U.motion KNX Server Plus, Touch 

Installation Manual 

 

For rooms it’s also possible to create further sub-menus following the same procedure (as in the further course of this 
manual will be explained); the resulting tree-structure can so also be used in the visualisation. 

 

The  DELETE  button  removes  the  selected  entries  from  the  project.  This  action  is  blocked  for  the  system  menus  and 
indispensable objects, for preventing the user to remove them by accident.
