2.5.2. Roller blind master

Description
This object enables group-wise and master control of for example roller blinds, sun blinds and roof windows.
The decentralized roller blind channels configured above (chapter 2.5.1.) are included in the Roller blind mas-
ter by marking them in the channel matrix.
The roll time set for the Roller blind master applies to all indiviual controls and overrides their roll times. Enter-
ing a Reverse Up Time allows automatic adjustment of tilting blinds at the end of a cycle. After elapse of the
set roll time, the Controller switches the motor in the opposite direction for the set Reverse Up time.
The Roller blind master offers two operation modes for starting the motors:
1. Simultaneous: All motors are started simultaneously.
2. Sequential: All motors - starting with the lowest address - are started at 1 sec. intervals. Thereby current
peaks are avoided.
Address configuration
The Roller blind master can only be configured for an uneven address number. This means that the Up-chan-
nel must lie on an uneven (eg A1, B5 or P7) and the Down-channel must lie on an even address (eg A2, B6 or
P8).
Operation
The Up- and Down-buttons configured for the addresses of the Roller blind master allows very simple opera-
tion:
• By pressing a direction key once, all selected motors roll until end position is reached or the roll time has
elapsed.
• By pressing the same direction key once more, the set roll time starts again. Thus, it cannot be stopped.
• By pressing the other direction key, the motors stop shortly (decentrally set Reverse Up time) and run in
the opposite direction until the end position is reached or the set roll time has elapsed.
• After elapse of the Down-time, the motors run in the Up-direction, provided that a Reverse Up time has
been entered and the Tilting blinds function has been activated at the decentral roller blind control.
• During the master command, all motors can also be actuated through their individual decentral roller blind
control channels. All functions of the decentral roller blind control are available (Stop, reversal of direction,
adjustment of tilting blinds).
Automation of master command
Surely, many methods of automatic operation of roller blinds exist. Not only wind- and rain sensors, but also
light sensors and clock timers increase comfort through automatic functions.
Such functions should - if not configured as priority address - usually be made by means of Logic setup,
where primarily edge triggering is to be used which prevents continuous signals and allows permanent con-
trol by the operator. Further details can be found in the chapter describing the logic setup.
Hint: Please be aware that in the application of clock timers in particular, only one master command can be
executed at a time. When several master commands are activated at the same time, the Controller only exe-
cutes the command with the highest address number, eg H3/H4 before F7/F8.
