1 - INTRODUCTION

Besides a short introduction to the philosophy behind SimpleHome by Comelit, this manual also provides a detailed description of the range of
home automation products currently available and the corresponding programming/configuration software.

1.1 - SIMPLEHOME: DISTRIBUTED INTELLIGENCE AND PROPRIETARY PROTOCOL

Creating a distributed intelligence home automation system guarantees the following:

- limited system costs, even for small installations such as single/two-family apartments, because - as with centralised logic systems - it is not
necessary to install a control unit;

- greater protection against potential system locking, due to the fact that if a module is locked (e.g. following a surge or flooding), only the
services (lights or buttons) served by that module will cease responding to commands, meaning that the rest of the system can continue to
run as normal;

- use of normal cables (even electrical cord, where permitted by law), limiting costs and material management: SimpleHome actually uses three
normal electrical wires sized in accordance with the length of the bus and the number of devices on the section. It should be noted, however,
that shielding offers greater protection from disturbances caused by magnetic fields.

The protocol used by SimpleHome was created by Comelit and is therefore not directly compatible with equipment made by other manufacturers;
in spite of this, however, it is possible to access module information (digital and analogue input status) and transmit commands to them (digital and
analogue outputs) using an interface (SerialBridge) that converts information and makes it available in accordance with universal ModBus protocol
(e.g. use with industrial operator panels or building supervision programs). Another interface of the same type (SerialBridge) can be connected to
the safety module, making it possible to monitor and control the alarm system using a third party terminal or program.

1.2 - SIMPLEHOME: MULTIFUNCTIONAL MODULES, DISTRIBUTED POWER SUPPLY

The Comelit SimpleHome home automation system does not require modules dedicated to specific functions, such as
rolling shutters or scenarios, as each bus device is multifunctional and can be programmed to carry out any task.
Moreover, some of the SimpleHome modules offer the option of on-board power outputs with the same number of digital inputs
available, optimising system configuration and significantly reducing the total cost.
The system power supply is provided by 24 Vdc 2A DIN bar power supply units, which can be fitted in parallel and
therefore distributed freely along the entire bus, meaning the bus sections can be significantly reduced (if the
electric loads are suitably balanced) and guaranteeing - where necessary - a backup system which is easy to create.

To guarantee efficient operation of the SimpleHome system, it must be sized correctly. To do so, proceed as follows:

1) establish the number of power supply units required, on the basis of the number and type of devices installed;

2) establish the correct cable cross-sections for the Bus sections as well as the inputs (commands) and outputs (loads), on the basis of the
number of power supply units used and how they are installed within the system.

Establishing the number of power supply units required:

A single SimpleHome bus power supply unit is capable of supplying 2A continuously (2.2A peak): to guarantee efficient operation of a system, its
nominal absorption must be established.

In fact, each SimpleHome device is powered directly by the 3-wire bus and therefore once the number and type have been identified, it will be
possible to look up the nominal absorption of the system using this table:

Total consumption

N.B. It is always wise to add a little in reserve (e.g. 30%) in order to guarantee system continuity in the event that one of the power supply units
experiences a fault.

Establishing the required cross-sections:

To reduce the cross-section of the bus backbones in use, we recommend that power supply units are distributed as close as possible to the device
groups with the greatest power absorption instead of being concentrated in one area (especially for modules on DIN bars).
In fact, the nearer the power supply to the electrical nodes with the greatest absorption, the lower the current running along the bus backbone.
According to Ohm's law (V = Rline x Iabsorbed), the lower the current circulating, the lower the drop in voltage.
In terms of voltage, to guarantee efficient operation of the SimpleHome system, the following rules should be observed:

1) power supply voltage of the devices on the bus = 24 Vdc +/- 5%

2) voltage, measured between the BUS DATA LINE wire and the BUS POWER SUPPLY NEGATIVE, should be greater than 4.7 V at every point in
the system (5 V is the optimum value).

N.B. If a device on the bus fails to communicate, apart from the various tests, we recommend measuring the voltage between the BUS DATA
LINE wire and the POWER SUPPLY NEGATIVE on the terminal board and making sure it is over 4.7 V. If it is not, we recommend installing a
power supply unit near the device.

5
If the power supplies are distributed correctly, to establish the type of cable and cross-sections to be used, follow the instructions below:

- Cable between button and module input: electrical cord, with minimum cross-section of 0.22 mm2 and maximum length of 20 m

- Cable between entrance modules (without on-board relay): electrical cord with minimum cross-section of 0.50 mm2

- Cable between modules with on-board relay or between junction boxes or panels (load nodes with greater absorption): electrical cord with
minimum cross-section of 0.75 mm2, preferably with screen at the negative of a single power supply unit (particularly in the presence of
inductive loads such as motors or neon lamps).

1.3 - COMMUNICATION TYPE

All devices communicate directly between themselves without a supervision/control unit, and therefore the communication time dos not vary as
the system expands: it takes the same amount of time for two modules speak to each other whether the system consists of 2 or 200 modules.

A SimpleHome system can be perceived as a set of several subsystems, each one capable of controlling up to 255 devices and a bus section up to
2 km long; individual subsystems do not require a supervisor, which on the other hand is necessary if the subsystems need to exchange information
between themselves.

Modules with inputs, when the status of one of these changes, send a single message which can be destined for:
- another module, to activate an output;
- a zone, i.e. to a group of common outputs belonging to the same group;
- to the supervisor, if complex scenarios are required or if the command needs to be sent to another SimpleHome subsystem.

To clarify the concept of the ZONE, let us consider the following example: all outputs (distributed across several modules) controlling the lights on
a floor or in a building belong to the same ZONE, and these can be controlled individually; alternatively, to switch them all off at once, simply use a
single button connected to an input module which will send an off message to ZONE1 and therefore to all users belonging to it.

1.4 - DIGITAL AND ANALOGUE MODULES

Modules with inputs and outputs can be divided into two macrofamilies:
- digital modules: have inputs which read an open or closed status (ON/OFF or 1/0) and outputs which control
an on or off status (ON/OFF);
- analogue modules: have inputs which read a scale of values (from 0 to 255) in 0-10 V voltage, such as temperature
sensors, and outputs which assume a variable value from 0 to 10 V (e.g. light dimmer adjustment).

Another difference between the various modules is the container:


- flush-mounted modules: generally used to collect status information for buttons/switches and send it over the bus; they also have
low-power outputs for checking local indicator lights or controlling local external relays;
- DIN rail modules: have relay power outputs for controlling electrical loads even at 230 Vac (lights, automations, etc.);
they also have on-board inputs which are the same as those on flush-mounted modules.

Finally, DIN rail modules differ in terms of relay power (6A or 16A) and due to the fact that the 6A modules use relays with
NO (normally open) contact and a common every 4 outputs, while 16A modules use voltage-free switching contacts
(each with its own common).

1.5 - MODULE IDENTIFICATION

Modules are all produced with the serial number 1, but several modules with the same serial number cannot be connected to the bus: the very first
thing that should be done is therefore to assign a different serial number to each module using the configuration program, as described in detail in
this manual.

We recommend never using serial number 1 in system configuration, so that you can always add an new module later on, as explained in the chapter
relating to configuration software.

1.6 - DIGITAL AND ANALOGUE INPUT OPERATING PRINCIPLE

To fully understand the system, it is vital to grasp what happens when a button is pressed or released (digital input closed or opened); every time
there is a change to an input, the corresponding module sends a message over the bus which, as mentioned previously, can be destined for various
recipients:
- a module and one or more of the outputs on it;
- a zone;
- the supervisor (touch pc or operator panel).

If the recipient is a module, its serial number and one or more of the outputs involved should be indicated, while if it is a zone, its identification
number should be indicated. Finally, if the recipient is supervisor, nothing else has to be indicated, as it is always open to bus communication and
will receive the command originating from the module, applying for example a programmed scenario.
The type of command transmitted by a module can be classified as follows:
- NORMAL: the output(s) receive the message and, if it is compatible with their profile, are activated, otherwise their status does not change;
- SET or RESET: the output(s) are forced into action, regardless of how they are programmed, so if a RESET command is sent, the output(s) are de-
energised.

Analogue inputs, on the other hand, can perform the following functions:
- ONLY ON DEMAND: the module constantly reads and logs the input value (converted into scale from 0 to 255), only sending it when requested (by a
supervisor, for example);
- SEND STATUS AUTOMATICALLY: the module constantly reads and logs the input value (converted into scale from 0 to 255), sending it at regular
intervals as specified;
- AUTOMATIC ACTIVATION ON SETPOINTS: if this function is used, up to 8 setpoints can be selected, meaning that when the measured value exceeds
or falls below these values a message is sent to a module/output, a zone or the supervisor, as if it were a digital module;
- BCD ROOM THERMOSTAT: this function is suitable for temperature sensor (20046708) connection, for the correct reading of the value in degrees
Centigrade. At each pre-set time interval, the module checks the difference between the measured value (with a resolution of 0.1°C) and the selected
setpoint (summer/winter, day/night/room empty) and sends the activation or deactivation command to a module/output.

1.7 - DIGITAL AND ANALOGUE OUTPUT OPERATING PRINCIPLE

Each digital output has a function associated with it. When an output receives a "Normal" message from an input, it carries out the programmed
function; otherwise, if it receives a forced command (SET or RESET), it carries out that command regardless of the function for which it was
configured. Being multifunctional modules, different types of output are available on a programming level.

DIGITAL OUTPUT TYPES

When the output receives an active input status (e.g. button pressed) it is activated, when it receives an inactive input
MONOSTABLE
status it is deactivated (e.g. doorbell or bathroom pull-cord).

When the output receives an active input status (e.g. button pressed), it changes its own status in turn. If it receives an
BISTABLE
inactive input status, it does not make any changes (e.g. lights). This type of output can only be controlled by buttons.

When the output receives a message from the input, regardless of whether it is an input active or inactive message, it
changes status (e.g. lights).
INVERTER
N.B. This type of output allows use of the bistable function if the command originates from switches, diverters or
inverters already present in the system instead of from buttons.

