Frequently Asked Questions - TA/U3.2.1-CG ABB

How do I install the TA/U3.2.1-CG motion detector?
Installation must be performed by a qualified electrician. Mount the support ring in a suitable flush-mounted box (DIN 49073-1 in Germany). Connect the KNX bus line to the bus terminal ensuring correct polarity. Snap the flush-mounted insert with control element into the support ring by hand. Do not use tools to lever parts off.
How do I assign a physical address to the device?
Press the programming button on the rear of the device. All LEDs light up red. Use the Engineering Tool Software (ETS) to assign a physical address and group addresses. The device must be connected to the KNX bus and bus voltage must be on.
Can I use the TA/U3.2.1-CG outdoors?
No, the device is intended for installation in dry interior rooms only. Using it outdoors is considered improper use and may lead to personal injury or property damage.
How do I clean the glass plate?
Clean with a soft dry cloth. If necessary, slightly moisten the cloth with a soap solution. Avoid applying force to the glass plate to prevent breakage. Never reach into a broken glass with bare hands.
What does the acoustic feedback function do?
When enabled, the buzzer provides a click or beep sound upon button press. It can also be used for alarms (e.g., wind alarm). The acoustic signal can be activated via a communication object or automatically after bus voltage recovery.
How do I configure the LED colors?
LED colors are configured via the ETS application program under 'LED function' (button 1/button 2). You can set colors for various states (Off, On, zones, alarm, etc.) and brightness (dark/bright). A day/night mode is also available.
How do I save a light scene?
Use a long button press to trigger scene saving. The device sends read requests to actuators; if the L-flag is set, actuators return their current values. The scene is stored in the device and retained even after a power failure.
What is the proximity function?
The proximity sensor detects when a user approaches the device. It can be used to activate the display and LEDs only when someone is near. The external proximity can be controlled via a communication object, or automatic switchover with a delay time can be set.
How do I enable or block the device?
The device can be temporarily blocked via a 1-bit communication object 'EF: enable'. When blocked, no telegrams are sent. Enable can be set with an On or Off telegram. Automatic enable/blockage with a timer is also possible.
Is the device maintenance-free?
Yes, the device is maintenance-free. Do not attempt repairs; opening the device voids the warranty. Access must be guaranteed for testing and maintenance. Clean only as described.

Options: Deactivated
Off
On
Alternating on/off

- Deactivated:

- No telegram is sent when the button is released.

Off:

- The "Off" telegram is sent when the button is released (at falling edge).

- O n :

- The "On" telegram is sent when the button is released (at falling edge).

- Alternating on/off:

- "On" and "Off" are sent alternately when the button is released.

Application "1-button value switching" can differentiate between the press and the releasing of the button. A press is defined as "Rising edge" and the releasing as "Falling edge".

The parameter is used to specify whether an On or Off telegram is sent on the bus at a falling edge via the 1-bit communication object "Sx: switching". A further option can be specified as to whether the switching telegrams are sent alternately. This means that after value "On" has been sent, "Off" is sent at a renewed release of the button. After it is released again, "On" is again sent out.

11.5.3 Application - 1-button dimming

The application makes it possible to dim and switch a light via a button.

The following communication objects are available:

  • "Sx: switching"
  • "Sx: relative dimming"

The button has a switching object and a dimming object. A distinction is made between a short press of the button (switching) and a long press (dimming).

In each case, the application makes a separate set of parameters and communication objects available in function block x for both buttons.

ABB TA/U3.2.1-CG - Application - 1-button dimming - 1

Note

The parameters for application "1-button dimming" can be called up via general parameters.

ABB TA/U3.2.1-CG - Note - 1

Note

The number (S1 - Sx) of the object depends on the function block and the button number.

11.5.3.1 Duration of long operation

Options: Setting option from 00.300 to 03.000 (ss.fff)

The application can differentiate between a short and a long press of the button. With a short press of the button, the next level forward is switched to. With a long press of the button, the first level is activated. Thus with a long press of the button a jump back from every level to the first level is possible, without having to run through the remaining levels.

The parameter is used to specify the time from which a long press of the button is recognised and the object values are reset. A typical value for a long press of the button is 0.4 seconds.

11.5.3.2 Working mode of the buttons for switching

Options: Deactivated
Off
On
Alternating on/off
  • Deactivated:
  • No command is sent at the press of the button.
    Off:
  • The "Off" command is sent at the press of the button.
  • O n :
  • The "On" command is sent at the press of the button.

- Alternating on/off:

- "On" and "Off" are sent alternately at the press of the button.

The parameter is used to specify whether an On or an Off command is sent on the bus via 1-bit communication object "Sx: switching" when the button is pressed.

A further option can be specified as to whether the switching commands are sent alternately. This means that after "On" is sent, "Off" is sent at a renewed press of the button. After it is pressed again, "On" is sent.

