Product definition
1 Product definition
1.1 Product catalogue
Product name: Shutter actuator 1gang with binary Inputs
Use: Actuator / sensor
Form: UP (concealed)
Art.-No. 6152/11 U-500
1.2 Function
The output (O1) allows the control of electrically-operated Venetian blinds, roller shutters,
awnings, venting louvers or similar blinds for 230 V AC mains voltage. The relay contacts for the
movement directions (up, down) are bistable, meaning that the last switching status set also
remains intact, should the mains voltage fail.
The functionalities that can be preset with the ETS for the Venetian blind output include, for
instance, separately configurable travelling times, enlarged feedback functions, assignment to
up to 5 different safety functions, an extensive sun protection function, and incorporation into
scenes or forced-position applications.
Besides the output, the device possesses three additional inputs, which can have an internal
effect on the Venetian blind output or, alternatively, affect the KNX/EIB separately, depending
on the ETS configuration. The connected potential-free switch or button contacts are
downloaded to the device via a shared reference potential. With the internal effect, inputs 1 and
2 directly operate the Venetian blind output. With the effect on the bus, the inputs can,
independently of one another, transmit telegrams for switching or dimming for Venetian blind
control or value encoder use (dimming value encoder, light scene extension).
The connection of 230 V signals or other external voltages to the extension inputs is not
permitted!
For configuration and commissioning of this device, it is necessary to use ETS3.0 from version
"d" onwards. Advantages with regard to downloading (significantly shorter loading times) and
parameter programming can be expected only if this ETS patch version or later versions are
used.
The device electronics are supplied exclusively from the bus voltage. The device is designed for
installation in concealed switch or device boxes in permanent installations.

Installation, electrical connection and operation
2 Installation, electrical connection and operation

2.1 Safety instructions
Electrical equipment may only be installed and fitted by electrically skilled persons. The
applicable accident prevention regulations must be observed.
Failure to observe the instructions may cause damage to the device and result in fire and
other hazards.
Before working on the device or exchanging the connected loads, disconnect it from the
power supply (switch off the miniature circuit breaker), otherwise there is the risk of an
electric shock.
The device is not suitable for disconnection from supply voltage.
Make sure during the installation that there is always sufficient insulation between the
mains voltage and the bus and extension inputs. A minimum distance of at least 4 mm
must be maintained between bus/extensions and mains voltage cores.
Do not connect any external voltage to the inputs, since doing so may damage the
device(s), and the SELV potential on the KNX bus line will no longer be available.
For parallel connection of several drives to a shutter / blind output it is indispensable to
observe the corresponding instructions of the manufacturers, and to use a cutoff relay if
necessary. There is otherwise risk of irreparable damage to the drives.
Use only curtains with mechanical or electronic limit switches. Check the limit switches
for correct adjustment.
Do not connect any three-phase motors.
The device may not be opened or operated outside the technical specifications.

2.3 Fitting and electrical connection

DANGER!
Electrical shock when live parts are touched.
Electrical shocks can be fatal.
Before working on the device, disconnect the power supply and cover up live
parts in the working environment.
DANGER!
When connecting the bus/extensions and mains voltage wires in a shared
appliance box, the KNX bus line may come into contact with the mains voltage.
This endangers the safety of the entire KNX installation. People at remote
devices may also receive an electric shock.
Do not place bus/extensions and mains voltage terminals in a shared
connection compartment. Use an appliance box with a fixed partition wall or
separate boxes.
Connecting and mounting the device

Minimum spacing between the mains voltage and bus/extension wires: 4 mm (Figure 2).
Recommendation: Use an electronics box when installing the device, e.g. with a series switch
(Figure 3).

n" and close in travel direction "DOWN – o".
i Do not connect any three-phase motors.
i Insulate unused wires of the 6-pin control cable against each other and outside voltage.
i To avoid interference from EMC radiation, the cables of the extension inputs should not be
run in parallel to cables carrying voltage.

2.4 Commissioning
After installation and connection of the bus line, the mains voltage and of all electrical loads, the
device can be put into operation. For output 1 only, special commissioning steps have to be
performed prior to programming with the ETS. The following procedure is generally
recommended...
DANGER!
Electrical shock on contact with live parts in the installation environment.
Electrical shocks can be fatal.
Before working on the device, disconnect the power supply and cover up live
parts in the working environment.
Measuring the travelling times

For the purpose of positioning blinds, shutters and awnings or for adjusting the opening angle of
venting louvers, the device needs accurate information about the maximum travelling time for
output 1.
The bus and mains voltage must be switched on.
Recommendation: Device operation using extension inputs (internal effect of input 1 "UP" and 2
"DOWN" on output 1 = as-delivered state).
o If not yet done, move the blind/shutter into the upper end position (open venting louver
completely).
The upper limit-stop position is reached (venting louver opened).
o Start the measuring time and move the blind/shutter by control into the lower end position
(close the venting louver completely).
o Stop the time measurement when the lower limit (when the completely closed) position is
reached.
o Enter the measured value in the ETS (cf. "software description").
i It is wise to perform several time measurements and to take the average of these values.
i The travelling time can also be determined after commissioning with the ETS (bus
operation through communication objects).
Measuring the travelling time extension

When travelling upwards, blinds or shutters have a tendency of moving more slowly due to their
own weight or to external physical influences (e.g. temperature, wind, etc.). The same applies to
venting louvers where opening may take longer than closing.
For this reason, the device takes the configured travelling time extension into account for output
1 when moving upwards or when opening the louvers (MOVE operation / positioning). The
extension is computed as a percentage of the difference of the travelling times in both
directions.
The blind/shutter (venting louver) must be in the lower end position (venting louver closed).
o If not yet done, move the blind/shutter into the lower end position (close venting louver
completely)
Lower end position reached (venting louver closed).
o Start the measuring time and move the blind/shutter by control into the upper end position
(open the venting louver completely).
o Stop the time measurement when the upper limit (the completely open) position is reached.
o Express the measured value as a percentage of the determined blind/shutter travelling time
and enter the value in the ETS (cf. software description).
1473-1-7829 | Rev. 01 | 3.2012 Page 9 of 144

i The travelling time extension can also be determined after commissioning with the ETS
(bus operation through communication objects).
Measuring the slat moving time (only for blinds)

In the case of blinds with slats, the slat moving time is for technical reasons part of the overall
travelling time of the blind. The slat moving time is the time required for a movement between
the slat positions "closed – 100 %" and "open – 0 %". In order to compute the opening angle of
the slats, the device needs an information about the slat moving time.
The slats must be completely closed (as in case of downward travel of the blind).
o Start the measuring time and open the slats completely by manual control (as in case of
upward travel of the blind).
o Take the measuring time when the completely open position is reached.
o Enter the measured value in the ETS (cf. "software description").
i The slat moving time can also be determined after commissioning with the ETS (bus
operation through communication objects).
Commissioning with the ETS

After measuring the times for output 1, the device can be programmed by the ETS.
Commissioning is basically confined to programming of the physical address and the application
data with the ETS.
Project planning and commissioning of the device using the ETS 3.0d with Patch A or newer
versions.
The device is connected and ready for operation.
o Switch on the bus voltage
Check: When the programming button is pressed, the red programming LED must light up.
Switching on the bus voltage causes the device carry out the "Behaviour after bus voltage
return" configured in the ETS. In the state as supplied, this behaviour is set as follows for
the outputs...
Blind output (O1): Drive stop,
O2 (valve output): Close valve. (Valve direction of action: deenergised closed = output
OFF).
o Programming the physical address and the application data with the ETS.
Performing a reference movement (optional)

The device can approach newly preset curtain or louver positions for output 1 only if the current
positions are known. For this purpose, the output must be given the opportunity to synchronise
itself whenever the bus voltage is switched on or after every ETS programming run (physical
address, application program, partial download). This synchronisation is performed by means of
the reference movement.
o If not yet done, move the curtains to the upper end position (open venting louver
completely).
o Wait until the output relay has switched off (not only the limit switch of the drive).
The reference movement is terminated.
1473-1-7829 | Rev. 01 | 3.2012 Page 10 of 144

i This device stores the curtain, slat or louver positions temporarily. After each bus voltage
failure or after programming with the ETS, the device therefore automatically performs a
reference movement for output 1 before a new position can be approached.
i After bus voltage return, the device generates an "invalid position" message for output 1
which can also be transmitted to the bus, if so configured. The message is withdrawn
(inverted signal value) as soon as a reference movement could be executed.
1473-1-7829 | Rev. 01 | 3.2012 Page 11 of 144

2.5 Operation
In the as-delivered state of the device, extension inputs 1 and 2 have a direct effect on Venetian
blind output 1. In this way, it is possible, for example, for a connected Venetian blind 'on the
building site' to be commissioned and operated simply by applying the bus voltage and without
using additional sensors.
After commissioning using the ETS, extension inputs 1 and 2 behaviour as they are configured
in the ETS. It is also possible to let the inputs internally effect output 1. Alternatively, these
inputs can also affect the bus and control other actuators. The extension inputs then function
like standard KNX/EIB pushbutton interfaces.
i Extension input 3 always behaves independently and, through separate communication
objects, only affects the bus. In the as-delivered state, this extension input is inactive.
If inputs 1 and 2 have an internal effect on output 1, control takes place using the two-area
principle: Input 1 controls the "UP" command and input 2 controls the "DOWN" command.
Venetian blind 1 is controlled according to Table 1...
Input Contact on the input Actuation time Status of output 1

1 Closed (rising flank) Short (< 0.4 s) Short-time operation UP / Stop
1 Closed (rising flank) Long (> 0.4 s) Long time operation UP
2 Closed (rising flank) Short (< 0.4 s) Short-time operation DOWN / Stop
2 Closed (rising flank) Long (> 0.4 s) Long time operation DOWN
1/2 opened Between 0.4 s ... 2.5 s Stop / slat adjustment
(falling flank)
1/2 opened After 2.5 s No reaction
(falling flank)
Table 1: Effect of the extension inputs on output 1
i The times specified in Table 1 and the operating concept "Short - long - short" are preset in
the as-delivered state of the device. However, the appropriate actuation times of inputs 1
and 2 can be configured in the ETS and thus adapted to special requirements (see
page 29). The operating concept cannot be changed when inputs 1 and 2 have an internal
impact.
i After bus voltage return, the device only switches to status change of the extension signals
when the configured time for "delay after bus voltage return" has elapsed (see chapter
4.2.4.1. General functions for extension inputs). Within the delay, any pending flanks or
signals at the inputs are not evaluated and are ignored. The delay time is configured
generally for all the inputs. In the as-delivered state, the time is preset to "0 s".

Software information
4.2.2 Software information

ETS project design and commissioning
For configuration and commissioning of this device, it is necessary to use ETS3.0 from version
"d" onwards. Advantages with regard to downloading (significantly shorter loading times) and
parameter programming can be expected only if this ETS patch version or later versions are
used. The advantages are gained through the use of the mask version 7.5.
The product database required for the ETS3.0 from version "d" or more recent versions is
offered in the *.VD4 format. The corresponding application program has the version number
"1.1".
Safe-state mode
If the device - for instance as a result of errors in the configuration or during commissioning -
does not work properly, the execution of the loaded application program can be halted by
activating the safe-state mode. The safe-state mode does not permit control of the outputs via
the bus or evaluation of the inputs. The device remains passive since the application program is
not being executed (state-of-execution: terminated). Only the system software is still functional
so that the ETS diagnosis functions and also programming of the device continue to be
possible.
Activating the safe-state mode

o Switch off the bus voltage (e.g. by disconnecting the device from the bus line).
o Press and hold down the programming button.
o Switch on the bus voltage (e.g. by connecting the device to the bus line). Release the
programming button only after the programming LED starts flashing slowly.
The safe-state mode is activated. With a new brief press of the programming button, the
programming mode can be switched on and off as usual also in the safe-state mode. The
programming LED will nevertheless continue to flash independently of the programming
mode as long as the safe-state mode is active.
i The safe-state mode can be terminated by switching off the bus voltage or by programming
with the ETS.
Unloading the application program

The application program can be unloaded with the ETS. In this case, the internal effect of the
extension inputs on the Venetian blind output as part of the application program is not available
either. The device does not then function.

4.2.4 Functional description
4.2.4.1 General functions for extension inputs
Effect of the extension inputs

The device possesses extension inputs, which can have an internal effect on the Venetian blind
output or, alternatively, affect the KNX/EIB separately, depending on the ETS configuration.
With the internal effect, inputs 1 and 2 directly operate the Venetian blind output. This
configuration also corresponds to the as-delivered status (unprogrammed device). In this way, it
is possible, for example, for a connected Venetian blind 'on the building site' to be
commissioned and operated simply by applying the bus voltage and without using additional
sensors.
With the effect on the bus, the inputs can, independently of one another, transmit telegrams for
switching or dimming for Venetian blind control or value encoder use (dimming value encoder,
light scene extension). They then function like a pushbutton interface.
The parameter "Effect of the extension inputs" on the "General" parameter page defines the use
of the inputs.
o Set the parameter to "I1 & I2 internally on O1, I3 separately on the bus".
The extension inputs 1 and 2 only directly affect the internal Venetian blind output of the
device. For two-area operation, input 1 operates the "UP" command and input 2 the
"DOWN" command. Input 3 behaves independently and, through separate communication
objects, only affects the bus.
Venetian blind output 1 is controlled according to Table 2...
Input Contact on the input Actuation time Status of output 1

1 Closed (rising flank) Short (< 0.4 s) Short-time operation UP / Stop
1 Closed (rising flank) Long (> 0.4 s) Long time operation UP
2 Closed (rising flank) Short (< 0.4 s) Short-time operation DOWN / Stop
2 Closed (rising flank) Long (> 0.4 s) Long time operation DOWN

1/2 opened After 2.5 s No reaction

Table 2: Effect of the extension inputs on output 1
i The times specified in Table 2 and the operating concept "Short - long - short" are preset in
the as-delivered state of the device. However, the appropriate actuation times of inputs 1
and 2 can be configured in the ETS and thus adapted to special requirements (see
page 29). The operating concept cannot be changed when inputs 1 and 2 have an internal
impact.
when the configured time for "delay after bus voltage return" has elapsed (see chapter
4.2.4.1. General functions for extension inputs). Within the delay, any pending flanks or
signals at the inputs are not evaluated and are ignored. The delay time is configured
generally for all the inputs. In the as-delivered state, the time is preset to "0 s".
It is also possible to configure a general telegram rate limit. In this case no more telegrams
are transmitted to the bus in 17 seconds (permanently defined, cyclical time interval) than
are specified in the ETS.
o Set the parameter to "I1, I2 & I3 separately on the bus".
1473-1-7829 | Rev. 01 | 3.2012 Page 26 of 144

The three inputs of the device affect the KNX/EIB independently of the Venetian blind
output and each other. Depending on the ETS configuration, the functions "Switching",
"Dimming", "Venetian blind" or "Value encoder" can be set (see chapter 4.2.4.3.1. Function
configuration of the extension inputs).
The "No function" setting deactivates the appropriate input. With the "Venetian blind"
setting, the input objects can be connected to the objects of the Venetian blind output using
group objects. This allows control of the device using its own inputs, even if the extensions
are affecting the bus (e.g. with group control of multiple actuators during installation).
Delay after bus voltage return

It is possible to specify separately for each input whether a reaction should take place after a
device reset (bus voltage return or ETS programming operation). This means that a defined
telegram can be transmitted to the bus according to the input signal or with forced control. The
configured" Delay after bus voltage return" for the extension inputs on the "General" parameter
page must have elapsed fully by the time the set reaction is executed. Within the delay, any
pending flanks or signals at the inputs are not evaluated and are ignored. The delay time is
configured generally for all the inputs. In the as-delivered state of the device, the time is preset
to "0 s".
Telegram rate limit

It is possible to configure a general telegram rate limit using the parameter of the same name
on the "General" parameter page. If the telegram rate limit is enabled, no more telegrams are
transmitted to the bus in 17 seconds (permanently defined, cyclical time interval) than is
specified in the ETS. This avoids fast flank changes at the inputs causing an unpermissibly high
bus load.
i A telegram rate limit does not influence a configured delay after bus voltage return. These
two functions can be combined in any way.
1473-1-7829 | Rev. 01 | 3.2012 Page 27 of 144

4.2.4.2 General functions for the Venetian blind output

Delay after bus voltage return
To reduce telegram traffic on the bus line after bus voltage activation (bus reset), after
connection of the device to the bus line or after programming with the ETS, it is possible to
delay all actively transmitted feedback telegrams of the actuator output. For this purpose, a
channel-independent delay can be specified for the output 1 using the parameter "Delay after
bus voltage return" on the "General" parameter page. Only after the configured time elapses are
feedback telegrams for initialisation transmitted to the bus.
Which of the telegrams is actually delayed and which is not can be specified for each signalling
or status function separately.
i The delay has no effect on the behaviour of the output. Only the bus telegrams for
feedback are delayed. The output can also be controlled over the bus during the delay after
bus voltage return.
i A setting of "0" for the delay after bus voltage return deactivates the delaying function
altogether. In this case, any messages, if actively transmitted, will be transmitted to the bus
without any delay.