When the output receives an input active status, it is in turn activated, starting a timer; when the set time has elapsed,
it is deactivated automatically. If it receives an inactive input status, it does not make any changes (e.g. timed stair
TIMED
lights or boxes).
N.B. This type of output can only be controlled by buttons.

7
DIGITAL OUTPUT TYPES

When the dedicated output receives an active input status (e.g. down command), it is activated for a set period of
time and is then deactivated. If the other associated output (up) is activated, on the other hand (e.g. you ask a shutter
ROLLING SHUTTER to close while it is being opened), the up output is deactivated but the down output is not activated (the equivalent of
electro-mechanical locking functions used in traditional systems). In this case you will have to press the down button
again to activate the corresponding output. N.B. This type of output can only be controlled by buttons.

This type of output is used to represent the output status (e.g. light) on an indicator light, controlled by the input with
SHOW STATE the corresponding number and belonging to the same module (e.g if input 2 on module 1 controls output 3 on module
5, this means the Show State output 2 on module 1, will mirror the activation status of output 3 on module 5).

The electrovalve output is controlled by the temperature modules, to activate or deactivate the heating or air
conditioning, but if an Alarm input on the same module is open (e.g window left open), the electrovalve output is
ELECTROVALVE
opened (e.g. heating stopped) and commands originating from the temperature modules are no longer accepted until
the Alarm input has been closed again.

Used in hotel management: allows activation of room services after consent is obtained from the supervisor and the
ROOM POWER
activation card is inserted in the room.

Analogue outputs, on the other hand, have the following functions:

- FROM ANALOGUE INPUT: the output is set with the value read from the corresponding input (analogue) on the same module;

- FROM INPUT ON ANALOGUE MODULE: the output is set with the value read from an input (analogue) belonging to another module;

- DIMMER: allows adjustment, for example, of the brightness of a lamp; when it receives an active input status from a digital module (button
pressed) and then an inactive status within the next 2 seconds, it behaves exactly like a bistable output, positioning itself on the most recent
brightness setting when activated or turning itself OFF when deactivated; if, on the other hand, it does not receive the inactive status from the
input within 2 seconds, it continues to vary the brightness value between 0 and 255 and back again, until the button connected to the input
controlling it is released.

1.8 – SUPERVISORS

SimpleHome modules possess their own intelligence and therefore do not need a control unit; however, if the user needs a graphics interface to view
the status of his/her on system and adjust its operation as necessary, various supervision instruments can be used.

The main supervision device is the HomeManager software (art. 20054001), which allows interfacing with the home automation system, the alarm
control unit, the automation system, the CCTV surveillance system and access control readers, relaying the information on graphics screens such
as maps, etc. Interfacing with the automation system takes place by connecting a SimpleHome/RS232 converter between the system bus and the
supervisor serial port.

The security module for alarm management, fitted with a 4-wire bus which is different to the SimpleHome bus, interfaces through direct connection
of the control unit communication serial port to a second supervisor serial port.

The audio/video system is controlled by the supervisor via a third RS232 serial port to which it is connected. The video surveillance system or
cameras are acquired by the supervisor via Ethernet (TCP/IP). It is therefore necessary to use the cameras or webservers/DVR devices listed in the
HomeManager specifications.

N.B. Any RS232 serial ports can be converted to USB or TCP/IP using specific converters.

It is also possible to use several supervisors to control the same system: in this case the main supervisor will be connected to the various services
(home automation, security, audio, CCTV) and in turn to the Ethernet, through which the other supervisors (client or slave) will communicate with it.

It is also possible to connect to the main supervisor from an external HomeManager station, via the internet, after carrying out the relevant router
configuration procedures.

21
The module also offers the following functions:

a. Remote valve: in addition to the relay on board the thermostat, an external relay on one of the modules on the Din bar of the home automation
bus can be used to control a remote electrovalve. To enable this function, check the "Remote valve control" box (for summer or winter) in the
configuration program and enter the number of the module on which the relay is located. In this case, the relay must be number 1 on that
module. This relay follows the operation of the relay on board the thermostat.

b. Multi-speed: if multi-speeds are used (e.g. with a fan coil unit), the boxes “Speed” 1,2,3 must be checked (partial selection is also possible, e.g. 1
or 1 and 2). The corresponding relays are numbers 2, 3 and 4 on the same number module as used to control the remote valve (for summer and/
or winter). During configuration, it is possible to enter the moment, in tenths of a degree, at which the next or previous speed level cuts in (e.g if
Speed 1-2 = 20 (default), the selected setpoint is 20° and the temperature detected is 19°; speed level 1 is enabled. If the temperature detected
was 17°, speed level 2 would be enabled. If Speed 1-3 = 50 (default) and the temperature detected was 14°, speed level 3 would be enabled).

c. Analysis interval: it is possible to indicate the time interval between one temperature setpoint check and the next. After checking, the thermostat
sends the temperature reading over the network, in addition to any activation or deactivation commands for the electrovalves and speed levels.
This is set by default to 60 seconds. A shorter interval could, if several thermostats are present, disturb data communication.

d. Delta: defines the interval in tenths of a degree between an activation/deactivation command and a deactivation/activation command (e.g. if the
setpoint is 20° and the delta 5 tenths of a degree, in winter the boiler will switch off at 20° and switch back on at 19.5°). This is set by default to
4 tenths of a degree.

e. Correction: if the temperature reading taken in the room by another instrument is slightly different to that displayed by the thermostat due to the
installation position of the latter, a correction coefficient, measured in tenths of a degree (this can also be negative), can be applied and added
to the actual temperature reading. This is set by default to 0.

f. Winter/Summer selector: if using a climate control unit with an input for changing its operation between heating and cooling modes, this input
can be controlled by the output indicated in the configuration program. The output switches when the user, via the selector on the front panel
or the supervisor, sets the thermostat to winter or summer mode.

2.12 - ART. 20046821 - LOAD MANAGEMENT MODULE

The SimpleHome module 20046821 can be used to measure the power absorbed or produced over a single-phase system with a voltage
of 230 Vac. By installing this module in the SimpleHome system and connecting it to the BUS, it will be possible to view the power value
measured by the module on one of the supervisors (e.g. Planux Manager, Serial Bridge, Minitouch, etc.). In addition to simply recording
measurements, a list of loads can be set for the disconnection of digital outputs on the SimpleHome modules (connected, for example, to
controlled sockets) if the recorded consumption value exceeds the limit set during programming. This application is useful for ensuring the
energy supplier's thermal switch is not triggered. The outputs are disconnected in accordance with the specified order. After a certain period of
time (which can be programmed), the module will attempt to reactivate the outputs in reverse order. An absorption value can be set for each
of the loads entered on the control, so that reconnection only occurs at the very moment in which the power entered for that load is available
on the system.

A SimpleHome system output can be set so that when the load control intervenes, the output is activated to signal excessive consumption
and indicate any downtime caused by the disconnection of the outputs. It is also possible to set an instant disconnection setpoint on the
module; when this is exceeded the module will deactivate all specified outputs instead of disconnecting each output one-by-one with the
relevant control.

The module can be used to store information for the metering of recorded energy, and functions as a log. The total sum of the recorded power
values can be viewed by entering several devices on a single system. For this function to work, a compatible supervisor must be fitted to the
system.

Operation example:
Timed disconnection limit: 3500 W. Instant disconnection limit: 4000 W. Load 1: consumption 800 W, disconnection time 5 minutes. Load 2:
consumption 1500 W, disconnection time 5 minutes. When 3500 W is exceeded, the module will begin by disconnecting load 1,
followed by load 2. When the set disconnection time has elapsed, the module will attempt to reactivate the load disconnected most recently.
If in that instant the module reads a value of 2500 W it will not reactivate load 2, which has a consumption of 1500 W, to avoid exceeding the
set disconnection limit (3500 W); it will, however, reactivate load 1 as the consumption of this load will not cause the limit to be exceeded. The
module will then only reactivate load 2 when sufficient power is available on the system.
Tolerance and delta values must be taken into account, as they may cause the readings to vary by approximately 100 W.

60
This window is used for SIMPLEHOME system programming:

To create the first configuration for the system, proceed as follows:

1) After fitting the bus line and connecting the SIMPLEHOME/RS232 interface to the bus on one side and to the PC on the other, remove the bus
terminals from all the modules so that when programming begins none of the modules are connected, apart from the power supply units;

2) write the "serial number" on the label of each module in the range: this address must always be something other than the number 1 (the first time
they are powered up, all modules have the number 1 as their serial number) and different for each device;

3) make a note of the module you wish to program and then add it to the "tree menu" screen as follows: identify the device type (e.g. digital or
analogue, number of inputs and outputs) and move the mouse pointer to the corresponding item, then right-click on "Add module" (in the example
below, the flush-mounted digital module with 5 inputs will be added):

4) when the following window appears, enter the desired serial number (in this case) in the "Module number" box and write a short description of it;
then confirm by clicking the "Add" button:

N.B. any module added can always be deleted simply by hovering over it with the mouse pointer and right-clicking on the command "Delete
module".

5) at this point the screen will be updated to show the new device and its serial number will be listed alongside the description:

6) physically connect the device to the bus via the removable terminal and then click the "SERIAL NUMBER PROGRAMMING" button in the top
left-hand corner of the "tree menu" screen;

61
7) in the following window, enter 1 in the "Current serial number" field, and the number you wish to assign to the device in the "New serial number"
field; at this point, click the "Program" button:

8) return to the tree menu screen and click on the device being programmed again: it will now be possible to configure the inputs, scenarios and
other parameters in accordance with the on-screen instructions and rules provided directly by the software (if they do not appear, click the "Help"
button);

9) once the settings have been changed as desired, return to the first of the screens relating to device parameters ("General parameters", see figure
below): at this point click "Save", then "Send to module" and finally "Exit";

10) the device is now correctly addressed and programmed; repeat the process from step 3) onwards for all other devices to be configured.

N.B. this procedure must only be used the first time a system is configured or when a new device that has never been programmed before is
being entered; to reconfigure a system or devices which have already been programmed, use the procedure described below.

