201Eaton RF-System

As you can the command from 1-fold pushbutton to Switching actuator 3 is routed by Switching

actuator 1 and switching actuator 2.

What is a group function?

If the same sensor is connected to more than one actuator we talk about a group function

procedure.

Based on the scanned reception quality a master of the switched group of actuators is determined.

The master has the assignment to acknowledge the command to the sensor. Every other group

member does not acknowledge the command, however they only know that they are part of the

group and repeats the command of the sensor identically. We call this behaviour “resend”. Now

not every member does this resend really. As a result of the reception quality of every group

member to each other the program decides which actuators should make a resend and which not.

So it is ensured that every member understands the command and executes it reliable.

Members of group function has to understand at least 1 other member of the group to take part in

a group function.
