1 Introduction This manual describes the functions of the device named GW1x797 “ 1 channel 8A motor command actuator” and how to use the ETS configuration software to change the settings and configurations.
2 Application The GW 1x797 motor command actuator is used to control motors on shutters and blinds using an 8 A relay. The device has 1 channel with an output that has an exchange contact to which two terminals are connected, one to control the upstroke movement of the shutter/blind, and the other to control the downstroke movement.

The activation of the relay is also influenced by parameters that determine the status when the power to the bus drops below a certain level, or when the device is started up or rebooted. The table below summarises the priorities described above. Priority Object Maximum...
3 “General” Menu The Main menu lists all the parameters needed to configure the device settings according to the type of application required (see fig. 3.1). Diag. 3.1 Parameters 3.1.1 Operating mode This selects the actual operation mode for the device, the settings refer to: •...

• venetian blind This enables the device which controls the blind motor. In this specific case it is possible to control the lath regulation steps as blinds, unlike shutters, do have them. The item Shutter control movement time (n X 100 ms) and the new menu Automatic movements are then displayed and will be analysed in chapter 4.

power and automatically reinstate the function, putting the load in the condition set by the previous forced positioning command. The behaviour of the device at the end of the forced positioning period is indicated under the item Position on forced positioning, block or alarm disactivation (see 3.1.8). 3.1.6 Block function This is to enable and configure the function and make the Block menu and relative communication object visible.

• back to previous position Each time that the block function, the forced positioning function or the alarm functions are cancelled, the device moves the shutter/blind to the position in which it was found before the function was enabled. • last received cmd follows / back to prev.

3.1.11 Stop minimum time for reversing This allows you to set the minimum time that must pass between a movement command on the load in one direction and then in the other. The settings range are provided in the drop-down menu (an interval of from 100 ms to 5 seconds).
• disabled It is not possible for the bus to set the percentage position of the awnings/blinds; the communication object mentioned above is therefore not visible. • enabled It is possible for the bus to set the percentage position of the awning/blind using the communication object mentioned above;...

3.2.1 Movement Here it is possible to raise/lower the shutter/blinds using a bus command. When the device receives a telegram on this communication object, according to the command received, it will feed power to the contact associated to the requested movement. This allows you to define which command the upstroke movement and downstroke movement is associated to according to the value in the Movement object values in the Main menu;...

indicated in the command; in this case it is the device which autonomously decides the movement to be performed in order to reach the position indicated in the bus command received. We would like to emphasise the importance of the value entered under the Travel range time [sec] setting as the intermediate positions and the relative autonomous movements that the device makes when it receives a command on this communication object, are calculated using the settings indicated under this parameter.
4 “Automatic movements” menu The Automatic movements menu, visible if the Operating mode in the Main menu is set to blinds, displays the parameters which are used to set the automatic regulation of the laths at the end of any movements of the blinds (see Diag.
• always Every time that any of the conditions described in the presentation of the function occurs, regardless of whether the movement is UP or DOWN, the device will always automatically regulate the laths; with this setting, the Automatic movements menu displays the options: Number of pulses after up movement, Number of pulses after down movement and Time between 2 pulses for shutter movement (n X 100 ms) which will be analysed further on.
5 “Block” menu The Block menu, visible if the Block function in the Main menu is set to active, displays the parameters which are used to set the block function parameters used by the device (see Diag. 5.1). Fig. 5.1 Parameters 5.1.1 Block activation value This is used to set what logic value the bus telegram must indicate to trigger the block function;...
• shutter up When the block function is triggered the device immediately raises the shutter/blind to the upper end position; if the shutter is already in the upper end position, the device will perform no action. • shutter down When the block function is triggered the device immediately lowers the shutter/blind to the lower end position;...
6 “Alarms” menu The Alarms menu, visible if the Alarm function in the Main menu is set to active, displays the parameters which are used to set the alarm function parameters used by the device (see Diag. 6.1). This function is usually used in combination with the wind or rain sensors to protect the shutter/blind from damage caused by weather conditions.

6.1.2 Number of coupled sensors Here you can enter the number of the sensors that you intend to use to create the alarm function; according to the value set for this item, different options will be visible so that the function can be configured correctly.
6.1.6 Monitoring time [min] Here you can set the time, expressed in minutes, after which the device triggers the alarm function if it does not periodically receive the alarm unarmed status telegram from all the sensors; the values can range from 1 (minute) to 60 (minutes). It is most important to configure the sensors connected to the device so that they periodically communicate the alarm unarmed status to the device, at an interval which is lower than the value set for this option.
7 “Scenes” menu The Scenes menu, visible if the Scenes function in the Main menu is set to active, displays the parameters which are used to customise the scenes function parameters (see Diag. 7.1). Fig. 7.1...
Parameters This chapter provides a general description of the parameters for all the scenes, using an X to indicate the scene number the description refers to. 7.1.1 Scene number x Here you can assign a number to the scene x so that it can be recalled by a bus command; the values can range from 0 to 63 plus the “unassigned”...