11.5.3.3 Working mode of the buttons for dimming

Options: Darker
Brighter
Alternating brighter/darker
  • Darker:
  • The "Dim darker" command is sent at a long press of the button.

- Brighter:

- The "Dim brighter" command is sent at a long press of the button.

- Alternating brighter/darker:

- "Dim darker" and "Dim brighter" are sent alternately at a long press of the button.

The parameter is used to specify whether a telegram with the "Dim brighter" or "Dim darker" command is sent on the bus via the 3-bit communication object "Sx: relative dimming" at a long press of the button.

A further option can be specified as to whether the dimming telegrams are sent alternately at each long press of the button. This means that after "Dim brighter" is sent, "Dim darker" is sent at a renewed press of the button. After it is pressed again, "Dim brighter" is sent.

11.5.4 Application - 1-button blind

The application makes it possible to control blinds and roller blinds via a button.

The following communication objects are available:

  • "Sx: moving" (for blinds/roller blinds, 1 Bit)
  • "Sx: adjusting" (for blinds, 1-bit)
  • "Sx: position" (for blinds, 1-byte)
  • "Sx: slats" (for blinds, 1-byte)
  • "Sx: stop" (for roller blinds, 1 bit)

The application can be used to set the length of the button actuations for the operating functions of blinds and roller blinds.

Blinds: Movement and slat adjustment commands are sent to linked blind actuators with long and short button operations. A long press of the button triggers a move command. A short press of the button triggers a command to adjust the slats.

Roller blinds: Movement and stop commands are sent to linked roller blind actuators with long and short button operations. A long press of the button triggers a move command. A short press of the button triggers a stop command.

Blinds and roller blinds: The sensor stores the last command carried out with the button that is occupied with the application. This means, for example, if a blind was lowered and halted at half height via a short press of the button, then a renewed long press of the button will raise the blind.

In each case, the application makes a separate set of parameters and communication objects available in function block x for both buttons.

ABB TA/U3.2.1-CG - Application - 1-button blind - 1

Note

The parameters for application "1-button blind" can be called up via general parameters and extended parameters.

ABB TA/U3.2.1-CG - Note - 1

Note

The number (S1 - Sx) of the object depends on the function block and the button number.

11.5.4.1 Duration of long operation

Options: Setting option from 00.300 to 03.000 (ss.fff)

The application can differentiate between a short and a long press of the button. At a short press of the button a telegram with the command "Move blind/roller blind" is sent on the bus. At a long press of the button a telegram with the command "Adjust slats" or "Stop roller blind" is sent.

The parameter is used to specify the time after which a long button press is recognised. A telegram is sent on the bus via communication object "Sx: adjust" or "Sx: stop" only after this time has expired. A typical value for a long press of the button is 0.4 seconds.

ABB TA/U3.2.1-CG - Duration of long operation - 1

Note

The command "Move blind" is sent immediately after the press of the button. The command is also sent if the button is pressed long and a "Adjust slats" command is sent due to the long operation. This causes a short jerking of the blind since the first slats adjustment command is always interpreted by a blind actuator as a stop command.

11.5.4.2 Cycle time of the telegram repetition

Options: Setting option from 00.100 to 05.000 (ss.fff)

Telegrams are sent cyclic to the blind actuator via communication object "Sx: adjust" as long as the button is pressed.

The parameter is used to set time intervals between the telegrams. The default setting is 1 second.

This function serves to more accurately position larger slats that require a longer time for a complete slat rotation. This means that the button can remain pressed and be specifically released when the slats have reached the desired position.

ABB TA/U3.2.1-CG - Cycle time of the telegram repetition - 1

Note

The parameter can only be set if the "Object type" parameter is set on "1 bit" and the "Blind/roller blind function switchover" parameter is set on "Blind".

11.5.4.3 Object type

Options: 1 bit
1 byte 0 - 100%

- 1 bit:

- The value is sent as 1-bit switching commands (up/down or adjustment).

- 1 byte 0 - 100%:

- The value is sent as 1-byte value without a sign (position in percent).

The parameter is used to set the size of communication objects for the control of blinds. For selection "1 bit", objects "Sx: moving" and "Sx: adjusting" are available. For selection "1 byte 0-100%", objects "Sx: position" and "Lx: slat position" are available.

If option "1 byte 0-100%" is selected, communication objects can be connected with 1-byte position objects of the blind actuators. Also desired positions of the blind can be preset under Extended parameters.

Example: Button 1 always moves the blind down to 50%, with the slats closed at 50%. Button 1 always moves the blind down to 80%, with the slats closed at 100%.

11.5.8 Application - 1-button step switch

Up to five switching levels can be activated for a button via the application. The switching levels of the first button can be combined with the switching levels of the second button of a function block.

The following communication object is available:

- "Sx: switching level x"

The application makes step-type switching of the room lighting possible. A different switching process is triggered with each new press of the programmed button.

