Switching Application; Counters - Maretron MPOWER CLMD16 User Manual

___________________________________________________________
Each channel of the Binary Event Monitor produces three signals that are available to the Switching
Application:
Binary Event x Low – the Binary Event Monitor for channel x is in the LOW state
Binary Event x Float – the Binary Event Monitor for channel x is in the FLOAT state
Binary Event x High – the Binary Event Monitor for channel x is in the HIGH state
The CLMD16 contains a variety of combinatorial and sequential logic elements to allow the
construction of control applications. These logic elements can be connected and configured in a
wide variety of ways to create a wide variety of control applications.
The CLMD16 switching application contains eight instances of a counter function.
Each counter may be configured in one of the following modes:
• Active High – The counter increments or decrements as long as the increment
or decrement input signal is in a high state (connected to DC (+))
• Active Low – The counter increments or decrements as long as the increment
or decrement input signal is in a low state (connected to DC (-))
• Rising Edge – The counter increments or decrements once for every rising
edge detected on the increment or decrement input signal (voltage rising)
• Falling Edge – The counter increments or decrements once for every falling
edge detected on the increment or decrement input signal (voltage lowering)
• Change Detected – The counter increments or decrements once for every rising
or falling edge detected on the increment or decrement input signal
• One Button Smooth Scroll – This mode is designed to allow one button power
and dimming control for lighting circuit. The counter operates differently in this
mode. First, the Decrement input is ignored. Second, the Counter Active output
becomes a power output for the lighting circuit. Here is how to use this mode:
Connect the button you want to control the light to the Increment input. For the
breaker(s) controlling the lighting, connect the Counter Active output as the
Input Signal, set the breaker mode to "PWM", and select the counter you are
configuring as the "PWM Counter". In this mode, a quick press of the button
(less than Hold Period) will cause Counter Active (and thus the breaker power)
to toggle state. Holding the button longer than this will cause the dimming level
to cycle from 5% to 100% and then back from 100% to 5% until you release the
button. The dimming level is remembered when you turn the circuit ON and
OFF again by quickly pressing the button.