4.2.4.3 Channel-orientated functions for extension inputs
4.2.4.3.1 Function configuration of the extension inputs

The following section contains descriptions of the various functions that can be configured in the
ETS independently for each input. The functions "Switching", "Dimming", "Venetian blind" or
"Value encoder" can be set.
It should be noted that the extension inputs 1 and 2 can optionally affect the internal Venetian
blind output of the device (see page 26-27). In this case, inputs 1 and 2 do not have separate
communication objects and are permanently configured to the Venetian blind function in the
ETS. These inputs can only be given a limited configuration.
i Extension input 3 always behaves independently and, through separate communication
objects, only affects the bus.
Internal effect of the extension inputs 1 and 2

Inputs 1 and 2, can either have an internal effect on the Venetian blind output or, alternatively,
affect the KNX/EIB separately. The parameter "Effect of the extension inputs" on the "General"
parameter page defines the effect of the inputs (see page 26-27).
With the internal effect, inputs 1 and 2 directly operate the Venetian blind output. This
configuration corresponds to the as-delivered state (unprogrammed device). With an internal
effect, the operating concept (evaluation of short time and long time operation) is set
permanently to "Short - long - short". However, the appropriate actuation times of inputs 1 and 2
can be configured in the ETS and thus adapted to special requirements. This means that it is
possible, on parameter pages "I1 - General" and "I2 - General" to configure the "Time between
short and long time operation" (T1) and the "Slat adjustment time" (T2) (Figure 6).
Figure 6: Operating concept "Short - long - short" when inputs 1 and 2 have an internal impact
With a rising flank, input 1 always operates the movement direction "UP". Input 2 operates the
movement direction "DOWN". After bus voltage return, unoperated inputs do not show any
special behaviour.
i In the as-delivered state, the times between short and long time operation and the slat
adjustment times of the inputs are matched to the time of short time operation and the
movement time (long time operation) of the Venetian blind output. If the times at the inputs
are changed, then it should be observed that, for flawless operation of the blind or venting
louver at output 1, the times of the output may also need to be adjusted.
i It is not possible to actuats the inputs simultaneously.
when the configured time for "delay after bus voltage return" has elapsed (see page 27).
Within the delay, any pending flanks or signals at the inputs are not evaluated and are
ignored. The delay time is configured generally for all the inputs. In the as-delivered state,
the time is preset to "0 s".
Switching function
For each input whose function is set to "Switching", the ETS displays two 1-bit communication
objects (switching object X.1 and X.2). It is possible to use these two objects to transmit
different switching telegrams to the bus depending on the signal flank at the input. The input
1473-1-7829 | Rev. 01 | 3.2012 Page 29 of 144

parameter on the parameter page "Ix - General " (x = 1, 2, 3) can be used to define which object
value is transmitted to the bus when there is a rising or falling flank at the input (no reaction,
ON, OFF, TOGGLE - switchover of the object value). No distinction is made between a brief or
long signal flank/actuation in the "Switching" function.
Response to bus voltage return

After a device reset (bus voltage return or ETS programming operation), the communication
objects of the input can be initialised. For this, the "Behaviour on bus voltage return" parameter
should be configured to the required reaction. In the settings "On telegram" or "Off telegram"
telegrams are transmitted actively to the bus according to this requirement. In the "Transmit
current input status" setting, the device evaluates the static signal status of the input and,
according to this, transmits the appropriately configured telegram to the bus (contact closed at
the input = telegram as with rising flank; contact open at input = telegram as with falling flank).
If, in this case, the flank command dependent on the current status is configured to "No
reaction", the device does not transmit a telegram to the bus on initialisation.
If, in the ETS, a delay is set for the extension inputs after bus voltage return, the device only
transmits the telegrams when the delay has elapsed.
Cyclical transmission
Optionally, the object values can be transmitted cyclically to the bus for the "Switching" function.
For this, the transmission criteria must first be defined in the ETS. The "Transmit cyclically ?"
parameter on the parameter page "Ix - Transmit cyclically" (x = 1, 2, 3) specifies with which
value cyclical transmission should take place. Depending on requirements, it is possible to
transmit cyclically via both or just one switching object(s). In addition, it is possible to define the
cycle time separately for both switching objects in the ETS.
The object value entered in the switching objects by the device on a flank change or externally
by the bus is always transmitted cyclically. The object value is then also transmitted cyclically
when "no reaction" is assigned to a rising or falling flank. Cyclical transmission also takes place
directly after bus voltage return, if the reaction after bus voltage return corresponds to the
transmission criterion for cyclical transmission. During an active disable, no cyclical
transmissions take place via the disabled input.
Dimming function
For each input whose function is set to "Dimming", the ETS indicates a 1-bit "Switching" and a
4-bit "Dimming" object. In general, the device transmits a switching telegram on a short time
input signal (triggered by the rising flank of a closed contact) and a dimming telegram on a long
signal. In the standard configuration, the device transmits a telegram for stopping the dimming
action after a long signal.
The length of time the input signal (closed pushbutton or switch) must last until a long actuation
is detected can be set using the parameter "Time between switching and dimming" on the
parameter page "Ix - General" (x = 1, 2, 3).
Operating principle
The "Operation" parameter specifies the operating principle. In the presetting of the dimming
function, two-surface operation is specified here. This means that the input transmits a telegram
for switching on after a short signal length and a telegram for increasing the brightness after a
long signal length ("Brighter"). Alternatively, the device can transmit a telegram for switching off
after a short signal length and a telegram for reducing the brightness after a long signal length
("Darker").
With a single-surface dimming function, the input transmits switch-on and switch-off telegrams
("TOGGLE") in an alternating pattern for each short signal. After long signals, the device
transmits "brighter" and "darker" telegrams in an alternating pattern.
1473-1-7829 | Rev. 01 | 3.2012 Page 30 of 144

i With single-surface dimming, the following should be observed: if a dimming actuator is to

be controlled from several locations, a faultless single-surface operation requires that the
addressed actuator reports its switching state back to the 1-bit object of the input and that
the 4-bit objects of all the sensors are interlinked. The sensor device would otherwise not
be able to detect that the actuator has been addressed from another sensor, in which case
it would have to be actuated twice during the next use in order to produce the desired
reaction.
The additional input parameters on the parameter page "Ix - General" can be used to specify in
which increments brighter or darker dimming take place, whether a stop telegram is transmitted
on a falling flank or whether the dimming telegram is to be repeated cyclically.

object "Switching" of the input can be initialised. For this, the "Behaviour on bus voltage return"
parameter should be configured to the required reaction. In the settings "On telegram" or "Off
telegram" telegrams are transmitted actively to the bus.
After a device reset, the "Dimming" object is always initialised with "0".
Venetian blind function

For each input, whose function is set to "Venetian blind", the ETS indicates the two 1-bit objects
"Short time operation" and "Long time operation".
For the control of Venetian blind, roller shutter, awning or similar drives, the device supports two
operation concepts for the Venetian blind function in which the telegrams are transmitted in
different time sequences. The device can therefore be used to operate a wide variety of drive
configurations. In the ETS, the operating concept of an input is defined using the parameter of
the same name on the parameter page "Ix - General" (x = 1, 2, 3). The following settings are
possible...
Figure 7: Operation concept "short – long – short"
Operation concept for the Venetian blind function

Operation concept "short – long – short":
In the operation concept "short – long – short", the input shows the following behaviour:
- Immediately after a rising flank (closed pushbutton or switch) the input transmits a short
time telegram onto the bus. Pressing the button stops a running drive and starts time T1
("time between short time and long time operation"). If the a falling flank is detected within
T1 (closed pushbutton or switch), no further telegram will be transmitted. This short time
serves the purpose of stopping a continuous movement.
The "Time between short time and long time command" in the input parameters should be
selected shorter than the short time operation of the actuator to prevent a jerky movement
of the shutter.
- If the button is kept depressed longer than T1, the input transmits a long time telegram
after the end of T1 for starting up the drive and time T2 ("slat adjusting time") is started.
1473-1-7829 | Rev. 01 | 3.2012 Page 31 of 144

- If a falling flank is detected within the slat adjustment time, the input transmits an additional
short time telegram. This function is used for adjusting the slats of a blind. The function
permits stopping the slats in any position during their rotation.
The "slat adjusting time" should be chosen as required by the drive for a complete rotation
of the slats. If the "slat adjusting time" is selected longer than the complete running time of
the drive, a pushbutton function is possible as well. This means that the drive is active only
when a button connected to the input is kept depressed.
- If the button is kept depressed longer than T2, the input transmits no further telegram. The
drive remains on until the end position is reached.
Figure 8: Operation concept "long – short"
Operation concept "long – short":

In the operation concept "long – short", the input shows the following behaviour:
- Immediately on pressing the button, the input transmits a long time telegram. The drive
begins to move and time T1 ("slat adjusting time") is started.
- If a falling flank is detected within the slat adjustment time, the input transmits a short time
telegram. This function is used for adjusting the slats of a blind. The function permits
stopping the slats in any position during their rotation.
The "slat adjusting time" should be chosen as required by the drive for a complete rotation
of the slats. If the "slat adjusting time" is selected longer than the complete running time of
the drive, a pushbutton function is possible as well. This means that the drive is active only
when a button connected to the input is kept depressed.
- If the button is kept depressed longer than T1, the input transmits no further telegram. The
drive remains on until the end position is reached.
Flank evaluation
The parameter "Command on rising flank" on the parameter page "Ix - General" (x = 1, 2, 3)
specifies the direction of movement of the short time or long time telegram. In the "TOGGLE"
setting (single-surface operation) the input switches the direction of the short and long time
telegram each time there is a new signal. Several short time telegrams in succession have the
same direction.
i If the actuator is to be controlled from several locations, a faultless single-surface actuation
requires that the all long time objects of the sensor devices are interlinked. A sensor device
would otherwise not be able to detect that the actuator has been addressed from another
sensor, in which case it would have to be actuated twice during the next use in order to
produce the desired reaction.

object "Long time operation" of the input can be initialised. For this, the "Behaviour on bus
voltage return" parameter should be configured to the required reaction. In the settings "Up" or
"Down", telegrams are transmitted actively to the bus.
After a device reset, the "Short time operation" object is always initialised with "0".
1473-1-7829 | Rev. 01 | 3.2012 Page 32 of 144

Value transmitter function

For each input whose function is set to "Value encoder", the ETS indicates either a 1-byte or a
2-byte object. The data format of the value object is dependent on the set function of the value
encoder. The "Function as" parameter on the parameter page "Ix - General" (x = 1, 2, 3) defines
the function on one of the following value encoder applications...
- Dimming value encoder (1-byte),
- Temperature value encoder (2-bytes),
- Brightness value encoder (2-bytes),
- Light scene extension without memory function (1-byte),
- Light scene extension with memory function (1-byte).
The dimming value encoder, temperature and brightness value encoder different in data format
and in the range of values. The independent function of the light scene extension is special and
is described below.
Dimming value encoder, temperature and brightness value encoder

In the function as a dimming value encoder, the input can transmitted unformatted integers in
the range 0 ... 255 to the bus. As a brightness value encoder, the input transmits formatted
floating point values in the range 0 … 1500 Lux and, as a temperature value encoder, in the
range 0 … 40 °C. Table 3 shows a summary of the value ranges of the value encoders. The
values to be transmitted are configured in the ETS and can be adjusted later during device
operation (see value adjustment below).
The flank evaluation of the device means that it can transmit values only on a rising flank, only
on a falling flank or on a rising and falling flank. In this way, it is possible to make adjustments to
the contact connected at the input (pushbutton as NC contact or NO contact and switch).
Value encoder type Function Lower numerical Upper numerical

limit limit
Dimming value encoder 0 ... 255 0 255
Temperature value Temperature 0 °C 40 °C
transmitter value
Brightness value transmitter Brightness value 0 lux 1,500 lux
Table 3: Value ranges of dimming value encoder, temperature and brightness value encoder
Value adjustment for dimming value encoder, temperature and brightness value encoder
With the dimming value encoder and the temperature and brightness value encoder, the value
to be transmitted can be adjusted at any time during device operation. A value adjustment can
only be configurable in the ETS when the value is to be transmitted only on a rising flank or only
on a falling flank, i.e. a pushbutton is connected to the input.
A value adjustment is introduced by a long signal at the input (> 5 s) and continues for as long
as the signal is detected as active, i.e. the pushbutton is actuated. With the first adjustment after
commissioning, the value programmed by the ETS is increased cyclically by the step width
configured for the dimming value encoder and transmitted. The step width of the
temperature value encoder (1 °C) and the brightness value encoder (50 Lux) is permanently
defined. The previously transmitted value is saved after releasing the pushbutton. The next long
pushbutton actuation adjusts the saved value and the direction of the value adjustment
changes.
The time between two telegrams on adjusting values can be configured in the ETS.
Example of value adjustment (Figure 9):

- Function as dimming value encoder
- Transmit value on = Rising flank
- Value configured in the ETS for rising flank = 17
- Step width = 5
1473-1-7829 | Rev. 01 | 3.2012 Page 33 of 144

Figure 9: Example to change the value for dimming value encoder
i There is no value over- or underrun on adjustment. If, during an adjustment, the maximum
or minimum value is reached (see Table 3), no more telegrams are transmitted.
i To ensure that, during a value adjustment, for example the controlled lighting switches off
or switches on at the maximum, the limit values (e.g. the values "0" or "255") are always
transmitted when the limits of the adjustable range are reached. This also takes place
when the configured step width of these values is not immediately taken into account (see
example above: step width = 5; value "2" is transmitted, then value "0").
In this case, to ensure that the original starting value can be reset on resetting with a
change to the adjustment direction, the first value jump is not equal to the preset step width
(see example above: step width = 5; value "0" is transmitted, then values "2"; "7" etc.).
i The newly adjusted values are stored in RAM. After a device reset (bus voltage failure or
ETS programming operation), the adjusted values are replaced by the values originally
configured in the ETS.
Light scene extension

With a configuration as a light scene extension without a memory function, it is possible to recall
a light scene, which is stored in an external bus subscriber (e.g. light scene pushbutton sensor)
With a rising, falling or rising and falling flank, the light scene number configured in the ETS is
immediately transmitted to the bus.
With a configuration as a light scene extension with a memory function, it is possible to
generate a memory telegram according to the light scene to be transmitted. For this, the
appropriate memory telegram is transmitted for a long signal according to the configured flank
evaluation (pushbutton as NC contact or NO contact - not as switch!). In this case, the time for
long actuation can be configured (but not to below 5 s). With short actuation < 1 s, the
configured light scene number (without memory telegram) is transmitted. If the actuation last
longer than 1 s but less than 5 s, no telegram is triggered.
In addition, there is the option of only transmitting a memory telegram without prior light scene
recall. In this case, the parameter "Only memory function ?" must be set to "Yes".
Examples for a light scene extension with memory function (Figure 10):
1.) Only memory function = No
2.) Only memory function = Yes
1473-1-7829 | Rev. 01 | 3.2012 Page 34 of 144

Figure 10: Example of scene storage
"Only memory function = No":

If a rising or falling flank is detected at the input (according to the configuration), the time
recording operation begins. If actuation ceases during the first second, the appropriate light
scene recall takes place immediately. If the signal length is longer, then the memory telegram is
transmitted after 5 s.
"Only memory function = Yes":

The memory telegram is transmitted immediately after detection of the appropriate signal flank.
Behaviour on bus voltage return for value encoder and light scene extension
object of the value encoder or light scene extension can be initialised. For this, the "Behaviour
on bus voltage return" parameter should be configured to the required reaction. The setting is
dependent on the value encoder function and flank evaluation selected in the ETS. In the
settings "Reaction as rising flank" or "Reaction as falling flank", telegrams are transmitted
actively to the bus according to the configuration in the ETS. In the "Transmit current input
status" setting, the device evaluates the static signal status of the input and, according to this,
transmits the appropriately configured telegram to the bus (contact closed at the input =
telegram as with rising flank; contact open at input = telegram as with falling flank). This setting
can only be configured with "Transmit value on = rising and falling flank (switch)".

4.2.4.3.2 Disabling function for extension inputs

The extension inputs can be separately disabled via the bus using 1-bit objects. With the
"Switching" function, it is possible to disable the two switching objects of an input independently
of each other.
With an active disabling function, signal flanks at the input are ignored by the device related to
the affected objects.
Each input or each switching object can execute a specific independent reaction at the
beginning or end of a disable. This reaction is specified on the parameter page
"Ix - disable" (x = 1, 2, 3) in the ETS and is dependent on the flank evaluation defined for the
affected input. In so doing, it is possible to configure to "No reaction". Only in this case are
dimming or Venetian blind control operations or value adjustments completed during an active
disable and only then the input locked. In all other cases, the configured disabling command is
executed immediately at the beginning of disabling.
In the "Transmit current input status" setting, the device evaluates the current static signal
status of the input and, according to this, transmits the appropriately configured telegram to the
bus (contact closed at the input = telegram as with rising flank; contact open at input = telegram
as with falling flank).
A disabling function is activated or deactivated by the corresponding 1-bit object. The telegram
polarity can be set in the ETS for each disabling object. The disabling object is always inactive
after a device reset. Even with an inverted polarity "Disabling = 0 (Enabling = 1)", a "0" telegram
must first be received after a reset until the appropriate disabling function is activated.
i Updates to disabling objects with the same telegram polarity (disabling -> disabling or
enabling -> enabling) do not show a reaction.
i With cyclical transmission in the "Switching" function: during an active disable, cyclical
transmission does not take place via the disabled input switching object. Cyclical
transmission is continued immediately at the end of the disabling with the last object value
written to the object, providing that the transmit criterion for cyclical transmission is fulfilled
(transmit on ON, on OFF or on ON and OFF).

4.2.4.4 Channel-oriented functions for the Venetian blind output
4.2.4.4.1 General settings

Operating mode
Output 1 of the device can be independently configured for the drive type connected by defining
the operating mode. The device permits controlling slatted Venetian blinds, roller shutters,
awnings and also venting louvers. Depending on the preset operating mode, the ETS adapts
the parameters and communication objects for all functions of an output.
For example, in the "Venetian blind" operation mode, there are also parameters and objects for
slat control. There is no slat control in the "Roller shutter / awning" operating mode, but a fabric
stretching function can be configured for awning use. In the "Venting louver" operation mode, a
distinction is made between the "Closing" and "Opening" drive movements, instead of an up or
down movement for Venetian blinds or roller shutters.
In this documentation, Venetian blinds, roller shutters or awnings are also designated with the
term "blind", if the text does not explicitly refer to a particular function (e.g. slat control).
In all modes it is possible to specify positions.
Presetting the operating mode

The parameter "Operating mode" exists on the parameter page "O1 - General".
o Select the required operating mode in the "Operating mode" parameter.
i The "Operating mode" parameter has an influence on many channel-oriented parameters
and communication objects. When the operating mode is changed in the ETS, the
parameters are adapted dynamically so that settings already made or links between group
addresses can be reset. For this reason, the required operating mode should be configured
at the beginning of the channel-oriented device configuration.
i Venting louvers must be connected to the outputs in such a way that they are opened in
the movement direction "up - n" and closed in the movement direction "down - o".
i An awning travels upwards when it is rolled up.
Behaviour in case of bus voltage failure, after bus voltage return or after programming
with the ETS
The preferred contact positions of output 1 after bus voltage return or after ETS programming
can be set. Since the device is equipped with bistable relays, the relay switching state at bus
voltage failure can be defined as well.
Presetting the behaviour after ETS programming

The parameter "Behaviour after ETS programming operation" can be preset on the parameter
page "O1 - General". This parameter can be used to configure the relay behaviour of the output
irrespective of the behaviour after a bus or mains voltage return.
Depending on the selected operating mode, the ETS adapts the designations of the parameter
settings ("raising" ↔ "opening the louver" / "lowering" ↔ "closing the louver).
o Set the parameter to "stop".
After programming with the ETS, the device switches the relays of the output to the "stop"
position. A drive movement, if any, will be interrupted.
o Set the parameter to "raising" or "opening the louver".
After programming with the ETS, the device raises the blind or opens the venting louver.
o Set the parameter to "lowering" or "closing the louver".
After programming with the ETS, the device lowers blind or closes the venting louver.
1473-1-7829 | Rev. 01 | 3.2012 Page 37 of 144

i At the beginning of each ETS programming cycle, the device always executes a "stop"
command for the output.
i The "Behaviour after ETS programming" as configured will be executed after every ETS
application or parameter download. A simple download of the physical address alone or
partial programming of only the group addresses has the effect that this parameter is
disregarded and that the configured "Behaviour after bus or mains voltage return" will be
executed instead.
i After programming with the ETS, the safety functions, the forced positions and the sun
protection function are always deactivated.
Presetting the behaviour in case of bus voltage failure

The parameter "Behaviour in case of bus voltage failure" can be preset under "O1 - General".
The parameter defines the behaviour of the shutter output if only the bus voltage fails.
In case of bus voltage failure, the device switches the relays of the output to the "stop"
o Set the parameter to "no reaction".
In the event of bus voltage failure, the relay of the output shows no reaction. Movements
still in progress at the time of failure will still be completed as long as the mains voltage is
still on.
i As the device is supplied solely by the bus voltage, it is not ready for operation between a
bus failure and the setting of the appropriate reaction up to the bus voltage return.
i When there is a bus voltage failure, the current position data is permanently saved
internally, so that these position values can be accurately repositioned after bus voltage
return, should this be configured. The data is stored before the configured reaction for bus
voltage failures takes place and only if the bus voltage has been available before without
interruption for at least 20 seconds after the last reset (storage capacitors sufficiently
charged for storage purposes). The data will not be stored, if the position data is unknown.
The following rules apply for the position data to be stored:

The current blind, slat and louver positions are stored. With Venetian blinds, the height to
be stored is always referred to a slat position of 100 %(cf. "Calculating the slat position").
Positions temporarily approached will be stored also for those outputs that are involved in a
travel movement at the time of data storage. On account of the fact that position data is
stored as integer percentage values (0...100), a minor deviation from the positions reported
back later during bus voltage return (number range 0..255) cannot be avoided.
In case of ETS programming, the saved position data is not lost.

i In case of bus voltage failure, the current states of the forced position control or – if
configured – also the slat offsets of the sun protection positions are stored as well.
Setting the behaviour after bus voltage return

The parameter "Behaviour after bus voltage return" can be preset on parameter page
"O1 - General".
In case of bus voltage return, the device switches the relays of the output to the "stop"
o Set the parameter to "raising" or "opening the louver".
After bus voltage return, the device raises the blind or opens the venting louver.
1473-1-7829 | Rev. 01 | 3.2012 Page 38 of 144

o Set the parameter to "lowering" or "closing the louver".

