I/O Control

1. I/O Control

2. What is I/O Control? • A Doors feature that allows you to program input events to drive output responses – for example: • An input connected to a glass-break detector can be linked to an output connected to an alarm • This means a broken window will sound an alarm

3. Dedicated I/O Points • Certain inputs are automatically dedicated to specific output functions and are not freely programmable – for example: • The Request to Exit (RTE) input drives the door lock output • The door switch input drives the door alarm output

4. Selectively Dedicated I/O • Certain inputs can be selectively dedicated to specific outputs if so desired – for example: • The secondary RTE input can be assigned to also drive the door lock output

5. Additional I/O Points • An SB-593 Satellite board is required to perform any additional programmable I/O operations • The Satellite board provides the additional inputs and outputs needed for programming

6. Manual Output Control • Manual output control allows you to use Doors to select an output from a list and then turn that output On or Off

7. I/O Control is a Two-Part Process • Input/output configuration • Indicate if inputs or outputs are dedicated • Define inputs as normally-open or normally-closed • Assign names • Link configuration • Assign inputs to outputs • Define how the outputs respond to input events

8. Dedicated I/O Reminder • The first time you click on the Doors tab during any session, a reminder appears for making the dedicated I/O assignments before making any general I/O control assignments • Ensures dedicated I/O links are protected from improper assignments

9. Open the I/O Configuration Window • Click the button or Select the Setup > System pull-down menu • Click the I/O Config tab to open the configuration window

10. Select Controller • Use the pull-down list to locate the controller for which inputs and outputs should be defined

11. System Dedicated I/O Points • System-defined I/O points are grayed out • These are automatically assigned by Doors for specific functions, i.e. • Door switch • Door lock • RTE • Alarm output

12. Assignable Dedicated I/O Points • Individual I/O points that can be dedicated to additional functions are identified with Doors defined names, i.e. • DoorB AUX RTE • DoorA DHO alarm out

13. Assign Dedicated I/O • Click in the appropriate Dedicated Y/N check box to make the additional assignments, i.e. • Auxiliary RTE for Door B - Input • Door Held Open for Door A - Output

14. Save I/O Changes • Click the button • If you close the I/O configuration window without saving, your changes are lost and must be reentered

15. Input Name Assignment • Assign a descriptive name to the selected input, i.e. • Glass-Break Sensor • Do not duplicate names or descriptions to prevent confusion when printing reports

16. Select Input State • Click on the Mode N/O N/C radio buttons according to whether the input is normally-open or normally-closed

17. Output Name Assignment • Assign a descriptive name to the selected output, i.e. • Glass-Break Alarm

18. Save Changes • Click the button • If you close the I/O configuration window without saving, your changes are lost and must be reentered

19. Save Changes Reminder • If you forget to save the changes, a reminder appears when you attempt to exit the I/O Config window • Click the button

20. Open the Link Configuration Window • Click the button or Select the Setup > System pull-down menu • Click the Link Config tab to open the configuration window

21. Select Controller • Use the pull-down list to select the controller for which the input to output link should be defined • This can only be a controller with an SB-593 Satellite board

22. System Dedicated I/O Links • System-defined I/O link points are grayed out • These are automatically assigned by Doors for specific functions

23. Link Name Assignment • Assign a descriptive name to the selected input to output link, i.e. • Glass-Break Monitor

24. Select the Input • Select the input to be assigned in this link

25. Multiple Input Links • Multiple inputs can be applied to a link • Select all inputs to apply

26. Multiple Input Processing • Multiple inputs are processed using Boolean logic • Select OR or AND depending upon how the output should be driven • OR triggers the output if ANY input generates a signal (input 1 OR input 2 OR input 3, etc.) • AND triggers the output if ALL inputs generate a signal (input 1 AND input 2 AND input 3, etc.)

27. Select the Output • Select the output to be assigned in this link

28. Set Output Mode • Set the output mode for the link – this defines how the output should react when enabled • N – Normal to drive the output to its at rest state • A – Active to drive the output to its active state

29. Set the Time Zone • Select the time zone during which this link will be active • For the I/O link to be made, the input must change state during the time zone period - Input changes made outside of this time zone will not generate the link to the output • If the Input is already active when the time zone begins, the link to the output will not occur

30. Output versus Event Message • An I/O link can be directed to generate an output event message instead of driving an output relay • Click on Enable Outputs to have the input drive the output relay • Click on Event Messages Only to have the input generate an event message

31. Link Sounds Alert • An I/O link can be directed to sound an alert when active • Sound Alerts must be enabled using the Setup > Monitor and Events > Access Messages pull-down menu option • The system must be in monitor mode and the controller must be online for alerts to be annunciated • The Windows™ exclamation WAV file is the sound that plays • Click on the Link Sounds Alert box to enable this feature

32. Output Drive Type • There are three output drive options: • Timed – stays active for a defined amount of time • When a timed link is triggered by an event, the timer must expire before a new timed link can be triggered (the timed link does not reset if there are rapidly occurring, multiple events) • Follow – follows the state of the input, when the input is active, the output is active • Latched – stays active until manually inactivated • Either by another link or via manual output control commands (described later in this presentation)

33. Timed Output • Click on the Timed radio button to enable this option • Enter the desired relay active time in seconds

34. Follow Output • Click on the Follow radio button to enable this option

35. Latched Output • Click on the Latched radio button to enable this option

36. Save Link Changes • Click the button • If you close the link configuration window without saving, your changes are lost and must be reentered

37. Manual Output Control • Allows you to remotely activate a controller’s output, controlling an external device • Possible examples: • Remote lighting • Siren • Remote gate

38. Open the Output Control Window • Use the Operate > Output Control pull-down menu option

39. Select Output Controller • Click on the Controller pull-down list and scroll through the desired controller

40. Available Outputs • The available outputs are displayed

41. Turn an Output ON • Click the button to turn an output ON • The output status is then displayed

42. Turn an Output OFF • Click the button to turn an output OFF • The output status is then displayed
