Table 105: Settings - Dimming
If the "Dimming" function is parameterised, two communication objects appear, firstly the function
for a short push-button action, the "Dimming On/Off" switch object, and secondly the function for a
long push-button action, the "Dimming relative" object.
The two-button function dimming can be parameterised either as brighter/darker or as
darker/brighter, the relationships are shown in the following table:
Table 106: Two-button function - Dimming
With the one-button function "dimming", the direction (brighter/darker) is reversed as a function of
the communication object "value for toggle". The dimming function is a start-stop dimming, that
means as soon as the dimming function becomes active, a light or dark command is assigned to the
input until it is released. After releasing, a stop telegram is sent which stops the dimming process.