After bus voltage return, the device lowers the blind or closes the venting louver.
o Set the parameter to "position on bus failure".
After bus voltage return, the forced position value (including slat position for Venetian
blinds) last selected and internally stored before bus voltage failure will be tracked. Before
the positioning movement, the device executes a reference movement.
o Set the parameter to "position approach".
In case of bus voltage return, the connected drive can approach a position (0...100 %)
specified by further parameters. If Venetian blinds are controlled with the device, the slats
can be positioned independently. Before the positioning movement, the device executes a
reference movement.
i "Position on bus failure" setting: If no position values could be stored in case of bus failure
because the position data was unknown (no reference movement executed), the device
shows no reaction with this configuration either.
i The forced position communication object can be initialised separately after bus voltage
return. This has an effect on the reaction of the output when the forced position is
activated.
The configured "Behaviour on bus voltage return" is only executed when no forced position
after a bus voltage return is activated.
i The device only executes the configured "Behaviour on bus voltage return" only if the last
ETS programming of the application or of the parameters ended at least approx. 20 s prior
to switching on the bus voltage. Otherwise (TETS< 20 s), the
"Behaviour after ETS programming" will be adopted also in case of bus voltage return.

4.2.4.4.2 Movement time settings

Determining and configuring short time and long time operation
Short time operation(Step) permits adjusting the slat tilting angle of a blind or the
'slit opening width' of a roller shutter. In most cases, short-time operation is activated by
pressing a Venetian blind pushbutton sensor permitting manual intervention in the blind
controller. When the device receives a short time command while the Venetian blind, roller
shutter, awning or louver is in motion, the drive movement is stopped immediately by the
device.
A long-time operation (Move) is determined by the movement time of the connected Venetian
blind, roller shutter/awning or louver and must therefore not be preset separately. The
movement time must be measured 'manually' and entered into the ETS parameters. The control
of an output by means of a long time or a short time telegram is also designated as 'direct
operation'.
To ensure that the curtain or the louver has definitely reached its end position at the end of long
time operation, the device always prolongs the long time movement by 20 % of the configured
or learnt movement time.
The configured travelling time extension will moreover be taken into account by the device for
all upward movements or all movements into the open position as the drive motors are then
generally not as fast due to the weight of the blind or external physical influences (e.g.
temperature, wind, etc.). Thus, it is ensured that the upper end position is always reached even
in case of uninterrupted long time travel movements.
i A long time or a short time operation can be retriggered by a new incoming long time or
short time telegram.
i A drive movement activated by a safety function is always a long time operation. The
"raising" or "lowering" commands configured in the ETS will equally activate the long time
operation.
Presetting the short time operation

The short time operation is configured independent of the movement time of the blind or of the
louver. The project designer can specify in the ETS whether the output executes only a "stop"
for a travel movement on reception of a short time telegram or whether the output is activated
for a specific duration.
o Set the parameter "Short time operation" on parameter page "O1 - Time settings" to "Yes".
The device activates the output for the time specified under
"Duration of short time operation" when a short time telegram is received and when the
output is not in the process of executing a movement. If the output is executing a travel
movement at the time of telegram reception, the output will only just stop.
o Set the "Short time operation" parameter to "No (only stop)".
The device will only stop the output on reception of a short time telegram, if the output is in
the process of executing a movement. There will be no reaction, if the output is not
executing a movement at the time of telegram reception.
i The configured "Duration of short time operation" should correspond, for a Venetian blind,
to approx. ¼ of the complete slat moving time and for a roller shutter to the full time needed
for opening the roller shutter segments.
i The short time operation is always executed without a movement time extension.
Determining and configuring movement times

For computing positions and also for executing long time operation, the device needs the exact
movement time of the connectedVenetian blind, roller shutter/awning or louver. The movement
time must be measured 'manually' and entered into the ETS configuration. It is important to
determine the movement time accurately to permit positions to be approached with good
precision. Therefore, it is recommended to make several time measurements and to take the
average of these values before entering them into the corresponding parameter. The movement
time corresponds to the duration of a drive movement from the completely open position
1473-1-7829 | Rev. 01 | 3.2012 Page 40 of 144

(upper end position / awning rolled up) to the completely closed position
(lower end position / awning completely unrolled). Not vice-versa! The movement times are to
be determined as a function of the different types of drives.
Figure 11: Determining the movement time according to the drive type
Setting the movement time of Venetian blinds, roller shutters/awnings and louvers
The measurement of the movement time is described in detail in chapter "Commissioning".
o Enter the exact movement times determined in the course of the commissioning procedure
into the parameters "Venetian blind movement time" or
"Roller shutter/awning movement time" or "Venting louver movement time" on parameter
page "O1 – Times". The maximum travelling time is '59 minutes 59 seconds. The working
principle does not allow longer movement times.
i The configured movement time extension will also be taken into account by the device for
all upward movement or all movements into the open position as the drive motors are then
generally not as fast due to the weight of the blind or external physical influences (e.g.
temperature, wind, etc.).
Determining and configuring the slat moving time (only with slatted Venetian blinds)
If Venetian blinds are controlled, the slats can be positioned independently. To enable the
device to compute slat positions and to report them back to the bus, it is necessary that the
device gets precise information about the time required for a slat rotation. The slat moving time
must in each case be determined and configured 'manually'.
The device is designed in such a way that it can control single-motor Venetian blind drives
without a working position. In this drive mode, the slats are directly adjusted by way of
mechanical linkage when the height of the Venetian blind is changed. The device assumes that
the slats are completely closed when the Venetian blind moves downwards. The actuator
assumes that the slats are completely closed when the Venetian blind moves downwards
(Figure 12). These Venetian blinds are the most common type on the market.
1473-1-7829 | Rev. 01 | 3.2012 Page 41 of 144

Figure 12: Type 1 - Slatted Venetian blinds with oblique slat position in both travel directions
There are also single-motor Venetian blind systems without a working position the slats of which
are horizontal during an upward travel and oblique during a downward travel. Such Venetian
blind types can also be connected to the device in which case a completely open slat position
corresponds to the slats in horizontal position .
Figure 13: Type 2 - Slatted Venetian blinds with oblique and horizontal slat position
Presetting the slat moving time

The measurement of the slat moving time is described in detail in chapter "Commissioning".
o Set the parameter "Slat moving time" on parameter page "O1 - Times" exactly to the value
determined in the course of the commissioning procedure.
i The slat moving time must be shorter than the preset or learnt blind travelling time.
i The configured or measured movement time extension will also be taken into account
when slats are moved into the completely open position (upward movement).
Determining and configuring the movement time extension and the switchover time
When moving upwards, Venetian blinds, roller shutters or awnings have a tendency of moving
more slowly due to their own weight or to external physical influences (e.g. temperature, wind,
etc.). The same applies to venting louvers where opening may take longer than closing.
For this reason, the device takes the configured travelling time extension into account when
moving upwards or when opening louvers. The extension is computed as a percentage of the
difference of the movement times in both directions.
The movement time extension should be determined separately during commissioning and
entered into the ETS configuration.
The measurement of the movement time extension is described in detail in chapter
"Commissioning".
Example for determining the movement time extension:
1473-1-7829 | Rev. 01 | 3.2012 Page 42 of 144

- "Movement time" previously determined and configured: TOU= 20 seconds,"

- Time determined for movement from lower to upper end position: TUO= 22 seconds,
- Calculated supplementary movement time: TUO - TOU = 2 seconds ->
2 seconds out of 20 seconds are 10 %,
- Movement time extension to be configured: 10 %.
To protect the drive motors from irreparable damage, a fixed pause during movement direction
switchover can be configured. During the pause, no movement direction is active ("stop"). The
necessary parameter value can normally be found in the technical documents of the drive motor
used. The switchover time is accounted for in every state of operation of the device.
Presetting the movement time extension

o Enter the determined movement time extension (by rounding up the determined extension
value) into the parameter "Movement time extension for upward movement" on parameter
page "O1 - General".
Presetting the switchover time for movement direction changes

o Set the parameter "Switchover time for travel direction change" on parameter page
"O1 - Times" to the required switchover interval.
i In the as-delivered state of the device, the switchover time is generally preset to 1 s.

4.2.4.4.3 Positioning and feedback settings

Computing the blind height or the louver position
The device has a easy-to-use and accurate positioning function. The device calculates the
current position of the connected Venetian blind, roller shutter, awning or louver whenever these
elements are adjusted either by manual or bus control. The calculated position value is a
measure of the height of the blind or of the opening width of the venting louver (Figure 14).
Figure 14: Positions defined as a function of the type of movement
The device derives the positions from the configured travelling time since conventional drives do
not provide feedback about their positions. Thus, the travelling time configured in the ETS is the
reference for all position approaches and of basic importance for the accuracy of the position
calculations. For this reason, the travelling time should be determined with great accuracy in
order to achieve the best possible positioning results.
For positioning purposes, the device calculates the movement time required as a function of the
current position.
Example 1...
The roller shutter connected to the certain output has an overall travelling time of 20 s. The
roller shutter is in its upper end position (0 %). It is to be positioned at 25 %. The device
calculates the movement time required for approaching the desired position:
20 s × 0.25(25 %) = 5 s. The output will then lower the roller shutter for 5 s and thus position the
blind at height of 25 %.
Example 2...
The shutter connected to the certain output has an overall travelling time of 20 s. The shutter is
in the 75 % position. I It is to be positioned at 75 %. The difference between the positions is
50 %. The device calculates the movement time required for bridging the difference between
the positions: 20 s × 0.5(50 %) = 10 s. The output will then lower the roller shutter for 10 s and
thus position the blind at height of 75 %.
With all the upward movements, the configured movement time extension is automatically
added to the calculated movement time.
Example 3...
The roller shutter connected to the certain output has an overall movement time of 20 s. The
roller shutter is in the 75 % position. It is to be positioned at 25 %. The difference between the
positions is 50 %. The device calculates the unextended movement time required for bridging
the difference between the positions:
1473-1-7829 | Rev. 01 | 3.2012 Page 44 of 144

20 s × 0.5(50 %) = 10 s. Taking the movement time extension into account (e.g. 10 %), the actual
raising time is: 10 s × ((100 % + 10 %(extension)) : 100 %) = 10 s × 1.1 = 11 s. The output will then
raise the roller shutter for 11 s and thus position it at a blind height of 25 %.
When the lower or upper end positions (0 % or 100 %) are approached, the movement time is
always 20 % longer than the overall movement time.
Example 4...
The shutter connected to the certain output has an overall travelling time of 20 s. The shutter is
in the 75 % position It is to be positioned at 100 %. The difference between the positions is
50 %. The device calculates the movement time required for bridging the difference between
the positions: 20 s × 0.5(50 %) = 10 s. As the movement is a limit position movement, the device
adds 20 % of the total movement time:
10 s + (20 % : 100 %) · 20 s = 14 s. The output will then lower the roller shutter for 14 s and
thus positions it safely at a blind height of 100 %.
Example 5:
The roller shutter connected to the certain output has an overall movement time of 20 s. The
roller shutter is in the 50 % position. It is to be positioned at 0 %. The difference between the
positions is 50 %. The device calculates the unextended movement time required for bridging
the difference between the positions: 20 s × 0.5(50 %) = 10 s. As the movement is a limit position
movement, the device also adds 20 % of the total movement time:
10 s + (20 % : 100 %) - 20 s = 14 s.
Taking the movement time extension into account (e.g. 10 %), the actual raising time is:
10 s × ((100 % + 10 %(extension)) : 100 %) = 10 s × 1.1 = 15.4 s. The output will then raise the
roller shutter for 15.4 s and thus position safely at 0 %.
i The device executes position approaches only if a new position deviating from the current
position is preset.
i The device stores the blind or louver positions temporarily. The device can approach newly
preset blind or louver positions only if the current positions are known. For this purpose,
each output must be given the opportunity to synchronise itself whenever the supply
voltage is switched on or after every ETS programming operation (physical address,
application program, partial download). Synchronisation is performed with the help of a
reference movement (cf. "reference movement").
i Position approaches in progress will be aborted in case of bus voltage failure. In case of
bus voltage failure, the configured behaviour will be executed.
Calculating the slat position (only with Venetian blinds)

In the "Venetian blind" operating mode, the device always calculates the slat position so that the
opening angle and thus the amount of 'light admitted into the room' by the Venetian blind can be
adjusted. A new position approach by a Venetian blind will always be followed by a positioning
movement of the slats. Thus, the slat positions last selected will be tracked or readjusted to a
new value if a position change has taken place.
In case of single-motor Venetian blind systems without a working position, the slats will be
readjusted directly by a change of the Venetian blind height. For this reason, an adjustment of
the slat position will always have an influence on the position of the Venetian blind itself
(Figure 15).
Figure 15: Example of slat positioning affecting the position of the Venetian blind
(typical of slat type 1; analogous reaction for type 2)
1473-1-7829 | Rev. 01 | 3.2012 Page 45 of 144

Since a preset slat position is to remain constant until the next change, the device will not
change the height of the Venetian blind, if the calculated movement time required for a change
of position lies within the configured slat moving time.
Similarly, the device accounts for the ratio of the moving times of slat and Venetian blind and –
in case of slat position changes – always recalculates the resulting Venetian blind position. If
the position feedback objects are used (cf. "Position feedback"), the device transmits the
Venetian blind positions changed by the adaptation also to the bus.
Example (Figure 15)...

The Venetian blind position is preset to 50 %. A change of the slat angle (100 %...0 %) initiates
the calculation of a new Venetian blind position which is also tracked in the position feedback
objects. If the device is to approach a new Venetian blind position of, for example, 47 % in this
case, the device will not perform a movement as the calculated travelling time lies within the
configured slat moving time and therefore coincides with the slat movement. A change of the
Venetian blind position to 55 % in this case triggers a Venetian blind movement as the change
does not lie within the slat movement (0 to 100 %).
In each position operation, the Venetian blind setpoint position refers to a slat position of 100 %.
In the event of a slat repositioning movement (0 to 100 %), the system will therefore report a
Venetian blind position below the desired position.
Exception: The Venetian blind setpoint position of 0 % (upper end position) is assigned to the
slat position of 0 %. The readjustment of the slat position will result also in this case in a change
of the Venetian blind height (brief downward movement). Only in this case will the actuator
report back a Venetian blind position above the Venetian blind setpoint position (Figure 16).
With slat type 1, the slats are generally horizontal when the Venetian blind is in its upper end
position. For this reason, the calculated slat position with a slat type 1 corresponds to the actual
opening angle only after the first slat is completely extended (100%).
Figure 16: Example of slat positioning with the Venetian blind in upper end position
(typical of slat type 1)
Example (Figure 16)...

The Venetian blind position is preset to 0 %. After an extended movement, the Venetian blind is
safely in the upper end position. A change of the slat angle (0 %...100 %) initiates the
calculation of a new Venetian blind position which is also tracked in the position feedback
objects. If the device is to approach a new Venetian blind position of, for example, 5 % in this
case, the device will not perform a movement as the calculated travelling time lies within the
configured slat moving time and therefore coincides with the slat movement. A change of the
Venetian blind position to 15 % in this case triggers a Venetian blind movement as the change
does not lie within the slat movement (0 to 100 %).
i The device executes slat position adjustments only if a new position deviating from the
current slat position is preset.
1473-1-7829 | Rev. 01 | 3.2012 Page 46 of 144

i The device stores the slat positions temporarily. The device can approach newly preset slat
positions only if the current position is known. For this purpose, the output must be given
the opportunity to synchronise itself whenever the supply voltage is switched on or after
every ETS programming run (physical address, application program, partial download). The
synchronisation is performed with the help of a reference movement for the slat or the
Venetian blind (cf. "reference movement").
i A change of the Venetian blind height will always result in a change of the slat position.
After reactivation of the supply voltage of after ETS programming, the device will in this
case generally move the slats into the 100 % position, if no position has been preset for the
slats.
i The smaller the ratio between slat moving time and Venetian blind travelling time, the more
precise the position approaches and the less marked the influence of the slat angle
adjustment on the height of the Venetian blind.
Reference movement
After ETS programming (physical address, application program, partial download) or after bus
voltage failure all current position data are unknown. Before the device can approach new
positions after bus voltage return or after programming, the positioning system must at first be
calibrated. A position calibration is possible by executing the reference movement.
A reference movement is the time required for a movement into the upper end position
increased by 20 % and additionally by the configured movement time extension (Figure 17). A
reference movement is not retriggerable.
Reference movements can be executed by the following commands...

