I. INTRODUCTION

INTRODUCTION

3of 13

The Power over Ethernet (PoE) Motor is a low-voltage powered distribution and network-connected motor

that utilizes PoE technology power and control from industry-common network switches.

This motor supports both Somfy Synergy™API and CoAP Digital Building API protocols and is

compatible with Power over Ethernet Network Switches IEEE 802.3at (PoE+) Type2 (30W) or higher.

PoE motor system quantity is based on managing the number of devices on the subnet(s) available, unless

specific network configurations are in place and managed by an IT Administrator.

III. SYSTEM PREPARATION

A fully operational PoE Motor system is required prior to Control4 programming.

•Confirm with the Shade Commissioning Agent that the PoE Motor firmware is up to date

•Confirm with the Shade Commissioning Agent that all PoE Motors and Groups are configured

•An Integration Report is generated in the PoE Motor Config Tool which will include the PoE Motor IP address

•Obtain the PoE Motor PIN codes from the Motor Information Labels

USING MOTOR LABELS

Each Somfy PoE motor is supplied with four motor information labels that should be referenced to connect to

motors. The label includes a four-digit PIN code for the motor and will be used to log in to the motor.

These codes will be used for the life of the product.

DO NOT DISCARD THE MOTOR INFORMATION LABELS!

One of the motor information labels should remain on the body of the motor. The other three labels should be

shipped in the packaging of the motorized product, or see below for recommended locations to use the labels.

Suggested locations for the Motor Information Labels:

•Finished motorized products:

Examples:

-Attached to the motor cable

-Removeable shade hem bar

-Motor cover

•Inside the valance of the motorized product

•Work order sheet used in project planning

•Product packaging used for shipping

Example above: On motor tube Example above: Shade hem bar Example above: On motor cable

IMPORTANT NOTE:

Gathering and organizing motor PIN codes and motor information from the included motor

labels is very important in navigating through the PoE motor graphical user interface.

METHOD A -Add the PoE Motor Blind Device via SDDP Discovery:

1) In the Composer System Design view, Project tree, SELECT a Room in which a device is to be added

2) In the Items pane, SELECT the “Discovered” tab

3) SELECT the PoE Motor device, DOUBLE-or RIGHT-CLICK to “Add to Project,” automatically connecting the IP

address

4) RENAME the device to the associated location or room

5) SELECT the appropriate Blind Type for the product in the dropdown

6) SELECT the appropriate Blind Movement for the product in the dropdown

7) In the device Properties tab, VERIFY the Driver Information displays “Communicating with the Somfy PoE Motor

normally since…”

Refer to the Somfy PoE Motor Driver Set details located in the device Documentation tab. A Somfy PoE Motor Blind driver is required for each PoE Motor

installed. There are two methods to add a PoE Motor Blind device to a Project, via SDDP Discovery or searching the Composer Driver Database.

V. SET UP

8) TEST operation of the motor

Refer to the Test Operation section of this guide to test the PoE Motor.

METHOD B -Add the PoE Motor Blind Device via searching the Composer Driver Database:

1) In the Composer System Design view, Project tree, SELECT a Room in which a device is to be added

2) In the Items pane, SELECT the “Search” tab

3) In the Manufacturer dropdown list, SELECT “Somfy”

4) SELECT the “Somfy PoE Motor Blind” driver, DOUBLE-or RIGHT-CLICK the driver to “Add to Project”

5) RENAME the device to the associated location or room

6) SELECT the appropriate Blind Type for the product in the dropdown

7) SELECT the appropriate Blind Movement for the product in the dropdown

8) In the Composer Connections view, SELECT the “Network” tab

9) In the IP Network Connections pane, DOUBLE-CLICK the Somfy PoE Motor Blind in the Device list

or SELECT the Somfy PoE Motor Blind in the Device list, then SELECT “Identify”

10) ENTER the IP address of the PoE motor, then SELECT “Close”

11) Return to the System Design view, device Properties tab, VERIFY the Driver Information displays “Communicating

with the Somfy PoE Motor normally since…”

12) TEST operation of the motor

UDP ENCRYPTION KEY

1) In the Composer System Design view, Project tree, SELECT a PoE Motor device

2) In the device Properties tab, VERIFY the Driver Information displays “Communicating with the Somfy PoE Motor

normally since…”

3) ENTER the four-digit PIN code from the motor information label in the “Motor PIN from Label” field, then SELECT “Set”

4) VERIFY the Motor UDP Encryption Key displays “*** RECEIVED AND STORED ***”

Each PoE motor holds an encryption key for UDP communication and must have the same key when the project requires PoE Motor Groups, otherwise

the below steps are not necessary. The process of entering the Motor PIN needs to be performed on each PoE motor device.
