02 Performance Features

02 Performance Features

The free@home system is a twisted-pair-based bus system for home automation. It enables the control and automation of lighting, heating, and blinds and also provides integration of the ABB -Welcome door communication system.

Control takes place on site using permanently installed control elements or mobile using a smartphone or tablet.

Performance features

Up to 64 devices can be installed in a system

(power supply is not included).

Functions are allocated only by software; i.e., if the use of a room changes in future, the function of the light switch can be easily changed, as well.

The following versions of devices are available:

No special software is required for commissioning. Configuration takes place using the available Internet browser of the computer, or the free free@home app for smartphones or tablets (Android/iOS).

System devices

» System Access Point

» Power supply

A free@home system is made up of the following devices:

» a System Access Point,

» a power supply,

» switches, sensors or other inputs for local operation,

» output devices, i.e. relays, for switching loads.

Input devices

» Switch

» Touchscreen

» Binary input

» Room thermostat

» Movement detector

Output devices (also named as actuators)

» Relay

» Universal dimmer

» Blind/ Shutter relay

» Electronic relay for valves

Input and output devices are each available in construction types flush-mounted, flush mounted pill and rail-

mounted (MDRC) and can be combined as required according to application.

The web-based user interface of the System Access Point can be called up and operated simultaneously by several participants (laptop and/or mobile devices with the free@home app). This can, depending on the changes made, lead to losses in performance (the changes take longer to implement). That is why it is recommended to operate the user interface with only 4 participants at the same time.

System Access Point and power supply

(Fig. 1)

The System Access Point offers the opportunity for accessing the free@home system with the PC or mobile devices. This allows the functions of the system to be programmed and remote controlled.

Each system requires a power supply. It uses the voltage required by the bus subscribers for supplying the bus communication part of the devices.

Decentralised or centralised installation of output devices (Fig. 2)

The free@home system offers both rail-mounted output devices for a centralised installation in the switch cabinet as well as input devices with an inbuilt output, named input/ output unit, for decentralised flush-mounted installation.

Both types of installation can be mixed within the system as desired.

Output units are also named as actuators

.

Advantages of the decentralised installation

» "All-in-one": Inputs and outputs are located in one device.

» Function does not need programming since input and output have been pre-configured.

» Usual manner of wiring of the 230 V line.

Advantages of the centralised installation

» Inexpensive channel price due to multiple output devices.

» Easy installation of the switch since only the bus line has to be connected.

Topology of line participants

The free@home system communicates via the data bus.

This means that each participant must be connected to the bus to be able to communicate with other participants.

Participants

Each free@home device, with the exception of the power supply, counts as one participant. Up to 64 participants can be connected to the bus.

Note:

The System Access Point also counts as a participant.

Line topology (Fig. 3)

The free@home bus line can be installed in almost any manner desired.

» Mixing the line topologies of linear, star and tree is permitted.

» Only rings must not be set up.

» No terminal resistors are required.

Lengths and distances of lines (Fig. 4)

» A - Max. lengths of lines: The lengths of lines within a line are limited to a total length of max. 1,000 m.

» B - The maximum distance between power supply and the last participant: max. 350 m.

» C - The maximum distance between two participants:

max. 700 m.

BUS line

The bus line leads to the participants.

» A KNX-certified bus line (J-Y(ST)Y 2x2x0.8) is to be used.

» Aside from the necessary physical characteristics

(number of wires, cross-section, insulating voltage, etc.) the bus line can be differentiated immediately from other low-current lines.

Planning of the System Access Point

The System Access Point makes available its own WLAN during commissioning, so that it can be comfortably programmed in mobile mode, even when no network infrastructure is available.

ABB-free@home

®

Connection via WLAN (Fig. 5)

If the System Access Point cannot be connected to the Internet router via cable, it can be logged into the existing

WLAN network via WLAN as client.

However, in the final state the System Access Point should be set up as participant within the available network infrastructure.

