In the Light operating mode, the physical state of the relay is also determined by the configuration of Parameter 2 as described below:

• Roller shutter mode
This operation is divided into two further modes: Standard shutter and shutter with slat orientation. The choice of mode is related to the Function chosen which, if configured as Standard shutter, enables
operation typical of a normal shutter, managing its opening and closing. If configured as Shutter with sunshade slats, it also enables the functions linked to management of sunshade slat orientation. The
above modes use the timing identified by the accompanying Parameters.
The output operation is described below:
Parameters
Description of output operation
When the OPEN command is received, output A is switched and remains in that condition for the amount of time identified by the parameter. If any further command is
Up time from
received, the output switches, interrupting the movement.
3 sec to 240 sec
The parameter indicates the time it takes the motor-driven actuator to fully OPEN the shutter, covering the total distance between the two ends.
When the CLOSE command is received, output B is switched and remains in that condition for the amount of time identified by the parameter. If any further command is
Down time from
received, the output switches, interrupting the movement.
3 sec to 240 sec
The parameter indicates the time it takes the motor-driven actuator to fully CLOSE the shutter, covering the total distance between the two ends.
Time delay from
When the OPEN or CLOSE command is received with Family (multicast) and/or General (broadcast) routing, the output switches after the delay identified by the parameter.
0 sec to 25,000 mS
The parameter indicates the time delay for implementation in Family or General control modes.
When the POSITION 1 or 2 command is received, output B is switched for the amount of time it takes to fully lower the shutter; it is then de-energised and output A
Preset position 1 and 2
switched for the percentage time setting for the parameter, giving it as a percentage of the opening time.
Same operation as for the Standard Shutter.
Up time from
The parameter indicates the time it takes the motor-driven actuator to fully OPEN the shutter, covering the total distance between the two ends, including complete rotation
3 sec to 240 sec
of the sunshade slats.
Same operation as for the Standard Shutter.
Down time from
The parameter indicates the time it takes the motor-driven actuator to fully CLOSE the shutter, covering the total distance between the two ends, including complete
3 sec to 240 sec
rotation of the sunshade slats.
Time delay from
Same operation as for the Standard Shutter.
0 sec to 25,000 mS
Preset position
1 and 2, from 0 to 100% Same operation as for the Standard Shutter.
When the GUIDED (INCREASE / DECREASE) command is received, output A or B is switched with pulses, the duration of which matches the time identified by the
Slat step time,
parameter.
from 50 to 2,500 ms
The parameter represents the output activation time, which corresponds to the minimum sunshade slat rotation movement.
When the GUIDED (INCREASE / DECREASE) command is received, switching of output A or B is interrupted by a pause the duration of which matches the time identified
Slat pause time,
by the parameter, thus slowing slat rotation.
50 to 2,500 ms
The parameter represents the length of the pause between output activations during slat movement.
Number of guided steps,
When reception of the GUIDED (INCREASE / DECREASE) command is prolonged, output A or B is switched in pulses, the number of pulses being identified by the
from 3 to 30 steps
parameter. Then, it remains switched with contact closed until movement is completed.
When the CLOSE command is received, output B switches and remains in this state until the movement is complete. Then, it is de-energised and output A switches to
Slat movement time,
bring the sunshade slats to the vertical position.
50 to 2,500 ms
The parameter indicates the time it takes the motor-driven actuator to bring the slats to halfway between the two extreme positions.
Routing
The address of each channel consists of two alphanumeric characters (with hexadecimal numbering, i.e. from 0 to F). According to the general AVEbus system routing rules, each channel can be configured to be
controlled by a single address or by a special group address selected through channel settings. In the case of standard routing, the first alphanumeric character in the address identifies the family and the second
alphanumeric character identifies the individual actuator in that family. Since hexadecimal numbering is used, 15 groups of addresses (families) are available, each consisting of 16 mutually independent addresses
(called "point"). There are basically three ways to route the channels of AVEbus devices:
• Direct (Point-to-Point): the individual channel (Tx) only manages those channels having the same address as one or more actuator devices (Rx).
• Family (multicast): the individual channel (Tx) manages all actuator device channels (Rx) for which the first digit in the address is the same as the second digit in the address of the control device (Tx). The device
address (Tx) must always begin with the special value "F" followed by the group of addresses to be controlled. In all, there are 15 groups, each consisting of a maximum of 16 addresses.
• General (broadcast): the individual channel (Tx) manages all channels of the system actuator devices (Rx). The device address (Tx) must be set as 'FF'. With this type of routing, the Status LED output is disabled.
For Lighting mode only, the Group command is added to the above routing modes. Such routing is equivalent to an Alternative Direct command identified with an address that can be chosen from among those
contained in the families of addresses beginning with C, D or E (precluding their exclusive use for this purpose). This address can be assigned to several channels at one time so they can be managed as a group
while also maintaining individual control. The choice of address is linked to selection of the Alternative Address Parameter with the same name. When a command is received with an alternative address, the
channel involved sends the same received command, replacing the address with the one that directly identifies the logic channel (thus ensuring that the required switching is performed and aligning the transmitter
light signals, the supervisor icons and any other transmitters programmed with the same address).
