Logic startup behaviour
Contents

1.Start of starting process

  • All communication objects are set to the initialisation value of the communication object.
  • The values for the retentive communication object are loaded from the memory and overwrite the initialisation value of the communication object.
  • With retentive KNX communication objects with a set transfer flag in the HS/FS, the value is sent to the KNX.
  • Scanning of the KNX communication object is started (this only concerns the communication objects flagged in Expert/the communication object with "Query during starting").
  • If the KNX responds, scanned communication objects are set to the value returned.
  • Scanning of the KNX is ended when all queried communication objects have responded or a timeout has expired.

2.Start of logic initialisation

  • Now all logic nodes are initialised. The sequence is selected so that all logic nodes linked to the outputs are already initialised (in other words from left to right).

The following occurs during the initialisation of a logic node:

* = one or more other logic nodes
** = it cannot be predicted which communication object is used for initialisation.
  • Importing of the retentive data of all logic nodes (e.g. elapsed operating time meter etc.). No outputs are calculated yet.
  • All logic nodes with "Recalculation during start = YES" are calculated. The outputs calculated during the initialisation process are dependent on the definition of the logic nodes and are contained in their documentation.
  • The outputs calculated during the initialisation process can set values of communication objects, execute commands and initiate recalculations in linked logic nodes. The order of the initialisation ensures that the linked logic nodes are already initialised.
Note
During the initialisation phase, all logic nodes already initialised can be initiated for recalculation by a communication object.

4.End of logic initialisation

The communication object assigned to the "System start" is set to 1.
See also the documentation on the Status objects.

5.End of starting process

Note
The fixed value on the input is used in most cases only if there is no connection on the input. A fixed value together with wiring is a special case and only practical for certain things.
