The communication of these devices with the smart home controller is done via LAN or WLAN.
For further information about functionality, installation and configuration please refer to the
xComfort catalogue, the mounting instruction and the online help function of the Smart Home
Controller.
The communication to other xComfort components is done via the built-in RF module or over one
or more Ethernet-CI.
Making connections:
The connection to other xComfort devices is done using single data points.
If you draw a connection from a xComfort device to the Smart Home Controller the data point
window will pop up. You can enter the desired data point number for the assigned device. If you
connect multiple actuators to the same data point it will simply generate multiple entries for this
data point.
Create data point list:
Using the Popup-menu of the Smart Home Controller you can select the function “Create data
point list” to create a list of all connected devices for all data points.
You either have the option to save the list to a file or transfer it directly to the memory of the device
by RF.
Save as file:
The possibility to save the list as a file in the TXT- or the extended DPL-format. The
new DPL-format offers additional information about the Topology area of the connected devices as
well as the area names.
Download by RF:
The list will be downloaded in the extended format to the memory of the Smart
Home Controller for later use.
Details about the extended DPL-format can be found in the 3rd-party-documentaion.
