The
parameter
“switch
short/long”
can
control
for
example
two
channels
of
an
actuator
by
using
only
one
input.
Furthermore
you
can
switch
a
channel
with
a
long
keystroke
on
and
with
a
short
keystroke
off.
For
both
objects,
a
function
can
be
set
individually.
Therefore
the
sub
‐
functions
on,
off,
toggle
and
nothing
are
available.
Two
communication
objects
are
displayed,
which
can
be
connected
in
any
way.
By
activating
the
sub
‐
function
“toggle”
an
additional
communication
object
appears,
called
“value
for
toggling”.
This
object
is
a
status
object
for
the
input
and
must
be
connected
to
the
status
‐
object
of
the
actuator
(have
a
look
at:
4.5.1
Toggle)
The
following
diagram
shows
the
behavior
of
this
parameter.
Both
objects
(push
‐
button
and
push
‐
button
long)
were
set
to
toggle.
The
object
for
the
long
keystroke
is
connected
to
channel
A
of
the
switch
actuator
and
the
object
for
the
short
keystroke
is
connected
to
channel
B:
In
this
example
the
binary
input
toggles
Channel
B
with
a
short
keystroke.
The
Channel
A
does
not
react
to
a
short
keystroke.
This
one
reacts
only
at
a
long
keystroke
with
toggling.
