Basic concepts
2. Basic concepts.
This chapter explains some fundamentally important concepts that are necessary for correctly making full use of
the system.
Note.
Some of the examples contain references to the device codes; for more information, please refer to the instruction
sheet for the product concerned.
•Functional unit: part of a device that can be considered as if it were a separate device. Some examples:
1. Device with one functional unit: the functional unit is equivalent to the device itself, for example actuator with
transfer relay output 16 A 250 V~ (Eikon 20535 series; Idea 16975; Plana 14535).
2. Device with two functional units: in the interface for conventional controls (Eikon 20515 series; Idea 16955
series; Plana 14515 series) each of the two inputs is a functional unit.
3. Device with three functional units: in the control appliance with two toggle switches and actuator (Eikon
20526 series; Idea 16966; Plana 14526 series) there are three functional units: left toggle switch, right toggle
switch and actuator; for user and configuration purposes, there are therefore 3 separate devices.
4. Device with four functional units: in the control appliance with three toggle switches and actuator (Eikon
20547 series; Idea 16987; Plana 14547 series) there are four functional units: left toggle switch, middle
toggle switch, right toggle switch and actuator; for user and configuration purposes, there are therefore
4 separate devices. Another example is the device with 4 changeover relays (art.01851 for installation on
EN50022 rails) where each output is a functional unit.
Note.
Difference between a toggle switch and simple
push-button: a toggle switch can can be pushed
pushed up or down, a simple push-button can only
be pushed down.
During the design phase, each functional unit of
any device must be considered as though it were a
separate device. It is therefore necessary, during the
design phase, to plan the functions to be performed
and only then make a list of the devices needed to
perform these functions.
The diagram opposite shows the functional units of a
control device with three simple push-buttons and an
actuator (Eikon 20545 series; Idea 16985 series; Plana
14545 series).

Basic concepts
For example, during installation, the actuator could be used to control load A through the push-button of another
device, the left push-button to control load B through an actuator, the middle button to control load C through a
second actuator and the right button to control load D through a third actuator.
There are no limits on the use of the functional units of a physical device. When a load is to be controlled, it is
necessary to provide one control device and one actuator connected to the load.

IMPORTANT:
A Group must be made up only of homogeneous functional units: any one group cannot contain an
actuator for rolling shutters and an actuator to control the lighting of a lamp.

BUS line
• Connection: logic link between two functional units, which allows a function to be shared (for example: relay
actuator and push-button).
• Configuration: operation that can be used to create the logic connection between various functional units (of
various appliances).
• Functionalgroup(orGroup): set of functional units connected to each other logically, which perform a system
function (for example: three different push-buttons that control one actuator, and therefore the same load).
The devices that make up a functional group are connected to each other logically, not by conventional wiring.

To control the switching on of a load from different points, it is sufficient to add more functional units; it is not
necessary to modify the wiring.

Actuators are of group depth 2 since they both belong to two groups.

• Scenario: a scenario is an exact positioning of the actuators in one or more functional groups that can be called
up as preferred from a menu on the control panel or with a button configured for this purpose or with the infrared
remote control 01849. For example, the rolling shutters could be lowered and a lamp lit in the room at the same
time. A scenario can also be activated with the programs that can be configured via the Events menu or remotely
with the GSM communicator.
• Parameters:thesecanbesetatthecontrolunit,andareusedtomodifyandcustomizetheoperationofeach
functional unit. For example, the relay actuator (Eikon 20535 series, Idea 16757 series; Plana 14535 series),
during configuration, behaves as a two-position stable relay. However, it can be configured as a one-position
stable relay; in this case, the deactivation time must also be defined.
• Line: any set of devices.
• Scenario depth: number of scenarios to which a group can belong. Each functional group can belong to a
maximum of 4 different scenarios.
• Bus line: equipment used to carry the electrical or electromagnetic signals associated with the messages
between the system devices.
• Bus system: set of devices and their interconnections creating applications by using a common communications
framework.
• Command:functionalunitthatsendscommandsand/orstatusesoverthebusline.
• Actuator: functional unit that receives commands and/or statuses from the bus line in order to carry out a
predetermined action.
The system in general is made up of three main families of functional unit:
• Controls(forexample,push-buttons,sensorsandinfraredremotecontrols)
• Actuators(forexample,relaysandregulators)
• Controllers(forexample,thecontrolunit)
Basic concepts