62
To modify the configuration of a previously archived system, proceed as follows:

1) while the system is running and connected to the PC via the SIMPLEHOME/RS232 interface, click the “OPEN INSTALLATION” command
on the main screen;

2) at this point the "tree menu screen" will appear, showing the current programming: click on the module you wish to reprogram and the device
configuration window will appear;

3) change the settings as desired and return to the first of the screens relating to device parameters ("General parameters"): at this point click
"Save", then "Send to module". Wait for the programming to complete, indicated by the progress status bar, and click "Exit".

N.B. this procedure can be used to reconfigure the module parameters, with the exception of the serial number; to change this, you will need
to use the "SERIAL NUMBER PROGRAMMING" command.

To modify the configuration of a system for which you do not possess the project file, proceed as follows:

4) while the system is running and connected to the PC via the SIMPLEHOME/RS232 interface, click the “NEW INSTALLATION” command
on the main screen;

5) a window requesting system data will appear. To continue, you must fill in all the fields (these are required to make the system unique and
traceable). At this point, if everything has been entered correctly, confirm by clicking "Create", or cancel everything and return to the main
screen by clicking "Exit". If the data is confirmed, the "tree menu screen", described in the chapter "TREE MENU SCREEN AND MODULE
PROGRAMMING", will appear. N.B. the tree will appear empty with no devices connected;

6) click the "Exit" button to return to the main screen;

7) click the "Query modules" button;

8) click the "Query modules" button in the window that appears;

the configuration of devices in the system is loaded onto the software, indicated by a progress status bar. The configuration of devices in the
system will be deleted;

9) once configuration reading is complete, click the "OPEN INSTALLATION" button, select the name of the system created previously and click
"Open";

10) at this point the "tree menu" screen showing the current programming will appear, from which the configuration can be modified and the
devices programmed as indicated in the paragraph " TREE MENU SCREEN AND MODULE PROGRAMMING".

N.B. this procedure can be used to reconfigure the module parameters, with the exception of the serial number; to change this, you will need
to use the "SERIAL NUMBER PROGRAMMING" command.

63
3.4 - MODULE PROGRAMMING

The settings and programmable operating modes are listed below, according to the type of module to be configured.

Digital modules

GENERAL PARAMETERS
MODULE NUMBER: indicates the module address or the serial number assigned by SimpleProg. Serial number assignment takes place
using the software with the "Serial number programming" function.
DESCRIPTION: indicates a description of the module, where you can enter the installation point and function of that module. The more
precise the description, the easier it will be to identify the module in the future, for example: Mod5 503 GF bathroom entry or Mod34
underground LIGHTS E.P. or even Mod35 GF shutters E.P. etc...
FIRMWARE VERSION: indicates the module firmware version. If a reading has never been taken from the module, this value remains set
to 1. The value 1 should not be considered the firmware version. To update this information with the current module firmware version,
we recommend taking a reading from the module as soon as it is added to the system, before moving on to the configuration of the
programming parameters. The module firmware version is also displayed on the "Search modules" screen.
SCENARIO COMMAND DELAY: this parameter can be used to set a delay time for the execution of the 8 commands relating to the
scenario input. This time only adjusts the time it takes to execute the commands carried out by the scenario input.
For example, if at the scenario input you set a first command to lower the shutter and a second to switch off a light, the execution of the
second command can be delayed using this time. If you set 3000 ms, the shutter will be lowered as soon as the button is pressed and
the light will only be switched off 3 seconds later.
MODULE DELAY: indicates the delay between receipt of a zone command and output switching, on receipt of a zone command. This
setting is used to delay the execution of commands to differentiate execution across various modules and therefore prevent the
generation of large amounts of data over the BUS.
For example, if you order a module to deactivate all outputs with a zone command and a delay of 2 seconds has been set, the outputs

64
will be deactivated 2 seconds after the command is received.
OUTPUTS DELAY: indicates the delay between activation of one output and the the next on receipt of a zone command controlling
several outputs belonging to the same module.
For example, if you order a module to deactivate all outputs with a zone command and a delay of 2 seconds has been set, the first
output will be deactivated, then the second 2 seconds later and so on.
BUTTON PRESS DURATION: indicates the time for which the input must remain closed in order to send the command. This delay applies
to all inputs on the module.
For example, if you want the button to perform the requested function only when held down for at least 4 seconds, simply set this time
to 4 s.
VENETIAN BLIND FUNCTION DELAY: indicates the time for differentiating the Venetian blind slat adjustment command from the command
used to open or shut them completely.
For example, if you set a delay of 1.5 seconds, you will be able to press the Venetian blind control button for a shorter length of time if
you wish to adjust the opening or closing angle of the slats to a smaller degree. If, on the other hand, you press and hold the button for
longer than 1.5 seconds, a total opening or closing command will be sent to the Venetian blind.
ENABLE MESSAGE RETRY: this tick can be used to set re-transmission of the command in the event that the module under control
does not respond. Under normal conditions, a single command is sufficient to control the output. If the message is not received by
the module, and therefore the module sending the command does not receive feedback that the command has been carried out
successfully, the command will be sent again up to a maximum of 3 times. We recommend that this tick is always enabled, for greater
security in terms of the commands sent.
ENABLE ZONE RETRY: this tick enables re-transmission if a zone command is used. Zone commands can be re-transmitted for a
maximum interval of 12 seconds. The zone command has no status response, as it is not possible to indicate the status of several
outputs. We recommend that this tick is always enabled if zone commands are used across the system.
ENABLE ZONE BROADCAST: this tick enables transmission, over the BUS, of the status of the outputs activated following a zone
command received by the module. We recommend enabling this tick when zone commands have been programmed for the system
and supervisors (for example Planux Manager, Serial Bridge, etc...) are installed. This re-transmission carried out by the module
receiving the command may be important in order to update the status of the outputs on the supervisors.

DIGITAL INPUTS
INPUT DESCRIPTION: enter a description indicating the type of command set for the input.
MESSAGE ADDRESSEE
MODULE + OUTPUT: the module + output function is used to control one or more module outputs from a digital input. When this
option is selected, you must enter the number of the module and output(s) you wish to control. This setting is also used to control
an analogue output on a 20046810 module connected to a dimmer module. Also in this case, the address of the 20046810 module
and the input number (1 or 2) will need to be entered.
ZONE: the function enables control of several outputs on different modules. This setting is used to send a command which switches
off all the lights in an apartment or lowers all the shutters, etc... To do this, the outputs must be assigned to the same zone or group
on the output settings screen.
For example, if you want to control all the lights, one zone (for example ZONE 5) must be assigned to all the outputs connected to

65
the lights, and then an input set as "Zone" in the message addressee field, entering zone number 5.
ZONE: the function enables control of several outputs on different modules. This setting is used to send a command which switches
off all the lights in an apartment or lowers all the shutters, etc... To do this, the outputs must be assigned to the same zone or group
on the output settings screen.
For example, if you want to control all the lights, one zone (for example ZONE 5) must be assigned to all the outputs connected to
the lights, and then an input set as "Zone" in the message addressee field, entering zone number 5.
SUPERVISOR: the supervisor function sends a command directly to the system supervisors, for example Planux Manager, Serial
Bridge, Minitouch. This command is used by the supervisors to activate internally stored commands, or to use the input status for
logic rules or other functions.
For example, if you want to use a button to activate a scenario stored in the memory of a Planux Manager or Minitouch supervisor,
you must set the input in this way. This also applies if you want to use an input status for a logic or link function on the serial bridge.
TYPE OF MESSAGE
NORMAL: the module sends a command to the addressee, controlling the output for which it was programmed.
For example, if you send a normal command to a timed output, the output will be activated for the set time; if you send a normal
command to an output set as bistable, the output inverts its status.
SET: the module sends a “forcing ON” command and the output is then activated independently of the programming, remaining
active until a new command is sent. The SET command does not affect outputs set as "Rolling shutter".
For example, if you want to send an activation command to a group of lights, the SET command type must be set; this switches
on any lights which are off and leaves those already switched on running. If a SET is sent to an output set as timed, the output is
activated and will remain active until a new command is received.
RESET: the module sends a “forcing OFF” command and the output is then deactivated independently of the programming,
remaining inactive until a new command is sent. If the RESET command is sent to an output programmed as "Rolling shutter", the
relay is not activated and the shutter to which it is connected will not move.
For example, to send a deactivation command to a group of lights, the RESET command type must be set; this switches off any
lights which are on and leaves those already switched off inactive.
ALARM: this is used to send a deactivation command to an electrovalve output which takes priority over commands arriving from
thermostats, temperature sensors or Minitouch devices. This command is usually used to deactivate a climate zone if a window is
opened, to prevent the heating or air conditioning from running unnecessarily.
BADGE HOLDER: this command is used to activate an output configured as "Room power". When the input is opened, after the time
set for the output, the output reopens.
For example, in a hotel room the badge holder is connected to an input configured as "Badge holder". This means when you enter
the room and insert the badge, the output set as "Room power" is opened and the power supply in the room is activated. At the
output, after the badge is removed, the timer starts counting down a room exit period. Once this has elapsed, the power supply
output is deactivated.

