3.15 Pulse
•
If any of the units I/O is configured as an output, you can pulse that output one
or more times based on a specific input condition. The Pulse Width and Delay
between Pulses is selectable in milliseconds. The delay is only required when
more than one pulse is being sent.
•
Select the
Pulse
from the
Action
drop-down menu and pick a desired output
channel
, the
Number of Pulses
and the
Pulse Width
.
•
When done, the user clicks the
Add
button to append the command to the
existing user string as shown in Figure 12.

The
I/O Control
tab as shown in figure 13 allows the user to configure any or
all four discrete I/O as inputs or outputs.
•
An input can be as
Input-Contact
, which is for normal ‘dry-contact’ type
devices or
Input-Voltage
which can be a DC voltage from 9-28 vDC.
•
Any I/O configured as inputs may have the current status
read by clicking the
I/O Status
button.
•
Any I/O configured as outputs may have the output state set by selecting the
appropriate control button.
•
RTS is an OUTPUT, CTS is an INPUT. Action based configuration strings can
be created for the CTS Input only.
•
The HR-4P unit can be assigned a unique address value from 01 to 99. This is
used as part of the “Long Command Format” mode when serially
communicating with the unit. Only the HR-4P unit with that unique address will
respond to RS232 commands.
All HR-4P unit addresses receiving the serial
information must be unique otherwise incorrect operation will occur!
•
All HR-4P units will respond to address 00. If multiple devices are connected
together serially, all devices will respond resulting in garbled RS232
transmissions.
o
Long serial command format:
HRTxxADR?
where xx = 00 to 99
o
Short serial command format:
ADR?
•
After using the
Connect
button and establishing communication with a HR-4P
unit, this tab will show the units
Firmware Version
Number as well as its
programmed
Address