Connection via patch cable (Fig. 6)

If the System Access Point and Internet router are installed side by side, they can be connected via a patch cable.

The System Access Point can be connected to the available network infrastructure of the apartment or house either via the installed Ethernet port or the installed WLAN antenna.

Connection via installation cable in case of structured cabling (Fig. 7)

If the System Access Point is to be connected via a CAT installation cable, it can be connected via the RJ45 socket with an LSA adapter.

Creating a plan for devices (Fig. 8)

Each free@home device has a unique, eight-digit serial number. It is affixed permanently to each device as well as on a removable identification label.

It serves as an aid for identifying the devices during commissioning.

To facilitate indentification a three-digit character code, which is generated from the specific serial number, is additionally available. Although it does not clearly identify the device, its accuracy, however, is sufficient to make it unique in the system.

To be able to identify the devices and channels more clearly during commissioning, it is recommended to document the three-digit character code of the devices, their function and location already during their installation.

» To do this, pull off the removable labels from the devices and document the associated functions on the

enclosed master (Plan of devices; see Fig. 58 ).

Creating the house structure (Fig. 16)

The first step of the configuration is the creation of the house structure.

Here a digital image of the apartment or the house with all its floors and rooms is created.

This information is used during the next step to allocate the devices available in the house to a function and to their mounting position.

After commissioning has been completed the floor plan here created is also used for the visualization of the installation and as orientation for the switchable loads.

If devices are also to be switched outdoors, e.g. lights on the terrace or in the garden, you should create a "Terrace" or "Garden" room, to be able to position the devices there.

Placement of devices to rooms (Fig. 18, Fig. 19)

During the next step the devices connected to the system must be identified, i.e. they are allocated to a room according to their function and are given a descriptive name.

In chapter 6 you will find a complete list of all applications that could appear here (depending on the devices that are actually connected to the system).

The "Add device" bar displays only those devices / functions that are actually connected to the system, and only until the devices have been moved on the floor plan via drag-and-drop. This means that the list keeps getting shorter as the devices are being positioned.

» In the "Add devices" bar select the desired application and pull it via drag-and-drop into the floor plan

(Fig. 18).

» A pop-up window opens automatically which lists all the devices that are connected to the bus and suitable for the selected application (e.g. all blind relays, if the blind application has been selected (Fig. 19).

» Press the tick at the bottom right to take over the entry.

» A blue connecting line indicates the link between the two devices. The configuration is now transmitted automatically to the devices. The transmission can (depending on the number of affected devices) take a number of seconds. During the transmission a progress bar is displayed around the devices affected.

» After the transmission has been completed the switch can be operated directly locally.

ABB-free@home

Switching options (Fig. 25)

The following switching options are available:

®

Two-way circuit (01)

An output device is connected to one or several switches.

Group circuit (02)

Several outputs of the same type (e.g. all the lights in a corridor, all roller blinds of a room) are combined in a group. The group acts like a single output and can be connected with switches or integrated into scenes (at

ON all relays of the group switch on, at OFF they all switch off).

Scene (03)

A scene produces a state that can be defined by the user.

This, for example, allows the user to create a "TV" scene that dims the living room light, switches off the lights in the corridor and dips the blinds. Scenes cannot be switched

ON or OFF. The same pre-defined status is always restored when a scene is called up.

The states of the participants in a scene can be defined when the scene is created.

A created scene can also be linked with a switch to enable it to be switched locally.

04 Commissioning

Timer (Fig. 26, Fig. 27)

All programmed devices and scenes of the system can be switched automated via the timer (time profiles).

Time profiles

A time profile defines a collection of switching times. Several time profiles can be created and switched active / inactive independent of each other (green tick = time profile active -> saved switching actions are executed).

This, for example, allows separate time profiles for controlling blinds and lighting to be created, to obtain a better visual clarity. Or a special holiday profile can be created, which you only activate during your absence.

All time profiles are displayed in the profile view. When selecting a profile, all switching times for devices and scenes stored in this profile are indicated on a timeline in an overview display.

