We will deal with the Adventus and Allego in the next few lines. It should be noted that the example was chosen for its simplicity and overview. Furthermore should it explain the activities of both components and show one of the many ways to configure and build our system.

The first explanation
The Adventus. It is our trigger in our system. You can link it with a lamp, a socket or anything that has a motor (Garage door, etc.). The Adventus uses the signal of an Allego or the information of a Dator/Gentilitas to switch on/off with which it is linked.

The Allego. It is our switch in our system. The Allego sends each "switch signal" further to its associated Adventus.
The example
A room which gets installed with our digital bus system. It includes a switch and a lamp.











Configuration of the system
General. All our components can be configured and customized. This setting can always be changed. At the beginning we only offer the possibility of configuration via a computer and the help of a program, which guides you through the process and is free of charge.

The address. Each component must be assigned a "line" and a "number". To get a better understanding, you can regard the "line" as a "street name" and the "number" as a "house number". 1 PlentySoft System can have a maximum of 256 "lines" with 226 "numbers", 57856 "numbers" in total. You would have to create a new system, if you want to assign more - Communication across multiple systems is under development.

We use 1 "line" and 2 "numbers" for this example.


The Adventus. The Adventus requires a switching configuration in addition to its address configuration. Should he listen to the signal of an Allego (switch) or use the information of a Dator (indoor sensor) / Gentilitas (outdoor sensor) to turn on / off something with which it is linked. Furthermore can the Adventus switch something at a certain time or with time delay.

We configure the Adventus to listen to the number of the Allego.


The Allego. The Allego requires an assignment to an Adventus (trigger) in addition to its address configuration. You only need to assign the number of the Adventus to the Allego.

The number of the Adventus is assigned to the Allego for this example.


Construction of the system
General. The construction of our system is very flexible and differs from example to example. It adapts to your wishes and the preferences of the electrician of your trust.

We connect the Adventus to the lamp and the Allego with the switch.


A power supply. Our components need a very low voltage to function. Every "line" in our system needs a power supply to provide that voltage.

We need 1 power supply for this example which we install next to the switch into the wall. Furthermore do we connect it to the existing electricity network.


A cable connection. We need a connection between the components for the information to arrive. Our system uses a cable which is offered in all lengths. We also use "RJ10" connectors to simplify the handling.

We connect Adventus with Allego and the power supply.





Expansion of the system
You can always add and / or remove a component without having to shut down the system.

We could add another switch and thus another Allego. Or a light sensor and thus a Dator. Or...
Result
The advantages. You can now use a computer or touch screen - Smartphone app and other possibilities are under development - to see if the Adventus and thus also the lamp is switched on / off. Can control the lamp with time. Can control it from a distance. Can see how much electricity the lamp consumes. Can...


The disruption. PlentySoft was designed so that every component works autonomously. If, therefore, the case of a component failure, the functionality of the system remains ensured. Furthermore are you able to see if a lamp is defective. Or...


In short, more control over your power grid!

We will deal with the Dator in the next few lines. It should be noted that the example was chosen for its simplicity and overview. Furthermore should it explain the activities of both components and show one of the many ways to configure and build our system.

The first explanation
The Dator. It is our indoor sensor in our system and is linked to a sensor. Furthermore sends the Dator each measured information into the system and makes it available to every component. An example of such a sensor would be a temperature sensor, or a light sensor, or a smoke sensor, or a motion sensor, or a moisture sensor, or ...
The example
An apartment which gets installed with our digital bus system. It includes 8 switches, 6 lamps, 8 sockets and a subdistribution (fuse box).

You would have to create a new system, if you want to assign more - Communication across multiple systems is under development.

We use 1 "line" and 21 "numbers" for this example.


The Dator. The Dator does not require any further configurations next to its address configuration.
Construction of the system
General. The construction of our system is very flexible and differs from example to example. It adapts to your wishes and the preferences of the electrician of your trust.

For this example we link the 14 Adventus with their lamps and sockets, the 8 Allego with their switches and the Dator (for this example equipped with a motion sensor) is mounted in the entrance area on the wall.


A power supply. Our components need a very low voltage to function. Every "line" in our system needs a power supply to provide that voltage.

We need 1 power supply, which we install into the subdistribution and connect it to the power supply.



A cable connection. We need a connection between the components for the information to arrive. Our system uses a cable which is offered in all lengths. We also use "RJ10" connectors to simplify the handling.

We connect all components together.

We will deal with the Superventus in the next few lines. It should be noted that the example was chosen for its simplicity and overview. Furthermore should it explain the activities of both components and show one of the many ways to configure and build our system.

The first explanation
The Superventus. It is our storage and separator in our system. The Superventus is used as soon as a system grows beyond one line. It sits at the beginning of each line and separates them from each other. The informations of a Gentilitas and Dator will continue to be sent in every line and made available to all components. Furthermore, the Superventus is equipped with a hard drive, which stores measurement data and other information.
The example
Several floors, which are to be installed with our digital bus system. For simplicity, each floor is identical and includes 1 subdistribution in the stairwell, 1 switch and 14 lamps

We will deal with the Gentilitas in the next few lines. It should be noted that the example was chosen for its simplicity and overview. Furthermore should it explain the activities of both components and show one of the many ways to configure and build our system.

The first explanation
The Gentilitas. It is our outdoor sensor in our system. All measured data of the sensors are made available to every component in the system. This means that 1 Gentilitas is sufficient to switch something with outdoor data. The sensor station was not developed by us. We suggest you visit the manufacturer's "Homepage", if you want to learn more about the sensors. An example of the measured would be the temperature, or the humidity, or wind speed, or the brightness, or...
The example
A greenhouse to be installed with our digital bus system. It includes 19 lamps, 7 sockets and a distribution box (fuse box).
