KLIC-SG 1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 KLIC-SG KLIC-SG from Zennio is a gateway that enables full-duplex communication between the KNX home automation system and indoor range Samsung air-conditioning systems through the 2-wire connection provided by the latter. 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.
F3/F4 Communication (3): 2-wire communication cable that will connect KLIC-SG to the A/C unit. The other end of the cable, therefore, is intended to be connected to the F3/F4 connector in the PCB board of the internal unit.
Figure 2. Connecting KLIC-SG to the F3/F4 bus. Important: KLIC-SG is not compatible with Samsung wired remote control. For detailed information about the technical features of KLIC-SG, as well as on security and installation procedures, please refer to the device Datasheet, bundled in the device packaging and also available at www.zennio.com.
Inputs. Logic functions. A/C gateway. The latter entails all functions specific to KLIC-SG, i.e., all the functions related to interfacing with the A/C unit and to the management of the climate control system. ETS PARAMETRISATION After importing the corresponding database in ETS and adding the device into the topology of the desired project, the configuration process begins by entering the Parameters tab of the device.

KLIC-SG “[AC] Mode” and “[AC] Mode (Status)”: allow setting the desired operation mode (either Automatic, Heating, Cooling, Fan or Dry) or reading the current mode, respectively. See section 2.2.1 for further options. “[AC] Fan: Percentage Control” and “[AC] Fan: Percentage Control (Status)”: allow establishing desired fan speed or reading the current fan...
KLIC-SG 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-SG can be sent orders to control the following basic functions of the air conditioning unit: On/Off switch of the air-conditioning unit.
Page 11
These functionalities imply changes in the state of the A/C unit, which therefore notifies KLIC-SG periodically about the current state. When KLIC-SG is notified about a change, it updates the status objects and sends them to the KNX bus. In addition, KLIC-SG provides an error management function (see section 2.2.5), which allows sending messages to the KNX bus in case the A/C unit reports any errors.

KLIC-SG KLIC-SG 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 Samsung units, which are represented in Table 1.

KLIC-SG Fan [disabled/enabled]: enables the “Fan” tab, for advanced configuration of the fan functions. See section 2.2.2. TEMPERATURE MEASURED BY THE A/C UNIT Figure 8. A/C Gateway. Configuration. Temperature measured by the A/C unit. Monitoring [disabled/enabled]: enables the “[AC] AC Unit Measured Temperature”...

If during 3 minutes, no temperature values are received, values of the internal probe will be recuperated again to execute temperature control, in the same way as it will be controlled if KLIC-SG was configured disabling this option. If a new external temperature value is received, the control will be executed again by using this external value.

KLIC-SG Figure 10. A/C Gateway. Configuration. Temperature setpoint. Once these limits are enabled, several objects to modify them at run time will be available. The values of this objects will be restricted to an interval which is defined by the absolute limits established by the A/C unit (16ºC to 30ºC).

Deactivate; 1 = Activate]: sets the polarity of the above object. Automatic Off Delay [1…60…3600] s: sets the time KLIC-SG waits before switching the A/C machine off. Any switch-off order received during the delay will abort the time count. This delay can be changed at run time by using the object “[AC] Automatic Off: Delay”.
Page 18
Initial Configuration: allows setting the desired initial state that KLIC-SG will send the A/C unit after programming or restarting the device: [Default]: the initial state will be the last one KLIC-SG is aware of. [Custom]: see section 2.2.3.

KLIC-SG Seconds [disabled/enabled]: enables the 2-Byte object “[AC] Operating time (s)”. This object can be read and overwritten during executing time. Hours [disabled/enabled]: enables the 4-Byte object “[AC] Operating time (h)”. This object can be read and overwritten during executing time.
Ionizer [disabled/enabled]: enables the object “[AC] Ionizer” y “[AC] Ionizer (Status)”, to activate the air purification mode. 2.2.2 FAN In the “Fan” tab, KLIC-SG allows advanced configuration of the fan functionality. The following features are displayed: 360 CST: allows configuration for 360 cassette unit, enabling custom objects and configurations for this type of IDU.

Moreover, the polarity can be configured by parameter: Automatic Mode Object Polarity [0 = Automatic On; 1 = Automatic Off = Automatic Off; 1 = Automatic On]: sets the polarity of the above objects.
A/C unit is switched off. 2.2.3 INITIAL CONFIGURATION The custom initial configuration allows setting the desired status that KLIC-SG will send the A/C unit after downloading or restarting the device. This status is defined in terms of on/off, mode, fan speed, air flow direction, flaps (horizontal and vertical) and temperature setpoint.

2.2.4 SCENES The Scenes function allows defining a set of statuses (in terms of On/Off, mode, fan speed, etc.) that KLIC-SG 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 2.2.1), a new tab named Scenes will be...
