Copying and exchanging parameter settings

Note
The copy and exchange function for the parameter settings of lighting groups is only possible if the
target and source lighting groups support the same functions. A lighting group with programmable
additional function Light control, e.g. Lighting group 1, cannot be copied to another lighting group that
does not support the additional function Light control, e.g. Lighting group 9.
Parameterization of devices can take a lot of time, depending on the complexity of the application and the
number of device outputs, particularly in the case of DLR/S lighting groups. To keep commissioning work
to the minimum possible, using the Copy/Exchange channels function, parameter settings of an output can
be copied or exchanged to/with any output. Optionally, the group addresses can be retained, copied or
deleted in the target lighting group.
Note
When the term "channels" is used in ETS, it always means inputs and/or outputs or groups. To make
the language of ETS generally valid for as many ABB i-bus
used in this document.
The copying function of lighting groups is ideal, particularly with DALI Light Controllers, where several
lighting groups have the same parameter settings. For example, lighting in a room is frequently controlled
in an identical manner. In this case, the parameter settings of lighting group X can be copied to all the
other lighting groups or to a special lighting group of the DLR/S. Thus, the parameters for this lighting
group need not be set separately, which significantly shortens the commissioning time.
Note
The information for the calibration of the constant light control already performed for a lighting group
using the additional function Light control is not copied using the function described here. Calibration of
the constant light control must be performed again.
