Controls
The
Change Controls
page can be accessed from the
Change Setup
page by clicking on the
Controls
link.
Each control has the following two settings:
Custom name: a name given to this control so it can be easily identified on other pages (e.g.:
"Pump Control" or "Sensor Power").
Warmup time: only used if this control is set up as a sensor warmup. This specifies the
amount of time this control should stay active for before a sensor reading is taken.
5.4.1
Advanced – Control Considerations
The controls use a priority-based system to handle requests from alarms, warm-ups, and user
control. There are a few rules which should be noted:
If two or more alarms attempt to drive a control in opposite directions, the “OFF” command
will override the “ON” command.
A control cannot be used as both sensor warm-up and by an alarm at the same time.
However, it may be configured to be used by multiple alarms, or multiple input channels as a
sensor warm-up.
If a control is configured to be used for sensor warm-up, it will be unable to be controlled via
the web pages at any time.
If an output is configured to be used by an alarm in ‘Continuous’ mode, it is able to be
controlled via the web pages when the alarm is in the inactive state (not forcing the control),
but cannot be controlled when the alarm is in the active state.
If an output is configured to be used by an Alarm in ‘pulse’ mode, it is unable to be
controlled via the web pages at any time.
