Emergy’nX: Custom button on an equipment card, Equip. panel of the Dashboard, real project
The Custom button on an Emergy’nX equipment card sends a precise value to the device: a 0 or 1 choice, a percentage, a setpoint with unit, a scene number, a mode or a charging current in amperes. The form adapts to the DPT of the command configured for the equipment.
Intended for people authorized to control the equipment. For a forced stop or forced run, use the Auto, OFF and ON modes instead.
Before you start
Section titled “Before you start”- You are in the real project: in the demo, no command is sent to your installation.
- The expected value and its unit have been validated for the device by the person responsible for the installation.
Open the Custom window
Section titled “Open the Custom window”- Check the project, then open Dashboard → Equip.. On a phone, Equip. may show only four squares.
- Find the card by the device name.
- To the right of Auto, OFF and ON, click Custom. If a custom value already exists, this button may show that value or its name instead of Custom.
- In the window, check the equipment name above Custom value. To the right of this title is the DPT of the command, or Amperes for a charging station.
Enter the value
Section titled “Enter the value”The form varies according to the equipment’s configuration:
| Presentation | Entry |
|---|---|
| Two buttons 0 and 1 | Click the choice that matches the expected action; its name may be customized. |
| Percentage | Move the slider between 0 and 100%, or use a suggested value, then reread the percentage. |
| Number with unit | Enter the expected number and check the displayed unit. Fictitious example: 21.5 °C, only if the field corresponds to this temperature. |
| Scene number, with /63 | Enter the known whole number between 0 and 63. Do not infer a correspondence with another screen that is numbered differently. |
| Named choices with numbers | Click the desired mode. The labels may have been customized for the equipment. |
| Amperes | Move the slider within the displayed range or choose a suggested value in A. Use the setpoint suited to the charger and the installation. |
A value may be present as soon as the window opens: the current custom value, or a starting value (0 for a percentage or a scene, the minimum current for a charging station). Reread it: this prefilled value is not a recommended setting for your installation.
Send or cancel
Section titled “Send or cancel”- Click Send when the equipment, the value and the unit are correct. On a computer, Enter also sends a valid value: press this key only to send, not to leave the field.
- To close without sending, click Cancel or press Escape. This cancellation applies to the current entry, not to a command already sent.
Check the result
Section titled “Check the result”The Value sent: … message appears and the window closes as soon as the request is sent. Then check the value and mode displayed on the card, and the observable behavior of the device: the device is what confirms that the value was applied.
To then hand control back to automation, click Auto on the same card and check the result, as described in the modes guide.
Troubleshooting
Section titled “Troubleshooting”If Custom is grayed out, hover over it on a computer to read its hint, then have the configuration corrected by the person responsible:
| Hint | Cause | Action |
|---|---|---|
| Missing KNX address | No address in the equipment’s Controlled Value Control block. | Enter the validated address and DPT in the equipment’s KNX configuration. |
| Intensity range not configured | LEKTRI.CO or EVlink Pro AC charger: currents missing, or minimum not below maximum. | Enter Minimum Intensity (A) and Maximum Intensity (A) in the EVCP charger configuration. |
| DPT … unsupported | The DPT of the command has no Custom form. | Check the DPT planned for the KNX object. |
Do not enter an arbitrary address or range to enable the button.
- Send remains grayed out: check that a choice has been made, that the numeric field is not empty and that the value is within the suggested range.
- The value was sent in the right project, but there is still no result: do not repeat the sends or change the configuration for this symptom alone.
If the problem persists, or if the message or the setting to use remains uncertain, contact support@can-nx.com with the equipment, the value and unit, the displayed message, the time and the attempts made.
