temperature. This also works if the operation mode of the intelligent device
is switched to OFF.

detection: If this function is activated the device will detect a temperature drop in the
room and switch off the radiator.
sing the slider you can change Using the slider you can change the sensibility (temperature drop within a
time) of the detection.
Further the time for the heating break can be defined. After this break the
thermostat will request new values from the intelligent device and continue
with the regulation based on its set- and actual-temperature.
Overview Ethernet CI:
The ECI is a central device that serves the purpose of a connection between the wireless xComfort
system and the Ethernet Standard. The different types are ‘LAN with external Power supply’ and ‘
LAN with PoE (Power over Ethernet)’. In the future an additional WLAN type will be available.
The main use of this device will be:
·
Control and connect xComfort RF devices using LAN
· Routing of connections between xComfort RF devices over Ethernet (min. 2 ECI are
necessary)
Control and connect xComfort RF devices over Ethernet:
Similar to the USB-CI the ECI can be connected to any xComfort RF device using its 99
datapoints. Control of the connected devices can be done by a 3rd party application that has
access to the ECI over Ethernet.
Routing of connections between xComfort RF devices over Ethernet:
If there are at least 2 ECI in the project it is possible that connections between xComfort devices
are routed over Ethernet. Basically that is defined automatically when connections are calculated
by the MRF using the different reception quality information and the Ethernet Routing rules. The
difference to a normal RF routing is only that one partial path can be routed over Ethernet instead
of RF. The option of Ethernet-Routing can be activated/deactivated separately for every ECI.
Additionally if there is a project topology defined one or more ECI can be defined as
Ethernet-communication node for a Topology-area. xComfort devices of different Topology-areas
can only communicate over their nodes with each other. This gives the advantage of having control
over the exact way that devices will communicate.
General Configuration:
A maximum of 255 ECI can be used in a single MRF project. Every ECI can have up to 255
Routing paths (of which 13 can be RF Routing paths) and 99 direct connections using its
datapoints. After the device has been scanned the device is shown with its device symbol and
default name (Ethernet CI). Depending on its configuration the device symbol can look different.
