Product and function description
The RL 260/23 binary input is a KNX device with four
binary input channels. The device is installed in an
AP 118 Control Module Box or an AP 641 Room Control
Box. The bus is connected via a bus terminal block. The
device electronics are supplied via the bus voltage.
The device enables both statuses (contact is opened or
closed respectively voltage is applied or not) and changes
in status (contact is being opened or closed respectively
voltage is rising or falling) to be recorded, as well as
voltage impulses. It can therefore be used, for example,
to monitor voltages, to record circuit or operating states
(whether a miniature circuit-breaker or a residual-current
circuit-breaker has been released, a plant is switched on
or off, a malfunction or an alarm is being signalled), to
record the change of status when switching on or switch-
ing off a voltage (whether a switch or a pushbutton was
activated, whether it was activated for a shorter or
longer period, whether the voltage was switched on or
off due to the activation) and to record and count volt-
age pulses with a minimum voltage on-time of 110 ms
and a max. pulse succession of up to 4 pulses per sec-
ond, without or with monitoring of the number of pulses
counted until a predetermined threshold has been
reached or exceeded.
The RL 260/23 binary input supports a multitude of appli-
cations and enables one of the following functions to be
assigned to every input:
- Switching status / binary value transmission
- Switching, edge-triggered
- Switching, short / long operation
- 1-button dimming
- 1-button solar protection control
- 1-button group control (sequence control)
- 1-bit Scene control
- 8-bit Scene control
- 8-bit value, edge-triggered
- 8-bit value, short / long operation
- 16-bit floating point value, edge-triggered
- 16-bit floating point value, short / long operation
- 8-bit pulse counting without threshold check
- 8-bit pulse counting with threshold check
- 16-bit pulse counting without threshold check
- 16-bit pulse counting with threshold check
- 32-bit pulse counting without threshold check
- 32-bit pulse counting with threshold check.
Two consecutive channels (A and B resp. C and D) that
were configured as a pair of inputs can be configured for
one of these functions:
- Dual-button dimming with stop telegram
- Dual-button control of solar protection
The device is configured and commissioned with the ETS
(Engineering Tool Software) version ETS3 v3.0f or later.
Application programs
The UP 510/03 Binary output (relay) needs the applica-
tion program
"07 B0 S4 On-off-toggle/Dim/Shu/Value/Cycl 983101".
