2 TT455-RT-238, HW5.x We have invested in a new tool, capable of showing the exact timing of the X10 signals, and we have perfected the signals send out of the XM10 modem. We recommend you update your HW5.x to the latest firmware. TT455-RT-238, HW6.x We have added X10 control in the HW6.x, which is controlled by the CM11/CM12 modems. Since the communication with the CM11/CM12 is by RS232 and the CM11/CM12 handles all communication on the power lines, the solution is working perfectly. We also added our popular Easy X10 feature, which allows you to make a very fast and easy setup/control of all House codes (A-P) and Addresses (1-16). The B&O LIGHT commands, control on, off, dim and bright. Works very well. UPDATED:

3 The following pages describe: Introduction X10 description Easy X10 - HW5 using XM10 modem or HW6 using CM11/CM12 (recommended) TT455-RT-238 HW5.x - using XM10 modem or TW523 (io interface) TT455-RT-238 HW6.x - using TI213 modem (RS232) TT455-RT-238 HW6.x - using CM11/CM12 (RS232, recommended) Please observe The supported X10 features (On, Off, Dim, Bright, All Lights Off, etc.) may vary between the above solutions. If you are missing a function, then please contact us. You specify which solution you are using, by settings it in Memory Map / Settings / X10 PLC (Power Line Carrier)

4 First set the X10 PLC setting in the Memory Map When you have selected which modem you want to connect to your TT455-RT-238, then disconnect power to the TT455-RT-238. When you reconnect power to the TT455-RT-238, the modem will check the mains power frequency (50 or 60 Hz). A quick test, is to open the LOG in the Configurator. Then activate an X10 controller. When the modem detects the X10 command on the mains power line, it will send a command 048 to the computer/configurator. See next pages.

5 If you are interested in reading X10 signals from the TT455-RT-238: Then you need to know how to read the command 048 parameters. Contact LinTronic. If you are interested in sending X10 signals from a computer to the TT455-RT-238, in order to control your X10 devices. Then you need to know how to control command 039 parameters. Contact LinTronic.

7 X10 description X10 is a HomeAutomation system sending and receiving: - signals over the existing mains power lines (PLC = Power Line Carrier) - RadioFrequency signals The signals can be used to turn On/Off the power to your appliances and to adjust the light level of inside and outside lamps/light. The system offers different type of signal Transmitters and Receivers. A Transmitter can be a desk-top device connected to the mains, a computer, a remote control or a converter detecting some kind of signal and converting into X10 PLC signals. A typical Transmitter is the Mini-Timer, which can both work as a smart alarm-clock turning on the light in the morning and/or opening curtains, but also offering random control of the light in your absence to make your Home look occupied.

Requires an XM10 or TW523 modem which connects to the back of the TT455-RT-238. This means you can use X10 signals to control your TT455-RT-238 and hence convert X10 signals into InfraRed, RS232 og digital outputs. And you can use your B&O remote to send X10 signals onto the powerlines. TT455-RT-238 HW5.x TEXT 0 MENU TV LIGHT RADIO SAT DVD CD VTAPE RECORD ATAPE To computer Tx Rx Gnd XM10 or TW VAC/50-60Hz

19 IMPORTANT NOTES FOR HARDWARE 5 AND X10 XM10 Reading X10 signals from the powerlines, is a very timeconsuming process requiring a lot of resources of the microprocessor, as it must scan the powerlines more than 500 times pr second in order to detect the signals properly. Furthermore it must sample about 50 bits and check for correct pattern for the House, Address and Function codes. In order to optimize the detection of the B&O remote, we do not want to use resources to scan the powerlines, if you are not even using X10. In order for the TT455-RT-238 to determine whether an XM10/TW523 modem is actually connected, the following power-up procedure is required: 1. Insert phone cable into the TT455-RT Insert phone cable into the XM10/TW Insert XM10/TW523 into the mains power outlet 4. Apply power to the TT455-RT-238 The TT455-RT-238 will now measure the mains powerlines frequency: - 50 Hz for Europe (23 vac) - 60 HZ for USA (115 vac) The TT455-RT-238 will send a command onto the RS232 comport to advise a computer about the frequency detected: < The blue 048 means that an X10 signal is detected. The orange 001 means the data shows the mains power line frequency. The red 050 indicates the carrier frequency (can be 000, 050 or 060). If the mains powerlines frequency cannot be measured, then the TT455-RT-238 will not spend time on scanning the power lines for X10 signals, meaning that you will not be able to send or receiver powerline signals. Repeat step 1-4, if you later connect an XM10 modem. PS: As long as TT455-RT-238 is connected to the computer, then the detected X10 signals will be send to the computer. When TT455-RT-238 is not connected to the computer, then the detected X10 signal will trigger the memory Map.

30 IMPORTANT NOTES REGARDING the TI213 interface Commands to read from or control the TI213, are send out on the baudrate of the TT455-RT-238. The default baudrate of the TT455-RT-238 is bps. The default baudrate of the TI213 is 9600 bps. So, either you must set the TT455-RT-238 to 9600 bps, or you must set the TI213 to bps (recommended) as shown below (DIP 8 = ON)

31 IMPORTANT NOTES FOR HARDWARE 6.x AND TI213 Reading X10 signals from the powerlines, is a timeconsuming process requiring some resources of the microprocessor, as it must send out an RS232 command at least once a second in order to read the TI213. In order to optimize the detection of the B&O remote, we do not want to use resources to read the TI213, if you are not even using X10. In order for the TT455-RT-238 to determine whether a TI213 modem is actually connected, the following power-up procedure is required: 1. Insert custom made RS232 cable into the TT455-RT Insert custom made RS232 cable into the TI Insert TI213 into the mains power outlet 4. Apply power to the TT455-RT-238 After power-up, the TT455-RT-238 will wait 10 seconds before starting to read data from the TI213. This delay period allows you to connect the TT455-RT-238 to the computer and start a configuration without the TT455-RT-238 sending out data to the TI213 every second. If the TT455-RT-238 detects the Configurator during the first 10 seconds, it will abort reading the TI213 every second and wait for a new power-up. After the 10 seconds delay - if no computer is detected - TT455-RT-238 will detect the TI213 and send a command to the computer to advise whether a TI213 was detected on comport 1: < The blue means that a TI213 was tested. The red 000 (000 or 213) indicates whether it was detected (000 = not detected, 213 = detected). If the TI213 cannot be detected, then the TT455-RT-238 will not spend time scanning for it, meaning that you will not be able to send or receiver powerline signals. You will still be able to send infrared signals (IR and IRRF).
