Virtual Devices

Virtual devices are functions that do not represent physical devices or loads. You can drop and drag them into your project.

When you use Schedulers or Central commands, the software automatically adds a controller to your installation. This can be either the Wiser for KNX or spaceLYnk logic controllers.

Schedulers

All schedulers created in the eConfigure software are automatically available in the controller user interface.

Follow these steps to create and configure a scheduler:

Create a scheduler:
- Open eConfigure.
- Click Catalog, drag Scheduler, and drop it onto your floor plan.
- Click the Scheduler icon and set up the parameters in the Parameters tab on the right.
Return to unconfigured devices:
- After adding the scheduler, your configured controller will return to the list of unconfigured devices on the left side of the Upload tab.
Configure the controller:
- Navigate to the Upload tab.
- Configure your controller (see Controller Commissioning).
- Once configured, your controller will appear on the right side in the list of configured devices within the Upload tab.
Log in to the controller:
- Access your controller via a web browser.
- Click on Configurator.
- Select Schedulers.
- Choose your newly created scheduler from the list.
Create scheduler event:
- Follow the instructions in the controller user guide to create scheduler event. You can find the guide here.

Central Command

The Central command in eConfigure is designed to streamline the management of various functions and settings within your project. It serves several key purposes:

Automation: Central command allows you to automate tasks and processes, making it easier to manage multiple devices and functions without manual intervention.
Integration: It integrates with other components of your system, such as schedulers and controllers, ensuring that all parts of your installation work seamlessly together.

To set up Central command in your eConfigure project, follow these steps:

Create Central command:
- Launch the eConfigure software on your device.
- Click Catalog, drag Central command, and drop it onto your floor plan.
Define parameters:
- Set the parameters for your command, such as triggers (e.g., occupancy sensors, time schedules) and actions (e.g., turning on lights, adjusting temperature).
Integrate with devices:
- Ensure that your command is linked to the appropriate devices or systems (like lighting, HVAC, or security systems) within your project.
Test the command:
- After setting everything up, test the command to ensure it works as intended. Make adjustments if necessary.
