Button event home station/TC gateway
Contents

1.Description

This module is used in conjunction with the DCS IP gateway (Gira Article No. 2620xx). Button events of a home station or a TC gateway can be evaluated and downstream functions in the HS/FS or KNX/EIB can be run. The button events Door opener, Call acceptance and End of call are evaluated.
With the optional assignment of the Inputs 2 to 5, the arriving telegrams can be filtered with regard to the following properties:
  • Bus addresses
  • Button event
  • DCS Communicator number
  • Target address
This means that: With inputs set, only telegrams 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 were sent from the bus address "0xABCDEF" and triggered by a button event of a home station or a TC gateway.

Application example:
When a door call is triggered, the music sources in all rooms are muted.
The module allows you to evaluate in which room the door conversation was accepted and the sound of the multiroom system can be switched on again in the other rooms.
Note
If no filters are set, all telegrams with button events are evaluated!
Important
The module requires the firmware version of the DCS IP gateway 1.11 or higher!
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.
3Button event0
(Value range 0 to 255)

2=Pressing of the door opener button
16=Pressing of the end of call button
17=Pressing of the call acceptance button

The input is pre-initialised with the value 0, i.e., all telegrams (apart from light button) are evaluated. The light button is evaluated in the Receive\Light function module.
If a group address is linked to the input, the initialisation value or object value is used for the filter property.
4Sender 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
5Target 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.
6Release1
Release: This input enables the module to be blocked with regard to the telegram evaluation (e.g. for a time-controlled floor call function).

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
4Button event0s
A value is sent. This specifies which action was carried out:

1=Pressing of the light button
2=Pressing of the door opener button
16=Pressing of the end of call button
17=Pressing of the call acceptance button
5Sender 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
6Target address""s
(14 bytes – Text)
Output of the target address in the format: 0xABEF07
7Error 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
