1. General

The Binary input fulfils the individual demands in functional buildings as well as in residential

buildings. In the same way, system planners are provided with varied application possibilities with

regard to the implementation of functions. The binary input can install to be system with EIB/KNX

bus and other device, and the functions are both simple to operation and intuitive. Users can program

it according to the requirement to implement the function systematically.

This manual provides detailed technical information about the binary input for users as well as

assembly and programming details, and explains how to use the binary input by the application

examples.

1.1 Product and functional overview

The binary input is a modular installation device for fast installation in the distribution board on

35 mm mounting rails to DIN EN 60 715. The electrical connection is implemented using screw

terminals. The connection to the bus is implemented using the supplied bus connection terminal. The

binary input is connected to the input directly instead of an extra voltage supply. It is able to use the

Engineering Tool Software ETS (ETS2 v1.3 or later) with a VD2/VD3 file to allocate the physical

address and set the parameters, but a VD3 file imported is required for EST3 software.

The devices feature one manual operation button and one LED per channel. The inputs can be
operated manually with this button, and the LED indicates contact connection state. In the case
of manual operation, there is no additional voltage input.

The binary inputs serve as interfaces for operation of EIB/KNX systems via conventional

buttons/switches or for coupling of binary signals (signal contacts, such as input 24V~230V).

The binary input has many functions that can be used in a wide variety of application areas. The

following list provides an overview:

 Switch and dimming function. (also 1 button operation)
 Control of blinds and shutters. (also 1 button operation)
 Sending of values e.g. temperature values、time etc.
 Control and storing of light scenes.
 Operation of various loads by multiple push button actions.
 Operation of several loads in a fixed switching sequence.
 Standard counting and differential counting
 Channel disable/enable function

3
 Each input can take over any of the functions described above. Buttons on the front of the

device can be used to simulate the input state. The status of the inputs are displayed by LEDS.

distinguish between long and short operation in Fig.5.7. It is opposite in Fig. 5.9.

17
 Fig.5.7 Parameter window “Switch”（No distinction long/short operation）

Parameter “Distinction between long and short operation”

This parameter defines whether the input distinguishes between a short and long operation. If

“yes” is selected, there is a delay after opening/closing the contact to determine whether there is

a short or long operation. Only then is a possible reaction triggered.

The following diagram illustrates the function.

Option： yes
No

Note：The long operation in the below chapters are the same with here. TL is the period after

which a push button action is recognised as a long operation.

Parameter “Cyclical send Tele. “Tele. Switch””

This parameter is visible if there is no distinction between a short and long operation. It is

able to set whether to send the current value of object “Switch, X” cyclically on the bus.

Options：
No
Always
If switch off
If switch on

If the parameter value “always” is selected, the object sends cyclically on the bus, regardless

of its value is 0 or 1. If the parameter value “if switch off” or “if switch on” is set, only the

corresponding object value is sent cyclically.

Parameter “Reaction on closing the contact （ rising edge ） ”/“Reaction on opening the
contact(falling edge)”

This parameter is visible if there is no distinction between a short and long operation. There

is set the reaction on closing (rising edge) or opening (falling edge) the contact.

18
Options： No action
Off
On
Toggle
Stop cyclic send

If “Toggle” is selected, the current operation is inverted in next operation. For example, if the

current operation is “On”, the next operation will become “off”.

If “Stop cyclic transmission” is selected, it will stop the cyclical sending telegram till there is

a new object value to be sent. If “No action” is selected, it will not implement any operation.

Parameter “Interval of Tele. cyclic send： Base × Factor”

This parameter is used to set the interval time between two telegrams that are sent cyclically,

it is visible if cyclical sending has been set. Transmission cycle time =Base× Factor.

Base options： 0.5s/1s/ …/1h

Factor options： 1…255

Parameter “Send object value after voltage recovery (if yes not equal toggle)”

It can be set whether to send the value of the object “Tele. Switch, X” on the bus after bus

voltage recovery, this parameter is visible if there is no distinction between a short and long

operation.

Options：
Yes
No

If “Yes” is selected, a value is however only sent on the bus if the value “toggle” has not been

set in either of the two parameters “Reaction on closing the contact (rising edge)/ opening the

contact (falling edge)”. If one of the two parameters has the value “toggle”, no values are sent in

general on the bus after bus voltage recovery. If “No reaction” or “Stop cyclic transmission” is

selected, there is no values are sent on the bus either.

