Panel/Key setting

There are three different colors of keys in the panel set of PS-WP. Add a key action to action list, then add events to this action, make this action will execute the events.
Here take programmable control panels-V for example, to introduce the uses of different buttons:

1. White keys: keys 1-8, correspond to the buttons on the programmable control panel. Click the key, it will pop up dialog as below:

When select the type “Toggle”, the setting interface is as below:

The toggle class is the action loop class, depends on the numbers of looped actions. When the class is 2, there are two actions in the toggle. And so on.

• Key Action Type：
• Press: Execute events when press button.
• Release: Execute events when release button.
• Page: Built-in most 4 actions, actions need to be switched by other buttons, press to execute.
• Toggle: Built-in most 4 actions, actions will loop run when press. Actions can also be switched by other buttons, press to execute.

1. Blue Keys: Keys 9-32, all are virtual keys, used in the loop function. When use the loop function, the ID must be set, the ID can be 1 to 99. Press “add” will add the button to action list.

1. Yellow Keys: Keys 33-36, all are virtual keys. Key 33 and 34 are for I/O control, which is not supported with the programmable control panel. Key 36 is a start action, if add events to this action, when the programmable control panel is power on, it will execute the events in this action. Key 35 is delay button, there are three time slots can be set. See in the picture below:

The time is counted from the programmable control panel start. When come to time1, the programmable control panel will execute the events in time1. Then recount from time2, and then time3.
Example: Set time1 to 5 minutes, and time2 to 3 minutes, add event1 to time1 and event2 to time2. When the unit starts, it will execute event1 after 5 minutes, and then execute event2 after 8 minutes.

Action list

Action list shows all the set actions. An available action must be added to the list. The action list is as the picture below:

Event setting

3. The IR can set the carrier on/off, to turn on/turn off the IR sending.

I/O Setting

Note: There is no I/O port in the programmable control panel, so the setting is not introduced in this manual.

Relay Setting

This item is for the replay ports setting. The setting is as the picture below:

Delay setting

This item is to set a delay time, user can add a delay between two events; so when one event is finished, it will delay a certain time then start another event. The delay setting is as picture below:

Compare Setting

This item is used for compare the feedback of RS232 commands. When the programmable control panel send a RS232 command to the controlled device, the device will send back a feedback. If we add the correct feedback in the data, the programmable control panel will compare it with the feedback received from controlled device, to verify the command is work or not. The compare setting is as the picture below:

1) The send port must be selected as the same as model setting, otherwise the event cannot be added. And port 1 cannot be used for compare, for there is no a receive pin in this port.
2) User can set the event name; it is optional function, not necessary.
3) For the events in one event list have priority, from top to bottom, so that the compare function can be used in action which with three or more events. When send a serial command, we can add a compare then other events. If the compare is incorrect, the event behind compare will not be executed.

Enter the compare commands, don’t miss any character.

LED setting

This item is used for set the button LEDs in the programmable control panel to turn on/off. The setting is as below:

Page setting

White buttons can be set to type “page” that include four actions. To change different actions, it will need other white buttons to active the page action number. Here take an example to show you the use of this function:
1) Take button1 for example: click key1 and select the action type “page”, add the four actions to the action list. Then add other four buttons “press” action to the list (here take keys 5-8 for example):

2) In event setting, we add four different events to the four page actions of key1, and the four other keys will be added the page event to each of them as below:

Then set the “page” event to make four “press” actions to active the four page number: key5-num1, key6-num2, key7-num3 and key8-num4. It will perform like this:

• When press the button5 and then button1, the button1 will execute the event of num1, press button1 more times it will execute num1 more times;
• When press the button6 and then button1, the button1 will execute the event of num2, press button1 more times it will execute num2 more times;

• When press the button7 and then button1, the button1 will execute the event of num3, press button1 more times it will execute num3 more times;
• When press the button8 and then button1, the button1 will execute the event of num4, press button1 more times it will execute num4 more times.
