U.motion KNX Server Plus, Touch
Installation Manual
Enabling the EXPERT mode, the following additional options are available:
ETS NAME
Name of the related group address from the imported ETS project; this name can be
used as keyword in the search engine to find the object.
ETS ENCODING
This setting determines which encoding U.motion KNX Server Plus Touch must use to
communicate with the related group address via the KNX bus.
Note
: Changes to this setting should be considered carefully, since an encoding that
does not match the settings of the related device can lead to incorrect behavior of the
VISUALISATION.
FORMATTING
This option allows you to personalize the display format of an objects value. The
syntax is “
%
{
X.Y
}{
Type
} {
Unit
}”:
•
%: Indicator for the beginning of a formatting syntax
▪
X.Y: Digits before the decimal point (X) and after the decimal point (Y)
•
TYPE: Defines the output format to use for the value to be displayed:
-
b: Binary format
-
c: Character (numerical value required)
-
d: Decimal number
-
e/E: Scientific floating point format
-
f: Floating point format
-
s: String
-
x/X: Hexadecimal format
▪
UNIT: Separated by a space from the rest of the formatting here can be
specified which measure unit should be appended to the formatted value. In
this way it is possible to personalize the default measure unit of an object.
For example the formatting “%0.2f kW” would display the value “143.58674” inside the
visualisation in the following format: 143.53 kW.
By using the formatting “%d kW” the same value would be displayed inside the
visualisation in the following format: 143 kW.
Hint
: This formatting affects only objects whose value is represented in textual form
(numbers, strings), not objects which are only represented through icons inside the
visualisation.
VISIBLE
Defines if the object shall be visible inside the VISUALISATION or not.
WRITE ACCESS ACTIVE
Enables the operation of the object in the VISUALISATION through the defined
graphical icon; this setting is normally configured automatically during the ETS import.
If an object should be used only as a status display in the VISUALISATION, even if in
the ETS project it was basically configured with write permissions, it is sufficient to
disable the write access here.
Note
: To enable write access for objects, which were initially imported as read-only,
the corresponding group address with write access must be configured, too (detailed
information can be found ahead in this manual); improper settings can compromise
the proper function of the system
READ ACCESS ACTIVE
Permits to read the current status of the object over the KNX bus; this flag is always
active.