- Uninterrupted long time operation (including also a terminated safety movement) into the
upper end position activated via the corresponding communication object,
- Positioning to the 0 % position.
Figure 17: Reference movement
In the event of slat positioning via the corresponding communication objects after bus voltage
return or after programming, a slat reference movement becomes necessary if the Venetian
blind has not been moved beforehand in the up or down directions for at least the configured
slat moving time. During a slat reference movement, the device always moves the slats for the
1473-1-7829 | Rev. 01 | 3.2012 Page 47 of 144

configured slat moving time into the completely open position (0 %) and then to the desired
position. The slat position is also considered as calibrated when the Venetian blind has been
moved by a long-time command in the up or down direction during at least the configured slat
moving time.
i A terminated reference movement of the Venetian blind will also calibrate the slat position.
i If the reference movement is interrupted for instance by a short-time operation, the position
is still unknown as before.
i A long-time travel into the lower end position activated via the corresponding
communication object also calibrates the reference position.
i With the sun protection function it is moreover possible to force the actuator to perform a
reference movement before each sun protection travel even if the positions are known.
Thus, it is ensured that in case of sun protection the configured sun protection position is
always precisely approached even after repeated position approaches.
i Using the connected drives frequently for position approaches (for instance several times a
day) can result after some time in positioning inaccuracies. These deviations from the
setpoint position are mostly due to external physical influences. To achieve accurate
positioning in operation it is recommended to perform the reference movement at least
once every day. This can be achieved for instance by a central raising command
transmitted to the long-time object.
Presetting the position

The following ways of presetting positions can be distinguished…
- Direct positioning via the positioning objects (direct operation),
- Positioning by activating the sun protection function,
- Positioning using the response to bus voltage return,
- Positioning by a scene recall.
Positioning via the positioning objects:
Every Venetian blind, roller shutter, awning or louver can be positioned directly via the
"Position..." object separate for each output. An independent positioning object exists for each
of the slats. The position approached is always the position last received. The device does not
show a reaction when the set or approached position value is received multiple times in
succession.
Like the operation via short time, long time or scene recall, this form of control is also
designated as 'direct operation'. Positioning via the objects therefore has the same priority.
A position approach effected by the communication objects can be interrupted at any time by a
short- or long-time or by a scene recall. Direct operation can be overridden by a function with a
higher priority, e.g. forced position, safety or also sun protection (configurable).
The position telegrams must conform to the 1-byte data format as per
KNX datapoint type 5.001 (scaling). The device converts the value received (0...255) linearly
into a position (0...100 %) (see the table 4).
Received value Position derived from value

(0...255) (0…100 %)
0 0 % (upper end position / slat or louver opened)
↓ ↓ (all intermediate values rounded off to 1 % increments)
255 100 % lower end position / slat or louver closed)
Table 4: Data format of positioning objects with conversion into percentage position values
It is possible that new positioning telegrams are being received while a position approach is in
progress. In this case, the device immediately reverses the direction of travel, if the new position
to be approached lies in the opposite direction.
If a slat positioning command is received during a running Venetian blind position approach, the
device finishes first the Venetian blind position approach before positioning the slat. If a
1473-1-7829 | Rev. 01 | 3.2012 Page 48 of 144

Venetian blind positioning command is received during a slat positioning movement, the device
interrupts the slat positioning movement and approaches the new Venetian blind position. The
device only executes the most recently receive slat positioning command after this.
In case of Venetian blind positioning, slat positioning will always be executed later. After
switching on the bus voltage or after programming with the ETS, it may be the case that the slat
position is unknown, if no long time command for the upward or downward movement with a
duration of at least the configured slat moving time has been received or no slat positioning has
taken place (no slat reference movement). In this case, the slat is moved during a Venetian
blind position approach into the completely closed position (100 %). The slat position is then
considered as calibrated.
i Optionally, the sun protection function offers the possibility of receiving the instruction of
the blind height, venting louver or slat position to be adopted during sunshine via separate
communication objects and to preset these values variably. This form of variable position
preset in the sun protection function is identical to presetting the positions via
communication objects in direct operation. The priority of the incoming telegrams in direct
operation with the sun protection activated can be additionally configured in the ETS.
Positioning by the sun protection function, the behaviour after bus voltage return or by a scene
recall:
In case of the device functions mentioned, the positions to be approached are configured
directly in the ETS depending on the operating mode. The position values can be specified
between 0 % and 100 % in 1 % increments.
With Venetian blinds, the height of the Venetian blind is positioned first in these cases. The
configured slat position is adjusted only thereafter.
i Important notes for all positioning movements: Using the connected drives frequently for
position approaches (for instance several times a day) can result after some time in
positioning inaccuracies. These deviations from the setpoint position are mostly due to
external physical influences. To achieve accurate positioning in operation it is
recommended to perform the reference movement at least once every day. This can be
achieved for instance by a central raising command transmitted to the long time object.
Position feedback messages

In addition to presetting positions via positioning objects, the device can track the current
positions values via separate feedback objects and also transmit them to the bus, if the bus
voltage is on. Thus, the preset setpoint position can be distinguished from the true actual
position of the drives activated.
The following feedback telegrams can be preset depending on the configured operating
mode...
- Feedback (1 byte) of the Venetian blind, roller shutter, awning or venting louver position,
- Feedback (1 byte) of the slat position (only with Venetian blinds).
The individual position feedback messages can be enabled in the ETS independent of one
another and have communication objects of their own.
For each movement, the device calculates the current position and tracks it in the position
feedback objects. The positions are tracked and the feedback objects updated even when the
output has been activated via short time or long time telegrams on condition that the bus
voltage is on.
1473-1-7829 | Rev. 01 | 3.2012 Page 49 of 144

The feedback objects are updated after the following events...

- At the end of a drive movement – including a slat positioning movement in a Venetian
blind – when the drive stops and when the new position is reached,
- With a movement to an end position already at the time the end position is theoretically
reached, i.e. before the 20 % extension and the movement time extension have elapsed.
The feedback objects are not updated, if the position last reported back has not changed after a
movement (for instance, when the Venetian blind is repositioned, the unchanged slat position
will not be reported back a second time).
The device cannot calculate a feedback position, if the current position data after switch-on of
the bus voltage or after ETS programming are still unknown. In these cases, the system must
first perform a reference movement (cf. "reference movement") so that the position can be
calibrated. In case of unknown positions, the device automatically performs reference
movements, if new positions are preset and if these positions are to be approached. As long as
a position is unknown, the value of the feedback objects is "0".
Presetting position feedback for Venetian blind, roller shutter, awning or venting louver
positions
The feedback functions can be enabled and programmed. When feedback is enabled, the ETS
adapts the parameter texts depending on the preset operating mode
("Venetian blind position feedback", "Roller shutter/awning position feedback" or
"Venting louver position feedback"). The feedback can be used as an active message object or
as a passive status object. As an active signalling object, the position feedback information is
transmitted to the bus whenever a position value changes. As a passive status object, there is
no telegram transmission after a change. In this case, the object value must be read out. The
ETS automatically sets the object communication flags required for proper functioning.
In case of an actively transmitting signalling object, the current position can be transmitted to
the bus after bus voltage return, if the position value differs from the one last transmitted. When
the position data are known, the feedback telegram can in this case be transmitted with a time
delay to reduce the bus load, with the delay being preset globally for all outputs in common (cf.
"Delay after bus voltage return").
The feedback functions of an output must be enabled on parameter page
"O1 - Enabled functions". Only then are the parameters for the feedback functions visible.
o Set the parameter "Venetian blind position feedback",
"Roller shutter/awning position feedback" or "Venting louver position feedback" on
parameter page "O1 - Feedbacks" to "feedback object is active signalling object".
The feedback object is enabled. The position value is transmitted as soon as it changes.
No value will be actively transmitted, if the position is unknown.
o Set the parameter "Venetian blind position feedback",
"Roller shutter/awning position feedback" or "Rückmeldung Lüftungsklappenposition" on
parameter page "O1 - Feedbacks" to "feedback object is passive status object".
The feedback object is enabled. The position value will be transmitted in response only if
the feedback object is read out from by the bus. If the position is unknown, a value of "0"
will be reported back after readout.
The feedback must be set as actively transmitting.

o If a time delay after bus voltage return should be necessary, the parameter
"Time delay for feedback after bus voltage return" on parameter page "O1 - Feedbacks"
must be set to "yes".
The position feedback will be transmitted with a delay after bus voltage return. After the
end of the time delay, the position last adjusted statically will be transmitted to the bus. No
feedback telegram is transmitted during a running delay, even if a position value changes
during this delay.
1473-1-7829 | Rev. 01 | 3.2012 Page 50 of 144

Presetting the position feedback for slat positions (only with Venetian blinds)
The feedback for the slat positions can be enabled and programmed separately. As with the
position feedback of the Venetian blind height, the feedback can be used as an active message
object or as a passive status object.
In case of an actively transmitting signalling object, the current slat position can be transmitted
to the bus after bus voltage return, if the position value differs from the one last transmitted.
When the position data is known, the feedback telegram can, in this case, be transmitted with a
time delay to reduce the bus load, with the delay being preset for all feedback in common
(cf. "Delay after bus voltage return").
The feedback functions of the output must be enabled on parameter page
"O1 - Enabled functions". Only then are the parameters for the slat position feedback functions
visible.
o Set the parameter "Slat position feedback" on parameter page "O1 - Feedbacks" to
"feedback object is active signalling object".
The feedback object is enabled. The position value is transmitted as soon as it changes.
No value will be actively transmitted, if the position is unknown.
o Set the parameter "Slat position feedback" to "feedback object is passive status object".
The feedback object is enabled. The position value will be transmitted in response only if
the feedback object is read out from by the bus. If the position is unknown, a value of "0"
will be reported back after readout.

The position feedback will be transmitted with a delay after bus voltage return. After the
end of the time delay, the position last adjusted statically will be transmitted to the bus.
During a running delay the affected feedback object is updated but no feedback is
transmitted actively, even if a position value changes during this delay.
i Behaviour of the position feedback on voltage failure & return:

On bus voltage return, the current position data is always written to the feedback objects.
The positions are then also transmitted to the bus, if the feedback objects transmit actively.
If the position data is unknown, the feedback objects are initialised with "0" and not
transmitted to the bus.
i In case of Venetian blind operation, any position change of the Venetian blind within the
limits of the slat adjustment (0 to 100 %) does not launch a movement and therefore no
change of the feedback position data either.
Unknown position feedback and drive movement

In addition to position data feedback, the device can also report back enlarged 1-bit status
information messages and transmit them actively to the bus, if the bus voltage is on.
The following status feedback messages can be preset...
- Feedback of an invalid position,
- Drive movement feedback,
Feedback of an invalid position:

After switch-on of the supply voltage or after programming with the ETS, all the position data of
an output is unknown. In this case – when the bus voltage is on – the device can update the
feedback object "Invalid position"(object value "1") which will then signal that the object values
of the 1-byte position feedback objects are invalid.
An invalid position feedback will be only be reversed (object value "0") after the position data for
the Venetian blind, roller shutter, awning or venting louver have been calibrated by means of a
1473-1-7829 | Rev. 01 | 3.2012 Page 51 of 144

reference movement. The calibration of the slat position in a Venetian blind alone will not result
in the reversal of an 'invalid position' status message.
As an option, the object value of the status feedback message can be actively transmitted to the
bus in case of a value change.
Drive movement feedback:

The device can report back via a separate 1-bit communication object whether the connected
drive is moving, i.e. whether the output is supplying current for any of the movement directions.
The feedback object has a value of "1" when current is flowing from the output to the drive.
Likewise, a "0" is written into the object if the output concerned remains in a stop position. In
this case, the operation by which the output was activated (short time or long time operation,
positioning, etc.) is of no importance.
As an option, the object value of the status feedback message can be actively transmitted to the
bus in case of a value change.
The state of the feedback is only derived from the relay state of the device. This means that if a
drive is blocked or already in its end position, the value reported back does not correspond to
the actual state of the drive movement.
Setting feedback of an invalid position

The feedback of an invalid position can be enabled and programmed independently. When
feedback is enabled, the ETS adapts the parameter texts depending on the preset operating
mode ("Invalid Venetian blind position feedback",
"Invalid roller shutter/awning position feedback" or "Invalid venting louver position feedback").
The feedback can be used as an active message object or as a passive status object. As an
active signalling object, the status feedback information is transmitted to the bus whenever a
position value changes. As a passive status object, there is no telegram transmission after a
change. In this case, the object value must be read out. The ETS automatically sets the object
communication flags required for proper functioning.
If the object is an actively transmitting signalling object, the feedback telegram can be
transmitted after bus voltage return with a time delay to reduce the bus load, with the delay
being preset globally for all outputs in common (cf. "Delay after bus voltage return").
The feedback functions of the output must be enabled on parameter page
o Set the parameter "Invalid Venetian blind position feedback",
"Invalid roller shutter/awning position feedback" or
"Invalid venting louver position feedback" on parameter page "O1 - Feedbacks" to
The feedback object is enabled. A telegram is transmitted as soon as there is a change
(e.g. after ETS programming, after switch-on of the supply voltage or after a reference
movement).
o Set the parameter "Invalid Venetian blind position feedback",
"Invalid roller shutter/awning position feedback" or
"Invalid venting louver position feedback" on parameter page "O1 - Feedbacks" to
"Feedback object is passive status object".
The feedback object is enabled. A telegram will be transmitted in response only if the
feedback object is read out by the bus.

The feedback of an invalid position will be transmitted with a delay after bus voltage return.
After the end of the time delay, the object value state last adjusted will be transmitted to the
bus. No feedback telegram is transmitted during a running delay, even if a position value
becomes known during this delay, for example through a reference movement.
1473-1-7829 | Rev. 01 | 3.2012 Page 52 of 144

i Automatic transmission after bus voltage return only takes place if there has been an
internal change to the object state.
Setting drive movement feedback

The feedback of a drive movement can be enabled and programmed independently. The
feedback can be used as an active message object or as a passive status object. As an active
signalling object, the status feedback information is transmitted to the bus whenever a position
value changes. As a passive status object, there is no telegram transmission after a change. In
this case, the object value must be read out. The ETS automatically sets the object
communication flags required for proper functioning.
If the object is an actively transmitting signalling object, the feedback telegram can be
transmitted after bus voltage return with a time delay to reduce the bus load, with the delay
being preset globally for all outputs in common (cf. "Delay after bus voltage return").
The feedback functions of an output must be enabled on parameter page
o Set the parameter "Drive movement feedback" on parameter page "O1 - Feedbacks" to
The feedback object is enabled. A telegram is transmitted when the connected drive starts
moving or stops.
o Set the parameter "Drive movement feedback" on parameter page "O1 - Feedbacks" to
"Feedback object is passive status object".
The feedback object is enabled. A telegram representing the current travel movement will
be transmitted in response only if the feedback object is read out by the bus.

The feedback of a drive movement is transmitted after a delay on bus voltage return, for
example, when the drive starts moving on account of the set behaviour after bus voltage
return. After the end of the time delay, the object value state last adjusted will be
transmitted to the bus. No feedback telegram is transmitted during a running delay, even if
the drive stops or starts moving.
i Automatic transmission only takes place after a bus voltage return when the drive starts
moving on bus voltage return or if the bus failure has caused a change to the drive
movement.

4.2.4.4.4 Safety function settings

Safety function
The device can handle up to five different safety functions:
3 x wind alarm, 1 x rain alarm, 1 x frost alarm. Each safety function has a communication object
of its own so that the functions can be activated or deactivated independently of one another.
There are three different wind alarms available. These alarms can be used, for instance, to
protect Venetian blinds or awnings on several building facades from wind and gusts. In addition
or as an alternative, a rain alarm, for instance, as a protection for awnings, and a frost alarm as
a protection against mechanical damage to lowered Venetian blinds in low temperatures can be
activated and used. The telegram polarity of the safety objects is fixed:
"0" = No alarm / "1" = Alarm.
Usually, weather stations, which record temperature, wind speed and rain via the sensors,
control the communication objects of the safety function.
The reactions at the beginning of an alarm message ("1" telegram) or at the end of an alarm
message ("0" telegram) can be specified during the configuration in the ETS.
The communication objects for the safety alarms can be monitored for the arrival of cyclical
telegrams. If there are no telegrams within a settable monitoring time, the device activates the
safety movement for the output. The safety function is terminated as soon as a new
"0" telegram is received.
For the wind alarms, the rain alarm and the frost alarm, different monitoring times between '1
minute' and '23 hours 59 minutes' can be separately selected in the ETS. A shared time is
configured for the wind alarms. Each wind alarm has its own timer so that the wind objects are
separately checked for telegram updates.
Figure 18: Function diagram of the safety function
The output can be assigned independently to the wind alarms, the rain alarm and the frost
alarm. If the output is associated with several alarms, the preset priority decides which of the
alarms will prevail and be executed. In so doing, an alarm with a higher priority overrides the
alarms with the lower priorities. When safety alarm with the higher priority has ended, the safety
alarm with the lower priority is executed on condition that it is active.
The order of priority of the wind alarms with respect to the frost alarm or to the rain alarm can be
configured on the parameter page "O1 - Safety I". The three wind alarms have the same priority
with respect to one another (logic OR). The last telegram update to the wind alarm objects
decides which of the wind alarms will be executed. The wind alarm is completely deactivated
only after all three objects are inactive ("0").
The output in the active safety alarm state is locked, i.e. the control of the output concerned via
the bus by direct operation (short time, long time telegram, scenes, positioning) or by a sun
protection function is prevented. Only a forced position has a higher priority so that this function
may override a safety lock. At the end of a forced position, the safety reaction is re-executed if
an assigned safety alarm is still active.
1473-1-7829 | Rev. 01 | 3.2012 Page 54 of 144

Presetting the safety priorities

If several safety alarms are assigned to the output, it is important to preset the priority of the
incoming safety telegrams. In so doing, an alarm with a higher priority overrides the alarms with
the lower priorities. When safety alarm with the higher priority has ended, the safety alarm with
the lower priority is executed on condition that it is active.
The safety function for an output must be enabled on parameter page "O1 - Enabled functions.
Only then are the parameters for the safety function visible.
o Set the "Priority of safety alarms" parameter on the "O1 - Safety I" parameter page in the
required order of priority.
i The three wind alarms have the same priority with respect to one another (logic OR). The
last telegram update to the wind alarm objects decides which of the wind alarms will be
executed. The wind alarm is completely deactivated only after all three objects are inactive
("0").
Presetting cyclical monitoring

If cyclical telegram monitoring of the safety objects is necessary, the individual monitoring
functions must be activated separately. The monitoring functions must be enabled and the
monitoring times preset on the "O1 - Safety II" parameter page.
o If monitoring of the wind alarms is to be activated, the parameter
"Use wind alarm monitoring function ?" must be set to "yes".
The monitoring function for the wind alarm objects is now activated. As soon as the
monitoring function is activated, telegrams must be transmitted cyclically to all enabled
wind alarm objects. If only one of the wind alarm telegrams is missing within the monitoring
period, the wind alarm reaction will be executed for the output.
o Specify the required monitoring time for the wind alarm objects in the
"Wind alarm monitoring times" parameters.
o If the monitoring function is to be activated for a rain alarm, the parameter

"Use rain alarm monitoring function ?" must be set to "yes".
The monitoring function for the rain alarm object is now activated. As soon as the
monitoring function is activated, telegrams must be transmitted cyclically to the rain alarm
object.
o Specify the required monitoring time for the rain alarm object in the
"Rain alarm monitoring times" parameters.
o If the monitoring function is to be activated for a frost alarm, the parameter

"Use frost alarm monitoring function ?" must be set to "yes".
The monitoring function for the frost alarm object is now activated. As soon as the
monitoring function is activated, telegrams must be transmitted cyclically to the frost alarm
object.
o Specify the required monitoring time for the frost alarm object in the
"Frost alarm monitoring times" parameters.
i The monitoring function for the wind alarms may only be activated, if at least one wind
alarm has been activated on the "O1 - Safety I" page.
1473-1-7829 | Rev. 01 | 3.2012 Page 55 of 144

i The cycle time of the transmitters should be shorter than the monitoring time configured in
the device in order to ensure that at least one telegram can be received during the
monitoring time.
Assigning safety alarms

The individual safety alarms can be assigned separately to each output. The channels are
assigned on parameter page "O1 - Safety III".
o If an assignment to the wind alarms is necessary, set the parameter
"Assignment to wind alarms" to the wind alarms required.
The output is assigned to the specified wind alarms.
o If an assignment to the rain alarm is necessary, set the parameter
"Assignment to rain alarm" to "yes".
The output is assigned to the rain alarm.
o If an assignment to the frost alarm is necessary, set the parameter
"Assignment to frost alarm" to "yes".
The output is assigned to the frost alarm.
i If an output was assigned to the wind alarm and these alarms are not enabled on
parameter page "O1 - Safety I", the assignment is without effect.
Presetting the behaviour at the beginning of a safety alarm

