They include: MONTH YEAR HOURS MINUTES SECONDS MONTH, DAY, YEAR, HOURS, MINUTES & SECONDS These variables represent the values from the real time clock.
  • Page 90 Sensaphone ® ISACC Instruction Manual Example: This program will turn on the buzzer (output 9) whenever any alarm occurs. It will turn the buzzer off when the alarm is acknowledged. main() if (exists==1) output(9,1); else output(9,0); UPTIME - This variable contains the number of seconds since the last power up or reset. This value starts at zero when the unit is powered up or reset, and will increase in increments of one up to 3600 seconds.

  • Page 91: Function Library

    In ISACC’s C language, there are a number of functions that are predefined. These functions allow you to retrieve certain values and incorporate them into your C program. A function can be a statement by itself or it can be used to retrieve a value and return it. This function is turning output one on and is an example of a function acting alone: output(1,1);...

  • Page 92: Alarm

    Sensaphone ® ISACC Instruction Manual ALARM Summary: int alarm(n); int n; Input Number Description: The alarm function generates an alarm condition for the input specified by n. Return value: The alarm function always returns a zero. Example: This program will initiate an alarm 3 condition if input 3 is greater than 100 and input 2 is greater than 90.

  • Page 93: Enable

    ENABLE Summary: int enable(n1,n2); int n1; Input number int n2; Command, 0=disable, 1=enable, 2=return status Description: The enable function enables, disables, or reads the dialout ability for an input specified by n1. Return value: The enable function returns 0 if the input is disabled, or a 1 if the input is enabled for dialout.

  • Page 94: Input

    Sensaphone ® ISACC Instruction Manual INPUT Summary: int input(n); int n; Input number Description: The input function will return the present value of an input specified by n1. When n1 is a number from 1 to 16, the return value is from the corresponding input. For n1 equals 17 to 20, the return values are the following: 17 The built in temperature sensor in degrees F.

  • Page 95: Is_Alarm

    IS_ALARM Summary: int is_alarm(n); int n; Input number Description: The is_alarm function checks if there is an active dialout alarm on the input specified by n. This follows the unacknowledged status on the alarm, so after the alarm is ac- knowledged by someone, it is no longer considered an alarm even if the physical condition is still there.

  • Page 96: Network

    Sensaphone ® ISACC Instruction Manual NETWORK Summary: int network(n1,n2); int n1; Request number int n2; Command, 0=turn off, 1=turn on, 2=return status Description: The network function will read a value or write a value to one of the predetermined network requests (specified by n1). If the network request is an output function, then the value of n2 is the value sent to that output.

  • Page 97: Output

    OUTPUT Summary: int output(n1,n2); int n1; Output number int n2; Command, 0=turn off;1=turn on;2=return status Description: The output function will turn a digital output specified by n1 on or off, or will just read the present state of the output. It will also set the value of an analog output. The analog outputs, referred to as outputs 11 through 14, are 0 to 10V.

  • Page 98: Out_Spec

    Sensaphone ® ISACC Instruction Manual OUT_SPEC Summary: int out_spec(n); int n; Input number Description: The out_spec function checks if the value of input n is outside of the high and low alarm limits. This is without regard to alarm processing, recognition time, acknowl- edged status, dialout selection, and dialout enabling.

  • Page 99: Puts

    PUTS Summary: int puts(s); char * s; String Description: The puts function will write a string to the local RS232 port. Return value: The puts function always returns a zero. Example: This program will send the string “SHUTDOWN” followed by a carriage return, and send the string “Input 11 is 96”...

  • Page 100: Reset

    Sensaphone ® ISACC Instruction Manual RESET Summary: int reset(n); int n; Input number Description: The reset function resets the values automatically maintained by the system for an input specified by n. If the input is analog, reset resets the max and min values. If the input is a pulse counter, reset sets the pulse count to zero.

  • Page 101: Reload

    RELOAD Summary: int reload(); Description: The reload function returns the reload rate in seconds of the C program. There are no parameters. Return value: The reload rate in seconds of the C program. Example: This program will use the reload rate to update a seconds down-timer. When the timer hits zero, it will turn output number 1 on.

  • Page 102: Set_Input

    Sensaphone ® ISACC Instruction Manual SET_INPUT Summary: int set_input(n1,n2); int n1; Input number int n2; New value of input Description: The set_input function will allow you to manually set the input value for any of the 16 input channels. This is useful to get a average or some other calculated value to appear on an input channel.

  • Page 103: Arrays

    Arrays allow you to store a lot of related information in a convenient, organized fashion. An array lets you use one line of code to create a series of variables. These variables share the same basic name and are distinguished from one another by a numerical tag. Example: int count[10];...
  • Page 104 Sensaphone ® ISACC Instruction Manual The following is a step by step explanation of the program. if (oldminute != minutes) oldminute = minutes; This checks the value of minutes to see if a minute has passed. If a minute has passed, the value of oldminute is reset to the value of the new minute.
  • Page 105 6. When x reaches 60, the For loop is finished, and the average is calculated. average = total/60; 7. ISACC automatically rounds numbers down. This section of code rounds the value of average up to the next whole number according to the remainder left over during division. If the remainder is greater than 30, average is rounded up.

  • Page 106: Error Handling

    Sensaphone ® ISACC Instruction Manual When a program is compiled, it is scanned for language related errors. When an error is encountered, the word ERROR is displayed followed by the error type, and line number. The line number may not be the exact line that contains the error. Sometimes an error is detected a line or two after the actual mistake.

  • Page 107: Differences Between Standard C And Isacc C

    DIFFERENCES BETWEEN STANDARD C AND ISACC C For those of you who are familiar with C programming, note that there are some differences between standard C and ISACC’s C compiler. The following items will be helpful to be aware of: With ISACC C, every IF, ELSE, FOR, DO, and WHILE must have a set of brackets {} after it.
  • Page 108 Sensaphone ® ISACC Instruction Manual The first program fragment uses a WHILE loop for the timing. if (input(1)==0) { output(9,1); start_time=minutes; while ((start_time+1)>minutes) { output(9,0); if (input(2)==0) { data (0,0,1,1); In this code fragment, when input 1 closes, the program will turn output 9 on, and then wait for 60 seconds without doing anything else.

  • Page 113 3. This program simply does not do what it should: int x; main() x=input(5); if (x=10) output(9,1); else output(9,0); The problem is that the statement: if (x=10) actually assigns the value of 10 to x. The key is that it uses a single equals sign ‘=’. To test a condition, use the double equals sign, ‘==’. See below: int x;...

  • Page 115: Chapter 9: Operation

    CHAPTER 9 OPERATION HOW THE UNIT WORKS ISACC monitors up to 16 universal inputs. When the status of an input changes or exceeds user-programmed limits, it causes an alarm. If the alarm condition lasts long enough to meet its programmed recognition time, ISACC will consider the alarm valid and begin a dialout to the programmed telephone numbers from a list associated with that particular alarm condition.

  • Page 116: Alarm Dialout - Data Mode

    ® Sensaphone ISACC Instruction Manual The alarm has been acknowledged and the unit will then disconnect from the telephone line. If the touch-tone code is not received, ISACC will respond by saying: "Have a good day." The alarm is not acknowledged. ISACC will continue calling the next phone number. You may call the unit back using a touch-tone telephone, PC or terminal to acknowledge the alarm.

  • Page 117: Alarm Dialout - Beeper

    ALARM DIALOUT - BEEPER When dialing to a beeper, you can program ISACC to send digits that identify itself and the input in alarm. See Chapter 7, Dialing Codes.
