Parameters Input A/B

General

Parameters Settings
Debounce time 10 ms
30 ms
60 ms
90 ms
120 ms
When a push button is operated, a short bounce occurs
whereby the contact closes and opens several times until it
finally remains closed. The duration of the contact bounce
depends on the push button action that is used. Due to the
fact that the application software is able to scan the inputs
rapidly, any multiple push button operations would be de-
tected and several switching telegrams are therefore sent.
The debounce time prevents this as after the initial detection
of a change in the status at the input, there is a delay for the
set time and the current status is then used for further proc-
essing.
Limit number of disabled
telegrams enabled
It is possible to limit the number of telegrams that are sent per
time unit, so that a defective push button does not
continuously generate switching commands.
“disabled”: The number of telegrams sent is not limited.
“enabled”: The number of telegrams sent per time unit can be
limited. The parameter window changes and the parameter
“Limit number of telegrams” appears where the number of
telegrams that are sent in a time period can be set.
Limit number of 30 telegrams per 17 sec.
telegrams 60 telegrams per 17 sec.
100 telegrams per 17 sec.
127 telegrams per 17 sec.
Depending on the setting selected, a maximum of 30, 60, 100
or 127 telegrams are sent per 17 seconds.
The function and the parameters of inputs A/B, C/D and
E/F are identical.
Parameters Settings
Contact type normally open contact
normally closed contact
This parameter is used to set the contact type of the push
buttons that are connected at the inputs.
“normally open contact”: The push button contacts are oper-
ated when they are closed and not operated when they are
open.
“normally closed contact”: The push button contacts are
operated when they are open and not operated when they are
closed.
Function Dimming with stop tele-
gram
Dimming with cyclical sending
The function of the input pair can be set via this parameter.
“Dimming with stop telegram”: Briefly pressing the push but-
ton connected to input A produces On telegrams via object 0
while a short push button action at input B generates Off
telegrams via object 0. A long push button action at input A
produces a “Dim brighter” telegram via object 3. When the
push button is released, a stop command is sent. Input B
operates according to the “Dim darker” dimming direction.
“Dimming with cyclical sending”: A short push button action at
input A or B generates an On or Off telegram via object 0. A
long push button action at input A produces “Dim brighter”
telegrams for the duration of the push button action according
to the setting “Transmission frequency for cyclical sending”.
When the push button is released, the cyclical sending stops.
Input B operates according to the “Dim darker” dimming
direction.

Short push button action A = On, B = Off

The switching direction of inputs A and B is defined via this

parameter and cannot be modified. The parameter refers to a
short push button action when configuring “Dimming with stop
telegram” and “Dimming with cyclical sending”.
“A = On, B = Off”: A push button action at input A produces
On telegrams while a push button action at input B generates
Off telegrams.

The transmission frequency or rather the cyclic time is set
here. Dimming telegrams are continually sent for the duration
of the push button action according to the value that is se-
lected. The transmission frequency together with the step
width produces the dimming period. This must match the
dimming time in the actuator.
