2.1 Applic tion Functions Overview
The MSAxxyy-CMA ETS™' application provides the interface to individually configure each of the pair
of channels on the products MSAxxyy-CM with one of the following functions:
• Lighting;
• Shutters and Blinds.
Depending on the function set to each channel, the respective possible configurations and possible
available Communication Objects (COs) vary.
When configured to Lighting each of the switches (relays) is one channel, what means that one switch
can preforme the “On” and “Off” operation over a light (or group of lights under the same control).
However, when configured to Shutter and linds, in order to control “Up” and “Down” movements it
takes two switches (relays), one the activates the “Up” movement and other that activates the “Down”
movement.

3 GETTING STARTED
3.1 Connecting for the first time
After connecting the MSAxxyy/CM device for the first time to the KNX/EIB bus, the user will see the
LEDs opening and closing preforming a circular sequence. This behavior means that the device hasn't
been loaded with a valid ETS™' application yet. The same behavior may be observed when an invalid
application is loaded into the device.
While signalising no application loaded, the device can be manually operated by pressing the Manual
Mode button and by pressing any of the channels' buttons. However, in this mode a couple of channels (1
and 2, 3 and 4, 5 and , ...) cannot not be both “On” at the same time. This is a characteristic of the
device for avoiding unintended short-circuit of shutters and blinds devices; if one of the relays from the
pair is closed and the other is asked to close, the device will first open the first and then proceed to close
the one that as been requested2.
3.2 Downlo ding pplic tion with ETS™
If it's the first time that the device will be programmed, you must define the Individual Address via
ETS™ interface. You must also press the programming button on the device for allowing ETS™ to
identify the target device. You will know that the device is in programming mode when the programming
LED turns on. During programming process the programming LED and the programming mode will
automatically turn off.
The Individual Address is normally written once, however if it's necessary to re-write the Individual
Address, the programming button must be pressed.
Once the device has its Individual Address, the device can be configured according to the project needs
using ETS™ application, selecting “Download Application”.
2 The minimum gap (both remain “Off” before turning “On” the requested channel) is of 40ms.

4 DETAILED FUNCTIONS DESCRIPTION
In this section all the functions will be introduced and explained in detail, as well as explained the ETS™
Product Database usage. This information should be enough for the installer to understand the device
operation in any of the functions and to configure it with the ETS™ database.
4.1 Gener l Configur tion
In ETS™, when the general page is selected an environment similar with the one in Figure 1 shall be
displayed. Here it's possible to configure some parameters that will affect all the system. All the
parameters are explained in the Table 3.

It's convenient to explain in more detail some of the parameters present in the General configurations'
page. The “Use Time Limited Manual mode?” if set to “No”, once the device enters in Manual Mode
by pressing Manual Mode button or by sending message via “Maintenance Mode” CO it will leave
that mode just by pressing again the Manual Mode button or be sending message to the CO. However, if
the parameter is set to “Yes” the parameter “Duration” is shown; When the device is set to Manual Mode
via Manual Mode button or via CO it will leave this mode if the amount of time set in “Duration”
parameter expires or if Manual Mode button is again pressed or message is sent to the “Maintenance
Mode” CO.
The parameter “Send Status Ind. In Manual mode?” when set to “Yes” will allow the device to, when
in Manual Mode, send the channels status to the bus (all the incoming messages to device will still be
ignored). When set to “No” the device wont send the channels' status to the bus.
The “Manual Mode usage”, when configured to “Use” will make available one Communication Object:
[input] “General – Maintenance Mode”: Sending “True” sets the device to
maintenance mode.

4 Detailed Functions Description
With this communication object it's possible to set/unset the device to Manual Mode.
Depending on “Output [x] and [x+1] function” different configurations become available, depending on
if the pair of switches are configured to be 2 Lighting channels or 1 Shutter and Blinds channel.
4.2 Lighting Configur tions
Here are explained the configurations for each channel in case it is chosen to Lighting function. All the
channels working as Lighting have similar configurations. Whenever from the General configurations'
page a pair of channels is set to “Lighting” function, in the tabs list (left side) three new tabs per channel
will expand:
•O[x]: General
•O[x]: Measurements
•O[x]: Scenes
4.2.1 O[x]: Gener l
In this configuration page it's possible to make general configurations of the channel. The configuration
page is like the one presented in Figure 2. The respective detailed descriptions are presented in Table 4.
The Channel's general COs are:
[input] “On / Off”: Controls the output's status ;
[input] “Priority On / Off”: Makes higher priority control of the output's status;
[input] “Jamming”: Sending “True” makes the channel to enter in blocking mode;
[output] “Status ndication”: Informs the output's status.

4 Detailed Functions Description
Some of the parameters presented in Table 4 should get some more attention in order to fully understand
they functionalities and impacts on the system operation.
a) Timer
The related COs are:
[input] “Start / Stop Timer”: control of the timer;
[input] “Time Limited Toggle Switch”: control of the toggle switch timer;
[input] “Timer delay (seconds)”: for modifying the timer delay;
The “Use Timer?” parameter allows to activate the set of Timer and Time Limited Toggle Switch
functionalities.
The “Timer (default value)” parameter is where the delay time can be defined. This value can be
changed at run-time via CO if “Timer Delay change via Com. Obj.” is set to a value different than “Not
used”.
“Timer operation mode” if set to “On”, when a “Start” message is received the output switches On and
switches Off once delay time is elapsed (or timer is terminated); if set to “Off”, when a “Start” message is
received the output switches Off and switches On once the delay time is elapsed (or timer is terminated).
The parameter “Allow timer interruption with Stop?” if set to “No”, when timer is running it wont be
stopped if a “Stop” message is received.
By setting “Consecutive presses multiply time (within 10s)?” to “Yes”, sending repeatedly n “Start”
messages (within 10 seconds after the first “Start” message) will cause the delay time to be multiplied per
n.
When “Allow timer reset?” is set to “Yes” receiving a “Start” message when timer is already running
will make it to be reset.
The parameter “Consecutive presses multiply time (within 10s)?” if set to “Yes”, in the first
10 seconds “ tart” messages will multiply the timer and not reset it, even if “Allow timer
reset?” is set to “Yes”.
The “Timer expiration Pre-Warning usage” parameter enables the possibility of being notified that the
timer will expire within a selectable amount of time (defined with “Timer expiration pre-warning”).
This notification can be done by toggling the output status during 1 seconds, or by sending a binary

4 Detailed Functions Description
(defined with “Pre-warning message type”) message via “Pre-Warning” CO or both. The Figure 3
suggests a possible time diagram for timer operation when “Timer (default value)” is set to T_d, “Timer
operation mode” is set to “On”, “Timer expiration Pre-Warning usage” is set to “Send message +
Invert output”, “Timer expiration pre-warning” is set to T_warn and “Pre-warning message type” is
“On”; here the timer is started due to a received “Start” message and runs until expiration.
Setting “Timer Delay change via Com. Obj.” defined if the timer delay can be changed at run-time via
CO, and which is the DPT of the CO with the time delay. The operation has immediate effect, meaning
that if the timer is running and a new time delay, smaller than the already elapsed time, is sent via
“Timer delay (seconds)” CO it will cause the timer to terminate; if the a larger value is sent then
the timer will expire just when the new value is reached. Also to be considered that the pre-warning will
occur (if active) even in the case the new value is closer to expiration than the defined value for pre-
warning; in Figure 4 it's shown a possible scenario that tries to illustrate the previous situation (the device
would be making use of “Timer Delay change via Com. Obj.” and “Timer expiration Pre-Warning
usage” set to “Send Message via Pre-Warning CO”).
