Global Input to Output Linking

The purpose of this is function is to use an input device (such as a panic button), that when activated, will send a command to activate/pulse an output (such as an alarm sound or flashing lights). This is performed not by the software, but throught scripting. Please contact Senstar Support for additional help.


    1. In order to configure Global Input to Output Linking, you must create a text file in Notepad and place it within the Remotepath/Data folder of the SymphonyAC installation directory with the following filename: "ControlPoint<Driver ID>.ini"
    2. The contents of the file should contain the Monitor Point that triggers the relay as the section header in brackets, followed by the relay command properties:
      [Monitor Point Address] Command= 1==off, 2==on, 3==single pulse, or 4==relay(s) follow state of input (for ACP/inBIO controllers)
      Address= Control Point Address to link to when the Monitor Point goes active ON_Time= used for command 3 or 4 OFF_Time= used for command 4 only with Aero Repeat_Count= used for command 4 only with Aero
      • Example Below is a sample ControlPoint2.ini file.  The 2 in the filename represents that this file will be used by driver 2.  The example below will momentarily activate control point 2.3.6.O12 for 5 seconds anytime monitor point 2.0.4.I6 goes active.  Notice that these 2 points are on different controllers.

        [2.0.4.I6] Command=3
        Address=2.3.6.O12 ON_Time=5 OFF_Time=0 Repeat_Count=0
         
      •  Multi-Relay Example To activate multiple relays from a single input point, simply index the Address property with a numeric ID.  Please note that the numeric IDs must be continuous order without gaps:

        [2.0.4.I6] Command=3
        Address=2.3.6.O12 ON_Time=5 OFF_Time=0 Repeat_Count=0
        Address1=2.3.6.O13
        Address2=2.3.6.O14
        Address3=2.3.6.O15
        Address4=2.3.6.O16

        The example above will pulse relays (12 - 16) for 5 seconds when input 6 goes active.
