  • Page 31: Node Control (Request/Grant/Deny)

    Node Control (Request/Grant/Deny) Functionality overview As per Section 4.16.1 of the ULC standard the Voice Alarm Feature (Paging), the phone system and some manual control switches should only be operated from one location at any given time. In a multi-node setup, this is accomplished by having a display and control centre take over control of the system.
  • Page 32 Configuring a switch for Node Control: User is responsible for selecting which features shall be locked when a node is not in control. This is done by adding the ER flag to the switches for these features - see Loop Detail.
  • Page 33 Requesting control Scenario 1: Idle System Example: The system is Idle and a user on Node 1 wishes to access a function which is restricted by Node Control. The user presses the local Telephone/Page Selector switch that has been correlated with Node 1. Since the system is idle, control is granted automatically. The LEDs correlated with Node 1 control illuminate steadily everywhere on the network and Node 1 has control of the system and access to all functions restricted by Node Control.
  • Page 34 When the system is not idle control has to be explicitly granted to the requesting node by the node currently in control. Sequence of operation: User presses the switch correlated to the node he is at • o Transfer of control is requested o Green LEDs start blinking to indicate that a node is requesting control Note: There is a timer which is started when a node requests control.
  • Page 35 Example: The user at Node 3 has control of the system and is finished using the functions that are restricted by Node Control. The user wishes to automatically grant control to the next user who needs it, so the user presses the local Telephone/Page Selector switch that is correlated with Node 3 (the LED of which is illuminating steadily).
  • Page 36 o Green LEDs of the granted node stop blinking and turn ON solid o Green LEDs of the previously in control node extinguish Example: Node 1 has control, and a user on Node 3 wishes to access a function which is restricted by Node Control.
  • Page 37 Degraded: In a multi-node setup a cluster of nodes can get disconnected from the rest of the system if the communication links are broken. When that happens, the nodes in each group enter degraded mode of operation. Following Figure shows two clusters of nodes that were initially part of the same system.
  • Page 38 granted when requested at that node. Node 2 continues to hold control since it is still connected to nodes 1,3 and 4. Scenario 6: Disconnected node is currently in control 5-Node system • Node 5 is in control • Node 2 gets disconnected - refer to the Figure A group of nodes in degraded •...

  • Page 39: Node Grouping

    LED states meaning: OFF – normal • Solid - degraded • Blinking - standalone • Naturally, the LED will not accurately indicate the condition (for example degraded vs. standalone) of a node that is not in communication with the node the LED is located on. Node Grouping Node grouping is a way of isolating nodes from each other.

  • Page 42 Audio Message Composer dialog User can define the number of repetitions in the Repeat count edit box (editable only for loops). Repeat forever (Repeat count = 0) should be used with care. If there are following clips, they will never be played. Repeat count value is auto populated in the loop node property upon typing in the edit box.

  • Page 61 Using this dialog the user can compose an equation to be applied to a local, dummy input zone. The input zone is then correlated, using regular IO corrs, to the output which is ultimately the object of the equation. This is done by specifying any number of local and remote inputs zones, local input circuits, timers and intervals (operands) and boolean expressions (operators).
  • Page 62 01-00-L2-SM-005 , 01-00-L2-SM-006 , 01-00-L2-SM-007 , 01-00-L2-SM-008 , 01-00-L2-SM- 009 , 01-00-L2-SM-010 , 01-00-L2-SM-011 ) Associate an equation with a dummy input and then reference that input in several equations attached to outputs. In this example zone 3 will be TRUE if smoke detectors 5, 6 and 7 are active.
  • Page 63 The equation 01-00-02-IN-001:A is true only when this input device is in alarm. • If you do not apply a Device Status to an input, any change in the input's status results in the equation becoming true. For example, the equation 01-00-02-IN-002 (a single input device with no Device Status) is true whenever this input device changes status.
  • Page 64 The remaining columns are the Node, Type and Tag of the input. It is highly recommended that Tags be assigned to all zones and devices intended for use in Advanced Logic for clarity sake. The circuit, timer or switch can be simply tested for TRUE and FALSE, or a particular Device Status can be tested.