Additional profiles can be created and existing ones renamed or deleted via the spanner icon.

» First select the profile you wish to edit and then click the spanner.

Contents from the profiles that have already been created can be taken over into the currently active profile via the arrow icon in the editing mode.

Two profiles have already been created in the factory settings:

» Base profile,

» Presence profile.

Base profile

The base profile can be freely edited. It already contains the object "Day/night switchover" in astro mode. The day/night switchover serves the control elements and the dimmers as switchover time between bright and dark for the status LED, and the switch-on brightness (settable in the parameters of the control element, and the dimmer).

Example of application: After 11 p.m. the corridor light is no longer to switch on with maximum brightness, but only with the reduced brightness of 40%.

Or: The light for orientation of the sensors in the bedroom is to be switched off after 11 p.m.

ABB-free@home

®

Presence profile

The presence profile is a special time profile with which presence simulation can be implemented.

The timeline of the presence simulation is filled with the desired switching actions, the same as a normal time profile. However, no switching time needs to be defined. Instead, the switching times are filled automatically with historical data of what actually took place.

It presents an image of customary use.

All the events of the last 7 days are stored in the historical data. What is not stored are events that were switched on and off in quick succession.

The presence simulation can be edited, activated and deactivated the same as all other time profiles. This means that additional switching events are added or certain events are deleted.

Timeline

The timeline displays all the switching times of a selected weekday. Switching actions that take place at the same time are displayed stacked.

The sun and moon icons indicate the time for sunrise or sundown.

The selection of a certain switching event changes the view to a detailed view (Fig. 27).

Here the switching time can be adjusted. Also the weekdays can be defined at which the event is to be repeated, or the circuit can be activated via the astro function.

Switching times can be linked with the times for sunrise and sunset via the astro function.

List view

All devices and scenes that have been programmed can be selected via the list view, sorted according to mounting position.

They can be positioned on the timeline via drag-and-drop to define the switching times.

Input Units and Input/ Output Units

General Information

Input Units and Input/ Output Units can be used for the execution of different functions, e.g. switching lights, dimming lights, calling up scenes and moving blinds. They can be configured for controlling individual functions, for the execution of group functions or scenes.

An input unit consists of a 2gang or 4gang switch, a movement detector or room thermostat. An input/ output unit consists of a 2gang switch, a 4gang switch or a movement detector and either an inbuilt relay, dimmer or blind relay.

Control elements are available for the switch ranges

ZENIT and future

®

linear (see Fig. 29-30).

Input unit

The input unit serves as a pure switch, i.e. manual switching commands of the user are recorded and sent to the bus. Remote outputs can be switched via the configuration. Loads can not be switched directly.

Input/ output unit

Aside from their function as switch, input/ output units also serve as switch for the switching of loads. The switches and switching channels are pre-programmed when supplied, i.e. after activating the bus voltage and connecting the load, it can be switched directly.

All control elements are supplied in "Rocker" operating mode ex factory. This means:

ABB-free@home

LED behaviour of light for orientation

Each button resp. rocker of a switch has an LED. At the point of delivery this LED is configured as light for orientation. This means:

®

» Operation on the top activates or gives a movement up command,

» Operation on the bottom deactivates or gives a movement down command,

The operating mode can also be changed to "Push-button" mode via the channel selection of the respective input unit in the "Device settings". The switch then acts as two separate push-buttons. This means:

» Operation on top switches on,

» Repeat of operation on top switches off.

» The LED lights up permanently, to ensure that the switch is easy to locate in the dark.

The brightness of the LED can be changed or totally deactivated in the device settings.

LED behaviour for status indication

For the status indication the LED of the rocker can be reconfigured in the device settings. If the switch is linked with an output unit, the LED signals whether the output unit is on or off.

Example of application: The input unit is to switch a scene. A scene can only be triggered, but not switched on and off. Through the parameterization as push-button a switch can activate two different scenes.

The clear indication of the output status is guaranteed as long as only one switch is linked with one or several outputs or several switches activate an identical group of out-

puts (Fig. 36).