The behaviour of the output at the beginning of a safety alarm can be configured separately for
each alarm (wind alarms in common, rain and frost alarms separately). The alarm behaviour is
preset on parameter page "O1 - Safety III". At the beginning of a safety alarm, the device locks
the output, i.e. control via the bus by direct operation (short time, long time telegram, scenes,
positioning) or by a sun protection function is prevented.
settings ("raising" ↔ "opening the louver" / "lowering" ↔ "closing the louver").
The behaviour in case of a safety alarm can only be adjusted, if the output has been assigned
to the corresponding alarm. Since there is no difference between the alarm-dependent
configurations, the selection of the parameters is described below only once.
o Set the parameter "Behaviour in case of ..." to "no reaction".
At the beginning of the alarm, the output is locked and the relay of the output shows no
reaction. Any movements still in progress at this instant will still be completely finished.
o Set the parameter "Behaviour in case of ..." to "raising" or "opening the louver".
The device raises the blind or opens the venting louver at the beginning of the alarm and
locks the output thereafter.
o Set the parameter "Behaviour in case of ..." to "lowering" or "closing the louver".
The device lowers the blind or closes the venting louver at the beginning of the alarm and
locks the output thereafter.
o Set the parameter "Behaviour in case of ..." to "stop".
At the beginning of the alarm, the device switches the relays of the output to "stop" and
locks the output. A drive movement, if any, will be interrupted.
1473-1-7829 | Rev. 01 | 3.2012 Page 56 of 144

i The safety movement time required by an output to move the drive into the end positions is
determined by the "Movement time" parameter on parameter page "O1 - Times". Like the
long-time operation, a safety movement is derived from the movement time. Downward
movement: movement time + 20 %; Upward movement: movement time + 20 % +
configured movement time extension. Safety movements are not retriggerable.
i Slats of blinds are not repositioned at the end of safety movements to end positions.
Presetting the behaviour at the end of all safety alarms

The device ends the safety interlock of the output only after all safety alarms assigned to the
output have become inactive. Thereafter, the output shows the configured
"Behaviour at the end of safety". The behaviour is configured on parameter page
"O1 - Safety III" in common for all alarms.
o Set the parameter "Behaviour at the end of safety" to "no reaction".
At the end of all safety alarms, the output is released and the relay of the output shows no
reaction. Any movements still in progress at this instant will still be finished.
o Set the parameter "Behaviour at the end of safety" to "raising" or "opening the louver".
The device releases the output at the end of all safety alarms and raises the blind or opens
the venting louver.
o Set the parameter "Behaviour at the end of safety" to "lowering" or "closing the louver".
The device releases the output at the end of all safety alarms and lowers or closes the
venting louver.
o Set the parameter "Behaviour at the end of safety" to "stop".
At the end of all safety alarms, the output is released and the device switches the relays of
the output to "stop". A drive movement, if any, will be interrupted.
o Set the parameter "Behaviour at the end of safety" to "tracking the position".
At the end of all safety alarms, the output will be set to the state last adjusted statically
before the safety function or to the state tracked and internally stored during the safety
function. The position objects, the long time object and the scene function are tracked.
i Parameter setting "Position tracking": The device can track absolute positions after safety
release (position telegram, scene value) only if the position data is known and if the
positions have been predefined. In all other cases, no reaction takes place on release of
safety.
Position data can be tracked, if the output was in a defined position before the safety
function or if a new position telegram was received via the position objects during the
safety interlock. In the latter case, a reference movement will be executed when the safety
function is enabled, if the position before or during the safety interlock was unknown.
Known slat positions will also be tracked as described. This is also the case, when the
height of the Venetian blind is unknown.
Long time movements (movements without position preset) will, however, always be
tracked.
i The preset "Behaviour at the end of safety" will only be executed, if the output passes over
to direct operation at the end of all safety alarms. If a sun protection function is activated
(independent of the preset priority with respect to direct operation), it will be also executed.

4.2.4.4.5 Sun protection settings

Sun protection function - General information
A sun protection function can be configured and actuated for output 1 of the device. Sun
protection is generally realized with blinds, shutters or awnings and offers an intelligent method
of shading rooms, terraces or balconies during sunshine depending on the
altitude of the sun in the sky and on the intensity of the sunlight(Figure 19)
Figure 19: Sun protection principles (example)
The sun protection functions of the device can be adapted many different applications. In simple
applications as, for instance, in case of direction-dependent measurement of the sun's intensity
by means of a brightness sensor, the curtains controlled can be closed partly or completely to
prevent being disturbed by direct sunlight. In these applications, the sun protection function
merely evaluates the 1-bit sun signal from the brightness or a similar sensor (e.g. weather
station with limit value monitoring) and makes a drive open or close the controlled curtains by
moving them into fixed configured positions or into variable positions preset via the bus.
In extended applications – for instance where the degree of shading is controlled by weather
stations evaluating additionally the sun angle as a function of astro co-ordinates and presetting
the blind and also the slat positions dynamically – the sun protection function can be
supplemented by an automatic control system. In such applications, the sun protection function
evaluates additional bus communication objects allowing to enable or to disable the automatic
control while the device is in operation. This results in a large number of combination variants
with intelligent Venetian blind control systems.
Already simple sun protection applications are sufficient to permit a fixed or variable re-
adjustment of the positions of Venetian blind slats for adapting the curtain to individual shading
requirements. For such purpose, it is possible to preset a static slat offset in the ETS
parameters, for instance, for adapting the reflection of sunlight depending on the building
situation, or additionally, a dynamical slat offset via a bus communication object,
for instance, for manual re-adjustment of the slat opening by persons in the room or otherwise
by a central building services control system.
In all cases, the priority between an incoming sunshine or automatic telegram and the direct
operation of the output (short time, long time telegram, scenes, positioning) is also presettable
in the ETS. This way, a sun protection position can, for instance, be influenced by a 'manual'
operation of a pushbutton sensor in the room and the sun protection function be interrupted.
Alternatively, sun protection mode can therefore not be interrupted by a direct operation, i.e. the
output is locked.
A sun protection function can be overridden by a safety function, a forced position or also by a
manual control locally on the device itself as these functions of the device invariably have a
higher priority. At the end of one of the mentioned functions with a higher priority, the same
reaction as the one at the beginning of sun protection will be re-executed, if the sun protection
function is still active at this time.
The device can be operated with two sun protection functions. The simple sun protection or
alternatively the extended sun protection that can be enabled.

Sun protection function - Simple sun protection

In the simple sun protection, shading against sunlight is activated and deactivated via the
1-bit communication object "Sunshine / shading facade". The polarity of this object can be
selected in the ETS. The sun protection is activated as soon as "sunshine" is signalled to the
object depending on the preset polarity. After ETS programming or after switch-on of the supply
voltage, the object must at first have data written into it by the bus also in case of inverted
polarity before the sun protection can be activated.
A newly received object value (sun / beginning of shading or sun / end of shading) can
optionally be evaluated with a time delay. This feature permits suppressing brief brightness
variations caused, for instance, by passing clouds or by a thunderstorm. An update (from
activated to activated) of the "Sunshine / shading facade" object causes the sun protection to be
reactivated, if it had been influenced and possibly been re-enabled beforehand by a direct
operation in acc. with the preset priority.
The reaction of the output at the beginning of shading can be preset in the ETS.
Amongst other things, this setting permits approaching fixed configured positions or positions
preset via the bus and thus variable. Variable positions for sun protection purposes can be
preset, for instance, by means of pushbutton sensors or visualisations. In addition, it is possible
in case of a defined sun protection positioning movement to have a reference movement
executed by forced control. This ensures that identical blind positions are approached
synchronously by different outputs in case of a sun protection positioning movement.
The reaction at the end of a shading task can be preset as well. In this situation, the curtain can
pass into an end position, be stopped or shown no special reaction. Tracking of positions is
possible as well.
By means of a priority setting in the ETS configuration, it can be specified whether the sun
protection function can be influenced by direct operation or whether the corresponding output is
locked by a telegram "Sunshine / shading facade" in the sun protection position. The
"Forced position" and "Safety" functions always have a higher priority so that these functions
can override, but not terminate a sun protection. Thus, the sun protection function is re-
executed at the end of a function with a higher priority, if the object "Sunshine / shading facade"
continues to signal the presence of sunshine.
i The following rules must be observed for the extended sun protection: After an ETS
programming operation, the sun protection function including automatic operation is always
deactivated.

components can be integrated into a simple sun protection configuration.

The function diagram (Figure 21) shows all possible functions of the simple sun protection. For
reasons of clarity, the functions with a higher priority (forced position, safety function) are not
shown in the diagram.
Figure 21: Function diagram illustrating the simple sun protection
Sun protection function - extended sun protection

The extended sun protection has the basic functional properties of the simple sun protection
function. In addition, an automatic control system can be implemented. Venetian blind control
systems for blind and slat position tracking with respect to the position of the sun as, for
instance, a weather station with combination sensor can therefore be integrated into the device
system via the bus as an added automatic function.
In the extended sun protection, shading against sunlight is activated and deactivated via the
1-bit communication object "Sunshine / shading facade". A reaction of the output to the sun
telegram can be expected only after the automatic control has been activated. In all other
cases, the sun protection function is completely deactivated.
1473-1-7829 | Rev. 01 | 3.2012 Page 60 of 144

As far as the activation of the automatic control via the corresponding object is concerned, the
following two cases must be distinguished...
- Sun shading action starting immediately:
Automatic operation is activated as soon as the "Automatic" object receives a "1" telegram.
The output reacts immediately to the activation and shows the preset behaviour depending
on sunlight conditions (Sun / beginning of the shading action / Sun end of the shading
action). The sunlight conditions are derived from the "Sun / shading facade" object
according to the set polarity - if necessary after the delays have elapsed.
After an ETS programming operation or after switch-on of the supply voltage, the
"Sunshine / shading facade" object is initialised with "0" and, unlike the simple sun
protection, evaluated immediately depending on the preset polarity so that shading against
sunlight can begin immediately on activation of the automatic sun protection function. The
reception of a "0" telegram by the object "Automatic" always terminates an automatic
operation independent of the state of the "Sunshine / shading facade" object.
Application example:
Private house with winter garden. The conservatory is equipped with Venetian blinds to
shade the place against sunlight. When the conversation is used, automatic operation is
activated, for instance, with a pushbutton sensor on the wall. The device then immediately
executes the shading function, if sunshine was detected.
The device performs the behaviour configured for the end of the shading / sunshine in case
no sunshine is detected when the automatic operation is activated.
- Activation of the sun shading only on the next update:

In this configuration, the polarity of the automatic object can be preset. Automatic operation
is activated as soon as the "Automatic" object is set to 'active' in consideration of polarity. A
reaction at the output occurs, however, only after a new change of state
("0" -> "1" or "1" -> "0") has been signalled via the "Sunshine / shading facade" object. In
this case, the new state (beginning of sunshine/shading or end of sunshine/shading)
determines the behaviour of the output immediately depending on the preset polarity.
After an ETS programming operation or after switch-on of the supply voltage, the
object "Automatic" must at first have data written into it by the bus also in case of inverted
polarity before the automatic operation can be activated.
The reception of an 'Automatic deactivated' telegram by the "Automatic" object always
terminates an automatic operation independent of the
state of the "Sunshine / shading facade" object.
Application example:
An office building is equipped with several Venetian blinds to shade individual offices
against sunlight. In the early morning hours, the automatic sun protection is activated in a
central place in the building, e.g. in the porter's lodge. The Venetian blinds will, however,
not move into the shading positions unless the system has actually reported sunshine for
the building facades in question.
The behaviour at the end of automatic operation is configured separately in the ETS and is
executed whenever the automatic mode is terminated and when no function with a higher
priority is active at this time. In this situation, the curtain can pass into an end position, be
stopped or shown no special reaction. Tracking of positions is possible as well.
Disabling functions of the extended sun protection:

In the event of the sun shading action starting immediately, the automatic operation can
optionally be disabled with an additional communication object. The objects
"Automatic" and "Automatic mode disable" are logically combined (AND with feedback). When
disabling is activated, the automatic operation is reset and thus aborted. The output will then
show the behaviour at the end of automatic operation. The automatic mode can only be
reactivated, if the disabling object is enabled and if the "Automatic" object is updated again by
writing a "1" into it. Any attempt of activating the automatic mode while a disable is active will be
ignored.
Automatic operation disabling example:

An office room is equipped with Venetian blinds to shade the room against sunlight. The room is
1473-1-7829 | Rev. 01 | 3.2012 Page 61 of 144

moreover equipped with a pushbutton sensor on the wall with which the automatic operation
can be activated or also deactivated. When the automatic mode is activated, the room is
immediately shaded against sunlight, if necessary. Depending on the time of day or in the event
of disturbing sunlight falling into the room, the persons in the room can therefore decide for
themselves whether automatic shading is desired or not.
If required, the automatic sun protection is disabled in a central place of the building,
for instance, in the porter's lodge. The automatic control of the Venetian blinds can then be
deactivated, if servicing work is being carried out (window cleaning or similar work). After the
end of disabling, for instance, at the end of the working hours, automatic operation can only be
restarted if it is reactivated in any of the rooms in case of need.
In addition, also the direct operation of the output can be disabled with an independent disabling
object. When disabling is active, a direct operation can – independent of the preset priority –
never override a sun protection function. In this case, direct operation is non operational
in other functions, too. During disabling, incoming direct operation telegrams are completely
ignored (positions received via the bus can then not be tracked either).
If the disabling command is received while a movement initiated by direct operation is in
progress, the movement will still be completely finished. Thereafter, direct operation is
disabled.
Direct operation disabling example:

An office building is equipped with several Venetian blinds to shade individual offices against
sunlight. During the working hours, the rooms are to be shaded automatically. Any direct
operation – e.g. by means of a simple Venetian blind pushbutton sensor on the wall – is to be
disabled during the day. For this reason, the direct operation is disabled, for instance, by the
porter or by a building services management system. Cleaners must have the possibility of
controlling the shutters directly only after the normal working hours. In this case, direct operation
can again be centrally enabled during evening and night hours.
The disabling functions for automatic and for direct operation can also be combined so that it is
possible to intervene at any time and as required by the situation in sun protection control
functions.
Sunshine signal in the extended sun protection mode:

In the sun protection mode, the system is informed about the prevailing sunshine conditions via
the "Sunshine / shading facade" communication object. The system the decides whether
shading is required or not. In the extended sun protection mode, the sunshine signal is only
evaluated when the automatic operation is activated as well.
A new value received via the "Sunshine / shading facade" object can optionally be evaluated
with a time delay. This feature permits suppressing brief brightness variations caused, for
instance, by passing clouds or by a thunderstorm. The time delay is started after an update of
the "Sunshine / shading facade" object also in those cases where the automatic operation is
deactivated so that the newly received information about the sunshine conditions may possibly
also be processed with a delay, if the automatic operation is activated later on.
Unlike in the simple sun protection mode, an update of the "Sunshine / shading facade" object
from active to active or from inactive to inactive in the extended sun protection mode shows
generally no reaction. The behaviour of the output is only influenced if a change of state is being
detected. An update of the sunshine signal alone does not result in the activation of the
automatic operation either.
When the automatic operation is active, the reaction of a specific output at the beginning of
shading can be preset separately in the ETS. This setting permits approaching fixed configured
positions or positions preset via the bus and thus variable. Positions for sun protection purposes
can be variably preset, for instance, by means of a weather station for sun position tracking.
In addition, it is possible in case of a defined sun protection positioning movement to have a
reference movement executed by forced control. This ensures that identical blind positions are
approached synchronously by different outputs in case of a sun protection positioning
movement.
At the end of sun shading when automatic operation is active, the output reaction can also be
configured separately. In this case, too, it is possible to approach fixed configured positions.
By means of a priority setting in the ETS parameters it can be specified whether the evaluation
1473-1-7829 | Rev. 01 | 3.2012 Page 62 of 144

of the sunshine signal in the automatic mode can be influenced by a direct operation or whether
the automatic mode basically locks the corresponding output during sun protection. The
"Forced position" and "Safety" functions invariably have a higher priority so that these functions
can override, but not terminate a sun protection including an automatic operation. Thus, the sun
protection function is re-executed at the end of a function with a higher priority, if the automatic
sunshine protection is still active.
An update (from activated to activated) of the "Automatic" object causes the sun protection to
be reactivated, if it had been influenced and cancelled beforehand by a direct operation in
accordance with the lower priority.
The schematic diagram of the extended sun protection (Figure 22) and an example of how
sensor components can be integrated into an extended sun protection configuration.
Figure 22: Schematic diagram illustrating the extended sun protection configuration
(for reasons of simplicity without disabling functions)
The function diagram (Figure 23) shows all possible functions of the extended sun protection.
For reasons of clarity, the functions with a higher priority (forced position, safety function) are
not shown in the diagram.
1473-1-7829 | Rev. 01 | 3.2012 Page 63 of 144

Figure 23: Function diagram illustrating the extended sun protection
i The following rules must be observed for the extended sun protection:
After an ETS programming operation, the sun protection function including automatic
operation is always deactivated. An activated sun protection (independent of the selected
priority with respect to direct operation) remains active even after a bus voltage failure as
long as the mains voltage supply is still on. The sun protection reaction last executed will
therefore be executed again at the end of a temporary or permanent manual control (if
enabled in case of bus failure), even if there is no bus voltage.
Presetting the type of sun protection

