Definitions
5.1.1
Objects, Instances, Object Short Names
Programming of the Moeller easy takes place via objects. A digital input, a register, a
counter for operating hours, a comparator, etc. are all examples for objects.
Each object has an object short name. The digital register, for example, has the object
short name "M", the analogue output has the short name "QA".
Several instances of each object are available to the programmer. The easy 500 device,
for example, offers 16 digital registers “M”. The programmer can therefore select the
object instances "M1" to "M16".
5.1.2
Alias
As not only the programmer of the compact controller is responsible for maintenance
and operation of the Moeller easy device, it may not be clear for “outsiders” which object
instance has which function. Therefore, so-called aliases were introduced for the INSYS
GSM 4.3 easy. This offers the possibility to allocate a name that is easy to understand. If
the Moeller easy device controls a waste water system, for example, the digital register
M1 can be allocated the alias "waste water pump1”. If an individual wants to activate the
wastewater pump via mobile phone, using an SMS, he does not need to know that the
register 1 must be used, but simply uses the term “wastewaterpump1”. Up to 30 object
instances all in all can be allocated aliases.

Automatic Actions
5.2.1
Object Instances Monitoring
The values of the easy object instances are monitored to enable a fault message when
values are changed. Monitoring is performed during polling operation, i.e. the INSYS GSM
4.3 easy easy will cyclically read out the easy object instances and can thus detect any
changes. Up to 10 object instances can be monitored altogether. The query interval can
be set to seconds (1 to 255 seconds). These times represent minimum values. The actual
monitoring interval may be slightly larger. If several values that need to be monitored
have been configured, the communication with the compact controller may have a
longer duration than the interval. If a change of a monitored value is registered, the
sending of a fault message is prompted (SMS, SMS to fax, SMS to e-mail, SMS to fixed
network). For digital values, the following events (adjustable) can cause the sending of a
fault message:
Change to 0
Change to 1
Any change
