Basic principle

Address Assignment

 
All elements have two rotary switches for address assignment. Each switch has 16 valid positions.
  • The first rotary switch sets the group address g to alphabetic values (A, B, ......,P).
  • The second rotary switch sets the element address e to numerical values (0, 1,...,15).
  • Arbitrarily many elements can have identical g and e: All elements with identical g and e switch simultaneously.
Group address "g" defines a specific group:
  • E.g. all sun blinds have the same g but different e.
Element address "e".
  • Sensors with e = 0 control all actuators with identical g regardless of the e setting (e.g. central control for sun blinds).
  • e = 0 : Master switch; E.g. Wind detector (e = 0) draws back all sun blinds with identical g and arbitrary e.
Address assignments can be changed both when the element has power or is disconnected from the powerline.
