Main Menu

Warning!

This section applies to all Control Point series: the Control Point and Control Point VAV.

A basic function of the main menu is to display values of sensors available in the panel and provide quick access to editing of certain parameters. If necessary, the main menu can be adjusted to specific user requirements as described below.

Note: Please note that if editing parameters is enabled from the main menu level, it is available without any restrictions, anyone having physical access to the panel would be able to edit such parameter.

In order to restrict access to editable parameters, it is recommended to use submenus, where it is possible to secure editing with a password.

Examples of enhancing the main menu functionality:

  • displaying outside temperature;

  • displaying supply/return temperature;

  • displaying light status;

  • displaying open windows status;

  • etc.

Each element of the main menu can be set editable.

All main menu parameters are written to the EEPROM memory of the panel.

Default Main Menu

The default main menu displays values measured by all sensors available in the panel and a temperature setpoint, with parameter’s shortcut name and a proper unit.

Main menu display sequence

REFRESH_TIME: sets the duration of the display time of particular parameters. When the refreshing time elapses, the next parameter is displayed according to the sequence of parameters display. The default value is 2 seconds (each parameter is displayed for 2 seconds). The minimum refreshing time is 1 second.

  • Modbus register: 40217;

  • BACnet object: AO13, property: Present Value.

It is, however, possible to change the elements displayed in the main menu – remove default parameters, edit parameters of default elements, or add user-defined elements.

User-defined Main Menu

User-defined main menu means that the display either shows elements additional to the default set (sequence 1), or it is possible to remove default elements and display only user-defined ones (sequence 2):

There are 8 numeric and 8 Boolean user-defined parameters available that can be used to adjust elements displayed on the LCD display. All these parameters are read-only locally from the panel, writing is possible only from a higher-level system. Each parameter has to be activated to be visible. Active parameters are displayed in the main menu in a specified sequence. After a panel restart, user-defined parameters are not displayed until they are overwritten from a higher level system (master controller). The main menu user-defined parameters are implemented for displaying additional information.

There are 2 ways of setting user-defined parameters:

  • using components in the iC Tool (recommended if the panel is connected to a controller);

  • using Modbus registers/BACnet objects (directly).

Using Components in the iC Tool

This method is recommended and available if the panel is directly connected to a controller.

Editing and Removing Default Elements of the Main Menu

The kit including components necessary to edit of remove default elements in the main menu is the iSMA_RoomDevices_Modbus kit. The components in question are the component representing sensors available in the panel:

  • TemperatureSensor;

  • TemperatureSetpoint;

  • HumiditySensor (if applicable);

  • CO2Sensor (if applicable).

To use any of these components, add them to the ModbusDevice component in the ModbusAsyncNetwork:

01 Components - default main menu.png

Components to edit/remove default elements in the main menu

To remove the element from the main menu:

  • set the Visibility slot in the TemperatureSensor/HumiditySensor/CO2Sensor components to false, save the new setting using the Save button, and send the configuration to the panel using the writeConfig action;

  • set the Active slot in the TemperatureSetpoint component to false, save the new setting using the Save button, and send the configuration to the panel using the writeConfig action.

To edit the way default elements of the main menu are displayed, use the remaining slots of the components. This way it is possible to change if the element is editable from the main menu, change the displayed name, and more.

To find out detailed information about the editing options of these components, go to Temperature Sensor / Temperature Setpoint / Humidity Sensor / CO2 Sensor.

Adding New Elements in the Main Menu

The kit including components to add new elements in the main menu is the iSMA_RoomDevices_Modbus kit. The/ components in question are:

  • MainMenuBoolean;

  • MainMenuNumeric.

Each component is responsible for reading/writing and configuration of a single Boolean or numeric parameter, which will be placed in the panel’s main menu.

To add a new parameter on the main menu, follow these steps:

  • Add the MainMenuBoolean or MainMenuNumeric component to the ModbusDevice component in the ModbusAsyncNetwork;

  • Change the Point No slot to one of the eight available slots;

  • Configure the remaining slots as required;

To find out detailed information about editing options of these components, go to MainMenuBoolean / MainMenuNumeric.

  • Save the component’s configuration using the Save button;

  • Send the configuration to the panel using the writeConfig action.

Using Modbus Registers/BACnet Objects

This method is available directly in the panel.

This method requires the use of an external Modbus or BACnet explorer tool.

Editing and Removing Default Elements of the Main Menu

To edit or remove default elements of the main menu using Modbus registers or BACnet objects, use the following parameters:
