RC-E User Manual
Management Client (RC-E Manager)
To specify a description, type the description and click
Save
in the toolbar (see "Management Client
Overview" on page 34).
Hardware name:
Name of the hardware with which the input unit is connected. The field is non-editable from
here, but can be changed by clicking
Go To
next to it. This takes you to hardware information, where the name is
editable.
Unit number:
Non-editable field, displaying the unit on which the input can be found on the hardware. For
hardware capable of having more than one input unit attached, the unit number will typically indicate the number
of the input port to which the input is attached. For hardware with, for example, four input ports, the numbers will
typically range from
0
to
3
.
Fill in Properties on the Settings Tab
Lets you verify or edit key input settings, for a selected input, or for all inputs within a selected device group. If the
selected device group contains 400 or more inputs, the
Settings
tab will be unavailable for viewing and editing
because changing settings for so many devices in one step takes too long time.
The content of the
Settings
tab is determined entirely by the devices in question, and is thus likely to vary depending
on the input selected.
Content may vary, but you will typically see the following property:
Input rises on:
Lets you define whether the input signal should be considered rising on
Circuit closed
or
Circuit
open
. The value of this setting is used on the input's
Events
tab, where you define properties for input events:
Input Rising
event,
Input Falling
event, and
Input Changed
event. See also the description of the properties of the
Events tab
(see "
Fill in Properties on the Events Tab
" on page 90).
The content of the
Settings
tab is displayed in a table, in which the first column lists the available settings, and the
second column lists the value of each setting.
You are typically able to change the values:
1. Select the row with the property you want to change
2. Click the button to the right of the properties column.
3. Change the value of the property.
4. In the toolbar (see "Management Client Overview" on page 34), click
Save
.
When you have changed a setting to a non-default value, the value will appear in
bold
. When a value must be within
a certain range, for example between 0 and 100, the allowed range will be displayed in the gray information box below
the settings table.
Fill in Properties on the Events Tab
Lets you define events based on changes of the input's state, from circuit opened to circuit closed or the reverse
order. The events you define can subsequently be used in rules.
You can define events for a selected input, but not for all inputs in a device group.
1. In the Site Navigation pane (see "Panes Overview" on page 36), expand
Devices
, and select
Inputs
.
2. In the Overview pane (see "Panes Overview" on page 36), select the required input.
3. Select
the
Events
tab, and click
Add...
.
4. In
the
Select Driver Event
dialog, select the appropriate option (
Input Rising event
,
Input Falling event
, or
Input Changed event
).
