Overview of the DCA commissioning tool

The following section includes basic information about the DCA commissioning tool.
DCA is a project planning software with which you can plan the KNX functions of the display.
Every display can be set up individually. DCA leads you through the configuration during project
planning.
Essential tasks during project planning with DCA are:
Specifying fundamental KNX settings, e.g. display language of the panel (basic settings).
■
Configuration of existing applications.
■
Configuration of pages, e.g. arrangement of buttons.
■
Configuration of control elements, e.g. selection of button icons.
■
Linking with group addresses to establish the connection to actuators and sensors via the
■
bus.
