4.4.2. Rotary LEDs
Rotary LEDs always display the actual position of the rotary. For more details about it see Front View section.
4.4.3. Serial Message Sending
The RAP-B511 can send serial messages via RS-232 port in order to control the other devices. This function
can be set as an action which executed after the trigger condition (e.g. buttonpress).
Preparations and Settings
▪
The RS-232 port settings (baud rate, data bits, parity, stop bits) of the connected serial devices must
be the same.
▪
The RS-232 port of the RAP-B511 must be in
Disconnect
mode. (If the target device is also Lightware
unit, take care of the its operation mode, too)
▪
Pay attention to the correct serial cabling (connector pinout). For more details about the cabling, see
Wiring Guide for RS-232 Data Transmission section.
The configuration is available in UI Config Menu and the Event Manager . The details about serial message
sending is available in the Sending Message via the Communication Ports section or in the Message Sending
Application Note .
4.4.4. Ethernet Message Sending
The RAP-B511 can send TCP or UDP messages via Ethernet port in order to control the other devices. This
function can be set as an action which executed after the trigger condition (e.g. buttonpress).
Preparations and Settings
▪
Pay attention to the TCP/IP port no. (and have it opened) settings in the connected devices. (The
Ethernet has to be enabled at the TPS and Ethernet ports.)
▪
The Ethernet devices must be in the same subnet.
▪
If you have problems with accessing a device over Ethernet, try to check the connection e.g. by PING
the IP address.
All settings are available in UI Config Menu and the Event Manager . The details about Ethernet message
sending is available in the Sending Message via the Communication Ports section or in the Message Sending
Application Note .
4.4.5. GPIO Output Level Change
The GPIO (General Purpose Input/Output) port is a multifunctional input/output interface to control the
RAP-B511 or third-party devices and peripherals. You can establish connection between the controller/
controllable device and the RAP-B511 by the 4-pole Phoenix connector. Three pin's direction is configurable
independently based on needs of the application.
When the GPIO pin is used as an output, it is able to send a TTL signal the other device by changing the
output level. GPIO output level change can be set as an action.
The configuration is available in UI Config Menu and the Event Manager .
GPIO Example
The projection screen is moved up and down by
Relay box
when the Button2 or the Button3 is pushed. Relay box
is controlled by the GPIO port.
Step 1.
Select the
Button2
and
Button3
set their operation mode to
Radio Group1
.
Step 2.
When the
Button2
is pressed, it triggers the P1 pin of the GPIO to high level (it closes the Relay and
the projection screen is rolled down). Select the
Button2
and choose the
Turn ON actions
tab. Click on
the
Set output state to 'High'
action and set the
P1
output port. Click
OK
to save.
Step 3.
When the
Button3
is pressed, it triggers the P1 pin of the GPIO to low level (it opens the Relay and the
projection screen is rolled up). Select the
Button3
and choose the
Turn ON actions
tab. Click on the
Set output state to 'Low'
action and set the
P1
output port. Click
OK
to save.
ATTENTION! Please always check the electrical parameters of the devices what you want to control. The
maximum current of one GPIO pin is 30 mA, the maximum total current for the three pins is 180 mA.
See the LDC settings for GPIO port in the GPIO section. See also the details about the button configuration,
in the UI Config Menu section.
