KLIC-LG1 1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 KLIC-LG1 KLIC-LG1 from Zennio is a gateway that provides full-duplex communication between the KNX home automation system and LG air-conditioning systems through the 3-wire gateway provided. Because of this bidirectional communication, the air conditioning system can be controlled from the home automation system in the same manner as it is through its own controls.
5. KNX connector Figure 1. Element scheme. KLIC-LG1 connects to the KNX bus via the corresponding built-in terminal (5). Once the device is provided with power from the KNX bus, both the physical address and the KLIC- LG1 application program can be downloaded.
(heating or cooling). If they work in opposite modes, the CH 07 error will appear. For detailed information about the technical features of KLIC-LG1, as well as on security and installation procedures, please refer to the device Datasheet, bundled in the device packaging and also available at http://www.zennio.com.
Logic functions: see section 2.3. AC gateway: see section 2.4. The latter entails all functions specific to KLIC-LG1, i.e., all the functions related to interfacing with the A/C unit and to the management of the climate control system. ETS PARAMETERISATION...

KLIC-LG1 later sections of this document. Please, note that AC Gateway is permanently enabled. Heartbeat (Periodical Alive Notification): this parameter lets the integrator incorporate a 1-Bit object to the project (“[Heartbeat] Object to Send ‘1’”) that will be sent periodically with value “1” to notify that the device is still working (still alive).

KLIC-LG1 “[AC] Reference Temperature (Status)”: shows the temperature that is being used by the A/C unit as reference. See section 2.4.1 for further options. Several error objects. See section 2.4.6. http://www.zennio.com Technical Support: http://support.zennio.com...
All inputs are disabled by default. Depending on the function selected for each input, additional tabs will be included in the menu on the left. 2.2.1 BINARY INPUT Please refer to the “Binary Inputs” user manual, available in the KLIC-LG1 product section, at the Zennio website (www.zennio.com). http://www.zennio.com Technical Support: http://support.zennio.com...
It is possible to connect motion detectors (models ZN1IO-DETEC-P and ZN1IO-DETEC- X from Zennio) to the input ports of KLIC-LG1. Please refer to the “Motion Detector” user manual, available in the KLIC-LG1 product section, at the Zennio website (www.zennio.com). Notes: The ZN1IO-DETEC-P motion detector is compatible with a variety of Zennio devices.
KNX bus, and to send the results through other communication objects specifically enabled for this purpose. KLIC-LG1 can implement up to 10 different and independent functions, each of them entirely customisable and consisting in up to 4 consecutive operations each.
KLIC-LG1 allows controlling and monitoring an air-conditioning unit in the same way it would be through the wired remote control it is provided with. Through the KNX bus, KLIC-LG1 can be sent orders to control the following basic functions of the air conditioning unit: Control configuration, which allows establishing the type of master-slave control desired to KLIC-LG1.

These functionalities imply changes in the state of the A/C unit, which therefore notifies KLIC-LG1 periodically about the current state. When KLIC-LG1 is notified about a change, it updates the status objects and sends them to the KNX bus. In addition, KLIC- LG1 provides an error management function (see section 2.4.6), which allows sending...

OPERATION MODES Figure 8: A/C Gateway. Configuration. Operation Modes. KLIC-LG1 allows controlling the A/C unit operating mode through the following objects, available by default: “[AC] Mode”: 1-Byte object which allows selecting the A/C unit operation mode. There will be only taken in account values that are appropriated with some of available modes in LG units, which are represented in Table 1.
Page 17
KLIC-LG1 Simplified Mode: in addition to the “Mode” and “Mode (Status)” 1-Byte objects, available by default, it is possible to commute and to verify the current operation mode through the following 1-Bit objects, which get enabled after activating this parameter: ...

A/C unit. When KLIC-LG1 receives an order to send the A/C unit a setpoint which is greater or lower than the configured limits, it will actually send the limit value.

KLIC-LG1 OPERATING TIME The hours that A/C unit has been operating can be known through the 2-byte object “[AC] Operating time”. This object can be read and overwritten during run time. Figure 1. A/C Gateway. Configuration. Operating time. Furthermore, the available parameters in ETS are: Initial Operation Time: ...
Page 20
Initial Configuration: allows setting the desired initial state that KLIC-LG1 will send the A/C unit after programming or restarting the device: “Default”: the initial state will be the last one KLIC-LG1 is aware of. “Custom”: see section 2.4.4.
The Fan function allows sending the A/C unit orders to switch the ventilation speed along the available levels. To that end, KLIC-LG1 provides a percentage control. In addition, KLIC-LG1 allows activating the automatic fan speed mode, in case of being available in the unit, and an individual object for automatic speed control.
2.4.3 FLAPS The Flaps function allows sending the A/C unit orders to switch the position of the flaps (or vanes) that direct the air flow outwards. To that end, KLIC-LG1 provides a percentage control. In addition, KLIC-LG1 allows activating the direct positioning of the flaps and the swing and swirl functions (so the flaps oscillate continuously for better distribution of the airflow), in case of being available in the unit.

KLIC-LG1 ETS PARAMETRISATION After enabling this function, the menu on the left will show a new tab named Flaps, containing the following parameters: Figure 16: A/C Gateway. Flaps. Horizontal Flaps: enables the “[AC] Horizontal Flaps: Swing” and “[AC] Horizontal Flaps: Swing (Status)”...
Off; 1 = Swing On” or “0 = Swing On; 1 = Swing Off”. 2.4.4 INITIAL CONFIGURATION The custom initial configuration allows setting the desired status that KLIC-LG1 will send the A/C unit after downloading or restarting the device. This status is defined in terms of on/off, mode, fan speed, flaps position and temperature setpoint.
Page 25
KLIC-LG1 ETS PARAMETRISATION After selecting “Custom” for the Initial Configuration option under the Configuration tab (see section 2.4.1), a new tab named Initial Configuration is displayed with the following parameters: Figure 17: Initial configuration. On/Off: “Last” (the state the machine had before the power failure), “On” or “Off”.
2.4.5 SCENES The Scenes function allows defining a set of statuses (in terms of On/Off, mode, fan speed, etc.) that KLIC-LG1 will send to the A/C unit whenever it receives the corresponding scene values from the KNX bus. ETS PARAMETRISATION After enabling this function (see section 2.4.1), a new tab named Scenes will be...
There is a LED notification, by which the LED on the device will light green when this error is active. Errors in the A/C unit: errors reported by the A/C unit itself. KLIC-LG1 can notify the KNX bus about the reported error code, although referring to the specific documentation of the A/C machine is advisable in order to obtain further information.
Page 28
KLIC-LG1 ETS PARAMETRISATION The error handling function does not entail any parameter configuration. The following objects are available by default: Internal error objects: “[AC] Internal Error: Control” (1-Bit object). “[AC] Internal Error: Communication” (1-Bit object). In case any of the above errors is detected, the corresponding object will be sent (with a value of “1”) to the KNX bus.
KLIC-LG1 ANNEX I. COMMUNICATION OBJECTS “Functional range” shows the values that, with independence of any other values permitted by the bus according to the object size, may be of any use or have a particular meaning because of the specifications or restrictions from both the KNX standard or the application program itself.
