Functional description: Touch
surfaces (Control page)
Each touch surface can adopt various
functions. Depending on the set
function, the panel software displays
different communication objects and
parameters.
The “Name of touch surface” is
always on the left-hand side of the
touch surface. This can be freely
assigned to each touch surface with
the corresponding parameter.
The status display is on the right-hand
side of the touch surface. This can
either be a symbol or text.
If this button is “Active”, a window
opens when the touch surface is
operated. The “Name of touch
surface” appears in the window as a
heading. The buttons (designated
here with “ON” and “OFF”) can be
described with text or adopt symbols.
As soon as a touch surface is
operated, the panel sends a
corresponding telegram to the linked
communication object. In some
windows, a slide rule appears in
addition to the buttons. If the button on
the slide rule is set to a new position,
the linked object also sends the new
value automatically.
If the status display or the button
description should adopt a symbol, it
can be selected from a pull-down
menu. The panel software always
indicates all the context-related sym-
bols. (See also the parameter listings of
the individual functions)
Switch
If the function of the touch surface is
defined as “Switch”, the panel sends
ON or OFF telegrams via the
associated 1-bit object “Switch”.
In the default setting, the touch
surface sends OFF telegrams when
the right-hand side is pressed and
sends ON telegrams when the left-
hand side is pressed. The method of
operation of the touch surface can be
inverted via the parameter
“Behaviour”.
Push button
In the “Push button” function, there is
a 1-bit communication object “Switch”
available for defined switching. ON,
OFF or TOGGLE telegrams can be
sent on the EIB via this object.
Each pulse edge can therefore be set
individually. This means: if the touch
surface is pressed, this is evaluated
by the panel as a rising pulse edge
while the release of the touch surface
is evaluated as a falling pulse edge.
The touch surface can thus be
adapted to a wide variety of
applications. If e.g. inching mode
should be implemented, the setting
“Send on at rising edge, off at falling
edge” should be selected.
Dimmer
With the “Dimmer” function, an ON or
OFF command is sent to the 1-bit
communication object “Switch” after a
short operation of the corresponding
touch surface. If the surface is
operated for a longer period, the
panel sends commands for dimming
brighter or darker to the 4-bit object
“Dim”. If the touch surface is released
after a long operation, the panel
immediately sends the command
“Stop dimming”.
The behaviour of the buttons can be
set. This means it is possible to dim
brighter or darker via the left or right
button (switch on, off or toggle).
