G 3800 X036 Operation Manual

When "Read External Input" is selected for an address configured as Analink, it becomes possible to enter the
Dupline ID no. and address from which the Analink shall be read and used as input. In the example above,
address D2 has been defined as Analink wind sensor, but because "Read External Input" is selected, the wind
speed value does not come from the local Dupline network, but from the Dupline network with ID no 02
address F5. Other functions such as limit value monitoring with Control Output works exactly as if the Analink
value came from a local sensor. So even though the Mastergenerators in the RS485 link are using the same
input value from the Dupline network with ID 2 address F5, they can operate with different wind speed limits
for forcing roller blinds up.
2.7.4. Status Indicator
Whereas "Ext. Ref." and "Read External Input" are referring to inputs from other Dupline networks, the
"Status Indicator" refers to an external output. This means that it is possible to assign the output of a Dupline
channel simply to be a copy of an address in another Dupline network. Only addresses defined as
blank/indicator. Only addresses defined as blank/indicator channels can be used as Status Indicators (see sec.
2.2.1). The Status Indicator function can eg be used in connection with alarm systems. Each Dupline has it own
alarm system, but by using the Status Indicator function it is possible in a Dupline network to read the
status of an alarm signal in any other Dupline network.
