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 are necessary to display
but it is not easy when the device is hard to access (e.g. built under the desk).
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 IR signal has been detected on S1 port, the device send an RS-232
message. 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
.

Event Manager in the RAP-B511
The functionality of the Room Automation Panel based on the Event Manager. UI config page provides an
interface where the events can be set easily and they are saved in the Event Manager. Events from the UI
config page listed backwards (e.g. first event is saved to the E300 slot).
These events are identified by the event name property, which refers to the button (e.g. UIConfig_B11_1) or
the rotary position (e.g. UIConfig_ROT_13).
ATTENTION!
Rename the Events from the UI Config page is highly not recommended!
When one of these events is opened to Edit in the Event Manager, the warning message appears:
