ALLNET MSR sensors Commissioning

The external sensors/actuators are either plugged directly into the I2C ports on the control panels or can be connected remotely via a cable. You can use a simple network cable (RJ45 plug) to connect the sensors/actuators to the power meter remotely, Cat. 5). However, existing network or telephone cabling can also be used. The maximum cable length between the power meter and the module can be up to 100 meters. The modules are supplied with power via the control panels. A separate power source for the individual modules is not required.

The ALL4404 8-port multiplexer module can optionally be used to connect several modules to the control units. This allows up to 8 sensors/actuators to be connected to the I2C port of the control units and into the web interface. Attention: Not all sensors are compatible with the Multiplexing HUB.

Setting options under "Configuration" > "Sensor Actuator Search". I2C sensor/actuator ports are available on the control units. You can use all sensors and actuators from the ALLNET program that work exclusively with a supply voltage of 3.3 V. The connection is made either directly or via a so-called ALL4404 multiplex hub.

Manual sensor actuator search

Step 1: Open the "Configuration" tab and click on "Sensor Actuator Search".

Step 2: For a new search, click on "Select all".

Or you know on which port and select port "0" by clicking on it, for example

If you click "Simulate (On)", the sensor is not automatically created on the main page. In our case, we leave this function switched off.

Step 3: Now click on "Start". The search is animated and the sensors found are displayed below.

Step 4: Once the search has been successfully completed, click on "Overview" in the "Main page" tab.

The sensor is now displayed on the main page and can be configured further.

Use the same procedure when using a Multiplex "ALL4404 or ALL4504 "HUB". Repeat step 1 and go to "Select all".

Step 5: We click on "Start" again and the search begins on all green ports.

Step 6: In our case, a motion detector "ALL4452" is connected to the hub. This is a single switching input. Please click on "Select". The sensor field is marked "green". Then click on "Create selection".

The search is complete and the sensors found are located further down again

We click on "Overview" under the main page tab and see the sensor displayed. "0" means no movement and therefore no action. "1" means the sensor detects movement and could switch an actuator.
