ABB i-bus®EIB / KNX
The analog actuator converts measuring data received via EIB / KNX
telegrams into analog output signals. The analog output signals enable
heating, ventilation and air conditioning units to adapt their output values
to information received from the bus and thus to take part in control
processes.
Voltage signals: 0 ... 1 V DC
0 ... 10 V DC
Current signals: 0 ... 20 mA
4 ... 20 mA
The Analogue Actuator features four analogue outputs which can be
parameterised to a previously set format. Outputs which are not required
can be switched off. The output signals can be forced controlled.
The number of analogue outputs can be increased to 8 using the Analogue
Actuator Module AAM/S. When combined with the “Dimming” switch sensor
function the Analogue Actuator and the Analogue Actuator Module can be
used as an active control unit for dimming applications.
Note: The Analogue Actuator AA/S requires an external 24 V AC
voltage supply for operation. This voltage supply can also
simultaneously assume the supply of power to a connected
Analogue Actuator Module AAM/S.

The connection to the Analogue Actuator will by carried out via a 6-pole
system connector (supplied with the Analogue Actuator Module).
A maximum of one Analogue Actuator Module can be connected.
An Analogue Actuator Module can be replaced while the system is in opera-
tion (disconnect voltage supply from module!). After the replacement, the
Analogue Actuator makes a reset after approx. 25 s. This action reinitialises
all outputs of the Analogue Actuator and resets them to their original state.
Removal or addition of modules without adapting the project and
subsequent downloading into the Analogue Actuator is not permitted
as this will result in system malfunctions.

ABB i-bus®EIB / KNX
The Analogue Actuator is used to convert physical values (2 Byte) or
relative values (1 Byte) to analogue voltages (0 … 1 V, 0 … 10 V) or currents
(0 … 20 mA, 4 … 20 mA). In this manner for example, components for
cooling and air conditioning system such as valve drives for ventilation flaps
or other devices can be integrated into the EIB / KNX system.
The outputs are deactivated (“no function”) in the default setting. The
required voltage or current signal can be selected separately with the
“Signal Output X” parameter. As soon as the output is activated the ETS
indicates further parameters and communication objects. An active output
features the communication object “Input value” and a communication
object “Status”, and even further parameter communication objects which
are dependent on its parameters.
Both the parameter pages “Output X 1/2” and “Output X 2/2” belong to
every active output. The required input format (16 bit or 8 bit) and the
behaviour after a reset are defined on the first of both parameter pages.
8-bit values can be used by a large number of EIB / KNX devices. They
feature a limited resolution. 16-bit values feature a high resolution and
ensure very flexible adaption to the respective system functions. However,
they require more initial effort when setting the parameters.
The second parameter page enables the use of forced control objects
with higher priorities, time monitoring of the input objects and setting of a
dimming function using relative values (1-byte object).

For setting the input value range for 0 % or 100 % output value with 16-bit
input format.
If the 8-bit mode has been selected with the “Input format” parameter,
the input value range is determined:
Input value for 0 % output value 0
Input value for 100% output value 255
The function of the output corresponds in this case with the EIB / KNX
standard for dimming actuators.

Factor of input value
Options: – Input value * 0,01
– Input value * 0,1
– Input value * 1
– Input value * 10
– Input value * 100
With the three parameters “Input value for 0%”, “Input value for 100 %” and
“Factor of input value” the output curve of the actuator can be matched to
different input variables.
Both input values should be selected to ensure that the smallest possible
factor can cover the required range to assure the best possible internal
resolution.
Output value after initialisation in %
Options: – 0…100 (0)
Independent of the size of the input objects, the output value during an
initialisation is defined with this parameter, for example after reprogramming
or bus voltage failure.
Response to bus voltage failure
Options: – last value
– output value in %
If the supply voltage is present, the output can either retain the last value or
set the output to a new value with a bus voltage failure.
Output value in %: If this option is selected the parameter “Output value in
%” is displayed.
Output value in %:
Options: – 0…100 (0)
For setting the output value in % with bus voltage failure.
Response on return of bus voltage
Options: – no response
– state of initialization
– state as before bus voltage failure
When the bus voltage recovers the output can retain its current value,
apply the set initialisation value or can restore the state as before bus
voltage failure.
Input object request on new start
Options: – no
– yes
Yes: The output sends a read request to its sending group address.
The value which has been received is then set as the output value.

Forced control object 1
Forced control object 2
Options: – not existing
– forced control active at “1” telegram
– forced control active at “0” telegram
Both forced control objects enable the control of an output with a higher
priority than the 1-byte or 2-byte input object.
If this parameter is set to “not existing” the ETS will not display the
corresponding 1-bit object. If the object is used, this parameter will
determine at which object value forced control is active. If the forced
control object is deactivated, the output will assume the value in
accordance with the “Input value” object.
If both forced control objects are active, forced control object 1 has the
higher priority.
Forced control active at 1 or 0 telegram: The parameters “Output value in
case of forced control 1 or 2 in %” are displayed.
Output value with forced control 1 in %
Output value with forced control 2 in %
Options: – 0...100 (50)
This parameter determines the output value if the corresponding forced
control object is active.

Cyclical monitoring
Options: – no monitoring
– Input value
– Forced control
– Input value or forced control
The output can monitor the object “Input value” and / or the objects
“Forced control” on a time basis.
If an input telegram is not received in the time defined in the connection,
the output evaluates this as a fault. In this case the object “Alarm output …”
can send a telegram with the value 1, and the output assumes the
value which is set with the parameter “Output value after exceeding of the
monitoring time in %”.
Time factor for cyclical monitoring
Options: 1...255 (6)
This parameter determines the monitoring time of the output together with
the fixed time basis (basis = 10 s).
Output value after exceeding of the monitoring time in %
Options: 0…100 (0)
The output assumes the value parameterised here when the monitoring
time is exceeded.
Time between 2 of 255 dimming steps
Basis
Options: – 10 ms
– 100 ms
– 1 s
With this parameter the basis for the dimming speed which the output
uses is determined in 8-bit mode, if it is controlled via the 4-bit object, or if
the parameter “Response on reception of value” is set to the “dimming
approach” and the output has received a new input value.
Time between 2 of 255 dimming steps
Factor (1…255)
Options: – 1…255 (2)
With this parameter the factor for the dimming speed which the output uses
is determined in 8-bit mode, if it is controlled via the 4-bit object, or if the
following parameter is set to the “dimming approach” and the output has
received a new input value.
Response on reception of value
Options: – direct approach
– dimming approach
In dimming actuator mode the output can rapidly assume new 1-byte
values or assume them via a dimming speed.
