2. Let's give it some descriptive words...
SET OUTON 0 Start Genset
SET OUTOFF 0 Release Starter
SET OUTON 1 Stop Genset
SET OUTOFF 1 Release Genset
3. So, to start the generator remotely, all I need to send is :
OUT 0 ON , and to bring it to a stop...
OUT 1 ON
4. To let John Smith (in CLI #4) know what's happening with the generator (on relays 0 & 1)...
SET OUTSMS 4 01
Now, just to use up the extra input #1 of the ControlMate, let's add a wall switch to start & stop the
generator... the switch must be held for 2 seconds before the generator will be started, but will
shut-down immediately the switch is opened.
A good example for using an N/O switch I this case - to ensure a broken wire doesn't start the
generator!
1. Wire up the switch in N/O mode to input #0
SET INO 0
2. Wait 2 seconds before acting on the switch going 'on'
SET ONDEL 0 2 secs
But make sure the off delay is immediate
SET OFFDEL 0 0
3. We want the switch ON to start the engine on output 0, but to stop the engine with output 1
SET oncmd 0 out 0 on
SET offcmd 0 out 1 on
The outputs will look after their own pulse timing etc.
Now one last thing...
The generator needs a 5–second pulse to start, but could be running earlier than that...
4. If it raises the 'running OK' indicator attached to input #1
– we can release the start pulse sooner than the 5-second pulse duration.
Friendly names...
SET INON 1 Running OK
SET INOFF 1 Not running
5. When input #1 goes true, we can turn the starter #2 off early... (without touching the 'stop'
output)
SET oncmd 1 out 2 off
