Actuators: Addresses and types of controls
In order to understand the addressing logic, it is appropriate to
define some of the terms that occur regularly in the text.
Room (A)
Set of devices belonging to a logic zone (in a home, for example,
the living room, the bedroom, etc.).
Light Point (PL)
Numeric identification of the single actuator inside the Room.
Group (G)
Set of devices that may also belong to different rooms, but which
must be controlled at the same time (e.g. the rolling shutters
of the North side of the home, the lighting of the day time area,
etc.).
Actuators address
The address of each actuator is univocally defined assigning the
numeric configurators 1-9 in the A (Room) and PL (Light Point
inside the Room) positions.
For each room, it will be possible to define up to 9 addresses; in a
system it will be possible to define up to 9 rooms.
The definition of the group the room belongs to is ensured by
fitting a third numeric configurator in the housing identified with
G (Group).
Some actuators have several G (G1, G2 and G3) positions, as they
may belong to several groups at the same time.
Example: The actuator configured with A=1, PL=3 and G=4 is
device No. 3 of area 1, belonging to group 4.
A system may manage up to 9 room addresses. For each area it will be possible to manage up to 9
addresses for each actuator. To these addresses, any associations to one or more groups are also
added.
