The screenshots show an example of the power of the UCM/KNX when used with a KNX Touchscreen, courtesy of Domotiks, our distributor in Spain 

The Comfort keypad can be simulated on the touchscreen allowing the user to enter their Comfort user code to arm and disarm the security system just like a real keypad!
The user code is the same as on Comfort. if the user changes the code, then the same code must be used on the KNX touchscreen. In other words KNX does not keep the user code, thus leading to greater security. Note: use 1 byte Datapoint Type  5.010 type in ETS  for the keypad keys

The security mode buttons Away, Night, day, Vacation can be used to arm the securty system, and the buttons also show the actual security mode, for example if Comfort was armed by another keypad to Night Mode, the Night mode button would show  as active.

Comfort\'s Date and Time can also be shown on the touchscreen
Comfort\'s Trouble conditions like AC Failure, Low Battery, RS485 Communications failure, Zone Trouble, Phone Line cut can be shown. The UCM/KNX allows Comfort\'s security conditions to be visible on the KNX Bus
Comfort alarm zone states, eg doors, windows, motion detectors, smoke alarms etc can be shown
It is even possible to bypass security zones on the touchscreen and show the bypass state
Technical alarms like Gas, Flood, Fire, CO2 can be monitored
The touchpanel seems to be the Gira Infoterminal Touch.
I believe it is but any KNX Touchscreen can be used in the same way
Comfort allows all alarm conditions to be viewed on the KNX bus. This is quite a unque capability
currently working on a project similar to this whereby a KNX touchscreen is integrated with comfort. Any programming reference/samples is available to refer to ??

thank you.
A typical cclx file is attached. You need Comfigurator 3 to open this. Look at the Modules Tab > UCM > UCM02 and see the KNX Properties, KNX to Comfort and Comfort to KNX
An example is available using the Jung Touchscreen

Let us know if you have any questions or problems

Please post on a new topic
Does anyone have other screenshot examples of touchsreen or visualisation with the Comfort alarm? we could show it on the forum