The application differentiates whether the first or second button of a function block is pressed. Depending on the setting, one lower or one higher level can be switched to.

Example (1st button up, 2nd button down):

[1st button - 1st press - 1st step] = switches lamp 1 on.

[1st button - 2nd press - 2nd step] = switches lamp 1 off and lamp 2 on.

[1st button - 3rd press - 3rd step] = switches lamp 2 off and lamp 3 on.

[2nd button - 1st press - 2nd step] = switches lamp 3 off and lamp 2 on.

[2nd button - 2nd press - 1st step] = switches lamp 2 off and lamp 1 on.

In each case, the application makes a separate set of parameters and communication objects available in function block x for both buttons. The second button of each function block can be occupied with an additional button function.

Note

The parameters for application "1-button step switch" can be called up via general parameters and extended parameters.

ABB TA/U3.2.1-CG - Note - 1

Note

The number (S1 - Sx) of the object depends on the function block and the button number.

11.5.8.1 Number of objects

Options: Setting option from 1 to 5

The parameter is used to set the number of communication objects or switching step of a button.

For every level, its own 1-bit communication object "Sx: switching step x" is available.

11.5.8.2 Evaluation period

Options: Setting option from 02.000 to 05.000 (ss.fff)

Room lighting can be switched step-wise via a button.

To be able send a switching telegram after each actuation, the device requires a defined time period (evaluation period) to decide whether the telegram is to be sent.

For example:

The button is pressed three times. If no further actuation is made within the set evaluation period, the value for step 3 is sent.

11.5.8.3 Duration of long operation

Options: Setting option from 00.300 to 02.5000 (ss.fff)

The application can differentiate between a short and a long press of the button. With a short press of the button, the next level forward is switched to. With a long press of the button, the first level is activated. Thus with a long press of the button a jump back from every level to the first level is possible, without having to run through the remaining levels.

The parameter is used to specify the time from which a long press of the button is recognised and the object values are reset. A typical value for a long press of the button is 0.4 seconds.

11.5.8.4 Sending of objects

Options: For operation
For change of value
  • For operation:
  • Telegram are sent at each press of the button.
  • For change of value
  • Telegrams are only sent at a change of the object value.

The parameter is used to specify whether the object values for every button operation are sent out on the bus or only if the object values have changed since they were sent last.

11.5.8.5 Object values

Options: Normal Inverse

- N or m a l :

– Values of the individual switching levels are not sent inverted.

- Inverse:

– Values of the individual switching levels are sent inverted.

The parameter is used to specify whether values of the 1-bit communication objects "Sx: switching step x" are sent normal or inverted.

Example (five objects, x of n):

The object value "10000" is sent inverted as object value "01111".

11.5.8.6 Bit pattern of the object values

Options: x of n1 of n

The levels can be switched in two different bit patterns:

Object values for the bit pattern "x off n"

1 object 2 objects 3 objects 4 objects 5 objects

Level 3001001000100
Level 4000100010
Level 500001

11.5.9 Application - 1-button multiple operation

The application is used to create from one up to five button operations. Different bit values can be sent for each single and multiple press of the button.

For every multiple operation an own communication object is available.

  • "Sx: switching 1 actuation"
  • "Sx: switching x actuations"

In each case, the application makes a separate set of parameters and communication objects available in function block x for both buttons. The second button of each function block can be occupied with an additional button function.

Five objects: single, double, triple, quadruple quintuple operation

11.5.9.2 Evaluation period

Options: Setting option from 01.000 to 05.000 (ss.fff)

The parameter is used to set the period for the multiple actuation of the button. This enables the user to switch several lamps at the same time. After the evaluation period has expired, all telegrams are sent parallel via the activated communication objects.

For the device to recognize a multiple operation, the button operation must be carried out within a defined time period (evaluation period). The time is started after the first actuation and continues for the set evaluation period. A typical value for the evaluation period is 3 seconds.

Example (five objects):

The five objects "Sx: switching x actuation(s)" are connected with five actuator channels. If all five channels are to be switched at the same time, the button must be pressed five times within the evaluation period.

- A save command is not sent with the light scene call-up.

- Activated:

- A save command is sent with the light scene call-up with a long press of the button.

A memory bit can be sent in addition to the light scene number via the parameter.

A memory bit is set within the 1-byte value of the light scene number. If a light scene module (e.g. Busch-ComfortTouch®) receives this 1-byte value, the module can identify the associated light scene and trigger a storage process. Read requests are sent to all connected actuators that answer with their current object values. The answers are saved by the light scene module and are sent out at every new receipt of the light scene number.

11.5.10.3 Number of light scene

Options: Setting option from 1 to 64

The parameter is used to specify the light scene number which is sent via the 1-byte communication object "Sx: light scene number" at the press of the button.

