5.8. Event Manager
The feature means that the device can sense changes on its ports and able to
react according to the pre-defined settings. The development idea of the Event
manager is based on users’ feedbacks. In many cases internal events (such as
signal present) are necessary to display but it is not easy when the device is hard to
access (e.g. built under the desk).
INFO: For tips and tricks and detailed description about the application of Event Manager, please download
the Event Manager User's Guide from the Download section on the
The Event manager can be configured to perform an action if a condition has been detected. E.g. the desired
setup is that after a certain type of signal has been detected on I1 port, the port has to be switched to O1.
The settings can be done via the LDC in the Control/Events tab, or by LW3 protocol commands. Configurable
events number depends on the device what you are using actually.
Numerous new ideas and requests have been received in connection with the features and settings of the
Event manager since the first release. Therefore, the user interface has been re-designed and many new
functions implemented. The Event editor can be opened by pressing the Edit button at each Event.
There is a
grey bar
on the left of the Event panel in each line. If a condition and an action are set and the Event
is enabled, the bar is displayed
in green
