WMS Central transmitter
4.4 efinitions
Before you commission the WMS products, this chapter explains various
terms to familiarise you with the many options and the project concept.
4.4.1 Uransmitter and receiver
The WAREMA Mobile System is based on a bidirectional data exchange.
This means that every component is both a transmitter and a receiver. For
every piece of information sent, a response is received from the counterpart.
However, because some devices primarily send commands and information,
and other devices receive these, their categorisation into transmitters and
receivers provides clarity.
Hand-held transmitters and Central transmitters are one type of transmitter;
they are used to initiate control commands, start learning operations and
change parameters.
Weather stations and sensors are another type of transmitter; these regularly
transmit information to the receivers and can thus automatically activate con-
trol commands.
Receivers are either integrated in a sun shading product or are connected
upstream from a sun shading product, a lighting, heating or air conditioning
unit, or a window. The receiver receives the switch commands from the trans-
mitter and then executes the corresponding move or switch commands.
4.4.2 Learn mode
When the receiver is delivered, it does not "know" any transmitters initially
and first needs to learn to which transmitters it should respond. We refer to
this process as "learning".
4.4.3 Channels and products
The transmitting device (the transmitter) has channels that receivers can be
learned into. For each channel, the information is simultaneously sent to all
receivers learned into that channel. Up to 10 receivers and 4 sensors can be
learned into each channel.
The WMS Central transmitter can administer up to 96 channels. Each chan-
nel can access either a single product (e.g. an awning) or several products
of the same type (e.g. roller shutters).
The term "product" is identical in meaning to the term "actuator" in the WMS.
For each product, an actuator (e.g. WMS Plug receiver) is required to control
the drive motors of the product, for example.
When a receiver is learned into a channel, the product type must be speci-
fied. The product type determines which settings and control options are
available for that receiver.
4.4.4 Scenes
A scenario (e.g. "roller shutters up, lights off, heating off" when leaving the
flat) can be stored ("learned") in a scene and be called up again at a later
time.
For this, one or more channels are associated with the scene and the po-
sitions and switching states are set as desired. After the scene is stored,
this scenario can be recalled at any time by selecting the scene. Up to 32
scenes can be created in the central transmitter.
