Group to trigger page on c-touch

Hi All,

Quik description- I have a bus couplar conected to a water level senser in a lift shaft. once level rises to high sensor closes giving singnal to b-couplar. when group activated (bus couplar) it needs to trigger a page on the colour c-touch's (x 4). The page even if reset should reactivate after x time if group still on.Also if possible to create some type of flashing on page.

Any advice?

 

Component Activation via C-Bus & Repeat Schedules

Hi,

To trigger the page initially, use a component set to Page Link, then enable Component Activation via C-Bus on the component's Remote Control tab and select the Bus Coupler GA. This will get the C-Touch to display your page when the group changes, the only complication being that this component will need to be present on all pages if you want the page happen to change from anywhere within the project. Its not exactly graceful, but i can't think of a better way atm - a small hidden/transparent component should do the job.

To get the page to display regularly, create a schedule which is Enabled by the Bus coupler GA. Set the time to Repeat every x time, starting at 00:00:00 and ending at 23:59:59. Set the event to Page Link. When the bus coupler sets the GA this schedule will be enabled and will regularly set you back to the page you want.

Thinking about the first step, if you don't want to have a hidden component on each page you could do it with a logic module with:
Once(Bus Coupler GA = ON)
PageLink(MyPAge)

Hope that helps!
Mark.

 

I would do something like this:

Code:

if GetLightingState("Sensor Group") then
begin
  ShowPage("Alarm Page");
  delay(60);
end;

It will select the alarm page as soon as the sensor goes off, and then re-select the page every 60 seconds after that.

To display something flashing, use a component on the alarm page with an animated image. Some samples can be found in C:\Clipsal\PICED\Image Library\Animated
