Q: I want to run a B+B Electronics or Web Relay External Digital
Relay I/O device as part of my alarm system. How do I do this?
A: In addition to email alarms and pop-up windows, you can
also run commands on the viewLinc Server (which in turn
can trigger external devices) when an alarm threshold is
exceeded.
To configure these:
In the Create Threshold screen on the Notifications tab, click
Add, then select Add Command Notification. Enter a DOS
command in the appropriate box. There are different boxes to
accept different commands for when an alarm is triggered,
notification is repeated, alarm acknowledged, or alarm
condition is no longer true.
If you are using a B+B Electronics External Digital Relay I/O
Device, you must also attach the Digital Relay I/O Device to a
COM port on the viewLinc Server.
If you are using a Web Relay device, no com port is required
– this device can be connected directly to the local area
network. Both devices can be configured using the
instructions within the B+B Relay and Web Relay Quick Start
manuals.
You must also attach the Digital Relay I/O Device to a COM
port on the viewLinc Server.
When using the B+B External Digital Relay I/O device and
the python SwitchBbRelay script (installed automatically as
part of viewLinc 3.6), the specific DOS command to enter in
the viewLinc Edit Threshold screen is:
“C:\Program Files\Veriteq
Instruments\viewLinc\python\python” -m