66
DIGITAL OUTPUTS
MONOSTABLE: set this option if the output needs to be activated when the input closes, and deactivated when the input opens. Every
time the input opens or closes, a SET or RESET command is sent. This function can be used for the outputs to which a ringtone is
connected, such as a bathroom pull-cord or doorbell. If 2 or more inputs are set to control the same output when any of the inputs are
closed, the output is activated; if any of the inputs are opened, the output is deactivated. This means that if both inputs are closed and
the output is open, when an input is opened the output is deactivated, even if the second input is closed. The last command sent is
taken into consideration without analysing the status of the remaining inputs. Every time the input is opened, a SET command is sent
to the set output, while every deactivation causes a RESET command to be sent.
INVERTER: set this function to make the output switch every time there is a change to one of the inputs programmed for the control of this
output. This option can be used to carry out commands, for example, from switches, diverters or inverters. If two switches are connected
to 2 different inputs, every time one of them switches the output will also be switched. For example, starting from a condition where the 2
switches are open and the output inactive, when the the first switch connected to input 1 is closed the output will be activated. When the
second switch is closed the output will be deactivated and so on for every change in any of the inputs. Every time the input is switched
a NORMAL command is sent to the configured output.
BISTABLE: set this function to switch the output with a pulse at the configured input. This function allows control of the output using
traditional buttons connected to the digital input. Every time the button is pressed and released the output inverts its status. The
command is activated when the button is pressed, yet no command is carried out when it is released. If, for example, 2 buttons are
used to control the same output set as bistable, the following applies: when the first button is pressed the output is activated, when the
second button is pressed the output is deactivated. If you press and hold the first button the output is activated; if you continue to press
and hold the first button and press the second button, the output is deactivated.
ROLLING SHUTTER: this option can be used to control a shutter or an automated device with a dual output (opening and closing). If
output 1 is selected as rolling shutter, the second output will also be set as rolling shutter as there must be 2 outputs used to control a
shutter and since this function creates a lock between the 2 outputs to prevent simultaneous activation of the up and down outputs. If
the outputs are set as ROLLING SHUTTER, a time (in seconds) must be entered. This time corresponds to the approximate up and
down movement time of the shutter. We recommend entering a time slightly longer than the period taken for the shutter to open or close,
as mechanical shutter locking must be guaranteed by the mechanical stop limit of the motor and not by the activation of the output on
the module. If you leave a time of 0 the outputs will be activated for 0.5 seconds. The shutter can only be controlled with 2 buttons, one
for upward movement and the other for downward movement. Starting with the shutter raised, if you press the down button the shutter
will begin to lower for the programmed amount of time. If you want to stop the shutter at any time, press the button for the opposite
movement, i.e. if the shutter is closing simply press the button for opening. At this point, while the shutter is not moving, you can press
either the opening or closing button to set it in motion again. Every time the shutter is activated, in any position, the timer resumes its
countdown. The commands carried out for outputs configured as ROLLING SHUTTER must be NORMAL, if sent to one of the two
outputs used to control opening or closing, or RESET, if you want to stop the shutter. SET commands are not recognised by the module
for outputs configured as ROLLING SHUTTER.

67
TIMED: this option is used to connect timed procedures such as the stair light, outputs for the irrigation valve, a hallway light or other
functions. When a button configured to control the timed output is pressed, the output is activated and then, once the time has elapsed,
deactivated. It is not possible to invert output operation or activate the output by setting a delay. When the output is set as TIMED, the
activation time (in seconds) must be entered. If you enter a time of 0 seconds he output will be activated for 0.5 seconds, which is
useful for the activation of an electric lock on a gate or other similar functions. To activate a timed output so that it switches off after the
programmed time, the digital input configured for control must send a NORMAL command. If a RESET command is sent the output
will be deactivated, whatever its condition at that moment. If a SET command is sent the output will be deactivated in any case at the
end of the timed period.
If a time of 0 seconds is set the output will be activated for 0.5 seconds.
SHOW STATE: this option allows an output to be configured to follow the status of a second output on another module. This setting is
usually used in order to have a button indicator light identifying the status of a light located in a different room and connected to a second
module. This setting can be used to create an OR function between outputs which should activate an output on another module as a
result of the condition. This could be applied to a zone heating system where there are 5 zone valves all connected to the same module
(for example module 10, outputs 1, 2, 3, 4, 5) and an output controlling the boiler connected to module 11, output 4. You want to activate
the boiler when any of the 5 valve outputs activates and deactivates when all 5 outputs are inactive. In this case output 4 on module
11 should be configured as SHOW STATE; to set which outputs it should follow, the relevant input must be set as if it were controlling
these outputs. Therefore input 4 on module 11 should be set as MODULE+OUTPUT, module number 10, OUTPUTS 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. This
configures the boiler output to follow the status of the 5 zone valve outputs. This function requires all the valve outputs to be on the same
module and the boiler output to be on a different module. Digital modules with firmware 5.6 or earlier offer this OR function on max. 7
outputs on the same module. From version 5.8 the function is available on all 8 outputs on a digital module.
ELECTROVALVE: the electrovalve function allows connection of a temperature control system electrovalve so that the output is
deactivated when a digital input, configured as ALARM, opens (for example, where the magnetic contact of a window is connected)
and is activated when the input closes again. It is also possible to set a time from which the input will be closed again to when the
output is activated. This function can be used, for example, in a hotel room. If there is a magnetic contact on the window, connected to
a digital input on a module and configured as ALARM, when this input is opened the ELECTROVALVE output set during configuration
will be deactivated. When the magnetic contact closes again, after the time set for the ELECTROVALVE output has elapsed, the
output will be reactivated. This function requires the ELECTROVALVE output and ALARM input to be on the same digital module. The
ELECTROVALVE outputs are not displayed during Planux Manager and Minitouch supervisor configuration, as for temperature control
and adjustment the thermostats or temperature sensors are controlled and, in turn, will control the relevant configured outputs.
If an input configured as alarm is opened, the electrovalve output opens. If the input is left open, the corresponding output cannot be
used in another way even if reprogrammed.
It is therefore necessary to reconfigure an input controlling the output as alarm and then open and close the input.
ROOM POWER: the ROOM POWER function is usually used to provide a power supply for services within a room, i.e. on/off devices,
controlled sockets, etc... when the user enters and inserts the badge into a badge holder; the power supply is cut off when the badge
is removed, with an exit time programmed before the services are deactivated. This function is enabled on closure of a digital input on
the same module, configured to control the ROOM POWER output with a BADGE HOLDER command. In this configuration the output
activates when the BADGE HOLDER input associated with that output closes, and reopens when the input reopens, after the time set
for the ROOM POWER output. This time period allows the user to leave the room after removing the card from the badge holder, i.e.
having opened the input.
VENETIAN BLIND: this option allows control of a Venetian blind with dual output (opening and closing), with the option of adjusting the
slats between different positions with step-by-step activation across the two outputs. If output 1 is set as Venetian blind, the second
output will also be set as Venetian blind as there must be 2 outputs used for control and since this function creates a lock between the
2 outputs to prevent simultaneous activation of the up and down motion. If the outputs are set as VENETIAN BLIND, a VENETIAN
BLIND FUNCTION DELAY must be entered on the general parameters screen, to indicate the delay time for pulse control of the slats
or for the general opening and closing of the Venetian blind. This time is set by default to 1.5 seconds and therefore if you press the
opening button for less than 1.5 seconds you will start pulse adjustment of the Venetian blind, which will open the slats in steps, only
while the button remains pressed. If you press it for longer than 1.5 seconds, total opening will begin for the amount of time set for the
output. The time set for the output corresponds to the approximate up and down movement time of the Venetian blind. We recommend
entering a time slightly longer than the period taken for the Venetian blind to open or close, as mechanical Venetian blind locking must
be guaranteed by the mechanical stop limit of the motor and not by the activation of the output on the module. If you leave a time of 0
the outputs will be activated for 0.5 seconds. The Venetian blind can be controlled with a supervisor or with 2 buttons, one for upward
movement and the other for downward movement. If you want to stop the Venetian blind at any time, press the button for the opposite
movement, i.e. if the blind is closing simply press the button for opening. At this point, while the Venetian blind is not moving, you can
press either the opening or closing button to set it in motion again. Every time the Venetian blind is activated, in any position, the timer
resumes its countdown. The commands carried out for outputs configured as VENETIAN BLIND must be NORMAL, if sent to one of
the two outputs used to control opening or closing, or RESET, if you want to stop the blind. SET commands are not recognised by the
module for outputs configured as VENETIAN BLIND.

68
SCENARIO INPUT
The scenario input, present on all modules with digital inputs, can be used to send 8 different commands over the BUS. For example,
it is useful if you want to switch off all the lights in the home, lower all the rolling shutters, deactivate the controlled sockets, etc... In
this case, several commands are required and sent over the BUS; the scenario input can be used for this purpose. When the button
connected to the scenario input is pressed, the 8 commands are carried out consecutively; the time between one command and the
next can be set (0.5 seconds by default).

69
Pulse meter module

INPUTS
INPUT DESCRIPTION: enter a description of the device connected to the input.
FUNCTION: set meter input if the pulse meter input is used.
PULSES PER INCREMENT: enter the number of pulses which will cause the meter value to rise.
QUANTITY TO ADD: enter the value to be added to the meter for each step.
For example, if you connect the input to a pulse water meter which generates a pulse every 2 litres, you will need to enter 1 in the pulses
per step field and 2 in the amount to add field. This means that for every 1 pulse, the meter count will increase by 2.

70
Analogue modules

Analogue modules can be used to read and set a signal between 0 and 10 V, and therefore make it possible to have an adjustable
value which varies over time. The analogue inputs are usually used for the connection of sensors with a 0-10 V output, such as
brightness level sensors, humidity sensors, temperature sensors, etc... The only device integrated into the Comelit system capable of
providing a 0-10 V signal is the temperature sensor 20046708. When using the temperature sensor connected to the analogue input
the supervisor can be used to check, view and set the temperature measured by the sensor (in degrees Centigrade). If using other
devices or temperature sensors, it will not be possible to view the recorded value on the supervisors or set/adjust the intervention
setpoints.
The analogue outputs (for example, on module 20046810) are usually used for the connection of dimmers with a 0-10 V input, and
therefore for brightness control.
For dimmer operation, the 0-10 V output must be set up for the "Dimmer" function. Control of a 0-10 V output on the 20046810 module
for the adjustment of a dimmer, for example, must be carried out either from a supervisor or from a common digital input programmed
to control the 20046810 module with the relevant output 1 or 2. It is not possible to control the 2 outputs on the 20046810 module
simultaneously when adjusting the brightness from a single digital input, i.e. from one button.

