Data Options
The data configure various communication settings that affect the operation of the Clipsal C-Bus Interface
protocol.
SV001 Data
[--------]
To modify options, use the keypad as explained in section Entering Data Options (see page 344).
Option 1 – Log Communication Events
• Enabled the service will log communication events that occur on the C-Bus System to the event buffer. It is
recommended this is only turned on for commissioning purposes as a large number of events can be
generated.
• Disabled the communication events will not be logged.
Option 2 – Log Communication Errors
• Enabled the service will log C-Bus Communication errors that occur which relate to the PCI not being
present or not accepting commands.
• Disabled the errors will not be logged and requests that generate errors will be silently discarded.
Option 3,4,5,6,7 and 8 - Reserved
• Reserved do not modify
Enabling/disabling or modifying the settings of reserved options is not recommended.
PCI Fail Time
The PCI fail time allows a timer to be triggered on each successful request from the C-Bus Clipsal PCI Interface.
When this timer expires the system will perform a check to see if the PCI is still present and then activate the fail
PGM output if a response is not received.
SV001 PCI fail
time: 120 secs
To modify the fail time (000 to 255, a setting of 000 will result in the default of 120 seconds being used), use the
keypad as explained in section Entering Decimal Numbers (see page 341) and press [ENTER].
i
If the PCI fails to reply to a command or does not send information within the poll fail time the service
will go in to a retry mode where it will continually attempt to restart the PCI. This allows recovery of the
PCI from a power failure or from being used and reconfigured during a C-Bus Programming session.
PCI Fail PGM Output
The PCI fail output is activated if the PCI is disconnected and the system does not get a valid response to a
command. The PGM is deactivated when a valid command is received.
SV001 PCI fail
pgm: --000:00
To modify the PCI fail PGM, use the settings as explained in section Entering PGM and PGM Groups (see page
345).
