This chapter is guide for building a room automation system using the whole
functionality of the RAP-B511 series.
4.1.
General Concept
Room automation panel is designed for advanced control functions. Industrial standard communication
interfaces (RS-232, Ethernet, GPIO, IR) ensure the compatibility with third-party units or Lightware products.
They make possible to automate the whole AV system in a huddle room.
Customizing the control functions can be done by making connections between the proper inputs (triggers
or conditions) and the desired outputs (actions). These settings can be done from a computer using the
Software Control - Lightware Device Controller
(LDC) software or via LW3 protocol commands (for more
section).
Inputs
may come from:
▪
The Room Automation Panel by pushing (or releasing) the button, turning or pushing the rotary switch.
▪
Real-Time Clock (e.g. when the local time is equal 12:00 the action is executed).
▪
Other incoming signals: detected IR codes, recognized RS-232 messages, GPIO level changes.
Outputs
can be the followings:
▪
Button LEDs of the Room Automation Panel.
▪
Send messages (or signals) to the other device: RS-232 message sending, TPC/UDP message
sending, GPIO output state changing.

These settings are available both the Event manager and the UI Config menu, but
managing the configuration is highly recommended in the UI config menu.
These settings are available only in the Event manager.