The type of sun protection can be preset. The setting determines whether the simple or the
extended type of sun protection is configured.
For the sun protection parameters to be visible, the sun protection function must be enabled on
parameter page "O1 - Enabled functions".
o Set the parameter "Type of sun protection" on parameter page "O1 - Sun protection" to
"simple sun protection".
Simple sun protection is now configured. The necessary parameters and communication
objects are visible.
o Set the parameter "Type of sun protection" on parameter page "O1 - Sun protection" to
"extended sun protection".
Extended sun protection is now configured. The necessary parameters and communication
objects are visible.
1473-1-7829 | Rev. 01 | 3.2012 Page 64 of 144

i When the sun protection type parameters are changed, the assignments of group
addresses to sun protection objects or other parameter settings are lost. For this reason,
the sun protection type parameter should be selected directly at the beginning of the sun
protection configuration and then not be changed anymore later on.
Presetting the priority of sun protection (for simple sun protection only)
The priority of the sun protection function can be set. In the simple sun protection, the priority
relations between the "Sunshine / shading facade" object and the objects of direct operation
(short time, long time or position telegram, scene recall) must be configured.
The function must have been configured for simple sun protection.
o Set the parameter "Priority of sun protection with respect to direct operation" on parameter
page "O1 - Sun protection" to "same priority".
The sun protection mode can be overridden at any time by direct operation. In the same
way, the sun protection overrides the direct operation, when a new "sunshine" telegram is
received via the "Sunshine / shading facade" object and when a configured time delay, if
any, has elapsed. If the sun protection function is overridden by a direct operation, the
preset behaviour "Reaction at the end of sunshine / shading" will not be executed.
page "O1 - Sun protection" to "higher priority".
An active sun protection will override a direct operation. The sun protection mode can
therefore not be interrupted by a direct operation. Direct operation will be possible again
only after the sun protection function is terminated.
page "O1 - Sun protection" to "lower priority".
A direct operation can at any time override the sun protection mode. If the sun protection
function is overridden by a direct operation, the preset behaviour
"Reaction at the end of sunshine / shading" will not be executed. The sun protection
function can only be reactivated after an enabling movement controlled by a direct
operation has been effected and after a new "sunshine" telegram has been received via the
"Sunshine / shading facade" object. Attempts to activate the sun protection function are
ignored for as long as the enabling movement has not taken place.
On the enabling movement:
An enabling movement is an accomplished long time movement into the upper end position
which has been initiated by the object "Long time operation". An upward movement after
bus voltage return, a position approach to "0 %" or an upward movement after enabling of
forced position or safety functions have no enabling effect.
The sun protection is not enabled if the enabling movement has been interrupted. The
sunshine protection function will be also be disabled if the output has been readjusted
again by a direct operation after an accomplished enabling movement.
After an ETS programming operation or switch-on of the bus voltage, the sunshine
protection function is always enabled.
i The forced position function and the safety functions have a fixed priority higher than that of
the sun protection. The sun protection is overridden – but not terminated – by a function
with a higher priority. After the end of the function with the higher priority the reaction at the
beginning of sun protection will therefore be executed again, if the sun protection is still
active at this time.
i With the settings "same priority" or "lower priority", the sun protection can be overridden by
a direct operation only if the direct control action can be executed at once. A direct
operation will therefore not override the sun protection during an active forced position
function or an active safety function.
1473-1-7829 | Rev. 01 | 3.2012 Page 65 of 144

i Parameter setting "same priority" or "lower priority": A variable preset of curtain and slat
positions or of a slat offset via the bus at the beginning of sunshine / shading shows no
reaction at the output, if the sun protection was overridden by direct operation. However,
the position data or offsets received are stored internally so that the new positions will be
approached on reactivation of the sun protection.
Presetting the priority of automatic sun protection (for extended sun protection only)
The priority of the automatic sun protection function can be set. In the extended sun protection,
the priority relations between the "Sunshine / shading facade" object and the objects of direct
operation (short time, long time or position telegram, scene recall) must be configured. The
selected priority thus affects the evaluation of the sunshine signal in the automatic mode and
not the automatic mode itself.
The function must have been configured for extended sun protection.
o Set the parameter "Priority of automatic operation with respect to direct operation" on
parameter page "O1 - Sun protection" to "same priority".
The sunshine signal of the automatic sun protection mode and the corresponding reaction
can be overridden at any time by direct operation. In the same way, the sunshine signal
overrides the direct operation, when a new "sunshine" or "no sunshine" telegram is
received via the "Sunshine / shading facade" object and when this telegram results in a
change of state. Moreover, a configured delay time, if any, must have elapsed. When the
sunshine signal is overridden by a direct operation, the preset behaviour
"Reaction at the end of sunshine / shading" will not be executed.
parameter page "O1 - Sun protection" to "higher priority".
An active automatic mode always overrides the direct operation independent of the
sunshine signal. The sunshine signal can therefore not be interrupted by a direct operation.
Direct operation will be possible again only after the automatic mode is terminated.
parameter page "O1 - Sun protection" to "lower priority".
A direct operation can at any time override the sunshine signal. If the sunshine signal is
overridden, the preset behaviour "Reaction at the end of sunshine / shading" will not be
executed. The sunshine signal will be evaluated again only after an enabling movement
controlled by a direct operation has been effected and when a new "sunshine" or
"no sunshine" telegram is received via the "Sunshine / shading facade" object and when
this telegram results in a change of state. The sun protection function is ignored for as long
as the enabling movement has not taken place.
On the enabling movement:
An enabling movement is an accomplished long time movement into the upper end position
which has been initiated by the object "Long time operation". An upward movement after
bus voltage return, a position approach to "0 %" or an upward movement after enabling of
forced position or safety functions have no enabling effect.
The sunshine signal is not enabled if the enabling movement has been interrupted. The
sunshine signal will be also be disabled, if the output has been re-adjusted again by a
direct operation after an accomplished enabling movement.
i A direct operation never terminates the automatic mode. Irrespective of a function being
overridden by a direct operation, an activation or a deactivation of the automatic mode
(telegram update of the "Automatic" object) always re-enables the sunshine signal as well
and evaluates it when the automatic mode is active. Attention must be paid to this
behaviour especially in those cases where the "Automatic" object is cyclically overwritten
by telegrams.
1473-1-7829 | Rev. 01 | 3.2012 Page 66 of 144

i The forced position function and the safety functions have a fixed priority higher than that of
the automatic sun protection. The sun protection is overridden – but not terminated – by a
function with a higher priority. After the end of the function with the higher priority the
reaction last executed by the automatic sun protection will therefore be executed again, if
the sun protection is still active at this time.
i With the settings "same priority" or "lower priority", the sunshine signal can be overridden
by a direct operation only if the direct control action can be executed at once. A direct
operation will therefore not override the sun signal during an active forced position function
or an active safety function.
i Parameter setting "same priority" or "lower priority": A variable preset of blind and slat
positions or of a slat offset via the bus at the beginning of sunshine / shading shows no
reaction at the output, if the sunshine signal was overridden by direct operation. However,
the position data or offsets received are stored internally so that the new positions can be
approached when the sensor signals that the sun is shining again.
i Irrespective of the preset priority, an update of the "Sunshine / shading facade" object from
active to active or from inactive to inactive in the extended sun protection mode shows
generally no reaction. The behaviour of the output is only influenced if a change of state is
detected.
Presetting the polarity of the "Sunshine / shading facade" object

The telegram polarity of the "Sunshine / shading facade" object can be preset. This means that
an adaptation to the signals from existing sensors or weather stations is possible in the simple
and also in the extended sun protection mode.
o Set the parameter "Polarity of 'Sunshine / shading facade' object" on parameter page
"O1 - Sun protection" to the required telegram polarity.
The sunshine signal is evaluated in accordance with the preset priority.
i In the simple sun protection mode, an update (from activated to activated) of the
"Sunshine / shading facade" object causes the sun protection to be reactivated, if it had
been influenced and possibly been re-enabled beforehand by a direct operation in acc. with
the preset priority.
i In the extended sun protection mode, an update of the "Sunshine / shading facade" object
from active to active or from inactive to inactive shows generally no reaction. The behaviour
of the output is only influenced if a change of state is detected.
Presetting the activation of the automatic mode (for extended sun protection only)
As far as the activation of the automatic mode is concerned, two cases must be distinguished
which can be configured with the help of ETS parameters. Either a travel movement in acc. with
the reaction at the beginning or the end of sunshine is executed immediately on activation of the
automatic mode, or otherwise the system waits after activation of the automatic mode for a new
change of state in the "Sunshine / shading facade" object until the corresponding output shows
the reaction at the beginning or at the end of sunshine.
o Set the parameter "Activation of automatic mode by..." on parameter page
"O1 - Sun protection" to "Object 'Automatic' and next change of state".
1473-1-7829 | Rev. 01 | 3.2012 Page 67 of 144

Automatic operation is activated as soon as the "Automatic" object is set to 'active' in

consideration of polarity. A reaction at the output occurs, however, only after a new change
of state has been signalled via the "Sunshine / shading facade" object. In this case, the
new state (beginning of sunshine/shading or end of sunshine/shading) determines the
behaviour of the output.
o Set the parameter "Activation of automatic mode by..." on parameter page
"O1 - Sun protection" to "Object 'Automatic' & immediate tracking".
Automatic operation is activated as soon as object "Automatic" receives a "1" telegram.
The behaviour of the output (beginning of sunshine/shading or end of sunshine/shading) is
immediately determined by the state of the object "Sunshine / shading facade".
i Depending on the setting, various object numbers are created for the "Automatic" object in
the ETS. If the parameters are changed, the group address assignments for the automatic
object are lost.
Presetting the polarity of the "Automatic" object (for extended sun protection only)
If the automatic mode is to be activated via the object and only at the next change of state of the
sunshine signal (see "Presetting the activation of the automatic mode"), the telegram polarity of
the automatic object can be preset in addition.
The extended sun protection must be configured for activation of the automatic mode on next
change of state.
o Set the parameter "Polarity of 'Automatic' object" on parameter page "O1 - Sun protection"
to the required telegram polarity.
The telegram to the "Automatic" object will be evaluated depending on the selected priority.
i After an ETS programming operation or after switch-on of the supply voltage, the
object "Automatic" must at first have data written into it by the bus also in case of inverted
polarity before the automatic operation can be activated.
i The polarity of the "Automatic" object is not presettable, if the automatic mode is activated
via the object with immediate tracking. In this case, the telegram polarity is fixed:
Automatic ON = "1", Automatic OFF = "0".
Presetting the disabling function for the automatic mode (for extended sun protection
only)
Automatic mode can be deactivated at any time via a separate disabling object. After enabling
of the disabling function in the ETS parameters, the "Automatic mode disable" object becomes
visible.
The extended sun protection must be configured for activation of the automatic mode with
immediate tracking of the sunshine signal.
o Set the parameter "Disabling function for automatic mode ?" on parameter page
"O1 - Sun protection" to "yes".
The disabling function is enabled. The parameter for setting of the polarity becomes visible.
o Set the parameter "Polarity of object 'Automatic mode disable'" on parameter page
1473-1-7829 | Rev. 01 | 3.2012 Page 68 of 144

The telegram to the "Automatic mode disable" object will be evaluated depending on the
selected priority.
i The objects "Automatic" and "Automatic mode disable" are logically combined
(AND with feedback). When disabling is activated, the automatic operation is reset and
thus aborted. The output will then show the behaviour at the end of automatic operation.
The automatic mode can only be reactivated, if the disabling object is enabled and if the
"Automatic" object is updated again by writing a "1" into it. Any attempt of activating the
automatic mode while a disable is active will be ignored.
objects "Automatic" and "Automatic mode disable" are always initialised with "0". If the
disabling object works with inverted polarity (setting "disabled" = "0") the disabling function
is in this case immediately active.
Presetting the disabling function for direct operation (for extended sun protection only)
The direct mode can be deactivated at any time via a separate disabling object. After enabling
of the disabling function in the ETS parameters, the "Direct operation disable" object becomes
visible.
o Set the parameter "Disabling function for direct mode ?" on parameter page
"O1 - Sun protection" to "yes".
The disabling function is enabled. The parameter for setting of the polarity becomes visible.
o Set the parameter "Polarity of object 'Direct operation disable'" on parameter page
The telegram to the "Direction operation disable" object will be evaluated depending on the
selected priority.
"Automatic mode disable" object is always initialised with "0". If the disabling object works
with inverted polarity (setting "disabled" = "0") the disabling function is in this case
immediately active.
Presetting the reaction at the end of automatic operation (for extended sun protection
only)
When the automatic operation is being deactivated – also by the disabling function – the output
will show the preset reaction, if no function with a higher priority is active at the time of
deactivation. The preset reaction will not be executed either on termination of the automatic
operation, if the sunshine signal is overridden on account of priority settings by a direct
operation. The reaction at the end of automatic operation is preset on parameter page
"O1- Sun protection". Depending on the selected mode of operation, the ETS adapts the
designations of the parameter settings ("raising" ↔ "opening the louver" / "lowering" ↔ "closing
the louver.
o Set the parameter "Reaction at the end of automatic operation" to "no reaction".
At the end of automatic operation the relay of the output shows no reaction. Any
movements still in progress at this instant will still be finished.
1473-1-7829 | Rev. 01 | 3.2012 Page 69 of 144

o Set the parameter "Reaction at the end of automatic operation" to

"raising" or "opening the louver".
At the end of automatic operation, the device raises the blind or opens the venting louver.
o Set the parameter "Reaction at the end of automatic operation" to
"lowering" or "closing the louver".
At the end of automatic operation, the device lowers the blind or closes the venting louver.
o Set the parameter "Reaction at the end of automatic operation" to "stop".
At the end of automatic operation, the device switches the relays of the output to the "stop"
o Set the parameter "Reaction at the end of automatic operation" to "position tracking".
At the end of automatic operation, the output will be set to the state last adjusted statically
before the automatic sun protection or to the state tracked and internally stored during the
automatic sun protection. The position objects, the long time object and the scene function
are tracked.
i The behaviour preset in this parameter will only be executed, if no function with a higher
priority (e.g. safety) is activated at the end of automatic operation.
i Parameter setting "Position tracking": The device can track absolute positions (position
telegram, scene value) at the end of automatic operation only if the position data is known
and if the positions have been predefined. There is otherwise no reaction at the end of
automatic operation.
Position data can be tracked, if the output was in a defined position before the automatic
sun protection function or if a new position telegram was received via the position objects
during the sun protection. In the latter case, a reference movement will be executed at the
end of automatic operation, if the position before or during the sun protection was
unknown.
Long time travel movements (movements without position preset) will always be tracked.
Presetting a time delay for beginning and end of sunshine / shading

The telegram received via the object "Sunshine / shading facade" for activation or deactivation
of shading (depending on polarity) can be evaluated with a time delay. The preset delay times
are always evaluated in the simple as well as in the extended sun protection mode.
o Set the parameter "Time delay at the beginning of sunshine / shading" on parameter page
"O1 - Beginning of sun protection" to the required delay time.
The telegram for activation of the sun shading will be evaluated with a delay corresponding
to the setting.
o Set the parameter "Time delay at the end of sunshine / shading" to the required delay time.
The telegram for deactivation of the sun protection will be evaluated with a delay
corresponding to the setting.
i A setting of "0" in the parameters deactivates the respective delay time. In this case, the
state of the sunshine signal is evaluated immediately.
i Simple sun protection mode: An update (from activated to activated) of the
"Sunshine / shading facade" object causes the sun protection to be reactivated in
consideration of the delay time, if the sun protection had been influenced or aborted
beforehand by a direct operation because of the same or a lower priority.
1473-1-7829 | Rev. 01 | 3.2012 Page 70 of 144

i For extended sun protection mode: The time delay is started after an
update of the "Sunshine / shading facade" object also in those cases where the automatic
operation is deactivated so that the newly received information about the sunshine
conditions may possibly also be processed with a delay, if the automatic operation is
activated later on. Unlike in the simple sun protection mode, an update of the
"Sunshine / shading facade" object from active to active or from inactive to inactive in the
extended sun protection mode shows generally no reaction. The behaviour of the output is
only influenced if a change of state is detected. An update of the sunshine signal alone
does not result in the activation of the automatic operation either.
Presetting the reaction at the beginning of sunshine / shading

The behaviour of the output at the beginning of sunshine / shading – if applicable, after the end
of the delay time – can be configured in the ETS. In the simple sun protection mode, the
behaviour will be executed, when the sun protection function is activated after receiving a new
sunshine signal. In the extended sun protection mode, the output shows the configured
reaction, when automatic operation is activated and when a new sunshine signal
("sun is shining") is being received or was received beforehand. The reaction will not be
executed if a function with a higher priority is active at the time the sun shading is received.
The reaction at the beginning of sunshine / shading is preset on parameter page
"O1- Sun protection". Depending on the selected mode of operation, the ETS adapts the
the louver. The ETS equally adapts the parameter selection depending on the preset mode of
operation.
o Set the parameter "Reaction at the beginning of sunshine / shading" to "no reaction".
At the beginning of shading, the output switches over to sun protection while the relays of
the output show no reaction. Any movements still in progress at this instant will still be
finished.
o Set the parameter "Reaction at the beginning of sunshine / shading" to
At the beginning of shading, the device raises the blind or opens the venting louver.
At the beginning of shading, the device lowers the blind or closes the venting louver.
o Set the parameter "Reaction at the beginning of sunshine / shading" to "stop".
At the beginning of shading, the device switches the relays of the output to the "stop"
"internal scene recall". The number of the scene to be recalled must be specified in the
parameter "Scene number (1…8)".
At the beginning of shading, the device recalls the position value for the output which was
preset in the scene configuration. This is not a scene recall as in direct operation, but only
an approach to the corresponding scene position value.
o Set the parameter "Reaction at the beginning of sunshine / shading" to "fixed position".
At the beginning of shading, the device recalls a fixed position value output.
i In the "Venetian blinds" operating mode, the setting "fixed position" can be selected
separately for the height of the Venetian blind and for the slat position. For this reason, the
ETS adapts the parameter selection and enlarges the setting options in this operating
mode.
1473-1-7829 | Rev. 01 | 3.2012 Page 71 of 144

o "Fixed position" only: Set the parameter "Fixed position of Venetian blind",
"Fixed position of roller shutter/awning" or "Fixed position of venting louver" to
"as parameter value". Thereafter, set the parameter
"Position of Venetian blind (0…100%)", "Position of roller shutter/awning (0…100%)" or
"Position of venting louver (0…100%)" to the desired position.
At the beginning of shading, the output invariably approaches the configured position value.
"no change of current position".
At the beginning of shading, the last set position of the Venetian blind height, the roller
shutter, awning or venting louver will be maintained.
o "Fixed position" and operating mode = "Venetian blind" only: Set the parameter
"Fixed slat position (0…100%)" to the desired position value.
At the beginning of shading, the output invariably moves the slats to the configured position
after the height of the Venetian blind has been adjusted.
o Set the parameter "Reaction at the beginning of sunshine / shading" to "variable position".
At the beginning of shading, the device recalls the variably specified position value output.
The variable specification of the Venetian blind height, the roller shutter, awning or venting
louver position takes place via the separate communication object
"...pos. sunshine / shading" (in the "Venetian blind" operating mode for the slats also using
the separate object "Slat position sunshine / shading").
i In the "Venetian blind" operating mode, the "variable position" setting can be selected
separately for the height of the Venetian blind and for the slat position. For this reason, the
ETS adapts the parameter selection and enlarges the setting options in this operating
mode.
priority (e.g. safety) is activated at the time of shading.
i "Internal scene recall" setting: For this setting, the scene function of the output must be
enabled in the ETS. Otherwise, the positions approached at the beginning of sun shading
are undefined positions. The scene position values stored in the device by a scene storage
function will be approached as well. A delay configured for scene recalls has no influence
on the recall of the scene value by the sun protection function.
i "Variable position" setting: After an ETS programming operation or after switch-on of the
supply voltage, the
objects "Sunsh./shading ... position" and "Sunsh./ shading slat position" must receive
position values from the bus. Otherwise the device does not position itself at the start of
sun shading as it does not have any valid position data.
When the device is in operation, the position data can be updated at any time via the bus
even if the sun protection is active (e.g. by a weather station for the purpose of sun position
tracking). The device will then immediately approach the newly received positions if the sun
protection is active. If a function with a higher priority is active, the device stores the newly
received position values and approaches them during a later shading operation.
The position data last received are not lost in a bus voltage failure.
Presetting a forced reference movement in the sun protection mode

If needed, a reference movement can be executed by forced-control in the simple and in the
extended sun protection mode at the beginning of a shading cycle, if fixed or variable position
values or scene positions are to be approached. The execution of a reference movement by
forced control at the beginning of shading can be used in a sun protection positioning operation
to ensure that the curtains or slats are moved synchronously by different outputs to identical
positions (e.g. in a long row of windows). Without the execution of reference movement by
forced control, there might otherwise be positioning inaccuracies with a negative effect on the
overall appearance of a building facade with the blinds let down.
1473-1-7829 | Rev. 01 | 3.2012 Page 72 of 144

A reference movement by forced control will always be executed in the simple sun protection
mode, when the beginning of shading is signalled for the first time via the
"Sunshine/shading facade" object. Updates of the object from 'sun is shining' to 'sun is shining'
do not initiate a reference movement if, at this time, the output is still in the sun protection
position.
A reference movement by forced control will be executed in the extended sun protection mode,
when the beginning of shading is signalled via the "Sun shading facade" object and when
automatic operation is active or is activated. Updates of the object from 'sun is shining' to
'sun is shining' will never initiate a reference movement. In this case, the sunshine signal must
first change from 'sun is not shining' to 'sun is shining' before a new reference movement can
take place.
A reference movement by forced control will always be executed for synchronisation purposes
as described and also in such cases where the position data of the blind or the slats are known.
No reference movement by forced control will be executed at the end of shading.
o Set the parameter
"reference movement before every sun protection positioning operation ?" on parameter
page "O1 - Begin of sun protection" to "yes".
At the beginning of shading there is always a reference movement by forced control as
described. The preset position will be approached after the end of the reference movement.
o Set the parameter
"reference movement before every sun protection positioning operation ?" on parameter
page "O1 - Beginning of sun protection" to "no".
A reference movement at the beginning of sun protection will only be executed, if the
position data are unknown, for instance, after an ETS programming operation or after
switch-on of the power supply. In all other cases, the preset shading position will be
approached immediately.
i A reference movement is the time required for a travel movement into the upper end
position increased by 20 % and additionally by the configured travel time extension. A
reference travel is not retriggerable.
i Variable position preset: No reference movement will be executed, if new position values
are preset via the bus while the sun protection is active.
i "Venetian Blind" operating mode: A terminated reference movement of for the height of the
Venetian blind synchronises at the same time also the slat position.

