Default setting:
Act mode
The trigger is the event to which an output reacts. The following triggers are
possible:
Act mode
: The output reacts to the action mode set in the basic param-
eter level.
barrier1
: The output reacts to the light barrier 1, regardless of which
action mode is set.
barrier2
: The output reacts to the light barrier 2, regardless of which
action mode is set.
barrier3
: The output reacts to the light barrier 3, regardless of which
action mode is set.
manual
: The output reacts when the
button is touched. The button
press thus represents the trigger for the output.
With the manual trigger actions can be started at the push of a button.
none
: The output does not respond to a trigger. It is switched off.
Each trigger can be used for every output, even if it has been used
already!

Drive mode
Name:
drv mode
, Levels:

,
Values:
single

contin
.
Default setting:
single
Using the default setting
single
after a trigger the system will go once
through the parameters
lag time
,
release time
,
release period
,
interval
and
repetition
.
In the
continuous
mode, the system will go through the parameters men-
tioned above, as long as the action mode is met or the specified light barrier
is interrupted, depending on which trigger is set for the output.
In continuous mode, for example, the behaviour of animals eating at
a feeding place could be documented.
For example, if three light barriers are installed as a curtain barrier
around a feeding place then an output could release a camera as long
as there are animals triggering the barrier.
