8.3.4.2 Use of screen mode grouping in a CAN based system
Like dimmer grouping it is also possible to group several XDi-N indicators with multiple screens in a screen mode
group. All indicators in the same group will show the screen that is assigned to the active mode for the group. If
the screen mode on one of the indicator in the group is toggled to a new active mode, then all the other XDi-N
indicators in this group will receive a CAN command to follow.
By default, XDi-
N is in “Local mode” (0) so to make a group you must change the active mode group, for example
to group 1:
Press OK to select another group:
highlight Gr.1 and press OK
You can now change the screen assigned to each Mode in Gr. 1 for this XDi indicator or keep them as they are.
You must make this setup in all indicators you want to be in the same mode group.
Note:
In a customized library it is possible to make a default mode group setting (e.g. Gr.1) and also make a
different default screen assignment to the group. The default screen mode setup is located in the selected Product
Profile.
8.3.4.3 How can you use the screen mode function
Using this Mode group function, it is possible to make an integrated system with 4 working modes, where all the
XDi-N indicators in the same group shifts to the screen that is preselected for this working mode.