Parameter “Debounce time”

This parameter is used to set the debounce time. Debouncing prevents unwanted multiple

operation of the input, e.g. due to bouncing of the contact. Options：

10ms/20ms/……/150ms/Min. operation

The “minimum operation” time can only be set when there is no distinction between a short

and a long operation. This option is different from others, the Minimum time of the contact

operation is not only means the effective time when contact close, but also the contact open. The

19
parameter window can be shown in Fig. 5.8:

Fig 5.8 Parameter window “X-Mini Time”

Parameter “Minimum operation time : Base×Factor”

The minimum time of the contact operation is：Base×Factor

Base options： 100ms/ ……/1h

Factor options： 1~255

Note：The parameter window “Debounce time” and the explanation of option “Min.

operation” are the same with here in the below chapters.

To prevent the debounce process：If a pulse edge is detected at the input, the input reacts to it

immediately (e.g. by sending a telegram). The debounce time TD starts simultaneously. The signal

at the input is not evaluated within the debounce period. As shown below:

20
 Once a pulse edge has been detected at the input, further edges are ignored for the duration of

the debounce time TD.

The process of preventing debounce in the below chapters are the same with here. TD is the

effective time of a pulse edge input ,namely the period after a input signal is recognised as a

operation.

Fig.5.9 Parameter window “Switch”（Distinction long/short operation）

Parameter “Connected contact type”

21
 This parameter is visible if there is distinction between a short and long operation. It is used

to set whether the input contact is a normally closed or normally open contact. Options：

The parameter is visible if the option yes has been selected with the parameter distinction

between long and short operation. Here defines the period T L after which an operation is

interpreted as “long”. TL＝Base × Factor

Base options： 100ms/1s/…… /1h

Factor options： 2~255

Parameter “Number of objects for short/long object operation”

The parameter is visible if the option yes has been selected with the parameter distinction

between long and short operation. It is able to set one or two communication objects for short/long

operation. When one communication object is set, long and short operations share a

communication object. When two communication objects are set, long and short operations use a

communication object separately.

Options：
1object

example, the normally close connect type is just opposite.

Parameter “Store scene”

This parameter defines the manner in storing of the current scene.

Options： No

On long operation

With object value=‟1‟

On long operation and object value=‟1‟

The manner of storing scene in the following table provides an overview:
Parameter value Behavior
On long operation As soon as a long operation is detected,
the object “store scene, X” sends the value
“1”on the bus and the objects “Output…, group
A…F” send read out telegram. If the object

30
 “ store scene, X” have received a telegram “1” ,
then the object value “1” will not send out
again when long operation. The objects
“Output…, group A…F” can be modified via
the bus for the duration of the long operation.
Once the long operation has finished, the
object “Store scene, X” sends the value “0” on
the bus and the current object value can not be
modified.
On the long operation, If the object “Store
scene, X” receives the value “0” on the bus,
even the long operation has not finished, the
current object value also can‟t be modified.
If object value=‟1‟ If the object “Store scene, X” receives the
value “1”, the object values “Output…, group
A…F” are read out via the bus. Then the
objects “Output…, group A…F” can be
modified via the bus.
On receipt of the object value “0”, the
current object values can‟t be modified.
On long operation and object value=‟1‟ If the object “Store scene, X” receives the
value “1” on the bus, on the next long
operation, the objects “Output…, group A…E”
send read out the telegram. The object values
“Output…, group A…E” can be modified via
the bus for the duration of the long operation.
If the object “Store scene, X” receives the
value “0” on the bus ,the current object value
can‟t be modified; or the long operation has
finished, the object “Store scene, X” sends the
value “0” on the bus and the current object
values also can‟t be modified.
Provided that a “1” has not been received
at the object “Store scene, X”, a long operation
is interpreted in the same way as a short
operation.

Parameter “Long operation after”

This parameter is visible when the parameter “Store scene” is “On long operation” or “On
long operation and object value= „1‟”, it is defines the period TL here, after which an operation is
interpreted as “long”.

31
 Options： 0.3s/0.5s/……/10s

Parameter “Debounce time”

This parameter is used to set the debounce time. Debouncing prevents unwanted multiple

operation of the input, e.g. due to bouncing of the contact. Options：

10ms/20ms/……/150ms

Parameter “Control of actuator group A…F by”

This parameter is able to set various data types for each of 6 actuator groups A„F. The

actuator groups can be controlled via max. 6 individual objects. Data types of the object “Output

1bit/1byte/2byte, group A…F” depend on the data types which has been selected for the actuator

groups.

Options： 1bit value [ON/OFF]

1byte value[scale 0…100%]
1byte value[0…255]
2byte value [float]

Parameter “Preset value actuator group A…F”

The parameter is used to set the preset value for each actuator group A…F. The value range

depends on the data type set for the parameter “control of actuator group A…F by”.

