4.3.8. Function blocks
Commands are exchanged with the actuators, but also with the operating devices and
sensors in the KNX system via the function blocks. For this, specific functions are as-
signed to channels in the individual blocks.
Enable the function blocks required here and set the number of channels for the re-
spective type.
The channels selected here appear in the manual menu of the
CasaConnect KNX
but
not on the start page (default setting).
The display setting can be changed subsequently in the menus
System > Set screen > KNX settings > Function block A/B/C > ... > Manual menu
Function block A (motors, light and fan regulator): Manual menu:, Page 79
Function block B (switching/dimming, operation and displays, alarm): Manual menu:, Page 80
Function block C (temperature regulator): Manual menu:, Page 82
Type A channels can control drives (blinds, shutters, awnings, windows, fans) or lights
(switches, dimming, RGB(W), colour temperature).
Type B channels serve to connect control and display elements, sensors and alarms.
Type C channels serve as temperature regulator extension.
Block A
The menu item only appears if it is selected for "function blocks" that channels of type
A are to be used.
With these 80 channels, the data for awnings, blinds, shutters and windows is trans-
mitted. The channels are also required for light (notably LED lights with colour set-
tings) and fans.
Enter a name for the channel and select an icon (See “Symbol overview” on page 65).
The name and icon can also be selected subsequently at the control center.
System > Set screen > Function block A > ... > Name / Icon channel

The name of the channel can also be changed subsequently on the
CasaConnect
KNX Control Center
.
If "Blind" is selected in the ETS as the type of output, the type o output can be changed
on the
CasaConnect KNX
later. The setting "Type of output" is displayed in the con-
trol center menu, in which a different motor can be selected. The most recent change
in the ETS or the control center applies.
