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
