Grouping
To save memory space and to make
programming easier, LCN supports the use of groups. With this feature
each module can become a member of up to 250 groups, where there
is no limit to the number of bus modules per group. This fulfills
the requirements of almost all applications. Thus a single command
signal can basically be sent to an unlimited number of bus modules.
For example: Button 2 in the Master-Suite can be programmed to
switch off all outputs in the house by transmitting the respective
command to group 3. This feature is very valuable for example in
an office block, where all lights can be switched off by pressing
one single button!
Design
Grouping can also be dynamic.
A very comfortable effect especially in large conference halls,
allrooms etc.. By adding a door switch, LCN recognises that a room
has been splitted up into several partitions and divides the lighting
in a conference hall into the designated number of groups. The
same switch that initially switched on all lights now switches
only the lights in the partitioned room.
