Example 3: Control a Binary Output on the MP503 from a MP581

This example shows an nvi on the MP503 being bound, which allows a binary output on the MP503
to be controlled by another device on the LonTalk network. In this example, binary output 1 on the
MP503 is starting and stopping an exhaust fan. The MP503 is communicating via the LonTalk
network to a MP581 that is controlling an AHU. The AHU and the exhaust fan follow the same
schedule; for example, whenever the AHU runs, the exhaust fan runs.
Bind an nvo on the MP581 to an nvi on the MP503 so the AHU and exhaust fan run together.

Custom programming is required to display this data on the operator display of
Tracer MP581 #2. Remember that the outside air humidity is being transmitted over
the network in units of mA. Some custom programming is required in Tracer MP581
#2 to convert the humidity from units of mA to units of percent (%) before performing
the enthalpy calculation.
