Information Common to Standard and Intercom Inputs, or Outputs
Giving the Aux. Input, Intercom, or Output a Name
The Aux I/O Label field allows you to identify each I/O record with a label that is
comprised of up to three words of seven characters each with a space separating each
word. (This spacing ensures a readable display on the console program.) This label may
contain any printable character (including spaces) except commas.
Note
Setting the Aux. Input, Intercom, or Output Display Colors
The Active and Inactive Color entries are used to distinguish the ON/OFF states of the
inputs and outputs while displayed on the console screen. Active and inactive colors can
be selected from RED, GREEN, or GRAY.
Each record can be a standard input, an intercom input, or an output. For all three types,
the screen includes an Aux I/O Number, Aux I/O Label, Previous, Next, Insert, Delete,
and Done buttons. The Previous and Next buttons navigate through the existing records.
The Insert button places a new blank record in the position after the current record. The
Delete button deletes the currently displayed record. The Done button exits the Aux I/O
screen, saving the current record if all fields are entered.
Input (Standard)
When the Input (Standard) option button is selected, the screen is configured as shown in
Figure
57.
Associating the Aux. Input with a card and input number
The Aux I/O Card number and physical input number must be selected to complete a valid
entry; these correspond to the physical wiring of the Aux I/O cards. If a selected Card
number/physical input is already used, a warning message is displayed and a different
input must be chosen.
Standard inputs are represented on the console screen as simply "ON/OFF" indicators.
For Intercom inputs, to ensure the name is displayed correctly in
Chinese or Arabic, the non-Unicode name can be no longer than 10
characters.