Important: The setting becomes visible only after the input unit has been positioned in the allocation.

If several switches activate different groups of outputs the correct indication of the output status is no longer guaran-

teed (Fig. 37).

After the changeover a separate item in the drop down menu of the switch icon is displayed for each of the pushbuttons!

Movement detectors (Fig. 38-39)

Movement detectors detect movement in their surveillance area and send this information to the free@home bus. This allows automated functions to be executed, e.g. switch a light or a scene.

ABB-free@home

Movement detector (Sensor)

The movement detector (Sensor) serves for the detection of movement, i.e. movements of the user are recorded and sent to the bus.

Remote output devices can be switched via the configuration. Loads can not be switched directly.

®

The movement detector still has a brightness sensor, which measures the ambient brightness. This ensures, for example, that light is switched only when it is actually required. The threshold value from which the movement detector is to switch can be programmed in the user interface.

Movement detector/ relay

Aside from their function as movement detector, movement detector/ relay units also serve as switch for the switching of loads.

Movement detectors are available for the switch ranges

ZENIT and future

®


Detection range: See Fig. 40

The sensors and switching channels are pre-programmed when supplied, i.e. after activating the bus voltage and connecting the load, it is switched directly via the movement detector.

When supplied, the movement detector operates dependent on brightness, i.e. it switches only in the dark. The switching behaviour can be changed in the user interface.

Room thermostat (Fig. 43-44)

The display of the room thermostat always indicates the set-value temperature. This can be changed via the arrow keys of the control element. The room thermostat operates as PI controller and in time adjusts its control value also to the response of the room.

Room thermostats are available for the switch ranges

ZENIT and future

®


The room thermostat has 4 operating modes that can be adjusted locally:

Comfort operation

Application: You are in the room for a longer period of time; the comfort temperature is to be reached.

Behaviour of the room thermostat: The display indicates the set-value temperature that has been set. The controller aims at this temperature.

Eco mode

Application: You are leaving the room for a few hours; the room temperature is to be reduced to save energy; however, the room is not to cool down completely.

Behaviour of the room thermostat: The display indicates "ECO". The temperature is reduced by 4°C (the reduction can be adjusted in the user interface).

ABB-free@home

®

Off mode

Application: The room is not being used for a lengthy period of time.

Behaviour of room thermostat: The display indicates

"OFF". The heating valves are closed (antifreeze is active).

Antifreeze mode

Application: Switches on automatically when a window contact has been connected and the window is being opened.

Behaviour of the room thermostat: The display indicates antifreeze. The heating valves close. If the room temperature drops below 7°C, the heating is switched on again to prevent damage to the building.

Heating/cooling switchover

The room thermostat is suitable both for heating and cooling operation. The switchover of the two modes is made via a binary input which has been configured as heating/cooling reverser and is connected with the room thermostat in the user interface.

.

Extension unit operation

The room thermostat can be configured in the device settings as extension unit. In this setting only the temperature sensor of the main unit is evaluated, the extension unit serves only for selecting the operating mode, and the setvalue temperature.

Touch 7” (Fig. 48)

The free@home Touch 7" serves as indoor video station for the ABB-Welcome / Welcome M door communication system and for the central control of free@home functions, such as moving blinds, switching scenes, or controlling the temperature (as extension unit).

The panel is connected to both bus systems, the free@home bus and the Welcome bus. The audio/video signals are transmitted and the device is supplied with power exclusively via the Welcome bus. The panel can therefore also be used as a pure video indoor station without a connection to the free@home system.

It is not possible to operate the panel without being connected to the Welcome bus. This means that at least one

ABB-Welcome system controller or one additional power supply is to be provided to ensure that the panel is supplied with power.

Up to 16 free@home functions can be positioned on the free@home operating page. The room thermostat function occupies two function positions. Programming is carried out via the user interface of the System Access Point.

