Automation Nodes
Automation Node represents virtual object which can be used for advanced control of Outputs which can be
used to control external devices/systems. The node can be activated by Input, Function Key or Local
Command.
Area General
Text box Name – enables to name the point.
Parameter Group – enables to assign node to previously created Automation Node Group.
Text box LCD Message – enables to specify node’s name which will be used on display.
Parameter Keypad Shortcut – enables to select key which will correspond to the node when interactive
options are applied.
Text box Description – enables to enter custom description for the node.
Area Triggering Options
Parameter Default Time – specifies default activation time of the node.
Parameter Default Delay – specifies default delay for node activation.
Option Activation Extending – when the option is enabled then input functions [162] and [167] can be used
to extend activation of node by the time specified respectively with parameters Default Time and Parametric
Time if the remaining time for node deactivation is lower than mentioned parameters. When node activation
is extended then Default Time and Parametric Time parameters are not applied.
Area Additional Options
Parameter Default State – specifies default state of the node when it is not activated by function. Available
values:
 ON – by default node is switched on.
 OFF – by default node is switched off.
Parameter Activity Schedule – enables assignment of schedule to specify when node can be triggered. It
requires earlier defining of General Purpose Maintained type Schedule.
Area Events
Option Register event when node is switched ON – when the option is enabled then node switching on
will generate an event in the system.
Parameter Node ON Event – enables to indicate what event is generated in the system when the node is
switched on. It could be default event [657] or any other administrator defined event.
Option Register event when node is switched OFF – when the option is enabled then node switching off
will generate an event in the system.
Parameter Node OFF Event – enables to indicate what event is generated in the system when the node is
switched off. It could be default event [658] or any other administrator defined event.
Tab Inputs
The tab is available when an Automation Node is created and it enables to assign Input(s) to the node. Input
parameters and functions are listed within the description of Input objects.
Tab Outputs
The tab is available when an Automation Node is created and it enables to assign Output(s) to the node.
Output parameters and functions are listed within the description of Output objects.
Tab Function Keys
The tab is available when an Automation Node is created and it enables to assign Function Key(s) to the
node. Function key parameters and functions are listed within the description of Function Key objects.
Tab Local Commands
The tab is available when an Automation Node is created and it enables to assign Local Commands to the
node. Local Command parameters and functions are listed within the description of Local Command
objects.
