The panel has an improved page management
function. Up to 21 independent
pages with various hyperlink
functions and operator levels can now
be created. It is also possible to retrieve
the system page, the “Extras” page,
the alarm control unit or the alarm
messages from each page via a touch
surface.
The end user can retrieve and save
several functions (up to 20) one after
the other and is thus able to create
macros. If a touch surface is assigned
a macro function, all the stored
functions are retrieved in sequence
with only one operation. The panel
can manage up to 32 different macros.
User-defined symbols can be stored
in the panel and represented on the
buttons. The panel software generates
the symbol which should be displayed
in the panel using *.bmp, *.jpg or *.gif
files and automatically adapts the
image size.
Whe the panel is inactive, it switches
on a screen saver. This can be images
from the multimedia/SD card which
are displayed in sequence or an
image that is stored in the memory of
the panel. A single image must be
loaded beforehand from the multimedia/SD
card into the panel‘s memory
via the menus of the panel software.
The multimedia/SD card can then be
removed.
If the screen saver or a background
image is displayed, an additional basic
function such as “Basic lighting
ON” can be retrieved onto the display
via a long push button action
(approx. 5 s, corresponds to a long
operation).
The preview display has been improved.
The preview window now always
displays the function which has just
been parameterised. It is possible to
check the function of individual pages
and hyperlink functions via the preview
window.
The signalling function is carried out
as an additional function and no longer
has its own page. Up to 30 independent
inputs can now be integrated
in the alarm control unit i.e. only a cyclical
monitoring of the input is carried
out if required.
Alternatively, each page can be designed
with symbols for CD, TV, DVD,
video or tuner control and used for
controlling media.
Status feedback objects can be activated
for switch, dimmer and shutter
touch surfaces as well as hyperlink
functions and linked with separate
group addresses or actions.
The system time is backed up in the
event of a mains failure. The internal
time can be synchronised via the bus,
via the system frequency or via an internal
quartz clock in the panel.
In order to control KNX room thermostats,
a 1-byte communication object
for toggling between the room temperature
modes can be enabled in the
settings of a room thermostat touch
surface or in the room thermostat
function.
The timer channels can now also
send 2-byte values, lightscenes or
macro numbers.
