To do the following we need a spare 


  • POINT
  • OUTPUT 


That we will program to operate when a Custom Function is triggered.

 

The point would be connected to a door and operated when the door is opened/closed.


 

The  programming will need to be performed in RPS

 

There are a number of things (in no particular order)

 

 

Create a Custom Function 

 

  • Select an unused Custom Function        (eg; CF 128)

 

  • Give it a name (eg: Monitor Door Open)

 

  • Select and click on FUNCTION 1    

 

  • Set Function = Turn Output ON      

 

  • Select the OUTPUT as Parameter #1  ( you need to NOMINATE an Output eg: 17)



Turn Output ON function means it follows or MIRRORS state of the POINT.   

 

  • Point sealed = Output OFF  

 

  • Point unsealed / triggered , output operates as long as point unsealed


If function selected as One Shot Output you can make the output fire for a specific period of time and then reset,


This may be longer than the point/ Door was unsealed. 



 


 

 

Point profile:

 

We need to set up a Point profile to run the Custom Function

 

  • Select an unused (eg: 34)  Give it a NAME  =  Monitor Door Open

 

  • Set it’s POINT TYPE as Custom Function.

 

  • Set Point Response = 1 should do job

 

  • Set Output Response Type: default = 0   we want 1 = follows state of POINT

 

  • Set Custom Function Name =  Monitor Door Open

 

 

Set up POINT to operate:

 

  • Under POINTS / POINT Assignments

 

  • Select the POINT we want to use for this operation 

 

  • Name Text can be changed  ( give a name  eg:  Door Open Point)  

 

  • Select the POINT PROFILE it operates under (34) Monitor Door Open

 

Description should change to match its name.

 

  • Under OUTPUT in Point assignments   change value to the Output nominated under Create Custom Function ( eg: 17)

 

 

Save and download to panel.

 

Should provide function as required
