Button Modes

Before a control panel module button is programmed, it has no function. See chapter 4, Serial Communications, to program the buttons. Programming includes:

•Assigning the program string(s) to the button. One or two strings (primary and secondary) can be assigned to each button.

•Setting each program string to be either ASCII or hexadecimal.

•Setting the mode for each button. The mode for each button can be any one of the following:

Single — Sends the primary program string when pushed.

Toggle — Sends the primary program string when pushed once. Sends the secondary program string when pushed a second time.

Press/release— Sends the primary program string when pushed. Sends the secondary program string when released.

Continuous — Sends the primary program string when pressed and continues to repeat sending the primary command string for as long as the button is held.

•For toggle mode, if desired, setting a group or timeout:

Group — Buttons that are in toggle mode can also be assigned to a group. When one button is selected, the control panel module deselects all other buttons in the group.

Groups cannot be assigned to buttons that are set to operate with a timeout.

Timeout — Buttons that are in toggle mode can be further set to automatically toggle off after a user- defined period of time, up to 255 minutes.

Timeouts cannot be assigned to buttons that are set to operate in groups.

The actions that occur when you push a programmed button vary, depending on how the button is programmed.

•Single mode — Push the button to send the primary program string. The button’s LED flashes once.

•Toggle mode — Push the button to send the primary program string. The button’s LED lights. Push the button a second time to send the secondary string. The button’s LED goes out.

•Press/release mode — Press and hold the button to send the primary program string. The button’s LED lights. Release the button to send the secondary string. The button’s LED goes out.

•Continuous mode — Press and hold the button to repeatedly send the primary program string. The button’s LED lights. Release the button to stop sending the string. The button’s LED goes out.

•Two or more buttons set to toggle mode and grouped — Push a button in the group to send that button’s primary program string. That button’s LED lights. If another button in the group was selected, that button is deselected (its LED goes out).

When buttons are grouped, the CTL208 does not send the secondary command string for the button it deselects when you select a new button in the group.