Slat offset in the sun protection mode (only "Venetian blind" operating mode)
An offset can be specified for the slat position at the start of sun shading, if fixed or variable slat
position values are to be approached.
If necessary, the slat offset can correct the fixed or variable nominal slat position and thus allow
the creation of an individual shading situation, when the sun protection is active. The offset can
be preset in two ways...
- The slat offset can be configured statically in the ETS. The configuration of a static offset
value allows variation of the degree of shading in those parts of the building that are not
exposed to full sunshine due to objects in front of the building. The variable slat angle
adjusted by the sun protection control or the fixed angle specified in a parameter can thus
be overridden so that the slats are always opened a bit wider than originally preset.
Alternatively, the slats can also be closed completely by means of the static offset if too
much sunlight is reflected into the room.
- The slat offset can additionally be adapted by the bus via the separate communication
object "Sunshine slat position offset". In this way, the desired slat offset can also be
adjusted during an active shading cycle and independent of a direct operation as, for
instance, the short time mode. Thus, it is possible, for instance, that persons in a room can
correct the slat angle at any time 'manually' and individually by selecting another preset
value at a touch sensor or a visualisation. An offset preset via the object overwrites the
value configured in the ETS.
The preset offset is taken into account in the simple and in the extended sun protection mode
for each positioning move during an active shading cycle (beginning of sun / shading) and
added to the predefined nominal slat position. The offset value can be varied within a range
from -100 % … 0 … 100 % so that the slats can be moved in both directions into the respective
end positions (Figure 24). At an offset of "0 %", the actual slat position is always identical with
the predefined nominal slat position for sun protection purposes.
Figure 24: Functional principle of slat offset

(example showing slat type 1 / slat type 2 identical)
The position value actually adjusted with the offset after adding the slat position value is always
between 0 and 100 %. Minimum and maximum position are thus determined by the slat end
positions. These limits cannot be exceeded by specifying an greater offset. Example
(Figure 24)...
Slat position at start of sun / shading = 90 %
Slat position offset at start of sun / shading = +30 %
-> The resulting slat position is 100% as the end position is reached.
In acc. with the KNX datapoint type 6.001 (DPT_Percent_V8) the data format of the
communication object "Sunshine slat position offset" permits presetting positive and negative
values in a range of -128 … 0 … +127. The device interprets the value received directly as an
offset in %. Values below 100 or above +100 are limited to the minimum (-100 %) and maximum
offset (+100 %) and evaluated accordingly.
An offset preset via the object overwrites the value configured in the ETS. In the event of a bus
voltage failure, an offset value received via the communication object can be stored internally in
1473-1-7829 | Rev. 01 | 3.2012 Page 74 of 144

a non-volatile memory so that the offset value last received is not lost even in case the power
supply fails. As an alternative, the offset preset via the bus can be reset (0 %) in the event of a
power supply failure with the result that the value configured in the ETS is again used in
operation. The offset reaction preset in the event of bus voltage failure can be configured in the
ETS.
Configuring the slat offset in the sun protection mode (only "Venetian blind" operating
mode)
The function must be configured for the "Venetian blind" operating mode.
The reaction at the beginning of sunshine/shading must be configured for fixed or variable
position preset.
o Set the parameter "Offset with fixed and variable slat position" on parameter page
"O1 - Beginning of sun protection" to "no offset".
The offset correction is deactivated. During shading (beginning of sunshine/shading), the
fixed or variable slat position will be approached without offset correction. The other
parameter relating to the offset are blanked out.
o Set the parameter "Offset with fixed and variable slat position" to "offset as configured".
The static offset correction based on the parameter preset in the ETS is activated. During
every shading operation (beginning of sunshine/shading), the nominal slat position is
always corrected by the configured offset value.
o Set the parameter "Offset with fixed and variable slat position" to
"offset as configured and via object".
The offset correction based on the parameter preset in the ETS and via the object is
activated. The slat offset is preset by a fixed value configured in the ETS and can be
adapted dynamically with a separate communication object. During every shading
operation (beginning of sunshine/shading), the nominal slat position is always corrected by
the preset offset value.
o Set the parameter "Slat offset position (-100 … 100 %)" on parameter page
"O1 - Beginning of sun protection" to the desired offset value.
The configured value defines the static offset correction of the slat position. The configured
value can be re-adjusted via the "Sunshine slat position offset" object, if the communication
object has been enabled.
o Set the "Store offset slat position via object in case of bus voltage failure ?" to "No".
The value received via the object will only be stored temporarily in volatile memory. The
received value only replaces the configured value until the device is reinitialised (bus
voltage return, if both were previously switched up). After the initialisation, the offset value
configured in the ETS will be used again.
o Set the "Store offset slat position via object in case of bus voltage failure ?" to "Yes".
The value received via the object will be stored in case of bus voltage failure in a non-
volatile memory of the device. The originally configured offset value is definitely overwritten
in the process. Only a new ETS programming operation sets the offset back to the
configured value.
i An offset value received via the bus is stored temporarily or permanently in the device and
taken into account during the next shading operation. The reception of an offset value
during an active shading phase (beginning of sunshine/shading active) results in an
immediate and 'visible' correction of the offset angle by the output.
i After an ETS programming operation, the offset is always set to the value configured in the
ETS.
1473-1-7829 | Rev. 01 | 3.2012 Page 75 of 144

i Storage of the slat offset position in case of bus voltage failure: The offset value preset via
the object is stored only if the bus voltage has been available without interruption for at
least 20 seconds after the last reset (storage capacitors sufficiently charged for storage
purposes). In all other cases nothing is stored.
i The slat offset has no influence on the behaviour of an output at the end of a shading
phase (end of sunshine/shading).
Presetting the reaction at the end of sunshine / shading (for simple sun protection only)
At the end of the shading phase – if applicable, after the end of the delay time – the output will
show the preset reaction, if no function with a higher priority is active at the time of deactivation.
The preset reaction will also not be executed at the end of sun shading, if the sunshine signal is
overridden on account of priority settings by a direct operation.
The reaction at the end of sun shading is preset on parameter page "O1- Sun protection end".
Depending on the selected mode of operation, the ETS adapts the designations of the
parameter settings ("raising" ↔ "opening the louver" / "lowering" ↔ "closing the louver.
The function must have been configured for simple sun protection.
o Set the parameter "Reaction at the end of sunshine / shading" to "no reaction".
At the end of shading, the relay of the output shows no reaction. Any movements still in
progress at this instant will still be finished.
o Set the parameter "Reaction at the end of sunshine / shading" to
At the end of shading, the device raises the blind or opens the venting louver.
At the end of shading, the device lowers the blind or closes the venting louver.
o Set the parameter "Reaction at the end of sunshine / shading" to "stop".
At the end of shading, the device switches the relays of the output to the "stop" position. A
drive movement, if any, will be interrupted.
o Set the parameter "Reaction at the end of sunshine / shading" to "position tracking".
At the end of shading, the output will be set to the state last adjusted statically before sun
protection or to the state tracked and internally stored during sun protection. The position
objects, the long time object and the scene function are tracked.
priority (e.g. safety) is activated when the sun protection is enabled or when a direct
operation has not overridden the sunshine signal on account of priority settings.
telegram, scene value) at the end of sun protection only if the position data are known and
if the positions have been predefined. There is otherwise no reaction at the end of sun
shading.
Position data can be tracked, if the output was in a defined position before the automatic
sun protection function or if a new position telegram was received via the position objects
during the sun protection. In the latter case, a reference movement will be executed at the
end of sun protection, if the position before or during the sun protection was unknown.
Long time travel movements (movements without position preset) will always be tracked.

Presetting the reaction at the end of sunshine / shading (for extended sun protection
only)
The behaviour of the output at the end of sunshine / shading – if applicable, after the end of the
delay time – can be configured in the ETS. In the extended sun protection mode, the output
shows the configured reaction, when automatic operation is activated and when a new sunshine
signal (change of state from "sun is shining" -> "sun is not shining") is being received. The
reaction will not be executed if a function with a higher priority is active at the time the sunshine
signal changes. The preset reaction will not be executed either, if the sunshine signal is
overridden on account of priority settings by a direct operation.
The reaction at the end of sunshine / shading is preset on parameter page
"O1- Sun protection end". Depending on the selected mode of operation, the ETS adapts the
the louver.
o Set the parameter "Reaction at the end of sunshine / shading" to "no reaction".
At the end of shading, the relay of the output shows no reaction. Any movements still in
progress at this instant will still be finished.

At the end of shading, the device switches the relays of the output to the "stop" position. A
drive movement, if any, will be interrupted.
o Set the parameter "Reaction at the end of sunshine / shading" to "internal scene recall".
The number of the scene to be recalled must be specified in the parameter
"Scene number (1…8)".
At the end of shading, the device recalls the position value for the output which was preset
in the scene configuration. This is not a scene recall as in direct operation, but only an
approach to the corresponding scene position value.

4.2.4.4.6 Settings for automatic heating/cooling

Automatic heating/cooling
Automatic heating/cooling can supplement the extended sun protection so that the sun shading
of a room is available to an additional application.
When automatic heating / cooling is active, a presence signal – e.g. from a KNX / EIB presence
monitor or a detector – is evaluated in addition to the signals of the extended sun protection
function. The automatic sun protection function will then only be activated by the device when
people are in the room. The room is then shaded or not according to the sunshine signal (see
chapter 4.2.4.4.5. Sun protection settings).
If no presence is signalled, the device evaluates in addition a heating/cooling signal derived, for
instance, from a room temperature controller or from an outside thermostat. In this case, the
shading function can be used to support the heating or cooling function in a room. As no
persons are present in the room, intensive sunlight can be used, for instance, to heat up the
room by opening the slats or by raising the curtain. Similarly, the room can also be shaded
against sunlight during the absence of persons, if additional heating up of the room is not
desired.
By evaluating the three 1-bit signals "Presence", "Heating/cooling switchover" and

"Sunshine / shading facade" the telegram polarity of which can be configured independently in
the ETS, the enlarged sun protection function with automatic heating/cooling can differentiate
between the 6 states shown in Table 5 and the corresponding output reactions.
Presence Heating/ Sunshine / Reaction at output

No people Cooling active Sunshine signal Sunshine signal active reaction at the
present active beginning of sunshine/shading with cooling
No people Cooling active Sunshine signal Reaction at the end of sunshine/shading with
present inactive cooling
Table 5: States of the extended sun protection function with heating/cooling switchover
As described for the extended sun protection without automatic heating/cooling, the sunshine
signal will be delayed, if a delay is configured in the ETS for this signal. In the same way, the
presence signal can be evaluated independently after a delay, for example in order to
'debounce' short time changes to the signal state.
The schematic diagram (Figure 25) shows the interaction of the different communication objects
of the extended sun protection function in combination with the
automatic heating/cooling function. The diagram moreover illustrates the principle of
incorporating sensor components into the automatic heating/cooling system.
1473-1-7829 | Rev. 01 | 3.2012 Page 79 of 144

Figure 25: Schematic diagram of automatic heating/cooling

(for reasons of simplicity shown without disabling functions of the automatic or direct operation)
In accordance with the schematic diagram, the automatic heating/cooling function is only active
when the automatic sun protection is active, too. Like in the extended sun protection mode
without automatic heating/cooling, the automatic sun protection is activated via the
object "Automatic" depending on the configuration either immediately or only after a change of
state has been detected for one of the signals "Presence", "Heating/cooling switchover" and
"Sunshine / shading facade" (cf. "Sun protection function – extended sun protection").
After an ETS programming operation or after switch-on of the bus voltage supply), the
corresponding communication objects of the signals "Presence", "Heating/cooling switchover"
and "Sunshine / shading facade" are initialised with "0". In accordance with the preset polarity,
the state of the sunshine and of the presence signal as well as the heating/cooling state will be
determined and the corresponding reaction executed provided the automatic sun protection
function is active. When the automatic sun protection is active, any change of state of the
presence signal or any change in the heating/cooling signal will be evaluated immediately and
the corresponding reaction executed.
The schematic function diagram (Figure 26) shows all possible functions of the extended sun
protection with automatic heating/cooling. For reasons of clarity, the functions with a higher
priority (manual control, forced position, safety function) are not shown in the diagram.

Enabling automatic heating/cooling

Automatic heating/cooling can be preset separately in the ETS. When automatic heating/cooling
is enabled, the extended sun protection function will be supplemented by the necessary
communication objects and parameters.
The sun protection function must be enabled on parameter page "O1 - Enabled functions".
Moreover, the function must have been configured for extended sun protection.
o Set the parameter "Automatic heating/cooling" on parameter page
"O1 - Automatic heating/cooling" to "enabled".
The automatic heating/cooling function is enabled. The necessary parameters and
communication objects are visible.
o Set the parameter "Automatic heating/cooling" on parameter page
"O1 - Automatic heating/cooling" to "disabled".
1473-1-7829 | Rev. 01 | 3.2012 Page 81 of 144

The automatic heating/cooling function is deactivated. The corresponding parameters and

objects are hidden. Only the extended sun protection without evaluation of the heating/
cooling and of the presence signal is now configured.
i If the automatic heating/cooling activation parameters are changed, the group address
assignments and the parameter settings are lost. For this reason, the automatic heating/
cooling parameters should be selected directly at the beginning of configuration and then
not be changed anymore later on.
Presetting the polarity of the "Heating/cooling switchover" object

The telegram polarity of the "Heating / cooling switchover" object can be preset. This means
that an adaptation to the signals from existing room temperature controllers or from outside
thermostats is possible.
For the parameters to be visible, automatic heating/cooling must be enabled on parameter page
"O1 - Automatic heating/cooling".
o Set the parameter "Polarity of 'Heating/cooling switchover' object" to the required telegram
polarity.
The heating/cooling signal is evaluated in accordance with the preset priority.
i An update of the "Heating / cooling switchover" object from active to active or from inactive
to inactive shows generally no reaction. The behaviour of the output is only influenced if a
change of state is detected.
i After switch-on of the bus supply voltage, the heating/cooling switchover function is
initialised with an object value of "0".
Presetting the polarity of the "Heating/cooling presence" object

The telegram polarity of the "Heating / cooling presence" object can be preset. This means that
an adaptation to the signals from existing KNX/EIB presence monitors or detectors is possible.
o Set the parameter "Polarity of 'Heating / cooling presence" object to the required telegram
polarity.
The presence signal is evaluated in accordance with the preset priority.
i An update of the "Heating / cooling presence" object from active to active or from inactive
change of state is detected.
i After presence control of the bus supply voltage, the heating/cooling switchover function is
initialised with an object value of "0".
Presetting a time delay for beginning and end of presence

The telegram received via the object "Heating / cooling presence" for transmission of the
presence state (depending on polarity) can be evaluated with a time delay separately for the
output.
o Set the parameter "Time delay at the beginning of presence" to the required delay time.
1473-1-7829 | Rev. 01 | 3.2012 Page 82 of 144

The telegram for activation of the presence mode will be evaluated with a delay
o Set the parameter "Time delay at the end of presence" to the required delay time.
The telegram for deactivation of the presence mode will be evaluated with a delay
i A setting of "0" in the parameters deactivates the respective delay time. In this case, the
presence state is evaluated immediately on reception of a telegram.
i An update of the "Heating / cooling presence" object from active to active or from inactive
change of state is detected. An update of the presence signal alone does not result in the
activation of automatic operation either.
i The time delay is started after an update of the "Heating / cooling presence" object also in
those cases where the automatic operation is deactivated so that the newly received
presence state may possibly also be processed with a delay, if the automatic operation is
activated later on.
Presetting the reaction of automatic heating/cooling

The behaviour of the output when automatic heating/cooling is active can be configured in the
ETS. A distinction is made between four states in the evaluation of the three 1-bit signals
"Presence", "Heating/cooling switchover" and "Sunshine / shading facade"...
- "Reaction at the beginning of sunshine / shading with heating",

- "Reaction at the end of sunshine / shading with heating",
- "Reaction at the beginning of sunshine / shading with cooling",
- "Reaction at the end of sunshine / shading with cooling".
The reaction of the output can be set separately in the ETS for each of the named states. There
is no difference between the parameter settings for the individual states. For this reason, the
following section only describes the possible configuration as an example.
The reaction at the end of automatic heating/cooling is set on parameter page
"O1 - Automatic heating/cooling". Depending on the selected mode of operation, the ETS
adapts the designations of the parameter settings ("raising" ↔ "opening the louver" / "lowering"
↔ "closing the louver.
o Set the parameter "Reaction at the ... of sunshine / shading" to "no reaction".
During automatic heating/cooling, the relays of the output show no reaction. Any
movements still in progress will still be finished.
o Set the parameter "Reaction at the ... of sunshine / shading" to
During automatic heating/cooling, the device raises the blind or opens the venting louver.
o Set the parameter "Reaction at the ... of sunshine / shading" to
During automatic heating/cooling, the device lowers the blind or closes the venting louver.
o Set the parameter "Reaction at the ... of sunshine / shading" to "stop".
During automatic heating/cooling, the device switches the relays of the output to the "stop"
o Set the parameter "Reaction at the ... of sunshine / shading" to "internal scene recall". The
number of the scene to be recalled must be specified in the parameter
"Scene number (1…8)".
During automatic heating/cooling, the device recalls the position value preset in the scene
configuration for the output. This is not a scene recall as in direct operation, but only an
approach to the corresponding scene position value.
1473-1-7829 | Rev. 01 | 3.2012 Page 83 of 144

o Set the parameter "Reaction at the ... of sunshine / shading" to "fixed position".
During automatic heating/cooling, the device recalls the fixed position value for the output.
i In the "Venetian blind" operating mode, the setting "fixed position" can only be selected in

value.
With automatic heating/cooling, the last set position of the Venetian blind height, the roller
shutter, awning or venting louver will be maintained.
"Fixed slat position (0…100%)" to the desired position value".
During automatic heating/cooling, the output invariably moves the slats to the configured
position after the height of the Venetian blind has been adjusted.
i The configured reactions will not be executed if a function with a higher priority is active
during automatic heating/cooling (e.g. safety function, forced position). The preset reaction
will not be executed either, if the automatic sun protection is overridden on account of
priority settings by a direct operation.

