3.1.2 Copy and exchange
parameter settings
Parameterization of devices can take a lot of time depending on the com-
plexity of the application program and the number of device inputs/outputs.
To keep the commissioning work to the minimum possible, using the func-
tion
Copy/exchange channels , parameter settings of an input/output can
be copied or exchanged with freely selectable inputs/outputs. Optionally,
the group addresses can be retained, copied or deleted in the target in-
put/output.
The copy function for inputs/outputs is particularly useful with devices having
the same parameter settings for several outputs, inputs or groups. For ex-
ample, lamps in a room are frequently controlled in an identical manner.
In this case, the parameter settings from input/output X can be copied to all
other inputs/outputs or to a special input/output of the device. Thus the pa-
rameters for this input/output must not be set separately, which significantly
shortens the commissioning time.
The exchange of parameter settings is useful, e.g. should the inputs/outputs
be swapped when wiring the terminals. The parameter settings of the incor-
rectly wired inputs/outputs can be simply exchanged saving the requirement
for time-consuming rewiring.
3.1.2.1 Procedure
x
Import the current VD3 file into ETS3 and add a device with the current
application program to the project.
x
Click with the right mouse button on the device, whose inputs/outputs
you wish to copy or exchange, and select the
context menu
Copy/Exchange channels .
x
Subsequently the required settings are undertaken in
the dialog
Copy/Exchange channels .
