What should the value be in a counter when the \'brighten to 100%\' is written from the EIB Bus, the manual indicated the dec value should be \'9\' but when setting a Respose to act on this value nothing happens. The Stop Dimming and Dim by 100% are ok. Is there any easy way to read the value in a counter?
You can inquiry the value of counter by using Comfigurator\'s UCM I/O monitor.
First you need to enable this I/O monitor window to appear / pop up.
For Comfigurator 3.0.1, go to View menu and select \'UCM I/O Monitor\'.
Next, you need to log in. Click on the \'Login\' button located above the I/O monitor window and enter the user sign in code. Upon successful log in, the Command field will be enabled. Type in the following:
C?xx
where: xx is counter number in hexadecimal.
You will get a return like the following format:
C?xxvv
where: vv is the counter value in hexadecimal.
Hence you will know what is the actual value on that particular counter.
You send the relative dimming or brighten command eg 1 for Dim by 100%, 2 for Dim by 50%,... . using the response wizard. Brigthen by 100% increases the brightness by 100% but if the light is initially very dim, you may not see any effect of doubling the level
Thank you hendy thats a great help I will give that a try
Admin - Thanks for that info but I am looking to read the value written from the EIB bus to the counter. EIB/KNX has three commands for relative dimming, Dim up, Dim down and Stop Dim. I can find the values written to the counter from the EIB bus for Dim Up (1) and Stop Dim (0) but I cant find the value written to the counter for Dim down. I tried all the send value between 2 and 15 expecting 9 to work, without any luck.
What are the CT messages you see for each of the EIB commands that you send?
eg Brighten by 100% and other relative comands?
I will let you know when I return to the project next week
