The UCM/USB topics have been moved to a new subforum of UCM in http://www.comfortforums.com/forum137/

This is so as to allow easy seraching for relevant topics

On the UCM/ETH03 there are 2 different processors;

1. the UCM Baseboard runs UCM firmware which handles the communication between the Comfort Rs485 Bus and the plug-in submodule which may be the ETH03, USB, or Rs232. The UCM firmware is the same for all 3 of these submodules. The submodules convert the serial data from the UCM to the appropriate hardware interface; USB, ETH03 and RS232. The UCM baseboard firmware is upgraded using Comfigurator. see http://www.comfortforums.com/forum92/3400.html for upgrading UCM instructions.
   
2. For USB and RS232 interface there is no processor on the submodule, as there is no formatting of the serial data. However for Eth03 interface, there is a processor to implement the TCP/IP stack, SNTP, and email functions. This processor firmware can be upgraded using Comfort Server Manager. see http://www.comfortforums.com/forum113/3820.html for upgrading instructions

When writing to EEPROM, error: \"UCM 2 is not a UCM/KNX2\" or other type of external UCM which has been installed
 
This is because the UCM used with Comfigurator is version 5.xxx

It needs to be upgraded to the latest version 7
However for version 5 UCM firmware you need to have another UCM to upgrade this ucm using the UCM programming cable
see http://www.comfortforums.com/forum4/1782.html


When it has been upgraded to UCM firmware version 7, then this UCM can be used to upgrade Comfort ansd the UCM/KNX2 without the programming cable, just use Comfigurator
If you do not have another UCM/USB or ETH03 perhaps you can borrow a UCM or ask  your Comfort distributor to to the upgrade for you

Hi,
Recently, I had some problems with UCM/KNX or UCM/KNX2.
When I try write to EEPROM, I have a error: \"UCM 2 is not a UCM/KNX2\". And when I try a second time I have a diferent error: \"Error writing configurator\".
If I try Read from EEPROM, I can but is isn\'t the configuration what I want.
How can I solve this problem?

Best regards,
Thanks.

Hello,
 
I have some issues with an existing Comfort II v5.054. Recently I have powered the system up and have researched the forums for possible solutions but have two existing issues.
 
1)[font=\"times new roman\"][size=\"1\"] [/size][size=\"3\"] [/size][/font]When I power up the system the comfort blocks the outgoing line to the phones in the house. I have checked the voltage at 50v on the tel in but on the tel out 0v. Bypassing the comfort restores the phone line to the home phones. In Configurator I have tried ignore line cut but this does nothing. Does this indicate that board may be faulty?
 
2) No voice at keypad. I tried vocab upgrade but It will not load. I read that voice chip U7 needs to be reprogrammed with CS-Xpress Is this still available or will I have to upgrade the firmware with MPU01 Module to use configurator.
 
Awaiting your response.

I\'m not sure if this is the correct area of the forum for this.

I have recently uploaded an amended configuration file. It seems to be working OK but the keypads have \'No text data download aborted\' on the screen.
If I reset the system and try to upload the file again  I get \' The wordlist selected is different from the vocabulary programmed in comfort. Do you wish to continue with the transfer?\'

I am using Comfort II Ultra v7.099, file system 34 vocabulary number 255 with no custom vocabulary. System and user vocabulary are shown as \'0\'. UCM is 10 version 7.076.

What do you recommend to fix this?

There are 256 Counters in Comfort Ultra. Each counter can have a value from 0 to 65535 (16 bits)

Counters can be used to count events

eg Zone Response
Increment Counter008
If Counter008 >= 3 Then
   Do Response Turn on Lights
   Set Counter008=0
EndIf

This will increment counter 8 whenever the zone is triggered, when the count reaches 3 it will  Do a Response to turn on selected lights, and reset the counter to 0

You can also Add a counter value or subtract a counter value

eg
Get Counter 5
Subtract Counter 6
Set Counter 7


This means Counter 5 - counter 6
The result is saved to another counter 7


Counters can also be used for Feedback in the Control Menu



Note that The Counter Menu does not need any words in OFF and ON action keys


In the Comfort App, counter as feedback will appear as a Slider

The slider positions correspond to counter values 0 for off (slider to the left) and 255 for full scale. the scale 0 to 255 corresponds to dimming levels for most lighting systems

We are currently writing in to Comfort control of some swish curtains we have, and this has prompted some questions about the use and design of responses:

1. If we write a response with the wizard which uses a CBus command, does that CBus command needs to be in a response in order to use the ‘Do’ command? If I was to edit the command manually would it be permissible to write: Do Cbus RampInst UCM03 23 0 after 15 seconds using curtain2 or some similar statement?
2. The curtains we are using have toggle logic built in. So we apply a voltage for ~10 seconds, this drives the motor till the curtains are closed. It senses the end of travel and stops the motor. The next time the power is applied to the motor the curtains travel in the opposite direction till fully open, and so on back and forth each time power is supplied for a period. The only way to keep track of curtain position is to have a flag change state each time, which can sometimes get out of synch. My question is would it be better to use the blinds function for this purpose as that is, I believe, stateful?
3. This code unbypasses before the curtains have stopped moving, thus setting off the alarm:

I may be going potty in my old age, but I\'m sure I remember a way controlling which events are included in the log file. I have searched throughout comfigurator but cannot find it. Am I dreaming?
