Show all Connections

Displays all the connections or assignments of all devices carried out in the Connection Mode as a

black connecting line.

Connections you selected before can be deleted or recalculated at any time by right-clicking the

assignment you want. In this case only this particular connection will be deleted or recalculated.

Should you wish to see the assignments of a particular device, you can display the connections of

this particular xComfort device by opening the Drop Down Menu of this device with the right

mouse-button and by selecting the item Connections.

Status-Verbindungen:

In this view all status connections of the project will be displayed.

A status connection is a back channel from an actuator that will send information about the output

status back to a connected intelligent device.

There are two different types of status connections:

- Old Status connections

- New Status connection/extended Status message

Old Status message:

General Information:

The old status message will be sent when an output status of any actuator of the old generation

changes (Switching actuator, Dimming actuator, Shutter actuator, Analog actuator). This old status

message will be sent to the first intelligent device in the actuator sensor list and cannot be routed

and is also not repeated by the actuator.

In earlier MRF versions the old Status message has only been sent by an actuator that was

connected to an intelligent device if there was at least a reception quality >0% between the two

devices (defined by the connection calculation in the MRF). Therefore it could have been possible

that actuators that were switched by an intelligent device by routing never sent their status back.

Since Version 2.30 the sending of the Status of an old actuator can be activated independent of

the reception quality using the option ‘Send old Status message’ in the configuration window of

each actuator. If deactivated the status message will not be sent like in earlier version when there

was no reception quality between the devices. When activated the status message will always be

sent. Per default this option is activated. The reason for this change is that new generation

actuators and Routers can resend the old status message and forward it to intelligent device if

there is no direct connection possible. The calculation of this special resend can be done either by

using the function ‚Calculate all connections‘, using the general function ‚Recalculate resenders of

old status connections‘ or right clicking a single status connection and selecting the option

‚Recalculate resenders of old status connections‘.
