2.3. Special objects
2.3.1. Analog sensors
Description
The objects of the analog sensors offer the possibility of integrating analog measuring devices in Dupline and
processing their values. It is possible to select among four types of sensor functions.
Measuring sensor
General sensor object, with which all the other sensor types can be integrated (the following sensors, such as
the light sensor, are indicated by different icons and the measuring ranges are partly pre-defined).
Since all sensors operate in the same way, their functions are illustrated by means of the general measuring
sensor.
Light sensor
This pre-defined object for the light sensor operates in the same way as the measuring sensor, but has a
different icon and the preset measuring range of 0.1 to 100,000 Lux.
Wind sensor
This sensor object is intended for the integration of a wind meter (anemometer), but requires a conversion
module. Apart from that, this object operates like the measuring sensor.
Temperature sensor
This object also operates in the same way as the measuring sensor, but has its own icon for easy recognition.
General information
Channels for analog transmission operate in the same way as other switching channels. For example, they
cannot be switched with switches that operate on the same channel. This means that an additional channel is
needed when for example a sensor only is to be switched manually and only at a certain time.
Furthermore, analog values cannot be processed by means of flags. Instead, it is possible to configure any
number of analog sensors so that they relate to the same “source value”.
• Function: Transmission and output of analog values (from temperature, light and other
sensors) to perform switching functions
• Application: Display of analog (AnaLink) values on text display/touchscreen: load switching
(for example heating elements, lamps, roller blinds) in relation to temperature or outdoor
light, etc.
• Readout at any time of analog values in relation to external values
• Up to two switching ranges can be defined on each channel
• Disabling of switching operations through an additional channel or flag
• Select with mouse “Analink Sensor”
