Channels and Links

Each device visible on your plan has black points called channels. You can set parameters of the channels to adjust behavior of your device.

You connect the devices or loads through their channels.

If connection is not possible, the channels are not compatible (there are no group objects in common).

You create the connection lines as follows:

1. Click the connection point of your load/device > hold the left mouse button > mark the other end of the connection line. The connection point turns blue if the connection is possible. It means there is at least one group object in common.

   NOTE: If you right-click on a connection point, you will see a list of available data points.

2. In the Link creation dialogue, select a preset among the compatible presets > click OK. For example, switching on/off, dimming brighter/darker, moving blind up/down.

Use multi-floor symbol in the upper left corner to link loads and devices across floors.

You have to have at least two floors created to use this feature.

Follow these steps:

1. Click the connection point of the device you want to connect with the left mouse button.

2. Hold the button and drag it over the multifloor icon in the top left corner.

3. Release the mouse button over the multifloor icon. A dialog box will appear where you can select the floor you want to access.

4. Select the desired floor and click OK.

5. On the selected floor, drag the mouse over the connection point of the device you want to connect. If the connection is available, the connection point will turn blue, and a pop-up will display the device’s name and functions.

6. Click the connection point with the left mouse button.

7. A Link Creation dialog window will appear. Select a preset from the compatible options to create the link (e.g., Switching On/Off, Dimming brighter/darker). You can skip this step by clicking Skip or confirm by clicking OK.

8. Once the devices are connected, a black multifloor icon will appear in the upper left corner of your floor plan. Click it to manage and edit group addresses on the right side of the screen (see more in Manage and Edit Group Addresses).
