Copying and exchanging parameter settings

Note
The copy and exchange function for parameter settings of lighting groups is only possible if the target
and source lighting groups support the same functions.
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/A lighting groups. To keep the commissioning
work to the minimum possible, using the function Copy/exchange channels, parameter settings of a
lighting group can be copied or exchanged with freely selectable lighting groups. Optionally, the group
addresses can be retained, copied or deleted in the target lighting group.
Note
When the term channels is used in the ETS, this means inputs and/or outputs or groups. In order to
ensure that the ETS language generally applies for as many ABB i-bus
channels is used here.
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, all parameter settings of lighting group X can be copied to all other
lighting groups or to a special lighting group of the DLR/A. Thus the parameters for this lighting group must
not be set separately, which significantly shortens the commissioning time.
Note
The information for the calibration of the constant lighting 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 lighting control must be undertaken again.