In addition, the panel acts as gateway which mutually compiles the telegrams of the two bus systems. This, for example, makes it possible to switch an relay in the free@home system during an incoming door call of the

ABB-Welcome system, or to use a switch in the free@home system to send an "Open door" command to the ABB-Welcome system.

Each of these functions appears as separate entry in the

"Placement" area. The functions can be positioned on the floor plan and then, like any other input or output, connected in the "Linking" area with other inputs and outputs.

The "Door call" function offers 4 linking functions for each of the 4 possible Welcome outdoor stations. This allows specific actions to be configured separately for each entrance of the house. These are triggered as soon as the visitor rings the bell at one of the outdoor stations.

The "Door opener" function offers 5 connecting functions:

Either one of the 4 possible door openers of the Welcome system can be specifically activated (to open a specific door with the input), or a door opener can be defined which dynamically opens the door from which a door call is currently being made (all doors can be opened with only one sensor, wherever the bell is being rung from).

Binary inputs (Fig. 50)

With the aid of binary inputs, information of switch contacts can be used outside the free@home system. For example, window contacts can be integrated to switch off the heating in the room automatically or to retract the awning during the wind alarm of a weather station. The type of sensor connected to the binary input must be defined in the user interface.

Each binary input makes the following types of sensors available for selection:

Push-button interface

Integrates a conventional switch or push-button.

Wind alarm

When connected with a blind/ shutter relay the blind/awning is moved in (with wire-break protection, i.e. the wind alarm is triggered when the contact is open).

Blind/ shutter relay (Fig. 43)

Electronic relay for valves (Fig. 54)

Electronic relay for valves are suitable for the activation of thermoelectric servo valves. They can only be controlled by room thermostats. 3 servo valves share one input voltage terminal. The current via this common terminal must not exceed In=0.5 A.

Wind alarm

As soon as a wind sensor is configured in the system (for

description of function see page 62), all blind/ shutter re-

lays are coupled to its output signal. This means that during a wind alarm all roller blinds/awnings and blinds move to their top end position and are locked. They can then no longer be moved manually via the control elements. A flashing LED on the control element signals that the blind is locked.

All blind/ shutter relays which are not to respond to the wind alarm can be deactivated via the user interface.

Position fixing/calibrating

Aside from the top/bottom end positions, a blind can also move to intermediate positions, e.g. 50% top. The position is fixed on the basis of the movement time of the blind.

Since this movement time varies individually, it must be fixed separately for each blind.

If nothing has been programmed, the visualization cannot display an actual position and only the top/bottom end points can be moved to. The movement time can be set in the device settings of the user interface.

The LED of a switch, which is connected with a non-calibrated blind, flashes at the point of delivery until the calibration has been carried out.

Connect the System Access Point via LAN with the router before commissioning.

Identification (Fig. 55)

Devices which are physically connected to the free@home bus, log themselves automatically into the

System Access Point. They share information about their type and supported functions. During initial commissioning all devices are given a generic name (Switching actuator

1, etc.). The user then needs to change this name during commissioning to a practical, system-specific name (in the case of a relay to "Living room light", for example).

When the cable is plugged in it is recognized automatically and the access point mode is deactivated. The System Access Point then receives an IP address from the router automatically. During the attempt to connect, the connection display flashes. After the connection has been established the connection display lights up permanently.

Connect the System Access Point via LAN with the router after commissioning.

Network functions

Access point mode

The access point mode is intended for commissioning of the system. The System Access Point establishes its own

WLAN and acts as DHCP server (devices which connect themselves as client with the WLAN receive an IP address automatically).

Here the access point mode must be deactivated manually. This can be carried out with a press of the button on the device itself or in the network settings of the user interface. The System Access Point then receives an IP address from the router automatically. During the attempt to connect, the connection display flashes. After the connection has been established the connection display lights up permanently.

Advantage: The system can also be made operational and operated without a router (e.g. Fritzbox).

Connect the System Access Point via WLAN with the router after commissioning.

