Programming in iDM

Introduction

iNELS Design Manager, or IDM3, is for programming iNELS units. This software serves as the platform for configuring device parameters, defining functions, and executing the programming required for iNELS units.

Device parameters, such as sensor range and thresholds, backlights, and operational modes, can be easily adjusted within the IDM3.

The process of programming in IDM3 typically involves defining functions and establishing logical connections between different devices. This allows for the creation of automation scenarios and the implementation of intelligent control strategies.

Starting up

Select the "blue control icon" as shown in Fig 1 > Clicking on the option "New project from default template“ allows you to create a new project from a predefined template.

Select the "Device manager" (Fig 1)> Add "New unit "> Select the central unit > Add "New unit">Select the "Internal-Master/ BUS"> Add "New unit "> Add the devices> Click on the devices to see the "Parameters".

Parameters: Parameters in the iNELS devices refer to the measurable factors or characteristics that define the behavior or performance of the device. These could include electrical properties, physical dimensions, environmental conditions, and various other specifications depending on the type of device.

These are settings specific to individual devices within your automation system.The specific parameters of the IBWL3 in the iDM as shown in Fig.2
