IHC Programming Capabilities in eConfigure
eConfigure lets you link IHC inputs to three different output technologies: IHC, KNX, and ZigBee. Each type of mapping uses the addressing method that best matches the target technology and ensures correct behavior, including LED indication on push buttons where required.
IHC Input → IHC Output
You can link any IHC input – push button, sensor, switch node – to an IHC output channel. This reproduces the classic IHC‑to‑IHC behavior from the original IHC controller.
How it works
-
eConfigure creates virtual group addresses for the logic between the input and the output.
-
These virtual groups allow the IHC Interface to exchange commands internally without relying on KNX or ZigBee addressing.
-
You use this mapping when both sides belong to the IHC system (e.g., IHC push-button controlling an IHC relay module).
Use case example:
-
A push-button connected to an IHC input module switches a lamp connected to an IHC output module.
IHC Input → KNX Output
You can connect any IHC input to a KNX output device. This allows you to reuse existing IHC push-buttons and sensors while replacing loads with KNX actuators.
How it works
-
eConfigure assigns KNX group addresses, just like any standard KNX mapping.
-
The IHC Interface sends KNX‑compatible telegrams through the Wiser for KNX controller.
-
LED indication on IHC push-buttons works, because the KNX feedback can be mapped back to the IHC input LED node.
Supported behavior:
-
Switching (toggle, on/off)
-
Dimming via KNX dimmer actuators
-
LED feedback on FUGA/OPUS push-buttons
Use case example:
-
IHC push-button controls a KNX DIN-rail dimmer channel.
