2.3Structure&Handling

Theswitchactuators(here:AKI1216.01)containofonestatusLEDperchannel.ThisLEDindicates
thestateofthedependingoutput.Furthermoreeveryoutputcanbeswitchedmanual,independent
ofthecurrentparameterization.ThelinesAKSandAKIhavebuttonsforeverychannel.Incontrast
thelineoftheAKKhasonlyfourbuttons,independenttothenumberofchannels.Twobuttonsare
forchoosingthechannel,wherebythechosenchannelisindicatedbyaflashingstatusLED.The
buttonsupanddownareforswitchingthechannelonandoff.Theprogrammingbuttonactivates
theprogrammingfunction.AnactivatedprogramingfunctionisindicatedbyalitprogrammingLED.

Figure3:Overviewhardwaremoduleswitchactuator(e.g.AMI‐1216.01)
ThelinesAMSandAMIhavebistablerelays.Atthebistablerelaysthecurrentswitchingstatealso
staysincaseofabreakdownofthe230Vauxiliaryvoltageandatanupdateoftheparameterization.

2.4Functions

Allofthechannelshaveidenticalfunctions(havealookatthefunctionaloverview).Thenumbersof
channelsdependstothehardwaredesign,whichcanhave2,4,8,12or16channels.The
identificationisstandardlyinconsecutivealphabeticorder.
Thereare3differentstatesforeverychannelpossible:
notactive
Thechannelhasnofunction.Sotherearenocommunicationobjectsforthischannelshown.
Switch
Ifthechannelischosenasswitch,therewillbedifferentparameterizationoptionsfor
configuringtheswitchingprocess.
Staircase
Now,thechannelcanbecomeastaircaselightfunction.Thisfunctioncausesanautomatic
switchoffofthechannelafteranadjustedtime.
