Switching action
Contents

1.Description

This module is used in conjunction with the DCS IP gateway (Gira Article No. 2620xx). Switching actions can be evaluated and downstream functions in the HS/FS or the KNX/EIB can be run.
With the optional assignment of the Inputs 2 to 5, the arriving telegrams can be filtered with regard to the following properties:
  • Bus addresses
  • Top unit
  • Button number
  • Sender type
  • Flags (telegram type ON, OFF, Toggle)
This means that: With inputs set, only telegrams (with switching actions) are evaluated which match the filter properties. Here it is irrelevant whether one or more inputs are assigned.

Example:
With the bus address "0xABCDEF" set, only telegrams are evaluated which have been sent from the bus address "0xABCDEF".

By specifying a button number with the value 2, all telegrams are evaluated which contain a switching action and have been triggered by the 2nd button, regardless of the bus address or the mounted top unit.
Note
If no filters are set, then all telegrams are evaluated by the TC bus as switching actions!
Determination of the optional filter parameters
Two different methods are available for determining the filter parameters:
  1. Use of the HomeServer cheat sheet in the DCS IP gateway.
  2. Use of the logic node Display basic parameters in the "Door communication\Additional nodes" folder.
After the parameters are known, it is recommended that the inputs be assigned either group addresses or fixed values.

2.Inputs

No.NameInitialisationDescription
1Door communication Receive""
(14 bytes – Text)
Here the internal communication object Door communication Receive is assigned by the DCS IP gateway.
2Bus address""
(14 bytes – Text)
Optional specification of a bus address to which filtering should be applied.
The bus address must have the following format:
Example: 0xABCD07 or 0x42A305
Note
If this input remains free, the telegrams of random bus addresses are evaluated.
If a communication object is assigned but is not written to or provided with an initialisation value, then the object is considered not to be set. This means the incoming telegrams of all bus addresses are evaluated.
3Top unit32
(Value range 0 to 31)
The input is pre-initialised with the value 32.
If a group address is linked to the input, the initialisation value or object value is used for the filter property.
4Button number128
(Value range 0 to 127)
The input is pre-initialised with the value 128.
If a group address is linked to the input, the initialisation value or object value is used for the filter property.
5Sender type0
Optional specification of a sender type to which filtering should be applied.
The following parameters are possible:
160 = Door station
161 = Living area intercom
162 = Living area intercom receiver
163 = Bus control device
164 = Switching actuator
165 = TC gateway
166 = Additional gong/Bus chiming mechanism
167 = Button interface
168 = DCS IP gateway
6Flags3
(Value range 0 to 2)
The input is pre-initialised with the value 3. If a group address is linked to the input, the initialisation value or object value is used for the filter property.
Value 0: Filtering is carried out for OFF telegrams.
Value 1: Filtering is carried out for ON telegrams.
Value 2: Filtering is carried out for Toggle telegrams.
7Release1
Release: This input enables the module to be blocked with regard to the telegram evaluation (e.g. for a time-controlled evaluation of a switching action).

Input value is not equal to 0
The module is completely calculated. Output 1 is calculated depending on the default values. Output 2 sends no telegram!

Input value = 0
The module is not completely calculated. Output 2 is calculated depending on the default values. Output 1 sends no telegram!

3.Outputs

No.NameInitialisationSBCDescription
1Trigger - Module active 0s
A 1 is sent on this output when the input telegram matches all filter properties. If filters are missing, then a 1 is sent each time a floor call telegram is received. For input telegrams which do not meet the filter criteria, the output sends a 0.
2Trigger - Module inactive 0s
In the case of a blocked module, the output sends a 1 when the input telegram complies with all filter properties. In the case of a blocked module, the output sends a 0 when the telegram does not comply with the filter properties.
3Bus address""s
(14 bytes – Text)
Output of the bus address in the format: 0xABEF07
4Top unit0s
(value range 0 to 31)
5Button number0s
(value range 0 to 127)
6Sender type0s
Device type from which the TC bus telegram has been sent.
160 = Door station
161 = Living area intercom
162 = Living area intercom receiver
163 = Bus control device
164 = Switching actuator
165 = TC gateway
166 = Additional gong/Bus chiming mechanism
167 = Button interface
168 = DCS IP gateway
7Flags (On/Off)0s
The output sends the value 1 when ON telegrams are received and the value 0 when OFF telegrams are received.
8Flags (toggle)0s
The output toggles the object value from 1 to 0 or from 0 to 1 when toggle telegrams are received.
9Error output0s
The output can be routed to the outside as a diagnostic output if necessary or during start-up in order to obtain information about possible errors.
Values in the value range 0 to 4 are sent.
0 = An error has not occurred.
1 = The default values must be checked.
2 = The characters of the bus or target address must be checked.
3 = A telegram with a different structure has been received (e.g. a light call).
4 = The logic is blocked.
s = send, sbc = send by change