11
Each line can be composed of at most 128 devices and needs one or two power supplies depending on
the number of devices and the length of the bus.
Using line couplers, a number of lines can be connected to each other, up to a maximum of 15 areas x 15
lines; the line couplers allow only authorized messages to pass between one line and another.
On each By-me control panel it is possible to configure up to 254 devices (194 automation devices and 60
intrusion detection alarm system devices).
System configuration starts with the creation of functional groups (it is better to think in terms of functional
groups rather than individual devices), which is the only operation strictly necessary for the system to
function. During the installation phase, the first operation is therefore to assume the functions that are to
be made available.
Subsequent operations, such as placing a number of units together in one scenario or setting a number of
automatedfunctions,shouldbetreatedasasystemcustomizationorastheuseofadvancedfunctions.
After the groups have been created, the control panel no longer has any part to play in the way they operate; the
devices and related functional groups are “connected” to each other and do not require any intervention by the
control panel (the control panel is still needed, however, for managing editing functions, climate control automation
and automation programmes).
Basic concepts
In the event of a power failure, when the mains power returns, the actuators will keep their status prior to the event.
Following a Reset applied to an actuator, instead, the actuator will go back to opening the contact (applies both to
relay actuators and roller shutter actuators).
Note: If the By-me system is composed of both the automation system and the intrusion detection alarm system,
always use two power supplies 01801.

Installation topology
3. Installation topology.
The main characteristic of the By-me system is that all devices are connected to each other by a bus system cable
(pair) that supplies the devices with the power and the signals carrying the digital control and monitoring data.
Note.
The connecting cable, art. Vimar 01840, is the same as the one used in the burglar alarm bus system and Vimar
bus entrance control system.
Warning:
On a line where a control panel has already been configured (monitor 20550 + module 01960) it is not
possible to configure a second control panel (either Eikon 20550 + 01960 or the Eikon 2-module control
panels 20510 and 20480, Idea 16950 and 16930, Plana 14510 and 14480).
The system is configured through the control unit and the configuration buttons located on the devices.

If integrating the automation and intrusion detection alarm systems, refer to the intrusion detection alarm system
section in this manual that shows the connection diagram (see page 91); in this case the control panel must be
installed and configured in “Area 00 - Line 00” of the intrusion detection alarm system. The two automation and
intrusion detection alarm system lines must then be separated with a coupler 01845.
The input of the control panel composed of the monitor 20550 + module 01960 is equal to:
- 150 mA under conditions of normal operation;
- 30 mA in case of a mains power failure and power supply from the back-up unit 01804.14 (if there is also the intrusion
detection alarm system).

3.1 System content.
Each system must always be made up of at least the following devices:
• onecontrolpanel;
• onepowersupply01801;
• controldeviceswithorwithoutactuators;
• actuators,suchasrelaysorregulatorsforexample;
Module 01960 must be inserted in the compartment on the back of monitor 20550 in correspondence with the
connector bearing the words “CONTROL PANEL”.
You are recommended to do this without the devices being powered and checking that, after hooking up the
module with the monitor, the mechanical coupling is perfect (all the clamps must be properly tightened).

• Abuslinemustbesuppliedby1or2powersupplies01801.
Each line can be controlled by a single control panel and can be composed of at most 128 devices and
at most two power supplies, depending on the number of devices and the length of the connecting cable
(pair).

the terminals. Linear type connections (figure 3.2.1.1), star type connections (figure 3.2.1.2) or mixed
connections (figure 3.2.1.3) are possible (the rectangle in the figures represents the power supply). The
ideal configuration is the linear type with only one power supply in the middle of the system, or two power
supplies at the ends of the bus cable.

not have an intrusion detection alarm system, the maximum number of Automation devices that can be
configured in a control panel is 194 (including routers) divided over a number of lines; lastly bear in mind that
a line can have up to 2 power supplies 01801 (which can support up to a maximum input of 1.6 A on the
bus line).
• Itisessentialtoprotectthesystemfromtheeffectsoflightingusingsurgeprotectiondevices(SPD).
As a general rule, the power supply side must be protected using a Class 1 SPD downstream of the power
meter, a Class 2 SPD after the magneto-thermal protection device, and a Class 3 SPD at the power supply
input. If a telephone communicator is present, it is advisable also to install an SPD on the telephone line.
3.2.2 System setup.
During the design phase, it is essential to arrange for a switchboard with sufficient capacity to hold:
• conventionaldevices,magneto-thermalprotections,circuit-breakers,etc;

It is advisable to use a dedicate cable trough for the corrugated tubes that carry the Vimar 01840 cable for the
Bus line; however, the ones that carry the mains power cables can also be used.
