IR/Serial SEND_COMMANDs (Cont.)
Command
Description
IROFF
Halt and Clear all active or buffered IR commands being output on the designated port.
Syntax:
SEND_COMMAND <DEV>,"'IROFF'"
Example:
SEND_COMMAND IR_1,"'IROFF"
Immediately halts and clears all IR output signals on the IR_1 port.
POD
Disable previously active 'PON' (power on) or 'POF' (power off) command settings.
Channel 255 changes are enabled.
This command is used in conjunction with the
I/O Link
command.
Syntax:
SEND_COMMAND <DEV>,"'POD'"
Example:
SEND_COMMAND IR_1,"'POD'"
Disables the 'PON' and 'POF' command settings on the IR_1 device.
POF
Turn Off a device connected to an IR port based on the status of the corresponding I/O Link input.
If at any time the IR sensor input reads that the device is ON (such as if someone turned it on manually at the front
panel), IR function 28 (if available) or IR function 9 is automatically generated in an attempt to turn the device back OFF.
If three attempts fail, the IR port will continue executing commands in the buffer.
If there are no commands in the buffer, the IR port will continue executing commands in the buffer and trying to turn the
device OFF until a 'PON' or 'POD' command is received. If the IR port fails to turn the device OFF, a PUSH and RELEASE is
made on channel 254 to indicate a power failure error. You can only use the 'PON' and 'POF' commands when an IR
device has a linked I/O channel. Channel 255 changes are disabled after receipt of this command.
You can only use the 'PON' and 'POF' commands when an IR device has a linked I/O channel.
Syntax:
SEND_COMMAND <DEV>,"'POF'"
Example:
SEND_COMMAND IR_1,"'POF'"
Sends power down IR commands 28 (if present) or 9 to the IR_1 device.
PON
Turn On a device connected to an IR port based on the status of the corresponding I/O Link input.
If at any time the IR sensor input reads that the device is OFF (such as if one turned it off manually at the front panel), IR
function 27 (if available) or IR function 9 is automatically generated in an attempt to turn the device back ON. If three
attempts fail, the IR port will continue executing commands in the buffer and trying to turn the device On.
If there are no commands in the buffer, the IR port will continue trying to turn the device ON until a 'POF' or 'POD'
command is received. If the IR port fails to turn the device ON, a PUSH and RELEASE is made on channel 254 to indicate
a power failure error.
You can only use the 'PON' and 'POF' commands when an IR device has a linked I/O channel. Channel 255 changes are
disabled after receipt of this command.
Syntax:
SEND_COMMAND <DEV>,"'PON'"
Example:
SEND_COMMAND IR_1,"'PON'"
Sends power up IR commands 27 or 9 to the IR_1 port.
PTOF
Set the time duration between power pulses in .10-second increments. This time increment is stored in permanent
memory. This command also sets the delay between pulses generated by the 'PON' or 'POF' send commands in tenths of
seconds. It also sets the delay required after a power ON command before a new IR function can be generated. This gives
the device time to power up and get ready for future IR commands.
Syntax:
SEND_COMMAND <DEV>,"'PTOF',<time>"
Variable:
time = 0 - 255. Given in 1/10ths of a second. Default is 15 (1.5 seconds).
Example:
SEND_COMMAND IR_1,"'PTOF',15"
Sets the time between power pulses to 1.5 seconds for the IR_1 device.
PTON
Set the time duration of the power pulses in .10-second increments. This time increment is stored in permanent memory.
This command also sets the pulse length for each pulse generated by the 'PON' or 'POF' send commands in tenths of
seconds.
Syntax:
SEND_COMMAND <DEV>,"'PTON',<time>"
Variable:
time = 0 - 255. Given in 1/10ths of a second. Default is 5 (0.5 seconds).
Example:
SEND_COMMAND IR_1,"'PTON',15"
Sets the duration of the power pulse to 1.5 seconds for the IR_1 device.
