Linking Inputs to Outputs
In the previous steps we've set up Output Types and Trigger types. We now need to link actual inputs to
actual outputs. To link an input to an output, we need to do the following:
1. Set up the actual Alarm Output Points on a device that supports outputs (CIB, GPIO module).
Each Alarm Output Point must use an Output Display Table (that has an Action set in it).
2. Set up the actual input points (receivers, alarm input points, etc.) that will trigger the Output
Actions. Each Input Point must use an Input Display Table that has one or more Triggers in it.
3. Link the actual input point to the actual output point.
The Input Display Table in step 2 must point to the Output Display Table in step 1.
(Although we refer to Input Display Tables and Output Display Tables, they are not specifically
identified as such in the program – they are all Display Tables. The difference is that Input Display
Tables have Triggers and Output Display Tables have Actions.)
Setting up the Links
In this section, it is assumed that you have already:
•
Set up the appropriate Input Modules (CIBs, AIBs, GPIO modules) in the Hardware window,
•
Named the input points (receivers, alarm inputs, etc.) in the Receiver window,
•
Selected an appropriate Input Display Table for each of the Input Points,
•
Set up the appropriate Output Modules (CIBs, GPIO Modules, etc.) in the Hardware window,
•
Named the Output Points (Alarm relays, etc..) in the Receiver window,
•
Selected an appropriate Output Display Table for each of the Output Points
1. Start in the Receiver window.
Double click in Link To Output field for an input point.
