Analyzing Feedback; Netlinx Send_Commands; Add; Adr - AMX NetLinx Interface NXB-KNX Operation/Reference Manual

Analyzing Feedback

Data feedback is analyzed in a DATA_EVENT:
In cases of multiple feedback, the corresponding number of events is actuated.
Channel feedback is analyzed in a CHANNEL_EVENT.
Level feedback is analyzed in a LEVEL_EVENT.

NetLinx Send_Commands

Commands to the module always take place per SEND_COMMAND to the device.
KNX_Tools.axi provides convenience function equivalents (See the Functions
Available In KNX_Tools.axi table on page 37).
The NXB-KNX supports the following NetLinx commands:
NetLinx Send_Commands
Command

ADD=

Adds a KNX group
address to list.

ADR

Definition of output
format of KNX group
address
(Main/Middle/Sub-
group or Main group/
Sub-group).
NXB-KNX Operation/Reference Guide
The feedback is always in STRING format
One DATA_EVENT is actuated per feedback (exactly one feedback in the DATA.TEXT)
Description
Syntax:
ADD=<No>:<Type>:<GrpAdr>[:Flags]
Note: Flags are optional
Parameters:
• <No> = AMX Number of Actuator (range = 1 - 3000)
• <Type> = Actuator Type (Switch, Control, Dim4, 1Byte, 2Byte, 3Byte, 4Byte, Text,
HexText)
• <GrpAdr> = KNX group address in 2 or 3 grouped display
• <Flags>:
EIS5 = Value is reported additionally as ASCII Float Value. The KNX Value is
converted according to EIS5 Standard (only valid for 2Byte Actuators)
Time = Value is reported additionally as ASCII Time (hh:mm:ss).
Note: Only valid for 3Byte Actuators
Date = Value is reported additionally as ASCII Date (MM/DD/YY).
Note: Only valid for 3Byte Actuators)
PS = Actuator is automatically polled with Start of AMX System
Note: Flags are separated by Commas
Examples:
SEND_COMMAND dvKNX,'ADD=13:Switch:1/0/11'
SEND_COMMAND dvKNX,'ADD=17:1Byte:4/7/12:PS'
SEND_COMMAND dvKNX,'ADD=45:2Byte:3/0/11:EIS5'
SEND_COMMAND dvKNX,'ADD=12:3Byte:2/1/101:TIME,PS'
Syntax:
ADR <Value>
Parameters:
<Value> = 2/3
Example:
SEND_COMMAND dvKNX,'ADR 3'