The button serves exclusively as light scene extension unit, i.e. only the light scene number is called up via the button. The individual values for the dimming actuators or blind actuators to be adjusted are either stored in the actuator itself or in connected light scene modules (e.g. Busch-ComfortTouch®). A light scene module receives the light scene number and subsequently sends the stored light scene values consecutively to the connected actuators.

11.5.11 Application - 1-button operating mode "Adjust RTC"

11.5.12.1 Working mode of the buttons for switching

Options: 1st button on / 2nd button off
1st button off / 2nd button on
Alternating on/off

- 1st Button on / 2nd button off:

- When the first button is pressed the "On" command is sent and the "Off" command when the second button is pressed.

- 1st Button off / 2nd button on:

- When the first button is pressed the "Off" command is sent and the "On" command when the second button is pressed.

- Alternating on/off:

- "On" and "Off" are sent alternately at the press of the first or second button.

The parameter is used to specify, for example, whether a light is switched on or off with the first and second button.

A further option can be specified as to whether the switching commands are sent alternately, independent from the button pressed. This means that after "On" is sent, "Off" is sent at a renewed press of one the two buttons. After one of the two buttons is pressed again, "On" is sent again.

This also applies for values that are received via the associated 1-bit communication object "Sx: switching". This means that when an Off command is received after an On command was sent via object "Sx: switching", an On command is sent after the button is pressed again. It must be ensured here that the S-flag (writing) of the communication object is activated.

11.5.13 Application - 2-button dimming

The application makes it possible to dim and switch a light via a button pair.

The following communication objects are available:

  • "Sx: switching"
  • "Sx: relative dimming"

The button pair has a joint switching and dimming object. The application is used to specify which of the two buttons triggers a switching telegram or a dimming telegram. The first button, for example, can be used to dim a lamp and the second button to switch it on or off.

It can also be specified whether the light is dimmed with a short or long press of the button.

The application makes a joint set of parameters and communication objects available in function block x for both buttons.

11.5.13.1 Duration of long operation

Options: Setting option from 00.300 to 03.000 (ss.fff)

The application can differentiate between a short and a long press of the button and thus trigger a dimming or switching signal.

The parameter is used to specify the time from which a long press of the button is recognised and the object values are reset. A typical value for a long press of the button is 0.4 seconds.

11.5.13.2 Manner of dimming

Options: Start-stop dimmingStep-wise dimming

- Start-stop dimming:

- At the press of a button the command "dim brighter" or "dim darker" is sent. When the button is released, the command "Stop dimming" is sent.

- Step-wise dimming:

- A defined value, e.g. "Dim brighter by 6.25%" is always sent out for triggering of a dimming command.

The parameter is used to specify the way a light is dimmed with a press of a button.

For "Start-Stop dimming" two 3-bit telegrams for dimming are sent. At a press of the button the first telegram with the command "Dim 100% brighter" or "Dim 100% darker" is sent to the linked dimming actuator. When the button is released, the second telegram with the command "Stop dimming" is sent. Hence, a connected dimming actuator can be halted at any time during the dimming phase.

For step-wise dimming, a defined value, e.g. "Dim brighter by 6.25%", is sent to the linked dimming actuator after triggering a dimming command. This type of dimming is especially suitable for systems in which dimming sensors and dimming actuators are installed in different lines. In this case couplers could cause a delay in telegrams, which could lead to different brightness values.

11.5.13.3 Step size for step-wise dimming (%)

Options: 1.56
3.13
6.25
12.5
25
50

The parameter is used to specify how many percent per step the light is dimmed. The value sent, always relates to the current brightness value.

Example (setting 12.5%):

The light is dimmed to a brightness value of 70%. With a press of the button the command "Dim brighter by 12.5%" is sent. After receiving the dimming command, the dimming actuator increases the brightness value to 82.5%.

ABB TA/U3.2.1-CG - Step size for step-wise dimming (%) - 1

Note

If step-wise dimming is used to evenly dim multiple dimming actuators in different lines, a low step size should be selected, e.g. 3.13%. At the same time the cyclical sending of the dimming telegrams should be activated. This ensures that dimming telegrams are sent continuously as long as the button is pressed.

ABB TA/U3.2.1-CG - Note - 1

Note

The parameter is only adjustable if the "Dimming mode" parameter is set on "Step-wise dimming".

11.5.13.4 Dimming function

- When the first button is pressed the "Off" command is sent and the "On" command when the second button is pressed.

- Alternating on/off:

- "On" and "Off" are sent alternately at the press of the first or second button.

The parameter is used to specify, for example, whether a light is switched on or off with the first and second button.

A further option can be specified as to whether the switching commands are sent alternately, independent from the button pressed. This means that after "On" is sent, "Off" is sent at a renewed press of one the two buttons. After one of the two buttons is pressed again, "On" is sent again.

