S-mode is characterized by the assignment of (logical) group addresses to
individual
data points to create the communications bindings for the exchange of
process values. Devices bearing the same group address exchange process
values with each other.
The group addresses can be assigned to the group objects (S-mode data points)
with the
ETS
engineering and commissioning tool
(
ETS = Engineering Tool
Software)
.
For the various HVAC, lighting and security equipment and for integration into
higher-level building automation and control systems, selected data points of the
Synco devices can also communicate in S-mode.
"Data points" are also referred to as "communication objects".
