Energy saving functions
flexyPage displays provide various possibilities to reduce the energy consumption and extend the life
span of the displays.
DVI/HDMI
If a monitor is connected via HDMI, the flexyPage device can prompt the monitor via the HDMI cable, to
switch into an energy-saving mode. This is supported by most monitors, but not by all.
LVDS
The displays of the LT-Line, DM-Line and V-Line are controlled internally via LVDS interface. With this
interface it is also possible to dim the brightness of the display. At 100% the display has the full
brightness, at 0% it is completely switched off.
CANopen-Lift
If the flexyPage displays are used in a system that supports the standard CANopen-Lift, the
energy-saving functions should be controlled via the bus, through the control system. In the standard
CANopen-Lift, eight different energy-saving modes are defined, of which the stages 1 (car display) and 4
(floor display) are relevant for the displays in most cases. If necessary, however, the other stages can
also be used.
If no CANopen-capable controller is available, the display can automatically switch to a configurable
energy-saving mode after a freely determinable time, if it did not receive any other status changes from
the controller, such as, e.g. calls, special messages or floors. For each interface, an individual
energy-saving stage can be configured, if used. Another alternative is the use of inputs (see discrete
signals/inputs).
Discrete signals / inputs
In addition to the CANopen-Lift variant, it is also possible to control the energy-saving function via
discrete signals. Eight energy-saving levels can be controlled and whether the respective level is
activated or deactivated via an input. In addition, the signals can also be used to set a wake-up from
energy-saving mode.
The energy-saving signals, like other signals, can also be used to control the visibility of widgets on the
display.