This also applies for values that are received via the associated 1-bit communication object "Sx: switching". This means that when an Off command is received after an On command was sent via object "Sx: switching", an On command is sent after the button is pressed again. It must be ensured here that the S-flag (writing) of the communication object is activated.

11.5.13.6 Working mode of the buttons for dimming

11.5.14 Application - 2-button blind

The application makes it possible to control blinds and roller blinds via a button pair.

The following communication objects are available:

  • "Sx: moving" (1-bit object)
  • "Sx: adjusting" (1-bit object)
  • "Sx: position" (1-byte object)
  • "Sx: slats" (1-byte object)

The application is used to specify whether the first or second button triggers the "Up" or "Down" movement command. Also Up and Down positions as well as slat position can be preset.

Movement and slat adjustment commands are sent to linked blind actuators with long and short button operations. A long press of the button triggers a move command. A short press of the button triggers a command to adjust the slats.

The sensor stores the last command carried out with the button that is occupied with the application. This means, for example, if a blind was lowered and halted at half height via a short press of the button, then a renewed long press of the button will raise the blind.

The application makes a joint set of parameters and communication objects available in function block x for both buttons.

ABB TA/U3.2.1-CG - Application - 2-button blind - 1

11.5.14.1 Duration of long operation

Options: Setting option from 00.300 to 03.000 (ss.fff)

The application can differentiate between a short and a long press of the button. At a short press of the button a telegram with the command "Move/position blind" is sent on the bus. At a long press of the button a telegram with the command "Adjust/position slats" is sent.

The parameter is used to specify the time after which a long button press is recognised. A telegram is sent on the bus via communication object "Sx: adjust" or "Sx: slat position" only after this time has expired. A typical value for a long press of the button is 0.4 seconds.

ABB TA/U3.2.1-CG - Duration of long operation - 1

Note

The command "Adjust/position blind" is sent immediately after the press of the button. The command is also sent if the button is pressed long and a "Adjust/position slats" command is sent due to the long operation. This causes a short jerking of the blind since the first slats adjustment command is always interpreted by a blind actuator as a stop command.

11.5.14.2 Object type

11.7.3 Application - Priority

The application can be used to activate a forced guidance (priority) for switching outputs.

The following communication objects are available:

  • "GFx: switch input" (1-bit object)
  • "GFx: priority input" (2-bit object)
  • "GFx: output" (1-bit object)

The telegrams received on "GFx: switch input" are transferred to object "GFx: output" depending on the state of the "GFx: priority input" object.

The 2-bit object "GFx: priority input" can receive and differentiate between four different values (0, 1, 2 and 3). Here, the "GFx: output" object is positively driven. Three different states are differentiated:

  • "GFx: priority input" has the value "3". The value that is present on "GFx: switch input" has no meaning. The "GFx: output" object is switched on positively driven and has the value "1".
  • "GFx: priority input" has the value "2". The value that is present on "GFx: switch input" has no meaning. The "GFx: output" object is switched off positively driven and has the value "0".
  • "GFx: priority input" has the value "1" or "0". The "GFx: output" object is not positively driven. The "GFx: switch input" is linked to the status bit of the priority object OR and transferred to the "GFx: output" object.

During a positive drive, changes of the "GFx: switch input" object are saved, even if the current state on the "GFx: output" object does not immediately change through this. If the positive drive is terminated, the "GFx: output" object sends a telegram corresponding to the current value of the "GFx: switch input" object.

11.7.5 Application - Gate

The application allows specific signals to be filtered and the signal flow to be temporarily blocked.

The following communication objects are available:

  • "GFx: input"
  • "GFx: output"
  • "GFx: control input" (1-bit object)

The objects "GFx: input" and "GFx: output" can take on different sizes (1 bit - 4 byte, depending on the object type selected).

The bit sizes of objects "GFx: input" and "GFx: output" can be collectively adjusted for the different applications.

The bit size can be freely assigned with the "Not assigned" setting of the "Object type" parameter. This means that the first internal or external group address or action that is assigned and already connected to an other communication object will specify the size.

The control can occur from "Input to output" or also from "Output to input," provided the control input allows this. Enabling via the control input can take place via an On telegram or an Off telegram.

If, for example, the "Control input" setting is set on "ON telegram," only telegrams from the input are transmitted to the output. The condition is that the control input has received an On telegram.

It is also possible to block signals via the "Filter function" setting. Either "nothing is filtered out" or the signal "on is filtered out" or the signal "off is filtered out". This function is always necessary, for example, when only the On telegram is needed for a sensor and the device does not offer any filter function in its application program.

11.7.6.2 Object type/number

Options: A 1-bit object for input and output
Two 1-bit objects for input and output
Two 1-byte objects for input and output

- A 1-bit object for input and output:

- When an On telegram is received via the "GFx: input_output" object, an adjustable switch-off delay is started. After expiration of the switch-off delay, the "GFx: input_output" object sends an Off telegram (1 bit).

