Frequently Asked Questions

  • When uploading the data, a module always displays Err.255 (Module not found)

    If Err.255 appears during the programming or verification of a module, this can have several causes:

    First, verify whether the serial number was correctly entered as shown on the sticker on the module or its packaging. A serial number always consists of 6 digits or 10 hexadecimal characters (e.g., 0006B01ADE), with the first 4 determining the module type.

    Conduct a test through “Utilities/Communication Check”. Enter the last 6 digits of the serial number here and click on “Start Module Test”. If communication with this module is perfect, you should see a nice flat line at 100%. If you see a flat low line, there is no communication. If the line is pulsed, communication is poor. Check whether the bus voltage (+/- 14V) is still correctly reaching the module or check the wiring. Try communicating with the module directly at the controller with 2 short bus wires (without any other connected module) before returning it via our RMA procedure.

    Several modules can transmit their serial number:

    • All SWC variants can be searched via “File/Modules/Search for modules”. After clicking “Start search”, all connected switches will blink blue. Pressing any key on the switch will transmit its serial number.
    • All modules with a 10-character serial number can be read via “Utilities/Communication Check” if 1 and only 1 module of this new type is connected to the bus, by entering “FFFFFF” as a serial number.
  • How do you read an existing configuration?

    This is a completely different procedure depending on the type of controller.

    • For the CTD controllers this goes as follows:

    In the SMIII via "File" or "Utilities / Setup / SD card", click on "Recover QDB from SD".

    After confirmation you choose the name and location where the file should be saved. The zipped QDB file is then read from the SD card of the CTD and saved. With a positive answer to the question "Unzip and open restored QDB?", All data will then be immediately available. If the data you were still working on was not sent or saved, you will first receive a notification to do so.

     

    • For a CTL controller follow the following procedure:

    Because this controller does not yet have a large memory, only limited data can be recovered. Ao the names are abbreviated to 12 characters and serial numbers are not stored anywhere.

    The first step is therefore to type in ALL serial numbers via SMII via "File / Modules". These 6-digit serial numbers can be found on every module (DIN rail, switch, detector, etc.). For the SWC0x switches, an extra option was provided to have them send their serial number via “Search for modules”.

    When you then click on the "down arrow", you can read all this limited information.

  • Always use the latest software for configuration.

    It is always recommended to use the most recent version. This version supports the newest modules and resolves all known bugs.

    If, for example, you enter a serial number and the correct module information does not appear, you are likely not working with the most recent software.

    A newer version will always be able to open the older files (.QDB) without data loss.

    The latest version of the System Manager software, along with the user manual and version history, can be found in the knowledge center.

Control

Operations via Qbus Control

  • Dimmer
    • Qbus Control Dimmer Uit
    • Qbus Control Dimmer Aan

    You can turn the outputs of this module ON or OFF via Qbus Control using the buttons at the bottom.

    By swiping up or down, you can change the status to a value between 0 and 100%.

    With the chart icon in the top right corner, you can view the historical data.

    • Qbus Control Dimmer 30d
    • Qbus Control Dimmer 24h
    • Qbus Control Dimmer 7d
    • 24 hours: Here you can see the status of this I/O for the last 24 hours.
    • 7 days: Here you can see the status of this I/O for the last 7 days. You can also immediately see which day this output was on for the longest and shortest time. By tapping on a day, you can see in detail how long this output was on.
    • 30 days: Here you can see the status of this I/O for the last 30 days. You can also immediately see which day this output was on for the longest and shortest time. By tapping on a day, you can see in detail how long this output was on.

Technical info for installers

  • Function description

    Module suitable for controlling a single dimmer or motor with an analog input of 0-10V or 1-10V (can be determined via the System Manager Software). The ANA01 is connected decentrally to the bus and powered by the bus. The module has 4 wires, two yellow for the bus connection (no polarity) and a blue (-) and red (+) wire for connection to the dimmer.  A magnetic separation between the bus and the output ensures safe operation. 

    The ANA01 can be used in dimmer mode or HVAC mode (for controlling 1-10V valves or motors). Control and programming are conducted in the same way as with a DIM04 dimmer module.  

    If a button is held, the transition time from zero to maximum is 5.1 seconds. By briefly pressing the button (< 0.3 sec), the dimmer will go from zero to maximum in 2.5 seconds. A minimum and maximum voltage can be set via the System Manager.

    Each module has a unique serial number (6 digits). Based on this serial number, the module can be programmed via the Qbus software.
