1 Introduction This manual describes the functions of the device named GW1x776 “Easy 8 channel EIB RF receiver” and how to use the ETS configuration software to change the settings and configurations.
2 Application The 8 channel EIB RF receiver is a device that allows the Chorus RF system command and control devices to communicate with a KNX/EIB system, which hence allows the Home Automation Konnex system to be extended using RF control devices. This device is in fact fitted with 8 EIB output channels, each of which can be configured independently to perform different functions.
3 “Settings” menu Here it is possible to configure the programming mode between ETS mode (S-Mode) and Easy mode by the Easy controller software (Kit GW90837, Kit GW90838, GW90840) see Diag 3.1. Diag 3.1 Parameters 3.1.1 Programming mode This parameter determines the programming mode of the device: •...
4 “Channel x” menu This chapter describes the parameters and the communication objects relative to channels 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8 (hereinafter referred to generally as channel x) see Diag. 4.1. The value set for the first option (Matched function) determines the structure of the entire menu. Diag 4.1 Parameters 4.1.1 Matched function...
• priority command See chapter 10 - “Priority command” function 5 “Switching” function This function allows you to enable the general channel x to send on/off commands to the actuators that control the loads. The Channel x menu can be seen in Diag.5.1 below. Diag.
Communication objects The switching function makes the following communication objects visible (See Diag. 5.2.): Diag. 5.2 5.2.1 Ch.x – Switch Using these communication objects, the device sends ON/OFF commands to the bus after receiving load activation/deactivation commands from the RF control devices associated to the general channel x. The enabled flags are C (communication), R (read by bus) and T (transmission) .
6 ”Dimmer” function Here it is possible to configure the channel to control a dimmer actuator, sending ON/OFF telegrams and brightness dimming telegrams. The Channel x menu can be seen in Diag.6.1 below. Diag. 6.1 Parameters There are no parameters to be configured for this function.
Communication objects The dimmer function makes the following communication objects visible (See Diag. 6.2.): Diag. 6.2 6.2.1 Ch.x - Switch Using this communication object, the device sends ON/OFF commands to the bus according to the command received from the RF control devices associated to the general channel x. The enabled flags are C (communication), R (read by bus) and T (transmission) .
7 ”Shutter” function Here it is possible to configure the channel to control a shutter with one button, regulating the UP and DOWN movement of the shutter and the opening/closing of the laths, where applicable. It is possible to send Up/Down telegrams and lath regulation telegrams. The Channel x menu can be seen in Diag.7.1 below.
7.2.2 Ch.x - Shutter stop/Louvres step Using this communication object, the device sends louvres open/close control commands to the bus according to the command received from the RF control devices associated to the general channel x. If the shutter is moving, this command will stop the Up/Down movement of the shutter; the shutter must be at a standstill in order to control the louvres.
Communication objects The Timing function makes the following communication objects visible (See Diag. 8.2.): Diag. 8.2 8.2.1 Ch.x - Timed switch Using this communication object, the device sends START temporization commands to the bus according to the command received from the RF control devices associated to the general channel x The enabled flags are C (communication), R (read by bus) and T (transmission).
9 “Scene” function Here it is possible to configure the channel to send learn and execute scene commands. Two scenes can be managed per channel. The Channel x menu can be seen in Diag. 9.1. Diag. 9.1 9.1 Parameters 9.1.1 Scene 1 Here you can set the value for scene 1 that is to be enabled/disabled after receiving a command from the RF devices associated to the general channel x;...
Communication objects The Scene function makes the following communication object visible (See Diag. 9.2.): Diag. 9.2 9.2.1 Ch.x - Scene Using this communication object, the device sends execute/store scene 1 or scene 2 commands after receiving execute/store scene 1 or scene 2 commands from the RF control devices associated to the general channel x.
10 “Priority command” function Here it is possible to configure the channel to send enable and disable forced positioning commands. It is also possible to configure the value of an enable forced positioning command between ON(DOWN) and OFF(UP). The Channel x menu can be seen in Diag.10.1 below. Diag.
10.2 Communication objects The Priority command function makes the following communication object visible (See Diag. 10.2.): Diag. 10.2 10.2.1 Ch.x – Priority command Using this communication object, the device sends ENABLE/DISABLE forced positioning commands after receiving ENABLE/DISABLE forced positioning commands from the RF control devices associated to the general channel x, according to the values set under the Channel x menu option associated to the priority command function.
