IR/Serial Send_Commands (Cont.)
IROFF
Halts and clears all IR 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
Disables 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 PON and POF command settings on the IR_1 device.
POF
Turns off a device, based on input Link.
• If at any time the IR sensor reads that the device is on (such as if one turned it on manually at the front
panel), the card automatically attempts to turn the device back off.
• If three attempts fail, the card will continue executing commands in the buffer.
• If there are no commands in the buffer, the card will continue to try until a 'PON' or 'POD' command is
received. If it fails to turn the device off, a PUSH and RELEASE is made on channel 254 to indicate a
power failure error.
• 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
Turns on a device, based on input Link.
• If at any time the IR sensor reads that the device is off (such as if one turned it off manually at the front
panel), the card automatically attempts to turn the device back on.
• If three attempts fail, card will continue executing commands in the buffer. If there are no commands in
the buffer, the card will continue to try until a 'POF' or 'POD' command is received.
• If it fails to turn the device on, a PUSH and RELEASE is made on channel 254 to indicate a power
failure error.
• 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>,'PON'
Example:
SEND_COMMAND IR_1,'PON'
Sends power up IR commands 27 or 9 to the IR_1 port.
PTOF
Sets the time between power pulses in .10-second increments, and is stored in permanent memory.
Syntax:
SEND_COMMAND <DEV>," 'PTOF',<Time>"
Variable:
Time = 0-255 in tenths of a second increments; default = 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.