GENERAL PARAMETERS
DESCRIPTION: indicates a general description of the module, where you can enter the installation point or general function of that
module.
MODULE NUMBER: indicates the module address or the serial number assigned by SimpleProg. Serial number assignment takes place
using the software with the "Serial number programming" function.
FIRMWARE VERSION: indicates the module firmware version. If a reading has never been taken from the module, this value remains set
to 1. The value 1 should not be considered the firmware version. To update this information with the current module firmware version,
we recommend taking a reading from the module as soon as it is added to the system, before moving on to the configuration of the
programming parameters. The module firmware version is also displayed on the "Search modules" screen.
MODULE DELAY: indicates the delay between receipt of a zone command and output switching, on receipt of a zone command. This
setting is used to delay the execution of commands to differentiate execution across various modules and therefore prevent the
generation of large amounts of data over the BUS.
For example, if you order a module to deactivate all outputs with a zone command and a delay of 2 seconds has been set, the outputs
will be deactivated 2 seconds after the command is received.
OUTPUTS DELAY: indicates the delay between activation of one output and the the next on receipt of a zone command controlling
several outputs belonging to the same module.
For example, if you order a module to deactivate all outputs with a zone command and a delay of 2 seconds has been set, the first
output will be deactivated and the second 2 seconds later.

71
ENABLE MESSAGE RETRY: this tick can be used to set re-transmission of the command in the event that the module under control
does not respond. Under normal conditions, a single command is sufficient to control the output. If the message is not received by
the module, and therefore the module sending the command does not receive feedback that the command has been carried out
successfully, the command will be sent again up to a maximum of 3 times. We recommend that this tick is always enabled, for greater
security in terms of the commands sent.
ENABLE ZONE BROADCAST: this tick enables transmission, over the BUS, of the status of the outputs activated following a zone
command received by the module. We recommend enabling this tick when zone commands have been programmed for the system
and supervisors (for example Planux Manager, Serial Bridge, etc...) are installed. This re-transmission carried out by the module
receiving the command may be important in order to update the status of the outputs on the supervisors.

INPUTS
HIGH-PRECISION ROOM THERMOSTAT: this option allows you to view and adjust the temperature of the temperature sensor 20046708
connected to module 20046707.
AUTOMATIC ACTIVATION ON SETPOINTS: this option can be used to select setpoints (4 upward and 4 downward) for the 0-10 V input, for
the activation or deactivation of an output when the specified setpoint is exceeded. For example, it can be used to activate an output
when a certain brightness level is detected by a 0-10 V dawn/dusk sensor. This means it is possible to activate 4 different outputs when
the value recorded by the 0-10 V input increases, and deactivate the same (or different) outputs when the 0-10 V signal decreases. The
value recorded by the analogue input is converted to an 8-bit value, from 0 to 255. The value recorded and converted to an 8-bit format
cannot be viewed on the supervisor devices.

OUTPUTS
OUTPUT DESCRIPTION: enter a general description of the device connected to the corresponding output.
TYPE OF USAGE: set the operating mode for the 0-10 V analogue output.
FROM ANALOGUE INPUT: this option can be used so that the 0-10 V output on the module is followed by the corresponding 0-10 V input
on the same module. If the 0-10 V input is adjusted, for example to 5 V, the output will also adjust until it reaches the 5 V value. If output
2 on the module is set as "from analogue input", the output will follow the status of input 2.
FROM INPUT ON ANALOGUE MODULE: this option, as with the previous option, can be used to create a 0-10 V output that follows the
status of a 0-10 V input. In this case the input should not be on the output module, but on a different module (for example, an input
on module 20046707). Every change to the analogue input results in an identical change to the output. The module number and the
number of the input on the module which should be displayed when controlling the output must be set in the "module" and "Input" fields
on the same programming screen.
DIMMER: the setting used most frequently for the 0-10 V output is “dimmer”, as it enables connection of the 0-10 V output to a dimmer
with a 0-10 V input and therefore allows control of a light source such as a dimmer with the option of control and adjustment from a

72
normal button connected to a digital input on a module.
If "Dimmer" mode is set, you will also need to set the "Start dimmer" value. The "Start dimmer" value can be set between 0 and 255,
and corresponds to the 0-10 V output value converted to 8-bit format. It enables the setting of a minimum value for the 0-10 V output;
the output will never be adjusted under this value.
This option can be used to "cut" downward adjustment and achieve more continuous adjustment of the output, and therefore the lamp,
without "dead" time with the lamp switched off.
ZONE: set the number of the zone to which you want to associate the analogue output. All the outputs associated to the same zone will
be controlled by the same command. This option is useful if you want to switch off all the lights using a single button. In this case all the
lights which should be controlled simultaneously by one button will be set with the same zone number. The same procedure can be
set via a scenario programmed on a supervisor (for example, Planux Manager or Minitouch) which is activated when a button, which
should be set as "Supervisor", is pressed.

73
Climate control

20004100 SENSOR CLIMATE ZONES, Minitouch Thermostat.


THERMOSTAT DESCRIPTION: enter a description of the climate room which appears on the supervisor.

WINTER - SUMMER STATUS OUTPUT: this field indicates the module number and the output number to control in order to make the
climate zone switch automatically between winter and summer modes. If the output is inactive, winter operating mode will be set; if the
output is activated, on the other hand, summer operating mode will be set. This output is used to set all the climate zones automatically
in summer or winter mode as the status of the set output changes. The activated output can be controlled, for example, by a switch
connected to a digital input or a supervisor.
ZONE FOR DAY - NIGHT - EMPTY SET: a zone number can be assigned to one of the 3 day, night or empty setpoints. This means it is
possible, by closing a digital input for example, to select the same setpoint on all thermostats or Minitouch units in the system.

74
ZONE FOR WINTER - SUMMER SET: a zone number can be assigned to one of the 2 summer or winter setpoints. This means it is possible,
by closing a digital input for example, to set the same mode on all thermostats or Minitouch units in the system.
INTERVAL: indicates the time in seconds required to send setpoints and temperature settings entered on the Minitouch over the BUS.
These transmissions update the supervisors as to the status of the Minitouch (e.g. temperature readings). We recommend leaving this
entry set to the default value (5 minutes).
DELTA: indicates the thermostat output activation interval, in tenths of a degree. For example, if this is set to 4 tenths of a degree (default
value) and the thermostat is set to 20°C in winter day mode, it will activate the relay until the temperature of 20°C is reached. After
switching off, it will be reactivated when the temperature drops below 19.6°C (20°C - 0.4°C). In summer mode, operation is reversed
and therefore if a setpoint of 20°C is selected, the thermostat will activate cooling mode until the temperature drops to 20°C. After
switching off, it will be reactivated when the temperature exceeds 20.4°C.
CORRECTION: this value, in tenths of a degree, can be used to adjust the measuring process for the on-board temperature sensor, if
installed in specific conditions, e.g. near draughts, or in flush-mounted boxes which are especially cool.
For example, if the sensor on board the Minitouch records a temperature of 18.8°C but the actual temperature in the room is 19.0°C,
this value can be set to 2. This means the displayed temperature will always be 0.2°C above the value measured by the sensor.
SPEED 1-2, 1-3 DELTA: these values, in tenths of a degree, indicate the temperature difference, in relation to the selected setpoint,
required for activation of speed level 2 or speed level 3 in fan coil mode. If using a 3-speed convector heater, you can adjust these 3
speed levels according to the set and measured temperatures.
For example, if the temperature is set to 22°C with default values of 10 and 20, the convector heater will be activated at speed level 1 if
the temperature measured in the room is between 22°C and 21°C; if the temperature is between 21°C and 20°C, speed level 2 will be
activated and if the temperature measured is lower than 20°C speed level 3 will be activated.
ON-BOARD OUTPUTS: set this option if you want to use the on-board outputs, the control relay for a climate zone (boiler or electrovalve)
and the 3 potential speed levels for the convector heater. The 3 outputs controlling the 3 convector heater speeds (50 mA - 24 Vdc) are
low-voltage and as such should be connected to a power relay.
MODULE + OUTPUT: set this option to control, at the temperature sensor, a boiler or electrovalve connected to a module output over the
BUS. Set the module number and the output number.
REMOTE VALVE: set this option if you want to control a multi-speed convector heater connected to a module over the BUS. In this case
the first 4 module outputs on the installed module will be reserved for this function. Set the number of the module you wish to use and
specify which of the 3 speeds will be used.
For example, if you select "Remote valve" and set the module number to 2, output 1 on module 2 will be used for consent and activation
of the temperature control machine, while outputs 2, 3 and 4 on the same module will be used to control the 3 speed levels. Output 2
for speed level 1, output 3 for speed level 2 and output 4 for speed level 3.
DAY - NIGHT - EMPTY SETPOINT: select the setpoint and the zone to which the various operating modes will be applied. If a supervisor
panel such as Planux Manager or Minitouch is used, we recommend that none of these setpoints are selected.

75
Load management module

76
TIMED CUT-OFF: if the power setpoint is exceeded for the "Delay sending deactivation command" indicated in the advanced settings, the
module begins to cut off the loads entered on the list.
Immediate cut-off: if the power setpoint is exceeded, the module cuts off all loads entered on the list.
After any type of cut-off the module begins counting down a time period set in the "Time OFF" field, then begins reconnection in the
reverse order to which cut-off took place.
LOAD DESCRIPTION: enter a general description of the load. The description is shown in the "Loads" menu on the supervisor.
MODULE: enter the number of the module to which the load in question is connected.
OUTPUT: enter the number of the output to which the load in question is connected.
CONSUMPTION: enter the anticipated consumption for the entered load. This value is only used during reconnection, to prevent
continuous connection and disconnection of loads. We recommend entering the average consumption and not the maximum power
value. The value should never be greater than the value set for the disconnection setpoints minus the tolerance and delta values.
TIME OFF: enter the time for which the selected load will remain disconnected before an attempt to restore the power is made.
NC/NO: set by default to NO, should not be changed if using SimpleProg version 3.2.0 or later. If using previous versions, enter the
type of connection carried out for the selected load, NO if the load is connected to the NO terminal of a module and NC if the load is
connected to the NC terminal of a module.
If using SimpleProg version 3.2.0 or later, you can set the output connection type when programming the output on the module screen.
If you set NC for the module output and NC on the load control module screen, the two settings will be in conflict and operation will take
place as though the NO setting has been selected.
Delay sending activation command: enter the time period which must elapse between reconnection of one of the disconnected loads
and the next.

