PT100 is a standard Platinum Resistance Sensor which has a resistance of 100 ohms at 0 degrees. The ISM09 has 4 connections ofr PT100 sensors. Each PT100 can be mapped to a Sensor Register, with the values  in degrees C.

ISM09 is supplied without PT100, as these can be obtained from many suppliers,
ISM09 also includes 4 Digital outputs

The advantage of this method of control is the ability of the mechanical  two way switch to control the light even if the Comfort or IRIO is not working, as conventional Electrical/switch wiring is used. 
The sensitivity of the current sensor can be set to High Sensitivity (for energy efficient lights like LED bulbs) or Low sensitivity for incandescent or halogen bulbs) in order to cater for all types of lights.

It looks like something on the Relay Sub board has let go, and created a small fire.I\'m not sure if the IRIO carrier board is damaged electrically. Its socket upstand is a bit melted. Both sub boards had their power leds on. 
So, the questions are:-should I expect this sort of failure ?-if I replace the boards what is to say it won\'t happen again ?-Would just the failure of a single sub-board cause it to report a comms failure, or is the main board damaged too ?[sub][/sub][sup][/sup]-Chiu do you want more info to investigate ?-is there any good will discount / replacement on this ?
I will attached some pictures in a moment (already written all this once to then fail on attachment and lose it all )

1. Fixed Dimmer to report counter.
   
2. Fixed bug -Blinds AC function\'s down relay fails to switch off.  This is if feedback counter is assigned and it affects submodule 2 only.
3. Fixed wrong input number reported, when Register Type is set to “Input” for “Digital Input”

New Features

1. For Blinds AC function, extend “ignore current sensing” duration from 250ms to 1000ms. This is to compensate for hardware slow detection of low current motors.
2. For Blinds AC function, LED is added to indicate current detection status.  The LED is turned on if current is detected.
3. Support new “Calibration offset” parameter of Temperature Sensor input function.
4. Input function Support of new “Virtual Input” register type, for various input functions.
5. Supports new ISM08  submodule functions.

Even with this filtering the value can jump above and below the set point many times before its dark enough (or light enough) to remain in the correct state. The value can change more than 10 points in either direction.


Would it be possible to have a better filtering option on the input that could maybe average the last X number of measured values? With X being a variable that could be set?
My current workaround is to set another flag (which only sets on the first cross of the threshold in a day) using a response attached to the sensor but I feel this isn\'t the most elegant solution as this response gets called almost continuously.

I\'m thinking that it would be great if say an IRIO with a pair of modules would work as a 4 or 8 channel two way switch module (so 2 or 4 per sub module,  depending on what fits).

If it were possible to din rail mount the IRIO too, then we could fit them in din cabinets in place of the other types of switching control modules. 

These  Imo are a big plus, as it removes the need for a ucm plus a controller for whatever the other technology is.]]>

1. Added Temperature Sensor Function function to submodules ISM01, ISM07. This requires an external TSM01 Thermistor and allows mapped sensor to rad the temperature.
   
2. Added Resistive Sensor Function to submodules ISM01, ISM07. This caters for any resistive type  sensor eg Light, Pressure etc to be mapped to sensor.
   
3. Added IR with Feedback Function to ISM03 Infrared submodule which uses  Current sensor as feedback for the IR controlled device
   
4. Current sensor function added Mapping to Sensor as additional to  Flag so the Sensor can be used to determine the current sensing level

IRIO without Submodules



IRIO with 2 submodules

What does the IRIO do?

The IRIO handles the automation functions in Comfort in  way that is easier to program and reduces wiring.  Instead of programming Responses and actions, Functions are selected, and mapped to Comfort registers like Flags, Counters and Sensors. For example, the Heating or Cooling function works by assigning the setpoint to a Counter and temperature to a Sensor Register. Putting a value into a Counter  changes the setpoint, and comparing the temperature in the sensor register allows the IRIO to decide whether to turn on the heating/cooling relay.
The function is mapped to a Comfort Flag, so that setting the flag will enable the function and clearing the flag disables it. The temperature can be obtained by  the ISM01 or ISM07 with temperature sensor or other means, eg via KNX, Cbus or the TSM01 Temperature Sensor Module

For example, the ISM04 TWS subModule for control of lighting two way switches reduces wiring as it is not necessary to connect Inputs and outputs to Comfort. This submodule allows the current threshold t be adjusted so that it is able to handle all different lighting loads including very low current LED lighting down to 1 watt.

The ISM05 Blinds submodule controls a Blinds motor without needing a separate Blinds controller.  It is able to move the blinds up and down as well as position the blinds anywhere with the help of a built-in current sensor.


Submodules
Each IRIO can accept two  submodules from the list below;

• ISM01 Digital I/O submodule (4 Digital outputs, 4 digital Inputs)
  
• ISM02 Digital Outputs/Analog Inputs submodule *(4 digital Outputs, 4 Analog Inputs)
  
• ISM03 IR submodule with current sensor Inputs (4 IR Outputs, 4 Current Sensor Inputs)
  
• ISM04 Two Way Switch (2 Two way switch Controls) - Not available yet
  
• ISM05 Blinds submodule (2 Blinds Controls) - Not available yet
  
• ISM06 NO/NC relay submodule (4 Relays with NO/NC)
  
• ISM07 Relay I/O submodule (4 Relays, 4 digital Inputs)
  

Note that the submodules are not included in IRIO. They are ordered separately depending on the requirements.


The IRIO baseboard comes with 2 programmable analog outputs (0-10V) for dimming and control which are available without any submodule.


Functions
Each Submodule  supports pre-defined Output and Input functions

Output functions include;

• On/Off
• Heating/Cooling
• 2 way/3 way HVAC fan
• Air-con Interface by relays
  
• IR signal
• IR with Feedback
  
• TWS (Two way switch)
• Blinds
• Analog Output
  

Each Submodule has 2 to 4 Outputs

Input functions include;

• Digital
• Pulse count
• Current sensing
• Temperature Sensor
• Resistive Sensor
  
• Analog Input 0-10V

Submodules can have 0, 2, or 4 Inputs.

Each submodule can only select the appropriate Output and Input function that is applicable for the hardware. Only the applicable functions for each submodule can be selected by Comfigurator.

The UCM/Logic can be used as a Controller for IRIOs where an alarm system is not needed. The UCM/Logic has no alarm functions and has no Inputs or Outputs but has all the logic programming capabilities of Comfort as well as a plug in Ethernet interface (ETH03) or USB interface for programming and access by the Comfort apps
