Hi I am new to this forum. I recently installed basic cbus system for on/off lighting control comprising 3 off L5512RVFP relays, Ethernet Network Interface, and 1,2,4 button SlimlineSC2000 Wall Switches using cbus toolkit version 1.11.4 for programming I wish to: 1- program 1 button to switch all lights off 2- nominate button to switch 2 lighting applications simultaneously (ie 2 light circuits controlled fron 1 button) can yo please advise what?s required Thanks
Given the units in your install, the only way to do this is to use the Area Addressing feature of the relay units. On the Create a new Group Address called "Master Off" or something like that. On the Unit Identification tab of the relay units assign this group address to the Area Address parameter. In the Slimline Wall Switch UI choose the button you want to use and assign the "Master Off" group address to it. Select the Key Function as Preset 1 and set the level to 0%. With this configuration, all the outputs on the Relay units will turn off when that button on the Slimline Wall Switch is pressed. Set up this way, the indicators on the switches will turn off about 9 seconds after the relays turn off. If you want the indicators on the switches to turn off the moment the relay units turn off you can assign the Slimline Wall Switches to the same Area Address. I think you mean that you want to switch 2 Group Addresses simultaneously, not 2 Applications. Whether you can do this will depend upon how many resources you've got left in your Slimline switches. You need to go to the Blocks tab of the UI for the Slimline switches, assign the second Group Address to an unused block (if it's not in the list of blocks already) and then tick the box in the 'Keys Using Block' column so that the desired key can control both Group Addresses.
If you mean you want to control two relay (or dimmer) channels together, you can just set the two output channels to the same group address. That means that regardless of how you configure your switches, the two lighting circuits will always be linked.
