The installation of Somfy products has to be made at easily accessible places only. For maintenance and repairs which are difficult to perform because of bad accessibility (e.g. clotted or extensive clotted floors, installation behind lamps or behind façades) additional costs cannot be claimed against the seller.
Introduction The animeo EIB/KNX 4 AC Motor Controller WM/DRM 220-240 V AC is designed to control four individual configurable motor outputs for venetian blinds, roller shutters, awnings or windows. Local push button inputs can be used for conventional push buttons or as universal binary EIB inputs. The four outputs can also be controlled individually using the animeo RTS radio module.
All indications in the manual marked with * refers to the following terms: Manual order A manual order is a command generated by a local conventional switch or by a Somfy RTS radio hand transmitter. A telegram received on the objects 0-7 is also understood as manual command.

Selection of different user ergonomics Over the Reset/Prog button different switch user ergonomics can be defined for the local switch inputs and/or Somfy RTS radio hand transmitters. These settings are only possible in delivery status before the device was programmed with the ETS or after the device became to unload by the ETS.
Manual setting of the running and tilting times Over the local conventional switch and by radio hand transmitters the running and tilting times per motor output can be adjusted. These settings are only possible on delivery status before the device is programmed with the ETS. As soon as the device is programmed with the ETS, the running and tilting times cannot be programmed over the local conventional switches or by radio hand transmitters.
2. If the device with the ETS has already been programmed. If the device with the ETS has already been programmed, a reset to delivery status is not possible over the Reset/Prog button. Over the function “Unload” in the ETS all settings of the device can be reset to delivery status. The Reset/ Prog button can then be used again.

Object name Type Description Motor 1 Move to IP 1 1 Bit (EIS 1) If a telegram with the value “1” is received on this communication object, the appropriate blind goes to the intermediate position 1 which Motor 2 Move to IP 1 1 Bit (EIS 1) was configured by local switch or by remote control or parameterised in the ETS parameters.

Object name Type Description Mains power failure (230 V) 1 Bit (EIS 1) With this communication object a mains voltage failure can be signaled. As soon as the mains voltage precipitates a telegram with the value “1“ it is sent to the bus. With mains voltage return this communication object sends a telegram with the value “0“.

Selection priority Automatic/manual Options: With this parameter the configurations for the priority become visible. The objects necessary for it appear simultaneously. Motor 1…4 Automatic/manual functions Options: None Priority automatic functions Priority manual functions None: The moving commands are processed in detailed order. Priority automatic function: If an automatic command (1 Byte move command) takes place before a manual command (1 Bit move command), all manual commands are disabled.

Universal binary inputs use Options: With the parameter “Yes” four further parameter cards (binary input 1…4) are opened. The local switch inputs can be linked now over the appropriate objects (69-100). A conventional switch can be used thus for most diverse functions. For example switching, venetian blind function, dimming or sending values.
Page 16
Windows Venetian blind with EU ergonomics: With this parameter it is specified that the venetian blind is in EU ergonomics over the local switch inputs or over Somfy RTS radio hand transmitter. If the local switch inputs are used as universal binary inputs, the control ergonomics is defined over the appropriate parameters (short/long depressing the button).

Step length Basis 0,05 s (0 - 200) Options: 0 - 200 The confiured time here defines the time for a tilting step. This parameter is visible only if as type of end product either venetian blind with EU ergonomics or venetian blind with US ergonomics were selected. Slack compensation 0,05 s (0 - 200) Options:...

Parameter card „Functions motor 1...4 / Functions motor 1-4“ Four individual parameter cards (Functions Motor 1...4) become visible if on the parameter card “General“ the basic adjustment of the motors is set to “Individual“. Only one parameter card (Functions Motor 1-4) becomes visible, if on the parameter card “General“ the basic adjust- ment of the motors is set to “Common“.
Page 19
Options: Over this parameter the local push button inputs and the Somfy RTS radio orders can be blocked by object (56-60). If the appropriate object receives a telegram with the value “1“ when an end product is in full moving process, this action will first be executed completely. Only then, further commands over the local push button inputs and the Somfy RTS radio will be blocked.

Parameter cards „Binary input 1...4“ General information For each binary input four different basic functions are available: • Venetian blind UP / DOWN • Switch/dry contact • 8-Bit value (rising edge) • Dimming The individual functions and parameters depend on the selection of the basic function and are now described. The four different possibilities are described using screenshots of the binary input 1, contact A/B and are identical for the binary inputs 2-4, contacts C/D, E/F and G/H.

Rising toggle If a rising edge at the local input appears, the object value is inverted. If a falling edge at the local input appears, this is not evaluated. The duration of the manipulation is not evaluated. Falling toggle If a falling edge at the local input appears, the object value is inverted. If a rising edge at the local input appears, this is not evaluated. The duration of the manipulation is not evaluated.

Parameter card “Feedback motor position“ On this parameter card the parameters can be selected in order to announce the status positions of the individual blinds on the bus. The status positions generated thus are based on the configured running and tilting times of the parameter cards “Motor 1…4“ or“ Motor 1-4“.
UP / DOWN and slat position Over this parameter the position UP / DOWN and the position of the slat is sent to the bus for the appropriate motor, depending on the parameter “Motor 1-4 type of feedback “. “0/255 “= slat opened, “255/0 “= slat closed The value for the slat position which is sent depends on the parameter selection on the parameter card “General, slat position closed/reversed ONLY FOR VENETIAN BLINDS“.
6.3 Status of configurations The inquiry of the status of the configurations is only possible on delivery before the device is programmed with the ETS. As soon as the device is programmed with the ETS, the status of the configurations can no longer be checked via the Reset/Prog button. If the device is unloaded by the ETS, the status of the configurations can again be queried over the Reset/Prog button.
