor brightness did not change or the change was smaller than the value of the COV characteristic. See property COV lux. Range: | 900 |
Change of value, COV | Change of value, COV is used to calculate the actual COV from the measured indoor brightness. The actual COV and the COV lux are used to calculate the COV characteristic. Range: Example for Change of value, COV: 1 % Indoor brightness: 100 [lux] -> actual COV: 1 [lux]
| 1 |
COV lux | COV lux defines the lower limit of the COV for sending an update of the indoor brightness. COV lux and Change of value, COV define the COV characteristic. COV lux can be used to avoid frequent updates of the indoor brightness at low light levels because of noise of the sensor. Range: Example of COV characteristic (COVchar.) with Change of value, COV: 1 and COV lux: 5
| 5 |
Minimum repetition time | Minimum repetition time defines the minimal time interval before the next value for indoor brightness can be sent. Range: | 10 |
Light switching sensor basic (LSSB)
Property | Description | Default value |
|---|---|---|
Rising edge | Rising edge defines the switching behavior if a rising edge is detected.
|
|
Falling edge | Falling edge defines the switching behavior of the pushbutton if a falling edge is detected.
|
|
Light dimming sensor basic (LDSB)
Property | Description | Default value |
|---|---|---|
Dimming direction | Dimming direction defines how dimming up and dimming down are assigned to the buttons.
|
|
Shutter and blinds sunblind sensor basic (SSSB)
Property | Description | Default value |
|---|---|---|
Polarity inverse | Polarity inverse defines how moving up and moving down are assigned to the buttons.
