  • Page 12: Output Strings

    Output strings The ‘Output Strings’ tab is where you can define one or more message strings that need to be sent to the connected device, when prompted by certain iCANnet actions. Once defined, you can then use the related ‘Output Actions’ page to link iCANnet actions to the defined string message(s).
  • Page 13: Output Actions

    In operation, when a received iCANnet action then matches the pa- rameters defined within this page, the SI-2 unit will send the message string (from the Output Strings page) that corresponds to the row number (01, 02, 03, etc.) of the matched action on this page.
  • Page 14: Sequences

    Note: Sequence numbers monitored from 1 to 16 within the ‘Output Actions’ page coincide with the sequences that may be programmed within the SI-2 unit itself. If a sequence number below 17 is monitored to cause an output action and is also used as an SI-2-contained se- quence, then both events will take place simultaneously.