4.2.4.4.7 Scene function settings

Light scene function
A device can hold up to 8 scenes for output 1 and store scene position values for the height of a
Venetian blind, roller shutter or awning or the position of a venting louver. In the 'Venetian
blinds' mode, the user can also preset slat positions. The scene values are recalled or stored
via a separate scene extension object by means of extension telegrams. A scene recall can
optionally take place after a delay.
The datapoint type of the extension object permits addressing a maximum of 64 scenes. This
means that, in the configuration of a scene, it is possible to specify which scene number (1...64)
contacts the internal scene (1...8).
The scene function must be enabled on parameter page "O1 - Enabling functions", for the
required communication objects and parameters (on the parameter page "O1 - Scenes") to be
visible.
Like the output control via short time, long time or position telegrams, the scene function should
be assigned to direct operation. For this reason, a recalled scene position can at any time be
overridden by a forced position or a safety function. The scene position last recalled can also be
readjusted by other telegrams of the direct operation mode. The priority of direct operation and
also of the scene function can be configured with respect to the sun protection function (see
chapter 4.2.4.4.5. Sun protection settings).
Presetting a scene recall delay for the scene function

Each scene recall of the output can optionally also be delayed. With this feature, dynamical
scene sequences can be configured if several outputs are combined with cyclical scene
telegrams.
The scene function must be enabled on parameter page "O1 - Enabled functions".
o Set the parameter "Delay scene recall?" on parameter page "O1 - Scenes" to "yes".
The delay time is now activated and can be configured separately. The delay only
influences the scene recall of the output. The delay time is started on arrival of a recall
telegram. The corresponding scene will be recalled and the output set to the respective
scene position value only after this time has elapsed.
i Each scene recall telegram restarts the delay time and retriggers it. If a new scene recall
telegram is received while a delay is active (scene recall not yet executed), the old (and not
yet recalled scene) will be rejected and only the scene last received executed.
i The scene recall delay has no influence on the storage of scene values. A scene storage
telegram within a scene recall delay terminates the delay and thus the scene recall.
i In case of bus voltage failure, all time functions will be stopped. Therefore, all scene recalls
that are still in the delay stage will be aborted. A scene recall received shortly before bus
voltage failure is then lost, if the corresponding delay has not yet elapsed. A delayed scene
recall will also be aborted, if a function with a higher priority (forced position, safety, sun
protection, if the priority is the same as or higher than that of direct operation) is activated.
The scene recall is nevertheless stored internally so that the scene positions last recalled
can be tracked at the end of a higher-ranking function.
Presetting the ETS download behaviour for the scene function

During storage of a scene, the scene values are stored permanently in the device
(cf. "Presetting the storage behaviour for scene functions"). To prevent the stored values from
being replaced during ETS programming of the application or of the parameters by the originally
programmed scene position values, the device can inhibit overwriting of the scene values. As
an alternative, the original values can be reloaded into the device during each programming run
of the ETS.
1473-1-7829 | Rev. 01 | 3.2012 Page 85 of 144

o Set the parameter "Overwrite the values values in the device during ETS download ?" to
"Yes".
During each ETS programming of the application or of the parameters, the scene values
configured in the ETS for the output will be programmed into the device. Scene values
stored in the device by means of a storage function will be overwritten, if any.
o Set the parameter "Overwrite the values values in the device during ETS download ?" to
"No".
Scene values stored in the device with a storage function will be maintained. If no scene
values have been stored, the position values last programmed in the ETS remain valid.
i When the device is put into operation for the first time, this parameter should be set to
"yes" so that the output is initialised with valid scene values. In the device as delivered, the
scene positions are internally set to default values as in the ETS product database.
Presetting scene numbers

The datapoint type of the scene extension object permits addressing of up to 64 scenes max.
For this reason, the scene number (1...8) with which the scene is addressed, i.e. recalled or
stored, must be determined for each internal scene (1...64) of the output.
o Set the parameter "Scene y activatable by scene number" (y = number of the scene (1…8))
on parameter page "O1 - Scenes" for each scene to the numbers with which the scenes
are to be addressed.
A scene can be addressed with the configured scene number. A setting of "0" deactivates
the corresponding scene so that neither recalling nor storage is possible.
i If the same scene number is configured for several scenes, only the scene with the lowest
internal scene number (1...8) will be addressed. The other internal scenes will be ignored in
this case.
Presetting scene positions

Moreover, the position value (Venetian blind, roller shutter, awning, venting louver position) to
be set for the output in case of a scene recall must be specified as well. In the
"Venetian blind" mode, the height of the Venetian blind and the slat position can be preset.
o Set the parameter "Position ... for scene y" (y = number of the scene (1…8) on
parameter page "O1 - Scenes" for each scene to the desired position (0 %...100 %).
In case of a scene recall, the output is set to the configured position.
i The configured position values are adopted in the device during programming with the ETS
only if the parameter "Overwrite values stored in the device during ETS download ?" is set
to "yes".
i Before approaching the required scene position, the device may perform a reference
movement, if the current position data is unknown (e.g. after an ETS programming
operation or after switch-on of the bus voltage).
1473-1-7829 | Rev. 01 | 3.2012 Page 86 of 144

Presetting the storage behaviour for the scene function

The current position value of a Venetian blind, roller shutter, awning, venting louver and also of
a slat can be stored internally via the extension object on reception of a scene storage telegram.
The position value can be influenced before storage by all functions of the output (e.g. short-
time and long-time operation or scene recall telegram, safety and sun protection function).
o Set the parameter "Storage function for scene y" (y = number of the scene (1…8)) on
parameter page "O1 - Scenes" for each scene to "yes".
The storage function is activated for the scene in question. On reception of a storage
telegram via the "Scene extension" object, the current position value will be internally
stored.
o Set the parameter "Storage function for scene y" (y = number of the scene (1…8)) on
parameter page "O1 - Scenes" for each scene to "no".
The storage function is deactivated for the scene in question. A storage telegram received
via the "scene extension" object will be rejected.
i The following rules apply for the position data to be stored:

The current blind, slat and louver positions are stored. With Venetian blinds, the height to
be stored is always referred to a slat position of 100 %. A position temporarily approached
will also be stored for that output that are involved in a travel movement at the time of data
storage.
On account of the fact that position data is stored as integer percentage values
(rounding to 0...100), a minor deviation from the set positions on a later scene recall cannot
be avoided.
The data is only stored if the bus voltage has been available before without interruption for
at least 20 seconds after the last reset (storage capacitors sufficiently charged for storage
purposes). The data will not be stored, if the position data is unknown.

4.2.4.4.8 Forced position settings

Forced position function
The forced position function can be enabled for the output 1. The forced position has the
highest priority. An active forced position therefore overrides the safety function, the sun
protection function and the direct operation (short time, long time telegram, scenes, positioning).
During a forced-position state, the output is locked so that it can no longer be controlled with
functions of a lower priority.
The forced position function possesses a separate 2-bit communication object. The state of the
output in case of a forced position function is directly determined by the forced position
telegram. The first bit (bit 0) of the "Forced position" object specifies the travel direction to be
forced onto the output as in long time operation. The second bit (bit 1) activates or deactivates
the forced-position state (cf. table 6).
Bit 1 Bit 0 Function

0 x Forced position not active normal control
0 x Forced position not active normal control
1 0 Forced position active, raising / opening the louver
1 1 Forced position active, lowering / closing the louver
Table 6: Bit coding of forced position

The behaviour of an output at the end of the forced-position function can be configured. In
addition, the forced object can be initialised on bus voltage return.
i The forced movement time required by an output to move the drive into the end positions is
determined by the "Movement time" parameter on parameter page "O1 - Times". Like long
time operation, a forced-position movement is derived from the travel time. Downward
movement: movement time + 20 %; Upward movement: movement time + 20 % +
configured movement time extension. Forced movements are not retriggerable.
i The slats of blinds are not repositioned at the end of forced movements into the end
positions.
i Updates of the forced position object from "forced position active" to "forced position active"
while maintaining the forced movement direction or from "forced position inactive" to
"forced position inactive" show no reaction.
i After programming of the application or of the parameters with the ETS, the forced position
is always cancelled.
i The current state of the forced position function will be stored in case of bus voltage failure.
Enabling the forced position function

The forced position function can be enabled.
o Set the parameter "Forced position function" on parameter page "O1 - Enabled functions"
to "enabled".
The forced position function is enabled. The corresponding communication object is
created and the respective parameters on parameter page "O1 - Forced position" become
visible.
1473-1-7829 | Rev. 01 | 3.2012 Page 88 of 144

Presetting the behaviour at the end of the forced position function

The behaviour of the output at the end of the forced position function can be configured. The
behaviour is configured on parameter page "O1 - Forced position".
The forced position function of the output must be enabled on parameter page
"O1 - Enabled functions". Only then are the parameters for the forced position function visible.
o Set the parameter "Behaviour at the end of the forced position function" to
"position tracking".
At the end of a forced position function, the output will be set to the state adjusted statically
before the forced position function or to the state tracked and internally stored during the
forced position function. The position objects, the long time object and the scene function
are tracked.
o Set the parameter "Behaviour at the end of the forced position function" to "no change".
At the end of forced position function, the state last adjusted will not be changed.
Thereafter, the output is again enabled. Any movements still in progress at this instant will
still be finished.
telegram, scene value) during activated forced control only if the position data are known
and if positions have been predefined. If this is not the case, no reaction takes place at the
time forced control is enabled.
Position data can be tracked, if the output has been in a defined position before the forced
position function or if a new position telegram has been received via the position objects
while the forced position function was interlocked. In the latter case, a reference movement
will be executed when the forced position function is enabled, if the position was unknown
before or during the safety interlock.
Long time movements (movements without position preset) will, however, always be
tracked.
i The preset "Behaviour at the end of the forced position function" will only be executed, if
the output passes over to direct operation at the end of the forced position function. If a
safety function or a sun protection function is activated (independent of the preset priority
with respect to direct operation), the function with the next lower priority will be executed.
The configured behaviour is not executed when the forced position is terminated by a
specification on bus voltage return. The parameter "Behaviour after bus voltage return" will
in this case be evaluated.
Presetting the behaviour of the forced position function after bus voltage return
The forced position communication object can be initialised after bus voltage return. In this way,
an output can be influenced and locked on bus initialisation when the forced position function is
being activated.
The behaviour of the forced position after bus voltage return is configured separately on the
parameter pages "O1 - Forced position".
After bus voltage return, the configured state is transferred to the "Forced position"
communication object.
The forced position function of the output must be enabled on parameter page
"O1 - Enabled functions". Only then are the channel-related parameters for the forced position
function visible.
o Set the parameter "Behaviour after bus voltage return" to "no forced position active".
The forced position is deactivated after bus voltage return. In this case, the parameter
"Behaviour after bus voltage return" will be evaluated on bus voltage return.
o Set the parameter "Behaviour after bus voltage return" to
"forced position function ON, raising" or "forced position function ON, opening the louver".
1473-1-7829 | Rev. 01 | 3.2012 Page 89 of 144

After bus voltage return, the forced position is activated and the blind raised or the venting
louver opened. The output is interlocked by forced control until an enable signal is received
via the bus. In this case, the parameter "Behaviour after bus voltage return" will not be
evaluated for the output.
"forced position function ON, lowering" or "forced position function ON, closing the louver".
After bus voltage return, the forced position is activated and the blind lowered or the
venting louver closed. The output is interlocked by forced control until an enable signal is
received via the bus. In this case, the parameter "Behaviour after bus voltage return" will
not be evaluated for the output.
"state of forced position before bus failure".
After bus voltage return, the forced position state last selected and internally stored before
bus voltage failure will be tracked. An ETS programming operation deletes the stored state
(reaction in that case same as with "no forced position active"). If the tracked state
corresponds to "no forced position active", the parameter
"Behaviour after bus voltage return" will be executed on return of bus voltage.
i Setting or tracked state "no forced position active": The reaction of the output after return of
bus voltage is defined by the parameter "Behaviour after bus voltage return".
i After programming of the application or of the parameters with the ETS, the forced position
is always cancelled.

4.2.4.4.9 Fabric stretching settings

Fabric-stretching function
In the roller shutter/awning operating mode, the fabric stretching function can be activated. The
fabric stretching function permits 'smoothing' the fabric of an awning tight after lowering. The
fabric stretching function can also be used with roller shutters to reopen the slits of the shutter
curtain after a downward movement into the lower end position.
If activated in the ETS parameters, fabric stretching is executed during each downward
movement after stopping and after the configured switchover delay has elapsed. The curtain is
then 'stretched' by moving briefly into the opposite movement direction (Figure 27).
Figure 27: Fabric stretching in an awning
The downward movement can be triggered by any of the following events: Long time, short time
or position telegram, forced position, safety or sun protection function or scene recall.
Fabric stretching is never effected in upward movements.
i Fabric stretching affects the determination of positions and the position feedback since a
fabric stretching movement changes the position of a shutter or an awning. In a positioning
move into the lower end position (100 %), the position value reported back after the fabric
stretching operation will always be a smaller one.
i Fabric stretching cannot be configured in the Venetian blind or louver modes of operation.
Activating the fabric stretching function

The fabric stretching function can be activated on parameter page "O1 - Enabled functions".
The operating mode selected must be the "Roller shutter/awning" mode.
o Set the parameter "Fabric stretching function" to "enabled".
Parameter page "O1 - Fabric stretching" is enabled and the fabric stretching function is
activated.
i Fabric stretching cannot be configured in the Venetian blind or louver modes of operation.
Presetting the fabric stretching function

The fabric stretching function can be configured independently for each roller shutter or awning
output on parameter page "O1 - Fabric stretching". The movement time required for fabric
stretching by means of a movement in opposite direction can be configured.
The fabric stretching function must be activated.
1473-1-7829 | Rev. 01 | 3.2012 Page 91 of 144

o Select the desired value for the "Time for fabric stretching" parameter.
After the end of a downward movement the blind stops and – after the switchover delay
has elapsed – moves backwards in opposite direction for a period corresponding to the
configured fabric stretching time.
i Set the time for fabric stretching to less than the configured or measured movement time of
the roller shutter or awning. Otherwise, there is the risk of malfunction.
i Fabric stretching will only be effected if the downward movement lasts longer than the
configured fabric stretching time.

4.2.4.5 Priorities for the output

The device distinguishes between different functions that can have an effect on the output. In
order to prevent conflicting states, each available function has a certain priority. The function
with the higher priority overrides the one with the lower priority.
For output 1 there are the following priorities...

- 1nd priority: forced position
- 2rd priority: safety function(s)
Priority levels 3 and 4 can be parameterized in the ETS. The options are then...
- 3th priority: sun protection function
- 4rd priority: direct operation via the bus (short time/long time operation, positioning,
scenes),
or...
- 3rd priority: direct operation via the bus (short time/long time operation, positioning,
scenes),
- 4th priority: sun protection function
or...
- 3rd priority: sun protection function and direct operation via the bus (short time/long time
operation, positioning, scenes).

Effect of the extension The device possesses extension inputs,
inputs which can have an internal effect on the
Venetian blind output or, alternatively,
affect the KNX/EIB separately,
depending on this parameter.
I1, I2 & I3 separately on the With the effect on the bus, the inputs
bus can, independently of one another,
transmit telegrams for switching or
dimming for Venetian blind control or
value encoder use (dimming value
encoder, light scene extension). They
then function like a pushbutton interface.
I1 & I2 internally on O1, I3 With the internal effect, inputs 1 and 2
separately on the bus directly operate the Venetian blind
output (O1). This configuration also
corresponds to the as-delivered status
(unprogrammed device). In this way, it is
possible, for example, for a connected
Venetian blind 'on the building site' to be
commissioned and operated simply by
applying the bus voltage and without
using additional sensors.
In this setting, extension input 3 also
affects the bus.

Parameters
Short - long - short A STEP is transmitted with a rising flank

and the "Time between short and long
time operation" started. This STEP
serves the purpose of stopping a
continuous movement. If, within the
started time, a falling flank is detected,
the input does not transmit an additional
telegram. If no falling flank was detected
during the time, a MOVE is transmitted
automatically after the time has elapsed
and the "slat adjustment time" is started.

Parameters
h Input x - Transmit cyclically (X = 1, 2, 3) - Only for "Switching" function!

Cyclical transmission ? Optionally, the object values can be
transmitted cyclically to the bus for the
"Switching" function. For this, the
transmission criteria must first be
defined in the ETS. This parameter
specifies with which value cyclical
transmission should take place.
The object value entered in the
switching objects by the device on a
flank change or externally by the bus is
always transmitted cyclically. The object
value is then also transmitted cyclically
when "no reaction" is assigned to a
rising or falling flank. Cyclical
transmission also takes place directly
after bus voltage return, if the reaction
after bus voltage return corresponds to
the transmission criterion for cyclical
transmission. During an active disable,
no cyclical transmissions take place via
the disabled input.
No cyclical transmission There is no cyclical transmission.
Repeat on ON Transmission takes place cyclically
when the object value is "ON".
Repeat on OFF Transmission takes place cyclically
when the object value is "OFF".
Repeat on ON and OFF Transmission takes place cyclically
irrespective of the object value.

same priority The sun protection can be overridden by
direct operation and vice versa. Only
after the next reception of a
"sun is shining" signal will the sun

same priority The evaluation of the sunshine signal in
the automatic mode can be overridden
by a direct operation. In the same way, a
direct operation is overridden by the
reception of a new sunshine telegram.
higher priority The automatic mode has the higher

of the sunshine signal. A direct
operation will be possible again only
after the automatic mode is terminated.
Lower priority The direct operation has the higher

Delay scene recall ? Yes A scene is recalled via the scene
extension object. If needed, the scene
No recall on the device can be made with a
delay after reception of a recall telegram
(setting: "Yes"). The recall is
alternatively made immediately on
reception of the telegram (setting: "No").
A recall delay has no influence on the
storage of scene values.

prevent the stored values from being
replaced during an ETS programming
operation by the originally programmed
scene states, the device can inhibit
overwriting of the scene values (setting:
"No"). As an alternative, the original
values can be reloaded into the device
during each ETS programming
operation (setting: "Yes").

function directly determined by the forced
position telegram. The behaviour of the
output at the end of the forced position
function can be configured.
Tracking the position At the end of the forced position state,
the output will be set to the position last
existing before the forced position
function or to the one tracked internally
while the forced position function was
active.
No change At the end of forced position state, the
position last adjusted will not be
changed. Thereafter, the output is again
enabled.

Parameters
Forced position on, raising / After bus voltage return, the forced
opening the louver position is activated and the blind raised
or the venting louver opened.
Forced position on, After bus voltage return, the forced
lowering / closing the louver position is activated and the blind

stored before bus voltage failure will be
tracked. An ETS programming operation
deletes the stored state (reaction in that
case same as with "no forced position
