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