Overview of the DCA commissioning tool
The following section includes basic information about the DCA commissioning tool.
DCA is a project planning software with which you can configure the KNX functions of the panel
for the Busch-Jaeger building automation. Every panel can be set up individually. DCA leads
you through the configuration during project planning.
Essential tasks during project planning with DCA are:
■
Specifying fundamental KNX settings, e.g. display language of the panel (basic settings).
■
Configuration of existing applications.
■
Configuration of pages, e.g. arrangement of buttons.
■
Configuration of control elements, e.g. selection of button icons.
■
Linking with group addresses to establish the connection to actuators and sensors via the
bus.
