    ® ABB i-bus Device technology 2.11 Assembly and installation ® ABB i-bus Switch Actuators are modular installation devices for installation in the distribution board on 35 mm EN 60 715 mounting rails. The mounting position can be selected as required. The electrical connection is implemented using screw terminals. The connection to the bus is implemented using the supplied bus connection terminal.
  • Page 45 ® ABB i-bus Device technology Supplied state The device is supplied with the physical address 15.15.255. The application program is preloaded. It is therefore only necessary to load group addresses and parameters during commissioning. However, the complete application program can be reloaded if required. Downloads may take longer after a change of application program, a discharge or an aborted download.

Current detection The current detection feature opens many new fields of application for the Switch Actuators. The following list contains a few examples: •...
  • Page 139 ® ABB i-bus Planning and application 4.1.1 Threshold
function with current detection The current detection function features two independent thresholds. The detected current value will fluctuate by about 20 mA due to the necessary analog/digital conversion of the detected load current. To avoid a continuous change of the threshold value state, the thresholds for current recognition feature a hysteresis function.
  • Page 140 ® ABB i-bus Planning and application 4.1.2 Operating state displays A Switch Actuator with current detection is designed for recording and displaying operating states of electrical loads. The operating state is detected indirectly via the load current. If the load current exceeds a threshold, an ON telegram is sent via the bus, if the value drops below the threshold, an OFF telegram is issued.
  • Page 141 ® ABB i-bus Planning and application 4.1.3 Recording operating hours With the help of current detection in the Switch Actuator and a separate meter or counter element, it is possible to record, signal and display the actual electrical operating hours of electrical loads. This function can be used in facility management or for preventative maintenance and service planning.

  • Page 145 ® ABB i-bus Planning and application Example If both communication objects Logical connection x are activated, a telegram received via communication object Switch is connected to them. The result of this action serves as the input signal for the Time function. If this is not disabled, a corresponding switch signal is generated, e.g. delay or flashing.
  • Page 146 ® ABB i-bus Planning and application Warning The additional Warning function enables the user to be warned in good time before the staircase lighting time elapses. The warning can be carried out by switching the output on/off briefly or by sending a communication object.
  • Page 147 ® ABB i-bus Planning and application Retriggering Via “pumping up” – actuation of the push button several times in succession – the user can adapt the staircase lighting to current needs. The maximum duration of the staircase lighting time can be set in the parameters.
  • Page 148 ® ABB i-bus Planning and application 4.2.2.2 ON/OFF delay The ON/OFF delay delays output switch-on or switch-off. The delay time T or T starts after a switch telegram, and after it has elapsed, the output executes the switch telegram. If a new ON telegram with the value 1 is received during the switching ON delay, the ON delay time starts again.
  • Page 149 ® ABB i-bus Planning and application 4.2.2.3 Flashing The output can flash, i.e. switch on and off periodically. The switch on time (T ) and switch off time (T ) during flashing can be parameterized. Please note The contact life of the contacts should be considered and can be found in the technical data. Limiting the number of switching operations with the parameter Number of ON impulses may be useful.

  • Page 156 ® ABB i-bus Planning and application 4.2.6 Threshold function The Threshold function monitors a 1 or 2 byte value. As soon as a threshold is undershot or overshot, the output can be switched. The threshold values can be interpreted as hysteresis values: Threshold values are hysteresis values When the value exceeds the upper threshold or falls below the lower threshold, the output is switched.
  • Page 157 ® ABB i-bus Planning and application Threshold values are not hysteresis values The output is switched when any threshold is undershot or overshot. Please note If the communication object Threshold receives a value that does not overshoot or undershoot the old value, no switching action is triggered.
