1.3. Basic Setup
General description
The text window is for entering general information, eg name of user, date of configuration, reference to docu-
mentation, etc.
No. of channels
For selection of the number of channels desired in the system. The minimum is 8, the maximum is 128 in one
Dupline network.
Auto-start Dupline on short-circuit
In case of a short-circuit on Dupline, the Generator shuts down the Dupline signal. Under default conditions,
power-off followed by power-on needs to be performed to reset the Generator after removal of the short-cir-
cuit. However, if the "Auto-start Dupline on short-circuit" box is checked, then the Generator will automatically
start up the Dupline signal after removal of the short-circuit.
Enable automatic update of realtime status upon Config-download and System power-up
If this box is checked, the Generator will automatically set the correct status for realtime channels according
to the switch-time settings, provided that the actual Day of the week matches the internal Day of the week of
the Generator. Also, the Generator will only scan the switch times (ON or OFF) for that same day.
Enable Automatic Daylight saving. Central European Time standard
If this box is checked, the Generator will automatically change the time settings 2 times per year according to
the European standard for daylight savings.
Enable RTC Powerline Autocalibration
Selecting Auto-calibrate, will enable the internal Realtime clock to adjust its internal calibration against the
Mains-supply frequency. In most countries, the Mains-supply frequency is very accurate, and in that case an
improved accuracy on the Realtime clock can be achieved.
Syncronize Time to PC date and Time
If this button is activated when the Generator is connected to the PC, then the PC date and time will be trans-
ferred to the realtime clock of the Generator.

2.2.1. Blank channel (no function)
Description
The use of blank channels in Dupline is based on the circumstance that in- and output are independent of
each other. Since this object does not fulfill a function between in- and output, an input on the address con-
figured as blank function will be ineffective.
At the same time, it is possible to control the channel - and consequently the functions coded for the
address - either through the master function (see chapter 2.2.6) or as output of logic setups (see chapter 3). In
addition, a blank channel can be used as a monostable flag.
Parameters
None.
• Function: None
• Application: Activation of output channels through master functions or logic setups
• Insert with mouse (“Blank channel”)

2.2.2. The push-button function
Description
The push-button function - the most simple object of the Dupline Master Generator - makes it possible to
connect any type of push button switch and contact to the Dupline bus. With this function, outputs can indi-
rectly be controlled with logic functions.
In this function, the output follows the input signal: the output is activated as long as the input signal is ON
(inverted in Normally Closed function).

2.2.4. Timer/Recycler
Description
This object makes it possible to select between two modes of operation: timer and recycler. In both modes,
an input coded to the channel of the timer starts the functions, but the input can also be activated by a differ-
ent channel or flag.
Timer (with on-delay or off-delay)
The timer allows the setting of an on-delay and/or an off-delay. When an input coded to this channel is acti-
vated, the on-delay starts. After elapse of this delay, the Off time starts. The Off time stops after the set time, if
the input is released before expiry of the set time. If the input is not released, the output remains activated.
Recycler
If the recycler is activated by an input, the recycler continuously generates a square-wave signal. The output
is activated after the set on-delay period and de-activated after the set off-delay period. This process is
repeated, as long as the input or the additional trigger is ON.
Parameters
Depending on the options selected under Timer function, a number of parameters can be selected for Timer
and Recycler:
Timer (with on-delay or off-delay)
Configuration window for timer with on- or off-delay:
Parameter Description
Timer function Select the option On-Off delay, in order to use the Timer function
Activation by pulse Select this option to start the timer by means of a short impulse, eg through a
push button switch
On delay Enter the time (0 s to 99 h, 59 min, 59 s) which must pass before the channel is
activated
Off time Enter the time (0 s to 99 h, 59 min, 59 s) for which the channel should be activat-
ed
• Function: Timer or Recycler
• Application: Switching with on- or off-delay or recycler
• Activation by signal or impulse
• Activation by additional channel or flag
• Select with mouse “Timer” or short-cut key “T”

The on-delay tEstarts shortly after the input signal at time t1. After elapse of the delay, the On-time tNstarts.
After elapse of the On-time (t3), the output switches off again. To achieve this, the input must be reset before
time t3.
Parameter Description
Enabled by address Entering of an additional channel (A1..P8) or flag (W1..Z8) which will also enable
the timer function. To prevent locking, the channel assigned to the timer itself
must not be used.
If the additional signal is an impulse, select the option Activation by pulse.
Recycler

Application Example
Task: A fan in a bathroom is to start 5 min after the light has been switched on and run for 10 min.
Solution: The lighting is activated by a push button connected to a sensor module (for example a univer-
sal input module) and configured for address A1 as a toggle switch function. An output of a
relay module is assigned the same address and activates the lighting. A second channel A2 is
configured as Timer and activated by the above-mentioned push button. An additional channel
of the output module is also assigned the address A2 and activates the fan.
Recycler
The impulse is generated shortly after the input has switched on at time t1. A pulse cycle consists of the On-
time tEand the Off-time tA. When the input is switched off, the pulse cycle also ends.
