Groups

All groups are displayed simultaneously in one table. 200 groups are possible.

Each group can additionally be assigned to one of 10 areas.

Area assignments are helpful when certain groups are to be disabled, as long as they are not activated via push buttons or schedules.

Group	Display of the group designation; changeable in the dialog.
Maintenance	Display in red if the maintenance mode is active. This overrides all other group commands. In this mode a group can be switched on or off and dimmed via a slider. For test purposes or for overriding in case of error (e.g. sensor is no longer triggered).
Occupancy	Display of the current group presence in green. At least one sensor in the group detects a person.
Overrun time 1	Display in green if the first overrun time is active. The current overrun time is displayed in the group dialog.
Overrun time 2	Display in green if the second overrun time is active. The current overrun time is displayed in the group dialog.
Push buttons	Display in green if the group has been switched via a push button or via manual mode. Manual mode (group, dialog or scene settings) overrides automatic mode.
Schedule	Display in green if a schedule is active.
Scene	Display in green when a scene overrides the group. The scene puts the group into manual mode.
Slave of groups	Display in green if the group is addressed by another group. The value is switched to the basic value if no higher group requirement is pending. Also known as "swarm technology" or "light cone mode".
HCL dimming position	Display in green if the set value/setpoint is influenced by the HCL curve. In the HCL settings, different dimming settings can be selected for different times of day to influence the luminous intensity. This function can be enabled here. Not recommended in the case of groups without HCL.
Light value	Display of the current light value transmitted to the lamps. The value is displayed in Functional description.
Set value	The set value switches the light on at this fixed value as long as the group is directly requested. The value is displayed in Dali values, provided the control mode is active.
Basic value	The basic value is enabled via the 2nd overrun time or via the slave mode. The value is displayed in Dali values.
Setpoint	The setpoint specifies a value that the "Curr. brightness" should reach and maintain. The lamp value regulates itself in order to maintain the brightness.
Curr. brightness	The current brightness is formed from the mean value of all the sensors in the group. Like the setpoint, this value is to be regarded as having no unit and is not to be directly compared with Lux.
Overrun 1	The 1st overrun time specifies how long the lamps are held at their value without presence. If the time has expired, the 2nd overrun time is started and the lamps are set to the basic value.
Overrun 2	The 2nd overrun time specifies how long the lamps are held at their basic value. If the time has expired, the lamps are switched off.
Disable settings	Disables global changes for this group. Global changes for the set values, basic values, setpoints, overrun times, etc. can be made on the Settings page.
Area	Each group can be assigned to one of 10 areas. The group is always activated if 0 is selected. As soon as a group has been assigned to an area, this group can only be switched on when the area has been activated beforehand via a push button or schedule.
Light mode
Fixed Control	The Fixed Control directly accepts the set value.
Daylight Control	The Daylight Control changes the lamp value in relation to the difference between the actual value and the setpoint. Daylight Control parameters can be changed in the settings.
Control mode
Sensor / push button / schedule	Switch-on takes place by sensor or push button or schedule. The status remains unchanged as long as a component is active.
Sensor + (push button / schedule)	Switch-on only takes place if the activation has taken place via the push button or a schedule and the sensor is also triggered.
Daylight Control	Always active in the "Daylight Control" mode. Activated via button/schedule in the "Fixed Control" mode. Presence always triggers. Useful with an area activation if only a light sensor without presence is available.
Fully automatic	The light switches on and off automatically via the sensor. If the light is operated or dimmed manually with the push button, the manual mode is retained until the overrun time without presence has elapsed. Schedules have no effect.
Semi-automatic	The light is switched on via the push button. The sensor only switches off automatically. If the light is operated or dimmed manually with the push button, the manual mode is retained until the overrun time without presence has elapsed. Schedules have no effect.
Manual push button	The light is switched on and off via the push button. Schedules have no effect. In Daylight Control mode the Daylight Control can be enabled/disabled via the push button.
Manual push button with overrun	The light is switched on and off via the push button. In addition, switching-off takes place on expiry of overrun time 1. Schedules have no effect. In Daylight Control mode the Daylight Control can be enabled/disabled via the push button.
Enable	Enables the group. Disabled groups are ignored and are invisible in the display.
