What is X10 all about ?
Tells you how X10 works.
X10
Transmitters and Receivers
A selection of the X10 products LinTronic
offer.
X10-LinTronic
communication possibilities
Explains how the light and appliance modules
can be controlled and work together.
Advantages
by controlling X10 from a LinTronic TT455-RT-238
Using a TT455-RT-238 as controller or
converter, expands the X10 possibilities many times.
The TT455-RT-238 is capable of transmitting
X10 signals onto the mains power lines and control up to 256 different groups of light and
appliances. Also control the DIN rail based dimmers to specific light levels.
Also, the TT455-RT-238 is capable of receiving
X10 signals from the mains power lines and convert into InfraRed signals controlling your
audio/video, lights, curtains, etc. - or convert into RS232/RS485 signals controlling your
computer, LDC/plasma screen, projector, etc. etc. - or convert into digital ouputs signals
controlling relays, electrical doorlock, garagedoor, etc. etc.
What to be
aware of when using X10
Be aware of the possibilities and traps when
operating with X10.
The TT455-RT-238 allows control of X10.
Our SETUP configuration program offer the below configuration and test, allowing you to
adjust/play with the X10 control.
Memory Map
In the Memory Map you have total control of
all X10 addresses and functions such as On, Off, Dim, Bright, All Off, All Lights On, etc.
And you can specify macros taking care of specific light scenes by setting X10 dimmers to
specific light levels. (Note: Only DIN rail dimmers support specific light level setting).
And you can convert X10 signals from the mains line into IR signald fro your audio/video,
etc. etc.
See example on how we mix Memory Map function
with the below default X10 control, to set 10%, 90% and manual Dim/bright of X10 Light
Dimmers - click
16 channel Dim/Bright control
One thing that is not so easily achived in the
Memory Map, is to manually adjust the light level on a specific lamp up/down. Therefore we
have now added a very nice fixed control of up to 16 optional X10 addresses:
LIGHT <number> GO - sends ON command to the specified address (prodivided set to be
ACTIVE).
LIGHT <number> STOP - sends OFF command to the specified address (prodivided set to
be ACTIVE).
LIGHT <number> UP - sends BRIGHT command to the specified address (prodivided set to
be ACTIVE).
LIGHT <number> DOWN - sends DIM command to the specified address (prodivided set to
be ACTIVE).
LIGHT GO - sends ON command to all ACTIVE addresses (prodivided set to react to GO).
LIGHT STOP - sends OFF command to all ACTIVE addresses (prodivided set to react to STOP).
When you have activated LIGHT you do not need
to re-activate LIGHT in order to change channel.
Note that LIGHT shuts down in the B&O remote after 25 seconds.
This will work regardsless of your settings in
the Memory Map. You can even mix scenario/macro control from the Memory Map with this
16-channel functionality.
DEFAULT
Sets the 16-channel X10 Light and Appliance Control back to factory settings.
GET
Retrieves current settings from your TT455-RT-238.
SET
Stores the shown settings into your TT455-RT-238.
Received
Interesting for HomeAutomation installers or
programmers using the X10 command as Trigger. Command 048, received X10 commands, is
normally used by programmers to see what is being send from the TT455-RT-238 to the
computer. You may want to activate an X10 controller to see data being received for
verification/understanding.
Transmit
Select the HouseCode A - P, Address 1 - 16 and
Function On, Off, Light Level % and click Test.
If you want to test a sequence of multiple commands then click "Add to SendList"
and click "Send All" when ready.
