Aero- Global Input to Output Linking
Global Input to Output Linking
The purpose of this is function is to use an input device (such as a panic button), that when activated, will send a command to activate/pulse an output (such as an alarm sound or flashing lights). This is performed not by the software, but throught scripting. Please contact Senstar Support for additional help.
- In order to configure Global Input to Output Linking, you must create a text file in Notepad and place it within the Remotepath/Data folder of the SymphonyAC installation directory with the following filename: "ControlPoint<Driver ID>.ini"
- The contents of the file should contain the Monitor Point that triggers the relay as the section header in brackets, followed by the relay command properties:
[Monitor Point Address] Command= 1==off, 2==on, 3==single pulse, or 4==relay(s) follow state of input (for ACP/inBIO controllers)
Address= Control Point Address to link to when the Monitor Point goes active ON_Time= used for command 3 or 4 OFF_Time= used for command 4 only with Aero Repeat_Count= used for command 4 only with Aero
- Example Below is a sample ControlPoint2.ini file. The 2 in the filename represents that this file will be used by driver 2. The example below will momentarily activate control point 2.3.6.O12 for 5 seconds anytime monitor point 2.0.4.I6 goes active. Notice that these 2 points are on different controllers.
[2.0.4.I6] Command=3
Address=2.3.6.O12 ON_Time=5 OFF_Time=0 Repeat_Count=0
- Multi-Relay Example To activate multiple relays from a single input point, simply index the Address property with a numeric ID. Please note that the numeric IDs must be continuous order without gaps:
[2.0.4.I6] Command=3
Address=2.3.6.O12 ON_Time=5 OFF_Time=0 Repeat_Count=0
Address1=2.3.6.O13
Address2=2.3.6.O14
Address3=2.3.6.O15
Address4=2.3.6.O16
The example above will pulse relays (12 - 16) for 5 seconds when input 6 goes active.