81
3.5.4 - CONFIGURING A MINITOUCH THERMOSTAT

Thermostat description: enter a description of the climate zone which appears on the supervisor.
Winter/Summer status output: this field indicates the module number and the output number to control in order to make the
Mintouch switch automatically between winter and summer modes. If the output is inactive, winter operating mode will be set; if the
output is activated, on the other hand, summer operating mode will be set.

Zone for Day / Night / Empty set: a zone number can be assigned to one of the 3 day, night or empty setpoints. This means it is
possible, by closing a digital input for example, to select the same setpoint on all thermostats or Minitouch units in the system.

Zone for Winter / Summer set: a zone number can be assigned to one of the 2 summer or winter setpoints. This means it is possible,
by closing a digital input for example, to set the same mode on all thermostats or Minitouch units in the system.

Interval: indicates the time in seconds required to send setpoints and temperature settings entered on the Minitouch over the BUS.
These transmissions update the supervisors as to the status of the Minitouch (e.g. temperature readings). We recommend leaving
this entry set to the default value (5 minutes).

Delta: indicates the thermostat output activation interval, in tenths of a degree. For example, if this is set to 4 tenths of a degree
(default value) and the thermostat is set to 20°C in winter day mode, it will activate the relay until the temperature of 20°C is reached.
After switching off, it will be reactivated when the temperature drops below 19.6°C (20°C - 0.4°C). In summer mode, operation is
reversed and therefore if a setpoint of 20°C is selected, the thermostat will activate cooling mode until the temperature drops to 20°C.
After switching off, it will be reactivated when the temperature exceeds 20.4°C.

Correction: this value, in tenths of a degree, can be used to adjust the measuring process for the on-board temperature sensor, if
installed in specific conditions, e.g. near draughts, or in flush-mounted boxes which are especially cool.
For example, if the sensor on board the Minitouch records a temperature of 18.8°C but the actual temperature of the room is 19.0°C,
this value can be set to 2. This means the displayed temperature will always be 0.2°C above the value measured by the sensor.

Speed 1-2 1-3 Delta: these values, in tenths of a degree, indicate the temperature difference, in relation to the selected setpoint,
required for activation of speed level 2 or speed level 3 in fan coil mode. If using a 3-speed convector heater, you can adjust these 3
speed levels according to the set and measured temperatures.
For example, if the temperature is set to 22°C with default values of 10 and 20, the convector heater will be activated at speed level 1

82
if the temperature measured in the room is between 22°C and 21°C; if the temperature is between 21°C and 20°C, speed level 2 will
be activated and if the temperature measured is lower than 20°C speed level 3 will be activated.

On-Board Outputs: set this option if you want to use the on-board outputs, the control relay for a climate zone (boiler or electrovalve)
and the 3 potential speed levels for the convector heater. The 3 outputs controlling the 3 convector heater speeds (50 mA / 24 Vdc)
are low-voltage and as such should be connected to a power relay.

Module + Output: set this option to control, at the temperature sensor, a boiler or electrovalve connected to a module output over the
BUS. Set the module number and the output number.

Remote valve: set this option if you want to control a multi-speed convector heater connected to a module over the BUS. In this case
the first 4 module outputs on the installed module will be reserved for this function. Set the number of the module you wish to use and
specify which of the 3 speeds will be used.
For example, if you select "Remote valve" and set the module number to 2, output 1 on module 2 will be used for consent and
activation of the temperature control machine, while outputs 2, 3 and 4 on the same module will be used to control the 3 speed levels.
Output 2 for speed level 1, output 3 for speed level 2 and output 4 for speed level 3.

Day / Night / Empty Setpoint: select the setpoint and the zone to which the various operating modes will be applied. If a supervisor
panel such as Planux Manager or Minitouch is used, we recommend that none of these setpoints are selected.

3.5.9 - MANAGING SYSTEM MODULES

All installed modules are managed on the "Modules" tab.

The editable cells on this screen will be highlighted in yellow.

N.Mod
This column indicates the number assigned to the module within the system.

N.In
This column indicates the number of the input used on the module.

N.Out
This column indicates the number of the output used on the module.

Module description
The description on the module is provided in this column.

Supervisor Description
This column determines the text displayed on the Planux Manager / Minitouch monitor for each module output.

Input/Output Type
Set the usage type for the corresponding module, in the case of load and consumption control module 20046821:
CT if the module only needs to manage load disconnection;
CT+Meter if the module, besides load management, needs to display the consumption or module production data on the
supervisor;
Meter if the module does not control or disconnect the loads but simply generates the graphics used to display consumption data.

Consumption/Production
Set if the selected input records a production (for example a photovoltaic system for energy production) or consumption value.
Cost
Set a tariff per unit of measurement set in the "unit of measurement" field. In the case of a load and consumption module, the cost
per kWh should be entered as the tariff. SimpleProg only has one tariff, while different tariffs can be set on the supervisor according
to time bands and days of the week.

89
Currency
Set the currency used when metering consumption on the supervisor.

Group
Different energy meter modules can be included in one group to create a single display. For example, in the case of a three-phase
system there may be 3 load and consumption control modules; these may be included in the same group in order to create a single
chart showing the total of the 3 consumption values on the supervisor. To add a group press the "+" button at the top of the column
and enter the name of the group you wish to create. In the group field, select the name of the group created previously or select
"Single device" if the value recorded is not part of a group and should generate its own chart.

Scale factor
For inputs connected to pulse meter modules, a divider can be set to customise the display according to the values recorded by the
meter with pulse output used. For example, if you are using a water meter which counts the litres and generates a pulse for every litre,
and if you want the supervisor to display the cubic metres (1000 litres), you need to set the display divider to 1000.

CO2 constant
In the case of electricity production systems, it is possible to set the CO2 constant saved by the system producing the energy. If there
are several inputs set as production (for example, in a three-phase photovoltaic system), they must all be set with the same value.
The value can subsequently by modified through the supervisor menu. The CO2 graphic is automatically displayed by the supervisor
when a chart representing energy production is present.

View single
This field must be selected, when the input has been assigned to a group, if as well as the chart relating to the selected group you
also want to view a chart for the individual input. For example, if you are using 2 load and consumption modules, 1 to display electrical
socket consumption and 1 to display lighting consumption, you can create a group which includes both and which generates a chart
by adding the consumption values for the two modules together. If the "View single" field is selected for both, the two individual charts
for the two load and consumption modules will be shown in addition to the general chart.

Comparison
Different charts set as both production and consumption can be assigned to a single chart to make a comparison between the energy
produced and consumed by the system. If in the "Comparison" field you select 3 modules recording consumption and one module
recording the energy produced, a chart with the title "Comparison" is generated on the supervisor; this superimposes all the energy
consumed by the selected modules over the energy produced by the selected production module. This display offers at-a-glance
understanding of whether more energy has been consumed than has been produced or vice-versa in the different options displaying
data on a daily, monthly or annual basis, or even using the information logged in the last 5 months.

Activation
This column determines the situation in which the conditioned scenario will be activated depending on the input status (see paragraph
3.5.10).

Rooms
This column determines to which room in the home the module output will be assigned.

Name Associated Scenario


This column determines the name of the conditioned scenario which will appear on the Planux Manager / Minitouch monitor (see
paragraph 3.5.10).

Unit of measurement
Enter, for inputs connected to pulse meter modules only, the unit of measurement for the value recorded and used in supervisor
charts and tables. For example, "l" for litres if a water meter is fitted, m3" for cubic metres of methane if a methane meter is fitted. It is
not necessary to set a unit of measurement for electricity meters as the reading is taken in Watts.

90
3.5.10 - CREATING A CONDITIONED OUTPUT

To use the Conditioned Output function, at least one input on one of the digital modules installed must be set as supervisor.

The conditioned output makes it possible to stop the timers set for that output on the supervisor, depending on the status of an input
on a digital module set as supervisor.
Conditioning is activated by the Planux Manager / Minitouch.
1. On the Modules tab, click the icon + corresponding to the output you wish to condition.

• The table in the top left-hand corner of the screen lists the available Supervisor inputs.
• The details relating to the output being conditioned are provided in the top right-hand corner.
• The various conditioning criteria are provided at the bottom.
2. Fill in the conditioning criteria boxes.
Below you will find some examples of output conditioning based on 1 Supervisor input:
Example 1

If input 1 is ON, the conditioned output will not be activated automatically by the timer.
Example 2

If input 1 is OFF and input 2 is OFF, the conditioned output will not be deactivated automatically by the timer.
Example 3

If one of the two inputs is ON, the conditioned output will not be activated automatically by the timer.
3. Click Add condition to save and exit.
Th text "ok" will appear to confirm that conditioning has been completed successfully.

91
3.5.11 - CREATING A CONDITIONED SCENARIO

A conditioned scenario is a scenario sent by a supervisor and applied when the input associated with it opens or closes.

To create a Conditioned Scenario, at least one digital input on one of the modules installed must be set as supervisor.

The scenario is activated and configured by the Planux Manager / Minitouch.


1. On the Modules tab, identify the Supervisor input you wish to use for the Conditioned Scenario.
2. In the relevant Input/Output Type cell, set the value as Scenario.

3. In the relevant Activation cell, set the parameter in accordance with the function performed by the sensor connected to the input.
If set to ON, the scenario will be activated when the input is closed. If set to OFF the scenario will be activated when the input is open.

4. In the relevant Name cell, type the name you wish to assign to the scenario.
» This name will appear in the list of conditioned scenarios on the Planux Manager monitor.

3.5.12 - CREATING AN ALARM SCENARIO

An alarm scenario is a scenario sent by a supervisor and applied when a set function takes place. For example, if you want the lights
to switch off when a sensor does not detect anyone in the room for 6 seconds.

} On the Alarm Scenarios tab, press Add Scenario.

