Description of application and parametersApplication "General functions"Product manual 2CKA001473B9679 │30711.9.5 Application - GateThe application allows specific signals to be filtered and the signal flow to be temporarilyblocked.The following communication objects are available:■ "GFx: input“■ "GFx: output"■ "GFx: control input" (1-bit object)The objects "GFx: input" and "GFx: output" can take on different sizes (1 bit - 4 byte, dependingon the object type selected).The bit sizes of objects "GFx: input" and "GFx: output" can be collectively adjusted for thedifferent applications.The bit size can be freely assigned with the "Not assigned" setting of the "Object type"parameter. This means that the first internal or external group address or action that is assignedand already connected to an other communication object will specify the size.The control can occur from "Input to output" or also from "Output to input," provided the controlinput allows this. Enabling via the control input can take place via an On telegram or an Offtelegram.If, for example, the "Control input" setting is set on "ON telegram," only telegrams from the inputare transmitted to the output. The condition is that the control input has received an Ontelegram.It is also possible to block signals via the "Filter function" setting. Either "nothing is filtered out"or the signal "on is filtered out" or the signal "off is filtered out". This function is alwaysnecessary, for example, when only the On telegram is needed for a sensor and the device doesnot offer any filter function in its application program.NoteThe parameters for application "Gate" can be called up via general parametersand extended parameters.NoteThe number of the object (GF1 - GFx) depends on the channel used.11.9.5.1 Channel nameEntry: The parameter can be used to name the selected channel. The preset name "Channel" can bereplaced with any arbitrary name. The length of the name is limited to 30 characters.
