Delta Lighting Controller (GE Lighting) DLC-G1212 (Rev 1.3) Installation & Application Guide
Note:
Although recommended, it is not crucial that you set the Binary Output (BO) object to a non-
feedback condition, if you are using the RR7 relays. If you do not set it, feedback will always go to the
default value of the BO. On a reset or start up, the lights will be switched on or off depending on the
default value, until they are told to turn on from within GCL.
Example
You have a Delta Controls GE Lighting Controller, using the General Electric RR7 relays:
1. The Binary Output (BO) of the relays is set to default to ON. Upon reset or start up, the lights
controlled by the RR7 relays will all turn ON, while waiting for the GCL program to tell them what
to do.
2. The Binary Output (BO) of the relays is set to default to OFF. Upon reset or start up, the lights
controlled by the RR7 relays will all turn OFF, while waiting for the GCL program to tell them what
to do.
3. The Feedback value in the Binary Output (BO) of the relays is DISABLED. Upon reset or start up,
the lights controlled by the RR7 relays will all remain in their current status, while waiting for the
GCL program to tell them what to do.
To switch the controller to a non-feedback condition, the user must force the Binary Output (BO) object
to a non-feedback condition.
To set the Binary Output (BO) object to a non-feedback condition:
1. Open the BO associated with the RR7 relay.
2. Under the Device Tab, in the Module section, there is a field called Feedback. This field has three
options – Disabled, From Relay, From GCL. Select Disabled and click OK or Apply.
3. This relay will now function properly under the non-feedback condition.
However, if you leave feedback enabled, you must set your default value to ON or OFF depending on
your requirements, as described below.
To set the Default Value of the Binary Output (BO):
1. Open the BO associated with the RR7 relay.
2. Under the Setup Tab, in the Default field, select ON or OFF, depending on your requirements.
3. Click OK or Apply.
Ensuring that the Feedback field is disabled, as described above, will alleviate any problems of the lights
turning on or off on reset and start up.
USING BAC
STATS
You may connect up to 12 BACstats (DNS-14 or DNS-24) on a LINKnet network to a GE Lighting
Controller. With GCL programming in the Lighting Controller, buttons on the BACstats can be used to
control lighting, as well as temperature functions.
PROGRAMMING
Write GCL programs in the GE Lighting Controller to accomplish the desired lighting control strategies.
Also, ensure that all associated network traffic is kept to a minimum. Refer to Chapter 11 and Appendix
G in the V3.22
ORCAview Technical Reference Manual
for further programming information.
