Shutter Stop

I have shutter relays set to level translation and reed switch's on the doors.
Now I want to stop the blind if the reed switch opens, so in the Touch logic it sends 2% to the relay when reed opens.
Trouble is that it does not stop the blind just sends it to the 2% position.
What am I missing ?????

I would re-check the Level Translation option in the Shutter Relay UI, to be sure.

Since the 0-100% positions are mapped onto levels 0-255 it is possible that your device is sending out a command that is not exactly 2% (which is level 05/255). It may be sending out levels 04/255 or 06/255. A check using Diagnostic Utility will show this up.

Shutter relay set ok - see pic and logic is

{if reed switch open stop blind }
once (GetLightingState("XSec Family Door Reed") = OFF) then
SetCBusLevel("Local", "Shutters", "Family Blind Door", 2%, "0s");

I better what it really sends, at least I am doing what i should be sending, its not how it gets two the 2%, ie should it ramp to???

Ramp rate is ignored by the Shutter Relay, the command still works.

Bit of a technical problem, you can not connect Piced and the diag utility at same time.
If you connected Piced then try to connect the diag - get error pic 1.
If u connect diag then try to connect Piced get pic 2.

You can only have 1 connection to a C-Bus interface at any given time. If PICED or C-Gate is connected to your PCI/CNI then you cannot then connect another device to it.

 

Great so no off site testing till I get a C-touch or Pac.

Surfs up.

Shutter Relay Stop

Symptoms.
When a STOP command is send to a shutter relay the output device goes to 2% open, in my case the blinds go to 2% open from any position.
CIS Technical Services - Case Number: 00015945 Now Closed.

Problem.
Some devices connected to the shutter relay that have remotes – ie Somfy Blinds – require that BOTH the OPEN and CLOSE by ON for a second to perform a Stop function.

This makes the shutter relays unsuitable for these devices, assuming you want a Stop function.

Solution.
Go back to using two channels on normal relays.

If you are going to use mixed control of the blinds and the blinds support dry contact inputs then the best product to use is the L5108RELVP 8-channel ELV relay. No need to go to the expense of a 240v relay product. The Shutter Relay is really designed for use when it's controlling the blind motor directly.

 

Yep the low voltage relays will be the goer. The C-bus input comes in the box on left - says 0 volt etc.
Its only the blinds/windows etc that have remotes as well as C-bus control and were the user wants to stop them say half way.
If no remote and only full open/close it not a problem.