- Two 1-bit objects for input and output:

- When a switching telegram (On or Off) is received via the "GFx: input" object, an adjustable switch-off delay is started. At the same time, a telegram with the same value of the telegram received on the input (On or Off) is sent via object "GFx: output". After expiration of the switch-off delay, the "GFx: output" object sends an Off telegram (1 bit).

- Two 1-byte objects for input and output:

- When a value telegram is received via the "GFx: input" object, an adjustable switch-off delay is started. At the same time, a telegram with the same value of the telegram (1 byte) received on the input is sent via object "GFx: output". After expiration of the switch-off delay, the "GFx: output" object sends a telegram with value "0" (1 byte).

The parameter is used to fix the size and number of the communication objects for the "Staircase lighting" application.

The switch-off delay of the staircase lighting is set via the "Switch-off delay" parameter.

11.7.6.3 Switch-off delay

Options: Setting option from 00:00:10 to 01:30:00 (hh:mm:ss)

The parameter is used to set the switch-off delay of the staircase lighting. The switch-off delay can be set in steps of one second.

The start of the switch-off delay is dependent on the setting of the "Object type/number" parameter. The parameter "Object type/number" also specifies whether an Off telegram (1 bit) or a telegram with value "0" (1 byte) is sent after the expiry of the switch-off delay.

11.7.6.4 Retriggering

Options: Deactivated Activated

- Deactivated:

- The set switch-off delay always runs to its end, so that a telegram is always sent via object "GFx: output" after the delay time has expired.

- Activated:

- The switch-off delay is always restarted when a telegram is received via the "GFx: input" object.

The parameter is used to specify whether the switch-off delay is restarted when a further telegram is received via object "GFx: input". This behaviour is called retriggering.

For example, a retriggering makes sense for a switch-off delay for movement detectors. This always resets the switch-off delay as long as movement is detected.

If telegrams with different values are received during the retriggering phase, only the last value received is always sent via the "GFx: output" object after expiration of the delay time.

11.7.6.5 Switch-off pre-warning

Options: Deactivated Activated

- Deactivated:

- The staircase lighting goes out without flickering at the end of the switch-off delay.

- Activated:

Before the staircase lighting switches itself off, the end of the illumination period is signalled by means of brief flickering or dimming darker. The user can then keep the light on in time.

The parameter is used to specify whether an additional value is sent via the output object just before the switch-off delay expires.

11.7.6.6 Time for switch-off pre-warning (s)

Options: Setting option from 1to 5400

The parameter is used to specify when the staircase lighting by means of flickering or dimming darker is to warn of the end of the switch-off delay. The warning is carried out according to the set time before the expiry of the switch-off delay.

Note

This parameter can only be set if the "switch-off prewarning" parameter is set on "activated".

11.7.6.7 Value for switch-off prewarning (%)

Options: Setting option from 1to 100 (%)

The parameter is used to set the value that is sent via object "GFx: output". The value is sent at the time set via parameter "Time for switch-off prewarning".

The set percentage value is sent once and then replaced by the original output value after approximately one second.

ABB TA/U3.2.1-CG - Value for switch-off prewarning (%) - 1

Note

This parameter can only be set if the "Object type/number" parameter is set on "Two 1-byte objects for input and output" and parameter "Switch-off prewarning" is set on "activated".

11.7.6.8 Overwrite switch-off delay and switch-off prewarning time during download

Options: Deactivated Activated
  • Deactivated:
  • The switch-off delay and switch-off prewarning time will not be overwritten when the device is reprogrammed.
  • Activated:
  • The switch-off delay and switch-off prewarning time will be overwritten when the device is reprogrammed.

Telegrams with new times can be received via communication objects "GFx: switch-off delay" and "GFx: switch-off prewarning". The received 2-byte values are written to the memory of the device and are retained even after a power failure.

The parameter is used to specify whether the received storage values are to be retained for a reprogramming of the device or replaced by the values specified in the parameterising software.

11.7.7 Application - Delay

The application can be used to receive telegrams via the "Input" object. The telegrams received are sent out via the "Output" object with a set delay time.

The application has the following communication objects:

  • "GFx: input"

The parameter is used to set the delay with which the telegrams received via object "GFx: input" are sent via object "GFx: output".

The delay time can be set in steps of one millisecond.

11.7.7.4 Retriggering

Options: Deactivated Activated
  • Deactivated:
  • The set switch-off delay always runs to its end, so that a telegram is always sent via object "GFx: output" after the delay time has expired.
  • Activated:
  • The switch-off delay is always restarted when a telegram is received via the "GFx: input" object.

The parameter is used to specify whether the switch-off delay is restarted when a further telegram is received via object "GFx: input". This behaviour is called retriggering.

For example, a retriggering makes sense for a switch-off delay for movement detectors. This always resets the switch-off delay as long as movement is detected.

