Infra Interface; The Event Manager Feature - Lightware RAP-B511-EU User Manual

4. Device Concept
4.5.4. Infra Interface
Technical background
RAP-B511 contains dedicated IR in connection and is able to receive IR signal via the built-in IR detector
units. The signal is stored in hash (fingerprint)format.
With the help of the device's IR recognizer functionality you can assign actions in Event manager (for more
details, see IR Recognizer section). The second option is the command injection mode (like at
in the previous section) where you can send IR commands over LAN. Command injection mode can be
turned on and off on the input port.

INFO: All settings are available in the LDC software, see settings in the
4.6. The Event Manager Feature
The Event Manager feature means that the device can sense changes on its ports and is able to react
according to the pre-defined settings. Lightware Device Controller contains a user-friendly software tool and
allows creating Events by defining a Condition and an Action.
See more information about the settings in the
Port diagram of the IR interface

DIFFERENCE:

The AND Operator
The practical experience has shown that there is a need to examine more conditions (up to four) as follows:
if one of the set conditions becomes true (while the other conditions are fulfilled), then the set Action is
launched. For example, in a meeting room we have the following situation:
Serial Interface
▪ Signal is present on an input port,
A GPIO pin state becomes 'low' (by an external device).
▪
If the two Conditions are present at the same time, the Action is launched. Just create the two Conditions into
separate Events, then create a third Event, select the two Conditions and define the Action.
See the Combine Links
Event Manager Variables
A brand new area is opened by implementing the variables. You can create custom variables (max. 30 pcs.)
in number or text format which can be used in the Event Manager. The variables can have the following
properties/methods:
▪ Numeric (integer) type with min/max value setting, or string-type (the type is set automatically)
Increment/step the numeric value,
▪
Value-dependent case operations,
▪
▪ Reading and storing the value of an LW3 property into a string or a numeric variable.
The defined variables are stored in a non-volatile memory and the value is kept in case of a reboot. The
new opportunities allow creating a monitoring/controlling system without connecting an additional control
processor.
See the Variables
Condition Trigger
This improvement in the Event Manager works as if a condition is detected. When a complex control system
is built, a Condition may trigger numerous Actions. A typical example is when a system is powered on and
the 'ready-to-use' state has to be loaded. In this case, there could be many actions which are based on the
same condition. In order to reduce the number of the commands, you can trigger one 'key' condition, which
could start the whole process. See the
Below mentioned features are available from FW package v1.1.0b3.
