4. Device Concept
4.1. General Concept
Room automation panel is designed for advanced control functions. Industrial standard communication
interfaces (RS-232, Ethernet, GPIO, IR) ensure the compatibility with third-party units or Lightware products.
They make automating the whole AV system in a huddle room possible.
Customizing the control functions can be done by making connections between the proper inputs (triggers
or conditions) and the desired outputs (actions). These settings can be done from a computer using the
Software Control - Lightware Device Controller
details see LW3 Programmers' Reference
Inputs may come from:
▪ The Room Automation Panel by pushing (or releasing) the button, turning or pushing the rotary switch.
Real-Time Clock (e.g. when the local time is equal 12:00 the action is executed).
▪
Other incoming signals: detected IR codes, recognized RS-232 messages, GPIO level changes.
▪
Outputs can be the followings:
▪ Button LEDs of the Room Automation Panel.
▪ Send messages (or signals) to the other device: RS-232 message sending, TPC/UDP message
sending, GPIO output state changing.

RAP-B511 series – User's Manual
4.2. Inputs 1. - User Interactions
The operation of the RAP-B511 series is based on user interactions such as button press, or turn the rotary.
These are the main triggers (or inputs) of the control functions. They can be quickly and easily customize in
UI Config Menu
4.2.1. Buttons
The RAP-B511 has 11 configurable buttons, and two main button
states are defined: Pressed and Released.
Operation mode is an attribution of the button, which declares the button
behavior when it is pressed or released. Three different operation
modes are available: momentary, toggle and radio group (1-5).
The chosen operation mode defines how the interaction state changes
when the button is pressed or released (see the details about it in
the table on the right). The true or false value of the interaction state triggers the button LED function and the
desired action.
Momentary operation mode
Simple button function, when the button is pressed, the action will be executed.
Example: Roll down the shades with keeping the button pressed. When the button is released, the shades stop.
Explanation: When the button is pressed, the interaction state changes true, when the button is released, the
Button LEDs
interaction state changes false.
Toggle operation mode
This button type toggles between two states.
RS-232 Example: Turn on and off the light with one button.
Explanation: When the button is pressed, the interaction state changes true, when the button is released, the
sending
interaction state does not change. When the button is pressed once again, the interaction state changes false.
Radio group operation mode
GPIO
It defines the assigned radio group of the button. One button can belong to one group at the same time. Five
groups are available, one group may contain max. 11 buttons.
Example: Select video input on a crosspoint or switcher. One input can be active at the same time.
Ethernet
Explanation: When the button is pressed, the interaction state changes true and the interaction state of the
other group members are false. When the button is released, the interaction state does not change.