1. Enter the name you wish to assign to the scenario.


2. Press OK.
» This will be the name which appears on the Planux Manager / Minitouch monitor display in the conditioned scenarios.

92
3. Select the activation time.
» The scenario will be activated when the sensors remain in the set status for longer than the specified time period.

4. Select the operator (OR / AND).


» If the operator OR is selected, the scenario will be activated when even just one of the wired / radio zones remains in the set status
for longer than the specified time period.
» If the operator AND is selected, the scenario will only be activated when all of the wired / radio zones remain in the set status for
longer than the specified time period.

93
5. Select the wired / radio zones and the status to be linked with the scenario.

In the case of the scenario that has just been created:


» The name of the scenario appearing in the list of conditioned scenarios on the Planux Manager / Minitouch monitor will be "Alarm
Scenario".
» It will be activated if both "Entrance Door" and "Sitting Room Window" are open for 60 seconds.

3.5.13 - CREATING THE SUPERVISOR CONFIGURATION FILE

Once all parameters have been set for the system, the configuration file for the Planux Manager monitor must be created.

1. On the Supervisor tab, press Save and Send.


» The text "Save successfully completed!" will appear.

2. Press OK.

94
3. Select which configuration to export.
For example, only from one of the Planux Manager or Minitouch devices in the system.
4. Press Export.

5. Select the export directory (for example, the SD or MiniSD card inserted in supervisors).
6. Press OK.
The following example illustrates how to export the configuration directly onto the Planux Manager monitor SD card. The configuration
can be saved wherever you like and the files manually copied to the SD card afterwards. The export procedure produces a folder
called "config", which must be copied and pasted in the root directory of the SD card.

95
If there is already a folder called config in the selected directory:
A Overwrite the existing folder
B Repeat the export procedure, selecting a different directory.

» The text "Export successfully completed!" will appear.


1. Press OK.

6th edition 09/2013 code 2G40000964

If the SD card has not been selected as the export directory:


1. copy the config folder created
2. paste it into the root directory on the card.
2. Carry out a Reset Configuration or Update Configuration process on the Planux Manager / Minitouch monitor (see Planux
Manager manual, page 52) to apply the settings.
Caution: if the reset configuration or total reset option is selected, the timer, scenario and key configurations will be reset
and will need to be created once again.

96
3.6 - ADDING A ONE - ONE/E MODULE

Caution: the entire system must have been configured before programming the One module.
1. Open the file corresponding to the desired system.
2. Right-click on the One icon.
3. Left-click on the Add button.

4. Enter a short description of the module.


5. Enter the serial number in the "Module number" field.

The serial number should match the number set using the dip switch on the module (see One technical manual).
6. Click on Add module.

97
3.6.1 - GENERAL ONE - ONE/E MODULE PARAMETERS

GENERAL PARAMETERS
MODULE NUMBER: indicates the module address or the serial number assigned by SimpleProg. Serial number assignment is carried
out using the dip switch on the back of the ONE module.
DESCRIPTION: indicates a general description of the module, where you can enter the installation point or general function of that
module.
FIRMWARE VERSION: indicates the module firmware version. If a reading has never been taken from the module, this value remains
set to 1. The value 1 should not be considered the firmware version. To update this information with the current module firmware
version, we recommend taking a reading from the module as soon as it is added to the system, before moving on to the configuration
of the programming parameters. The module firmware version is also displayed on the "Search modules" screen.
SCENARIO COMMAND DELAY: this parameter can be used to set a delay time for the execution of the 16 commands relating to the
scenario input. This time only adjusts the time it takes to execute the commands carried out by the scenario input.
For example, if at the scenario input you set a first command to lower the shutter and a second to switch off a light, the execution
of the second command can be delayed using this time. If you set 3000 ms, the shutter will be lowered as soon as the button is
pressed and the light will only be switched off 3 seconds later.
ENABLE MESSAGE RETRY: this tick can be used to set re-transmission of the command in the event that the module under control
does not respond. Under normal conditions, a single command is sufficient to control the output. If the message is not received
by the module, and therefore the module sending the command does not receive feedback that the command has been carried
out successfully, the command will be sent again up to a maximum of 3 times. We recommend that this tick is always enabled, for
greater security in terms of the commands sent.
ENABLE ZONE RETRY: this tick enables re-transmission if a zone command is used. Zone commands can be re-transmitted for a
maximum interval of 12 seconds. The zone command has no status response, as it is not possible to indicate the status of several
outputs. We recommend that this tick is always enabled if zone commands are used across the system.
ENABLE ZONE BROADCAST: this tick enables transmission, over the BUS, of the status of the outputs activated following a zone
command received by the module. We recommend enabling this tick when zone commands have been programmed for the system
and supervisors (for example Planux Manager, Serial Bridge, etc...) are installed. This re-transmission carried out by the module
receiving the command may be important in order to update the status of the outputs on the supervisors.

98
3.6.2 - CUSTOMISING THE ONE - ONE/E MODULE

CUSTOM SETTINGS
GRAPHICS VIEW: this menu can be used to load / delete a previously saved graphics view, save a new one or save any changes
made to the one that is currently open.
By graphics view we mean the button layout on the various One device screens and the colours associated with them. The
Command Configurations box settings will not be saved. This function can be used, for example, when you intend to install
several ONE modules in a system and replicate the same graphics configurations such as LED provision and colour settings.

STATUS FEEDBACK / PRESSURE FEEDBACK: if Pressure feedback is selected, the light for the button will change colour to indicate
that it has been pressed, and will then return to its original state. If Status feedback is selected, the button will change colour
according to its current status (active or inactive).

COLOUR SETTINGS: this menu can be used to set all module buttons to the same colour in a single action. This function takes priority over the settings
performed manually on each individual LED.

SOUND PRESSURE FEEDBACK: if this option is activated, the module will emit a sound every time a button is pressed or the active screen changes.

KEY BRIGHTNESS: if the Ambient light sensor function i activated, the key brightness will be adjusted automatically in accordance with the level of light
in the environment. The Light intensity menu can be used to manually select the intensity of the keys from 3 options (high, medium, low).

ENERGY SAVING: if the Standby function is activated, the ONE control device will switch off key lighting after 5 seconds of inactivity, in order to save
energy.

99
3.6.3 - CONFIGURING ONE MODULE SCREENS

The ONE control device has 3 screens that can be programmed with 3 different functions:

• Automation management
• Scenario management (max. 1 screen per device)
• Climate management (max. 1 screen per device)

3.6.3.1 - AUTOMATION MANAGEMENT

AUTOMATIONS/SCENARIO/CLIMATE: select the Automations function in this menu.

SCREEN 1 INDICATOR: this menu can be used to customise the colour of the screen indicator (this appears in the top right-hand
corner of the device), assigning one colour to the screen when it is active and another when the screen is inactive.
COMMANDS: this drop-down menu can be used to specify what is to be shown on the display for each sector (max. 3): buttons (1,
2 or 3) or arrows.
COMMAND CONFIGURATION: this menu changes depending on the number of buttons or arrows selected in the previous step.
INPUT DESCRIPTION
Field used to enter a short description of the function or the module managed by the button/arrow.
MESSAGE ADDRESSEE

MODULE + OUTPUT: the module + output function is used to control one or more module outputs. When this option is selected,
you must enter the number of the module and output(s) you wish to control.

ZONE: the function enables control of several outputs on different modules. This setting is used to send a command which
switches off all the lights in an apartment or lowers all the shutters, etc... To do this, the outputs must be assigned to the same
zone or group on the output settings screen.
For example, if you want to control all the lights, one zone (for example ZONE 5) must be assigned to all the outputs connected
to the lights, and then an input set as "Zone" in the message addressee field, entering zone number 5.

100
SUPERVISOR: the supervisor function sends a command directly to the system supervisors, for example Planux Manager, Serial
Bridge, Minitouch. This command is used by the supervisors to activate internally stored commands, or to use the input status
for logic rules or other functions. You must set the number of the supervisor input to send.
For example, if you want to use a button to activate a scenario stored in the memory of a Planux Manager or Minitouch
supervisor, you must set the input in this way. This also applies if you want to use an input status for a logic or link function on
the serial bridge.

DIMMER: the function is used to control a dimmer module. Press the button once to activate / deactivate the light connected to
the module. Press and hold the button for 1 second; the intensity wheel used to adjust the light intensity will appear. When this
option is selected, you must enter the number of the module and output(s) you wish to control.

RGB: the function is used to control an RGB light managed by a DALI-DMX module 20004600. Press the button once to activate
/ deactivate the light connected to the module output. Press and hold the button for 10 seconds; the colour wheel used to adjust
the colour of the RGB lights will appear. Press the arrows to adjust the light intensity. When this option is selected, you must
enter the number of the module and output(s) you wish to control.

TYPE OF MESSAGE
NORMAL: the module sends a command to the addressee, switching the output for which it was programmed.
For example, if you send a normal command to a timed output, the output will be activated for the set time; if you send a normal
command to an output set as bistable, the output inverts its status.

SET: the module sends a “forcing ON” command and the output is then activated independently of the programming, remaining
active until a new command is sent. The SET command does not affect outputs set as "Rolling shutter".
For example, if you want to send an activation command to a group of lights, the SET command type must be set; this switches
on any lights which are off and leaves those already switched on running. If a SET is sent to an output set as timed, the output
is activated and will remain active until a new command is received.

RESET: the module sends a “forcing OFF” command and the output is then deactivated independently of the programming,
remaining inactive until a new command is sent. If the RESET command is sent to an output programmed as "Rolling shutter",
the relay is not activated and the shutter to which it is connected will not move.
For example, to send a deactivation command to a group of lights, the RESET command type must be set; this switches off any
lights which are on and leaves those already switched off inactive.

ANALOGUE ON: the module sends the activation command to the set analogue output, bringing the output to the last temporary
value set. This is used, for example, to switch on dimmable lights connected to modules Art. 20046810 or Art. 20046851.

ANALOGUE OFF: The module sends the off command to the set analogue output. This is used, for example, to switch off dimmable
lights connected to modules Art. 20046810 or Art. 20046851.