If telegrams with different values are received during the retriggering phase, only the last value received is always sent via the "GFx: output" object after expiration of the delay time.

11.7.7.5 Filter active

Options: Deactivated Activated
  • Deactivated:
  • Filter is not active.
  • Activated:
  • Filter is active. Filter function and filter value can be set.

The parameter is used to specify whether a filter is used for the delay of telegrams.

11.7.7.6 Filter function

Options: Filter value is delayed, other values are sent directly
Filter value is delayed, other values are suppressed
Filter value is sent directly, other values are delayed
Filter value is suppressed, other values are delayed
  • Filter value is delayed, other values are sent directly.
    – Only the filter value is sent delayed All other values are sent directly.
  • Filter value is delayed, other values are suppressed.
  • Only the filter value is sent delayed. All other values are blocked.
  • Filter value is sent direct, others are sent delayed.
  • Only the filter value is sent direct. All other values are sent delayed.
  • Filter value is suppressed, other are delayed.
  • Only the filter value is blocked. All other values are sent delayed.

The parameter can be used to specify a condition for the sending of filter values compared to all other values.

11.7.7.8 Overwrite delay time during download

Options: Deactivated Activated

- Deactivated:

- The delay time will not be overwritten when the device is reprogrammed.

- Activated:

- The delay time will be overwritten when the device is reprogrammed.

A telegram with a new delay time (s) can be received via the 2-byte communication object "GFx: delay time". The received 2-byte value is written to the memory of the device and is retained even after a power failure.

The parameter is used to specify whether the received storage value is to be retained for a reprogramming of the device or replaced by the values specified in the parameterising software.

11.7.8 Application - Min/max value transducer

Up to eight input values can be compared with each other via the application.

The following communication objects are available:

  • "GFx: output"
  • "GFx: input x"

The objects "GFx: input x" and "GFx: output" can take on different sizes (1 byte - 4 byte, depending on the object type selected).

The bit sizes of objects "GFx: input x" and "GFx: output" can be collectively adjusted for the different applications.

The application can send either the largest input value, the smallest input value or the average of all input values via the output object. The values are sent either at each input assignment or when the output object is changed.

ABB TA/U3.2.1-CG - Application - Min/max value transducer - 1

Note

The parameters for application "Min/max value transducer" can be called up via general parameters.

ABB TA/U3.2.1-CG - Note - 1

Note

The number of the object (GF1 - GFx) depends on the channel used.

11.7.8.1 Channel name

- 1 byte 0 - 100%:

- The value is sent as 1-byte value without a sign (percentage value). (0 = 0%, 255 = 100%)

- 1 byte 0 - 255:

- The value is sent as 1-byte value without a sign. Any value 0 - 255.

- 2-byte float:

- The value is sent as floating point value (-671088.6 - 670760.9), e.g. temperature or moisture value.

- 2-byte signed:

- The value is sent as 2-byte value with a sign, (-32768 - +32767), e.g. time difference or percentage difference.

- 2-byte unsigned:

- The value is sent as 2-byte value without a sign (0 - 65535), e.g. time or brightness value.

- 4-byte float:

- The value is sent as 4-byte floating point value, physical values, e.g. luminosity, electric power, pressure.

- 4-byte signed:

- The value is sent as 4-byte value with a sign (-2147483648 - 2147483647), e.g. counting impulse, time difference.

- 4-byte unsigned:

- The value is sent as 4-byte value without a sign (0 - 4294967295), e.g. counting impulse.

The set option fixes the bit size of the input and output object.

11.7.8.3 Number of input objects

Options: Setting option from 1to 8

The parameter is used to set the number of input telegrams to be compared with each other.

11.7.8.4 Output sends

Options: For every assignment of the inputs
With a change of the output object

- For every assignment of the inputs:

- When a telegram is received on one of the input objects, a telegram is always sent via the output object.

- With a change of the output object:

- An output telegram is only sent when the value of the output object changes.

The parameter is used to specify the conditions under which a telegram is sent.

For the setting "For every assignment of inputs" an output telegram is sent at every receipt of a telegram on one of the inputs. In this case, also an output telegram is sent if the value of the output does not change.

11.7.8.5 Output object

Options: Adopts the largest value of the inputs
Adopts the smallest value of the inputs
Adopts the average value of the inputs

- Adopts the largest value of the inputs:

- The largest value of all input telegrams is sent via the output object.

- Adopts the smallest value of the inputs:

- The smallest value of all input telegrams is sent via the output object.

- Adopts the average value of the inputs:

- The average value of the input telegrams is sent via the output object.

The "Min/max value transducer" application compares the values that are present on the input objects.

The parameter is used to specify whether the largest, smallest or average of all input values is sent. If the average value is sent, the application calculates the arithmetic mean of the inputs. Decimal points are rounded up or down.

