2.4.3 Switch Status of the Connected Lights
One light can be connected to each single channel AGLAS Remote, and up to two lights (“A” and “B”) can be connected to each
dual channel AGLAS Remote. A light can assume the following types of status:
•
“Off” (light is switched off and not burning).
•
“On” (light is switched on and the electric circuit is closed).
•
“Open” (light is switched on but the electric circuit is not closed, i.e. the light filament is broken or the light is not connected).
•
“Blink” (light flashing; no information as to whether the light is “On” or “Off” at the time of polling).
On the Graphical User Interface (GUI), the status of each light is indicated by the terms given in quotation marks.
2.4.4 Switch Status under Special Circumstances
With the help of the AGLAS PC software, the user has to configure each AGLAS Remote of a circuit to which the Remote shall
switch its connected lights:
•
When the series circuit is powered up (power-up mode),
•
When the communication between the AGLAS PC and the AGLAS Master or between the AGLAS Master and the AGLAS
Remote is interrupted (fail-safe mode),
•
And if there is to be a Delayed Start/Stop or not (when several lights are switched simultaneously by a block command).
2.4.4.1 Power-up Mode
The “power-up mode” defines to which status the AGLAS Remotes should switch their lights directly after power-up of the series
circuit. The parameters of the following types of switch status can be set via the AGLAS PC:
•
“On”.
•
“Off”.
•
“Blink” (flashing).
•
“Last Commanded State” (maintain the last operating status).
This mode ends after a switch command from the AGLAS Master has been received.
2.4.4.2 Fail-safe Mode
As soon as the AGLAS Remote detects a failure of the communication with its AGLAS Master or receives a failsafe telegram from
it, it switches the connected light(s) into a predefined status. This status can be parameterized via the AGLAS PC software as
follows:
•
“On”.
•
“Off”.
•
“Blink” (flashing).
•
“Last Commanded State” (maintain the last operating status).
The duration of the interval before a communication problem is identified can be configured via the AGLAS PC software as well.
The failsafe mode is not exited automatically after communication has been restored but only after the AGLAS Remote has
received a switch command from the AGLAS Master.
2.4.4.3 Delayed Start/Stop
When switching several lights via a block command, the lights can be controlled using a defined delay (ms), which can be
configured. This setting ensures constant current regulator stability in case of large load fluctuations. The following parameters
can be set:
•
No delayed switching.
•
Delayed switch-on/off setting 1 (10ms delay per lamp)
•
Delayed switch-on/off setting 2 (20ms delay per lamp)
•
Delayed switch-on/off setting 3 (30ms delay per lamp)
•
Delayed switch-on/off setting 4 (40ms delay per lamp)
•
Delayed switch-on/off setting 5 (50ms delay per lamp)
