Technical Manual Taster BE-TA55
The parameter "switch short/long" can control for example two channels of an actuator by using only
one button. Furthermore you can switch a channel with a long keystroke on and with a short
keystroke off. For both objects, a function can be set individually. Therefore the sub‐functions on, off,
toggle and nothing are available. Two communication objects are displayed, which can be connected
in any way. By activating the sub‐function "toggle" an additional communication object appears,
called "value for toggling". This object is a status object for the push button and must be connected
to the status‐object of the actuator (have a look at: 4.5.1 Toggle)
The following diagram shows the behavior of this parameter. Both objects (push‐button and push‐
button long) were set to toggle. The object for the long keystroke is connected to channel A of the
switch actuator and the object for the short keystroke is connected to channel B:
In this example the push button toggles Channel B with a short keystroke. The Channel A does not
react to a short keystroke. This one reacts only at a long keystroke with toggling.