Parameter “Store group A…F by object”

It is used to set whether the preset value is allowed to be modified via the bus. Options:
Yes
No

If the option yes is selected, the preset value can be modified via the object “Output

1bit/1byte/2byte, group A…F”. If the bus voltage recovery this value will be modified as preset

value. That is, the stored value is not saved.

5.5.2.5 Switching sequence

Parameter window “Switching sequence” can be shown in Fig. 5.13. It is visible if the

function of the channel “Switching sequence” is selected. The switching sequence function

enables up to five switch objects to be modified in a defined sequence by actuation of just a single

input. Thus, up to reach five actuators or actuator groups can be switched in a defined sequence.

32
 Fig.5.13 Parameter window “Switching sequence，X”

Parameter “Connect contact type”

This parameter is used to set whether the input contact is a normally closed or normally open

contact. Options：
Normally open
Normally closed
The parameters that are described in this chapter are based on normally open connect type as
example, the normally closed connect type is just opposite.

Parameter “No .of objects”

The parameter set the number of communication objects has the same meaning the number of

levels (max.5)：The communication objects “level-1” to “level-5” are enabled accordingly.

Options： 2level
3level
4level
5level
For example, parameter “3level” means there are 3 communication objects: “level-1”,
“level-2”, and “level-3”. The first operation modified the value of “level-1”, the second operation
modified the value of “level-2”, the third operation modified the value of “level-3”, the fourth
from modified the value of “level-3”……, the switch sequence is: 000,001,011,111,011……The
data send on the bus is the value of the communication object that after modified, which is the

33
alterative data.
The communication object “level increment/decrement, X” is used to increase or decrease the
switch level, „1‟ means increase 1 level and „0‟ means decrease.
The follow table describes in detail (A 3 Level sequence as an example, the type is
sequentially on/off (one push button)):
Switching sequence Value of the communication objects
Input operation number Binary code Level-3 Level-2 Level-1
0 000 Off Off Off
1 001 Off Off On
2 current operation 011 Off On On
3 111 On On On
4 011 Off On On
„„ „„ „„ „„ „„
In the above table, the current operation is 2; the next time will be to operation 3. But if the
object “level increment/decrement, X” receive „1‟(Increase a Level) the next time will jump one
time forward ,and the next time will be to operation 4; also if the object “level increment /
decrement, X” receive „0‟(decrement a level) the next time will jump one time backward ,and the
next time will be to position 2(no change).
In this function ,It only send the changed bit(This code value compare to the operation -1
value ), for example from operation 2 to operation 3, The Most Significant Bit is changed, the
object according to Level 3 will send value „1‟.
Although the number of levels is different, their processes are similar in the case of the same
switch sequence type.

Parameter “Type of switching sequence”

The switching sequence can be selected here. Each sequence has other object values for each

switching level.

Options：Sequentially on/off (one push button)

Sequentially on/off (several push buttons)
All combinations

Take “3level” as the example to explain the difference between them (send the changed data

on the bus, data “0”= OFF, “1”=ON)：

Type of switching sequence Example
Sequentially on/off (one push button) …-000-001-011-111-011-001-…
Sequentially on/off (several push buttons) 000-001-011-111or 111-011-001-000
All combinations …-000-001-011-010-110-111-101-100-… (Gray code)

Parameter “Function on operation”

34
 The parameter is only visible in the switching sequence “Sequentially on/off (several push

buttons)”. It can be set whether an operation of the push button switches up or down a level.

Options： Switch upwards

Switch downwards

The implement direction of the parameter “Switch upwards” is “000-001-011-111”, the

implement direction of the parameter “Switch downwards” is “111-011-001-000”.After the bus

voltage recovery, the current value is 000, if the parameter “Switch downwards” is selected, the

effect will be invisible when operation, then it is possible to operation after switch up a few levels

by the object “level increment/decrement, X”.

Parameter “Sequence is…”

This parameter indicate the manage process of switching sequence.

Parameter “Debounce time/Min Time”

This parameter is used to set the debounce time. Debouncing prevents unwanted multiple

operation of the input, e.g. due to bouncing of the contact. Options：

10ms/20ms/……/150ms/Min. operation

The “Min. operation” can be set in fig.5.8.

5.5.2.6 Counter

Parameter window “Counter，X” can be shown in Fig. 5.14. It is visible when the input is
operated with the function “counter”.

Using the “Counter” function, the device is able to count the number of pulse edges at the

input. A “differential counter” is therefore available if required in addition to the standard counter.

Both counters are triggered by counting pulses but otherwise operate independently of each other.

The data width which has been selected for both counters can be set to same or different.

The function of differential counter is similar with the main counter. The different is that the

differential counter can reset the counter value (count from the initial value) and stop counting

after overflow via the bus.