101
3.6.3.2 - SCENARIO MANAGEMENT
The scenario input can be used to send 16 different commands over the BUS. For example, it is useful if you want to switch off all
the lights in the home, lower all the rolling shutters, deactivate the controlled sockets, etc... In this case, several commands are
required and sent over the BUS; the scenario input can be used for this purpose. When the button connected to the scenario input
is pressed, the 16 commands are carried out consecutively; the time between one command and the next can be set (0.5 seconds
by default).

AUTOMATIONS/SCENARIO/CLIMATE: select the Scenarios function in this menu.

SCREEN 2 INDICATOR: this menu can be used to customise the colour of the screen indicator (this appears in the top right-hand
corner of the device), assigning one colour to the screen when it is active and another when the screen is inactive.
INPUT DESCRIPTION
Field used to enter a short description of the function or the module managed by the button/arrow.
MESSAGE ADDRESSEE

MODULE + OUTPUT: the module + output function is used to control one or more module outputs. When this option is selected,
you must enter the number of the module and output(s) you wish to control.

ZONE: the function enables control of several outputs on different modules. This setting is used to send a command which
switches off all the lights in an apartment or lowers all the shutters, etc... To do this, the outputs must be assigned to the same
zone or group on the output settings screen.
For example, if you want to control all the lights, one zone (for example ZONE 5) must be assigned to all the outputs connected
to the lights, and then an input set as "Zone" in the message addressee field, entering zone number 5.

SUPERVISOR: the supervisor function sends a command directly to the system supervisors, for example Planux Manager, Serial
Bridge, Minitouch. This command is used by the supervisors to activate internally stored commands, or to use the input status
for logic rules or other functions. You must set the number of the supervisor input to send.
For example, if you want to use a button to activate a scenario stored in the memory of a Planux Manager or Minitouch
supervisor, you must set the input in this way. This also applies if you want to use an input status for a logic or link function on
the serial bridge.

102
TYPE OF MESSAGE
NORMAL: the module sends a command to the addressee, controlling the output for which it was programmed.
For example, if you send a normal command to a timed output, the output will be activated for the set time; if you send a normal
command to an output set as bistable, the output inverts its status.

SET: the module sends a “forcing ON” command and the output is then activated independently of the programming, remaining
active until a new command is sent. The SET command does not affect outputs set as "Rolling shutter".
For example, if you want to send an activation command to a group of lights, the SET command type must be set; this switches
on any lights which are off and leaves those already switched on running. If a SET is sent to an output set as timed, the output
is activated and will remain active until a new command is received.

RESET: the module sends a “forcing OFF” command and the output is then deactivated independently of the programming,
remaining inactive until a new command is sent. If the RESET command is sent to an output programmed as "Rolling shutter",
the relay is not activated and the shutter to which it is connected will not move.
For example, to send a deactivation command to a group of lights, the RESET command type must be set; this switches off any
lights which are on and leaves those already switched off inactive.

ANALOGUE ON: the module sends the activation command to the set analogue output, bringing the output to the last value.

ANALOGUE OFF: The module sends the off command to the set analogue output.

SET ANALOGUE: can be used to bring the brightness or analogue output to the set value which appears alongside it.

SET RGB: this command is used to set the colour of an RGB light as desired, using the field which appears alongside it.

3.6.3.3 - CLIMATE MANAGEMENT


The climate management screen can be used to control the temperature sensor on board the ONE module or an external sensor,
for temperature adjustment up to +3° / -3°C in steps of 0.5°C in relation to the last set point selected, using the thermostat
adjustment screen.

AUTOMATIONS/SCENARIO/CLIMATE: select the Climate function in this menu.

SCREEN 3 INDICATOR: this menu can be used to customise the colour of the screen indicator (this appears in the top right-hand
corner of the device), assigning one colour to the screen when it is active and another when the screen is inactive.
Thermostat description: enter a description of the climate zone which appears on the supervisor.

On-board sensor: select this option if you intend to use the temperature sensor on board the ONE module.

External sensor: select this option if you intend to use an external sensor. In this case, you will have to specify the number of the
module and the number of the input to which the sensor is connected (e.g sensor art. 20004100).

103
Winter/Summer status output: this field indicates the module number and output number required to display the type of operation
set for the climate zone. If the climate zone is set to winter mode, the output is disabled; if on the other hand the zone is set to
summer mode, the output is enabled.
Interval: indicates the time in seconds required to send setpoints and temperature settings entered on the Minitouch over the BUS.
These transmissions update the supervisors as to the status of the Minitouch (e.g. temperature readings). We recommend leaving
this entry set to the default value (5 minutes).

Delta: indicates the thermostat output activation interval, in tenths of a degree. For example, if this is set to 4 tenths of a degree
(default value) and the thermostat is set to 20°C in winter day mode, it will activate the relay until the temperature of 20°C is
reached. After switching off, it will be reactivated when the temperature drops below 19.6°C (20°C - 0.4°C). In summer mode,
operation is reversed and therefore if a setpoint of 20°C is selected, the thermostat will activate cooling mode until the temperature
drops to 20°C. After switching off, it will be reactivated when the temperature exceeds 20.4°C.

Correction: this value, in tenths of a degree, can be used to adjust the measuring process for the on-board temperature sensor, if
installed in specific conditions, e.g. near draughts, or in flush-mounted boxes which are especially cool.
For example, if the sensor on board the Minitouch records a temperature of 18.8°C but the actual temperature of the room is 19.0°C,
this value can be set to 2. This means the displayed temperature will always be 0.2°C above the value measured by the sensor.

Speed 1-2 1-3 Delta: these values, in tenths of a degree, indicate the temperature difference, in relation to the selected setpoint,
required for activation of speed level 2 or speed level 3 in fan coil mode. If using a 3-speed convector heater, you can adjust these
3 speed levels according to the set and measured temperatures.
For example, if the temperature is set to 22°C with default values of 10 and 20, the convector heater will be activated at speed level
1 if the temperature measured in the room is between 22°C and 21°C; if the temperature is between 21°C and 20°C, speed level 2
will be activated and if the temperature measured is lower than 20°C speed level 3 will be activated.

Module + Output: set this option to control, at the temperature sensor, a boiler or electrovalve connected to a module output over
the BUS. Set the module number and the output number.

Remote valve: set this option if you want to control a multi-speed convector heater connected to a module over the BUS. In this
case the first 4 module outputs on the installed module will be reserved for this function. Set the number of the module you wish to
use and specify which of the 3 speeds will be used.
For example, if you select "Remote valve" and set the module number to 2, output 1 on module 2 will be used for consent and
activation of the temperature control machine, while outputs 2, 3 and 4 on the same module will be used to control the 3 speed
levels. Output 2 for speed level 1, output 3 for speed level 2 and output 4 for speed level 3.

Zone for Day / Empty set: a zone number can be assigned to one of the 2 day or empty setpoints. This means it is possible, by
closing a digital input for example, to select the same setpoint on all thermostats or Minitouch units in the system.

Zone for Winter / Summer set: a zone number can be assigned to one of the 2 summer or winter setpoints. This means it is
possible, by closing a digital input for example, to set the same mode on all thermostats or Minitouch units in the system.

3.6.4 - CONFIGURING ONE/E MODULE SCREENS

3.6.4.1 - AUTOMATION MANAGEMENT

COMMANDS: this drop-down menu can be used to specify what is to be shown on the display: a button or arrows (sector 2 only).

COMMAND CONFIGURATION: this menu changes depending on the number of buttons or arrows selected in the previous step.
INPUT DESCRIPTION
Field used to enter a short description of the function or the module managed by the button/arrow.
MESSAGE ADDRESSEE

MODULE + OUTPUT: the module + output function is used to control one or more module outputs. When this option is selected,
you must enter the number of the module and output(s) you wish to control.

ZONE: the function enables control of several outputs on different modules. This setting is used to send a command which
switches off all the lights in an apartment or lowers all the shutters, etc... To do this, the outputs must be assigned to the same
zone or group on the output settings screen.
For example, if you want to control all the lights, one zone (for example ZONE 5) must be assigned to all the outputs connected
to the lights, and then an input set as "Zone" in the message addressee field, entering zone number 5.

105
SUPERVISOR: the supervisor function sends a command directly to the system supervisors, for example Planux Manager, Serial
Bridge, Minitouch. This command is used by the supervisors to activate internally stored commands, or to use the input status
for logic rules or other functions. You must set the number of the supervisor input to send.
For example, if you want to use a button to activate a scenario stored in the memory of a Planux Manager or Minitouch
supervisor, you must set the input in this way. This also applies if you want to use an input status for a logic or link function on
the serial bridge.

TYPE OF MESSAGE
NORMAL: the module sends a command to the addressee, switching the output for which it was programmed.
For example, if you send a normal command to a timed output, the output will be activated for the set time; if you send a normal
command to an output set as bistable, the output inverts its status.

SET: the module sends a “forcing ON” command and the output is then activated independently of the programming, remaining
active until a new command is sent. The SET command does not affect outputs set as "Rolling shutter".
For example, if you want to send an activation command to a group of lights, the SET command type must be set; this switches
on any lights which are off and leaves those already switched on running. If a SET is sent to an output set as timed, the output
is activated and will remain active until a new command is received.
RESET: the module sends a “forcing OFF” command and the output is then deactivated independently of the programming,
remaining inactive until a new command is sent. If the RESET command is sent to an output programmed as "Rolling shutter",
the relay is not activated and the shutter to which it is connected will not move.
For example, to send a deactivation command to a group of lights, the RESET command type must be set; this switches off any
lights which are on and leaves those already switched off inactive.
ANALOGUE ON: the module sends the activation command to the set analogue output, bringing the output to the last value set
temporarily. This is used, for example, to switch on dimmable lights connected to modules Art. 20046810 or Art. 20046851.

ANALOGUE OFF: The module sends the off command to the set analogue output. This is used, for example, to switch off dimmable
lights connected to modules Art. 20046810 or Art. 20046851.
