ABT 4.1.1 Central Lighting Function

Hi

I'm trying to make a central function for lighting that would react to a lighting button in ABT Pro. I've made this before and made it work. Should be simple enough, but something seems to be missing and I can't understand what.

Button is connected to the manual operation part of the central lighting application,
there is nothing I can connect under CenOpLgt application function (second part of the attatched image),
the lighting button is configured to switch values and works perfectly.

Thank you

 Hi,

can you check the central function identification number (Master)?

You can find it in the SSA of DXR.

I had similar problem, but only with OpMod central function.

In ABT Pro I configured central function with 125 number, but after download it was different from the one I configured.

It was like default value 48936212 or something like that.

Then I changed it to 125 in the online web and it worked for me.

You can also check hiden objects.

I hope it was helpful.

Hi

I'm trying to make a central function for lighting that would react to a lighting button in ABT Pro. I've made this before and made it work. Should be simple enough, but something seems to be missing and I can't understand what.

Hopefully someone will recognize the issue based on the description of the programming: 

The issue is that Central operation lighting command value doesn't react to the button's value and is always 'Undefined'. (first part of the attatched image)

Button is connected to the manual operation part of the central lighting application,
there is nothing I can connect under CenOpLgt application function (second part of the attatched image),
the lighting button is configured to switch values and works perfectly.

The controller I'm using is DXR2.E18 that has the latest firmware. I'm using

xWorks V6.1

ABT Site 4.1.1

DXR2 PXC3 Basic 03 HQ ABT Pro 4.1.1 SI library for the applications

also tried with TRA CET 02 V6.2 HQ ABT4.0 SI library.

I didn't find any examples of central lighting solutions in the 'Information System', but if they are elsewhere then please let me know.

Thank you

For each central function must added the members, this can be done online (very ugly job) or offline in the ABT Site in the section of the Central function and then select members.

Please read ABT Site online help for the detailed description. 

You should create a simple CF hierarchy (logical structure) and to add the CF to that.

Then the members are possible to add. After that the members will get the group number, in your case 900. 

The button for the the control of the lights via central function must placed under Basic Application function Manual operation (part of the CenLgtOp).

For more details about it, can you find the description in the ABT Pro or ABT Site Online help.

Hi

The hierarchy looks fine (Floor - Central function - CenOpLgt - CenOpLgtMst).

I have added one group member for testing, but since the central function won't even receive a value right now the group member wont as well.

I believe the button is correctly connected under the ManOp in CenOpLgt, but I've also attached an image to show it (second part of the image).
In the first part of the image 'Application function' part of the CenOpLgt can be seen again, but this time with hidden values shown.

I feel like I've done everything both of you suggested and read all I can from the 'Help' section of ABT.
If anyone has any other ideas then I'm all ears.

Thank you for responding.

Hi,

do you see, that the value of the object "CenOpLgtCmdv" is changing , when the button is activated? 

If not, did you checked the configuration parameter "EnRdcOp"?

If CenManOpLgt11 is the master in a hierarchy, parameter EnRdcOp must be set to 1:Yes. This step is required if it is unclear if lighting AFs are commanded directly and exclusively (in doubt: 1:Yes).

Please read the help for CenManOpLgt11.

Hi

Thank you! EnRdcOp was set to No. After setting it to Yes, CenOpLgtCmdv value changes along with the button value.
