How to toggle an AMC relay by double-clicking on a floor plan symbol

· Configure relay outputs
- assign to any AMC a new door model "DIP/DOP" containing 1 DOP (=digital output/ relay
output)
- rename the output to "realRelay"
- reload BIS and check available right-click command relay set/reset for the address
AccessEngine.Devices.realRelay.State
· Configure virtual detector
- Config Browser-> Infrastructure-> Detector types-> Virtual
· create new detector type "Relay control"
· select option "The reported states will be applied to the system without changes"
· assign command "Set state" and create a copy of it
· rename the copy of the command to "!toggle" (=fast access command) and assign Parameter State
"7-Control on"
- Config Browser-> General settings-> virtual device
· create a new virtual detector virtualRelay
· assign detector type "Relay control" to it
- If no floor plan loaded: Config Browser-> Locations-> Tree structure
· load any drawing that contains at least one hyperlink
- Config Browser-> Locations-> Detector placement
· locate the *VIRTUAL* detector virtuell.virtualRelay on any hyperlink
· Configure state update of virtual detector
- Config Browser-> General settings-> Associations
· create a new job "Toggle relais" containing:
· Trigger: Address AccessEngine.Devices.realRelay.State changed from * to *
· Then: Address virtuell.virtualRelay command Virtual.Set state (keep macro)

· Configure relay toggling if virtual detector was double-clicked
- Config Browser-> General settings-> Associations
· add to the above job "Toggle relais" a new Timer "Switch relais"
· add a new trigger to the same job
- Trigger: Address virtuell.virtualRelay changed from * to "7-Control on"
- Then: Timer "Switch relais" start with timeout 1s
· add a new trigger to the same job
- Trigger: Timer "Switch relais" changed from * to TimedOut
- IF: Address AccessEngine.Devices.realRelay.State = "4176-Relay closed"
- Then: Address AccessEngine.Devices.realRelay.State command Access Engine.Relay
set/reset with parameter 0
- ELSE: Address AccessEngine.Devices.realRelay.State command Access Engine.Relay
set/reset with parameter 1
· Check behaviour
- real relay is deactivated
- state virtualRelay in floor plan = "relay open"
- double-click virtual detector VirtualRelay in floor plan
è state changed to "7-Control on"
è after one second the real relay will be switched on
è state virtualRelay in floor plan = "relay closed"
- double-click virtual detector VirtualRelay in floor plan again
è state changed to "7-Control on"
è after one second the real relay will be switched off
è state virtualRelay in floor plan = "relay open"
· Notes:
- you may also configure customized states matching the connected hardware like "lights on"/
"lights off"/ "switching in progress" to make the handling for the operator even more easy
- you may assign a (customized) symbol to the virtual detector virtualRelay too
- Instead of a relay output any other address with two different states might be controlled too.