For example:

- Object type: "2-byte signed", 2 input objects

- Input 1: value "4"

- Input 2: value "5"

(Input 1 + input 2) / 2 = arithmetic mean; (4 + 5) / 2 = 4.5

Sent average value: 5

11.7.9 Application - Light scene actuator

The application is used to create up to eight scenes and eight actuator groups.

The following communication objects are available:

  • "GFx: scene call-up"
  • "GFx: actuator group x"

The input object "Scene call-up" has the size 1 byte. The output objects can take on different sizes (1 bit - 4 byte, depending on the object type selected).

The application is used to call up scenes stored in the device. This takes place via the receipt of the scene number on object "Scene call-up".

For triggering different actuators, the size of objects "GFx: actuator group x" can be set via parameter "Object type actuator group".

The user has the option of saving the scenes. A corresponding save telegram must be received for this.

ABB TA/U3.2.1-CG - Application - Light scene actuator - 1

Note

The parameters for the "Light scene actuator" application can be called up via general parameters, configuration of actuator objects and configuration of scene x.

ABB TA/U3.2.1-CG - Note - 1

Note

The number of the object (GF1 - GFx) depends on the channel used.

11.7.9.1 Channel name

Entry:

The parameter can be used to name the selected channel. The preset name "Channel" can be replaced with any arbitrary name. The length of the name is limited to 30 characters.

11.7.9.2 Number of scenes

Options: Setting option from 1 to 8

The parameter is used to configure up to eight scenes for the light scene actuator.

11.7.9.3 Number of actuator groups

Options: Setting option from 1 to 8

The parameter is used to configure up to eight actuator groups for the light scene actuator.

At a call up of a scene, telegrams are sent consecutively via communication object "GFx: actuator group x". If, for example, four lamp groups, a blind and an absolute temperature value are to be sent at the call-up of a scene, the parameter must be set on "6" actuator groups.

The bit size of communication objects "GFx: actuator group x" is set via parameter "Object type actuator group x".

11.7.9.4 Duration of telegram delay

Options: Setting option from 00.100 to 10.000 (ss.fff)

At the call up of a scene, telegrams are sent consecutively via communication objects "GFx: actuator group x". The sequence is strictly specified. First the telegram of actuator group A is sent out, then the telegram of actuator group B, etc.

The parameter is used to set the delay time between the individual telegrams.

11.7.9.5 Overwrite scenes at download

Options: Deactivated
Activated

- Deactivated:

- The scene values saved by the user remain in the device.

- Activated:

- When reprogramming the device, the values saved by the user are overwritten with the preset values in the parameterisation software.

A scene storage can be triggered with a long press of the button on the device. The communication objects "GFx: actuator groups x" send read requests to the connected actuators. If the L-flag is set for the objects of the connected actuators, the actuators send an answer telegram to the device with their current values.

If the parameter is activated, the current scene values are saved and at the same time overwrite the previous values.

11.7.9.6 Object type actuator group x

Options: Number of light scene
1-bit switching
1-bit blind
1 byte 0 - 100%
Temperature

- 1-bit switching:

- The value is sent as 1-bit switching commands (0 or 1), e.g. On/Off, enabled/blocked, true/untrue.

- 1-bit blind:

- The value is sent as 1-bit switching commands, e.g. travel up or down.

- 1 byte 0 - 100%:

- The value is sent as 1-byte value without a sign (percentage value). (0 = 0%, 255 = 100%)

- Temperature:

- The value is sent as 2-byte floating point value (-671088.6 - 670760.9).

The parameter is used to set the bit size of communication object "GFx: actuator group x" for different applications.

11.7.9.7 Scene number

Options: Setting option from 1to 64

The parameter is used to specify which light scene is to be started.

11.7.9.8 Scene can be saved

Options: Deactivated Activated

- Deactivated:

- Stored scene values that are sent at a scene call-up via different actuator objects, can not be changed and overwritten by the user.

- Activated:

- Current scene values of actuator objects can be overwritten and stored in the device by the user.

The parameter is used to specify whether the user can trigger a scene storage. The communication objects "GFx: actuator groups x" in this case send read requests to the connected actuators. Provided that the L-flag is set for the communication objects of the connected actuators, these will send their current values to the device via an answer telegram. The values are stored in the memory and overwrite the previous values. These are also not lost in the event of a power failure.

11.7.9.9 Actuator group x

Options: Deactivated Activated

- Deactivated:

- The value of actuator group x is not sent at the call-up of the scene.

- Activated:

- The value of actuator group x is sent at the call-up of the scene.

The parameter is used to specify whether a telegram of actuator group x is sent at the call-up of the light scene.

The possible options and setting limits depend on parameter "Object type actuator group x".

11.7.9.10 Number of light scene

Options: Setting option from 1 to 64

Setting option, if parameter "Object type actuator group x" is set on "Light scene number".
