Data point initialisation

The initialisation of the data points takes place when the EIBPORT is (re)started, one of the data points is changed and/or a new data point is created and saved. Through the initialisation, the input statuses of the logic groups can be changed and therefore triggered. In the "System" > "Settings" menu, global initialisation settings are made, an individual setting can be made in the data points themselves.

Information

The info-box shows the order in which the initialisation conditions can be carried out. The initialisation completes the options from the top to the bottom.

Use status table

The data point accesses the status table. A value is sought for the sending group address (the first in the list if several are assigned). If a value is found it can optionally be checked for its age.

Use only if newer than

Determines a time-frame in which the status has to be located in the status table (depending on the timestamp used there), so that the value from the table is brought into consideration.

Possible setting
with the individual data point configuration

Read Value (if possible)

If this option is active, during the initialisation of the data point, a so-called “Value Read” telegram is sent to the sending group address of the data point. If the object is appropriately configured, a regular telegram with the current status should arrive within a short period of time.

For this option, a timeout (maximum waiting time for a response) of up to five seconds is provided.

Please note

Please note that this type of initialisation triggers a normal event, so that the corresponding logic groups could be triggered
by the event!

Fixed value - only for specific data points

Set a fixed value in the form of one of the existing Data Points | data-points.

This option does not check the actual data point type. At this point you can input any data which is applied during the initialisation. A fixed value for the initialisation is not possible if it relates to a data point with several outputs (time, date, RGB, dimming values).
