GE v6 user manual Do Board Records Creation, Do Groups Tab

DO Board Records Creation

When you add a 16 DO board, sixteen (16) digital output records are created. Example: 0001-1-01 DO

This digital output is on micro 1, board 1, point 1. To change this description, type over the existing text and save the record. It is recommended that you keep the mmm-b-ppprefix in each digital output description displayed to aid in locating the alarm points on the physical hardware. This field accepts a maximum of 32 characters.

DO Groups Tab

Alarm Form

Use this tab to link digital output groups to an alarm. When this alarm is triggered, the linked digital output groups are also triggered. The digital outputs will remain active until the alarm is reset, regardless of any specified on-time setting for the DOs, unless it is the primary/local group.

•If it is the primary/local group, the DOs will follow their specified ON-time setting.

•If there is a reader in the primary/local group, the reader will follow the alarm state.

•If the DOs in the primary/local group are set to 0 for the ON time, that will force the DO to follow the state of the alarm or input.

Be aware that Invalid Badge alarms and Lost Badge alarms do not reset. If you assign a DO Group to either of these alarms, the alarm will go inactive or turn off when acknowledging or purging.

Output Groups: This windowpane displays assigned digital output groups. The digital output groups can be on a local or other micro.

Assign DO Groups: Click to display a Digital Output Group Assignment dialog box, allowing you to select and assign alarm DO groups that you want associated with this alarm record.

Primary/Local Output Group: The first local output group in the list of assigned output groups will automatically display as the primary. You can select another output group as primary from the output groups displayed in the windowpane. If the selection is not on a local micro, the assignment arrow button is dimmed and unavailable for assignment as a primary output group. If the micro is offline or unable to communicate with the host at the time of an alarm, only the Primary/Local DO group is triggered.
