G 3800 X015 Configuration Software

2.2.6. Master function

Description
The master function allows simultaneous activation of a random number of channels configured for suitable
objects.
When the master function is activated, an on-signal is generated on the channels configured for switching on.
Likewise, an off-signal is generated on channels configured for switching off. The objects configured for these
channels thus determine the behaviour of the outputs.
Note: the following characteristics of the master function:
• A master function has priority over the individual functions at the time of activation, ie it is not possible to
activate the individual channels as long as the master function is on. Upon reset of the master function,
the decentral functions are accepted again.
• It is to be noted, in particular in connection with real-time clocks, that only one master command can
apply at a time. When several master functions are activated at the same time, only the one with the high-
est address number (eg B7 has priority over A5) will be applied.
• The master function cannot affect channels with advanced functions, eg alarm channels or analog sen-
sors.
• A master function cannot activate another master function.
