Recommended Engineering Workflow
The following engineering workflow is recommended
to optimize the functionality of the PL-Link flush-mount
room sensors:
1. The Design Engineer plans the system using the
ABT tool. The planning data for the entire project
are saved to the engineering data server.
2. The Electrical Installer installs the flush-mount
room sensor, peels off the address labels from the
devices and sticks them to a floor plan or similar
plan. The floor plan is then returned to the
Planning Engineer who uses the floor plan to
complete the planning data (assignment of room
sensor as per actual addresses in ABT).
3. The Design Engineer can now pre-configure the
DXR offline in ABT:
a. Add the required number of room sensors, the
KNX PL-Link bus of an automation station,
and the configuration dialog of the individual
room sensor.
b. Enter the KNX ID alphanumerically.
This configuration is then compiled into a Pack &
Go file for upload into the automation station at
the installation location.
4. The Design Engineer sends the Pack & Go file to
the Electrical Installer.
5. The Electrical Installer uploads this file into the
automation station and runs initial tests using the
SSA tool.
6. The Commissioning Engineer uses the planning
data and ABT to complete commissioning.
Commissioning
Prior to commissioning, all devices must be mounted
per the mounting instructions and connected to bus
wiring. If available, pushbuttons and external
temperature sensors must also be connected to the
device. Bus wiring must be tested.
For plug and play commissioning, the automation
station must be set up following the Recommended
Engineering Workflow.
The automation station is powered and connected to
the bus. The room sensors are disconnected from
power.
• Apply power to all room sensors (concurrently or
by device).
• The automation station and room sensor(s)
register and assign the addresses. Configuration
data is transmitted from the controller to the room
sensors.
• (Optional) Test the connection using medium-long
pushbutton actuation (> 2 s and < 20 s).
Installation is now complete.