Disadvantage: In access point mode the System Access

Point cannot be simultaneously connected to an Internet router. For continuous operation the System Access Point should therefore be configured as LAN or WLAN client so that the users can both surf on the Internet with their devices and operate the free@home system without having to change between different WLAN networks.

This can be carried out via the network settings of the user interface. There select the name* of the network with which you want to connect and enter the network key. The

System Access Point then receives an IP address from the router automatically. During the attempt to connect, the connection display flashes. After the connection has been established the connection display lights up permanently.

» Press the access point button to activate or deactivate the access point mode.

» During initial commissioning the access point mode is automatically activated.

» The network name (SSID), the WLAN password and the IP address of the System Access Point are located on a label in the interior of the device (power adaptor).

The access point mode can be activated again at any time. If the access point mode is deactivated, the LAN client or, if it has been configured, the WLAN client mode is activated.

*Note: The list of recommended network names (SSIDs) is created during the boot-up process of the System Access Point. The WLAN networks that cannot be reached at this point will not be shown in the list of recommendations.

Network

Here the network settings of the System Access Point can be programmed.

Possible settings:

» LAN client - Used when the System Access Point is connected to the Internet router via network cable.

Note: This mode is activated automatically when the access point mode is deactivated (LED of the left button is off).

» WLAN client - Used when the System Access Point is connected to the Internet router via WLAN.

User

Her additional users can be created or users deleted. Also access rights can be changed.

General

Setting of the system name, the system language, location and time.

Data backup

The data backup stores all the settings made. It is first backed up on the internal memory of the System Access

Point, but it can also be exported. The data backup is created automatically at regular intervals, but it can also be created manually. Data backups that have been created by user type "Installer", can be restored by other users, but cannot be deleted by them.

Update

Firmware update of the System Access Point and the free@home devices. The update file contains both the updates of the System Access Point as well as the updates for all system devices. The update consists of four steps:

05 Types of Devices

Service

Updating all devices: Loads ther current firmware to the free@home devices. Only necessary if the update of the devices was rejected during the update dialogue.

Master reset: Resets all free@home devices connected to the bus to the factory settings. All data backups, user data, floor plans and time programs are retained.

Upload of the firmware to the System Access Point:

Takes place automatically after the update file has been selected.

Processing the firmware: Takes place automatically after the successful update. The process can take a few minutes.

Installing the firmware: Takes place after confirming the update dialogue. The update takes a few minutes.

After the update has been carried out successfully, the

System Access Point restarts. This could lead to the website in the Internet browser continuing to indicate an ongoing update process. An update of the website

(F5 key) rectifies the problem.

Firmware update of all free@home devices connected to the bus: After confirming the update dialogue, all free@home devices connected to the bus are updated automatically. The update is always carried out simultaneously on two devices and can be recognized by the mutual flashing of the LEDs. The process takes approximately 2 minutes for each device. The system can be operated as usual during the update.

Resetting the database: Resets the System Access

Point completely or partly to the factory settings. The selection of the parameters to be reset is made in the popup window

08 FAQ and Tips

08 FAQ und Tipps

Mounting the System Access Point (Fig. 57)

The System Access Point is installed surface-mounted.

The bus line is always inserted on the rear side. The 230

V power cord and the optional CAT wire can also be inserted on the rear side or installed surface-mounted. In case of surface-mounting, the wires are inserted from the underside of the device via the available breakout openings.

If the CAT wire is inserted on the rear side, it should be ensured that the distance between centres of the two installation boxes amounts to 80 mm.

Connection of the CAT wire

CAT wires that are already patched can be connected directly via the RJ45 female connector of the System Access Point.

If an installation line is being used, the adapter cable enclosed with the device is to be used. On one end of this cable the installation cable can be installed via LSA technology. On the other end is an RJ45 plug, which can be connected with the female connector of the System Access Point.

Commissioning is always carried out via the System Access Point. A smartphone, tablet or PC is required for commissioning. No additional software is required. The use of the free-of-charge free@home® app is recommended for commissioning via smartphone or tablet.