The parameters of main counter can be set in fig. 5.14(1) and fig. 5.14(2). The parameters of

differential counter can be set in fig. 5.14(1) and fig. 5.14(3). The parameters set as follows：

Closing contact (rising edge)
Opening contact (falling edge)
Both (rising and falling)

If “Closing contact (rising edge)” is selected，the input pulse is only generated with a closing

contact (rising edge).

If “Opening contact (falling edge)” is selected，the input pulse is only generated with a

36
opening contact (falling edge).

If “Both (rising and falling)” is selected，the input pulse is generated with a opening contact

(falling edge) and a closing contact (rising edge).

Parameter “Mode of counter”

The mode of counting of the counter is set with this parameter. Options：
Normal+1
Manual set

If “Normal+1” is selected，the counter value is incremented by one with generated a input

pulse；

If “Manual set” is selected，the following two parameters appear.

Parameter “Divider: number of input pulse for one counter step [1…10000]”

The parameter is visible if the option manual set has been selected with the parameter mode

of counter. It is used to set the number of input pulses required to generate a counter pulse for the

main and differential counter. For example, the counter states are incremented by 1 after 5 input

pulses. Options：1 … 10000

Parameter “Factor: one counter step changes counter value by [-10000…10000]”

The parameter is visible if the option manual set has been selected with the parameter mode

of counter. It is used to set the level of change on the counter state with each counter pulse for the

main and differential counter. Options：-10000…10000

Negative entry e.g. -5, defines a decrementing counter, e.g. -100„0.

Positive entry e.g. 10, defines an incrementing counter, e.g. 0„100

Parameter “Send object values after voltage recover”

The parameter set whether the device sends the object value “Mcounter: counter value, X” on

the bus after bus voltage recover. If the differential counter has been enabled, it also sends the

object value “Dcounter: counter value, X” on the bus. Options：

Yes
No

The main and differential counters are reset to the starting value in the bus voltage failure.
Parameter “Cyclically send counter value: Base × Factor”

The parameter is used to set the interval time between two telegrams that are sent cyclically.

Transmission cycle time=Base ×Factor.

Base options： 100ms/1s/1min/1h

37
 Factor options： 1…255
Note:
Counting rules (the mode of counter):
If a decrementing counter is defined with the parameter “factor: one counter step
changes counter value by [-10000…10000]”, namely negative counting, the initial value is
for the high limit value. The device counts from the high limit to low limit. When the count
value is less than low limit value, it will overflow. Then the new count value=the count
value – the low limit value + the high limit value +1, and the device will start continually
counting from the new count value.
If an incrementing counter is defined with the parameter “factor: one counter step
changes counter value by [-10000…10000]”, namely positive counting, the initial value is
for the low limit value. The device counts from the low limit to high limit. When the count
value is greater than the high limit, it will overflow. Then the new count value=the count
value - the high limit value + the low limit value -1, and the device will start continually
counting from the new count value.
The application program automatically compares the counter limit value1 and limit
value 2, looks for the high limit value from both set limits, and commences to count up or
down to suit the counting direction. (About the high / low limit value parameters are
described below). The mode of counter is the same for the main and differential counter.
It is important to ensure that both limit values are set to different values. If identical
end limit values are entered the behaviour of the counter cannot be defined.
When disable the counter function, both input scanning and object in/out are disabled.
Any input status change will be ignored.

40
 If “Continue circular counting” is selected，the counter continues circular counting. If the

actual value falls below the low limit value (only possible with a decrementing counter) or

exceeds the high limit value (only possible with an incrementing counter), the new count value is

set to the start count value and the pulse count is continued. The new count value is described in

the above chapters.

If “Stop until reset” is selected，the counter stops counting and waits for a reset. If the actual

value falls below the low limit value (only possible with a decrementing counter) or exceeds the

high limit value (only possible with an incrementing counter), the object “Dcounter: stop, X” will

send telegram “0” on the bus, and the counter stops counting, until the counter value is reset or the

object “Dcounter: stop, X” receiving telegram “1”. If the object “Dcounter: stop, X” receiving

6. Description of communication object

The communication object is the medium to communicate other device on the bus, namely
only the communication object can communicate with the bus. The communication object and the
object in each channel are the same, using channel A as the example to introduce the function of
each communication object in the following.

6.1 Communication object “Manual/Automatic”

Note: “C” in “Flag” column in the below table means that the object has a normal link to the bus; “W” means

the object value can be modified via the bus; “R” means the value of the object can be read via the bus; “T” means

that a telegram is transmitted when the object value has been modified; “U” means that value response telegrams

are interpreted as a write command, the value of the object is updated.
