ADDRESSING OF DEVICES CONNECTED WITH 4 3 3 USING THE CONTROL UNIT BUTTONS THE BLUEBUS SYSTEM The control unit has 4 buttons, which behave differently in relation to the current status of the control unit. By means of addressing using special jumpers, the “BlueBUS” system enables the user to make the control unit recognise the photocells and OPERATION DURING PROGRAMMING assign the correct detection function.

“SLAVE” MODE Compatibility guaranteed with two products of the current generation or with one of the current generation and one of the previous generation (not prior to January 2019) When properly programmed and connected, ROBUS can function in “Slave” mode; this type of function is used when 2 opposing gate leaves must be automated with the synchronised movement of the two gate leaves.

DEVICE LEARNING The status LED (L) is lit steady red After connecting the power supply, the control unit must learn the devices connected to the “BlueBus” and “STOP” inputs, and also the rotation direction of the motor set on the selector. Moreover, this procedure rec- ognises and memorises the input and output expansion board connected to the control unit.
5 3 2 LEAF LENGTH LEARNING OPERATIONS If the procedure was successful, LEDs "L3" and "L4" will switch off. Before proceeding, make sure that the gate leaf is positioned midway along its path (not completely closed nor completely open). If it is not, unlock the motor, move the leaf then lock the motor again.
CHECKING THE AUTOMATION’S MOVEMENT INVERTING THE DIRECTION OF MOTOR ROTATION Once the leaf length has been learned, it is advisable to carry out a few manoeuvres in order to verify that the automation moves properly To modify the rotation direction, simply position selector (A) in the desired direction and start the BlueBus search procedure (refer to the “Device learning”...
