Configuring binary control loops - Verasys - LIT-12013364 - LC-VAC1000-0 - Smart equipment controller - Verasys Lighting Controller - 4.2

Verasys Sideloop Controller Application Note
Product name
Verasys Lighting Controller

You can configure the binary control loop strategy as an analog to binary or as a binary interlock. Different options appear depending on the configuration chosen.

To configure the control loop, complete the following steps:

Note: For binary control loop 1, the output goes to binary output 1, and so on. You can select the input for the control loop. If you enable the multistage control loop, it also uses the binary outputs based on the number of stages. This means that the multistage control loop configuration determines the number of binary control loops that you can configure.
  1. Enable the unit: Details > System Configuration > General > Unit Enable.
  2. Enable the control loop: Details > System Configuration > General > Binary Control Loop x Enable.
  3. Select the control loop strategy: Details > Binary Control Loop x > General > Binary Output Control Selector.
  4. Configure the selected control loop strategy. For more information, see the relevant section:

Configuring the analog to binary strategy

The analog to binary strategy compares an analog input source with configured limits, and determines the binary output state. You can select the analog input source and you can define the low limit, high limit, and the comparator mode.

  1. Navigate to Details > Binary Control Loop x > Analog to Binary.
  2. Select one of the following inputs: SAB based sensor, wired AI sensor, or network shared sensor.
  3. Configure the comparator mode.
  4. Configure the low limit and high limit.

For the full list of parameters and their details, see Table 33.

Configuring the binary interlock strategy

You can use the binary interlock strategy to control a binary output state according to a binary input state. You can also override the binary output state.

  1. Navigate to Details > Binary Control Loop x > Binary Interlock.
  2. Configure the interlock mode, select a binary input, and configure the delay type and the delay times.
    Note: In control mode, the binary output changes its state according to the selected binary input.

For the full list of parameters and their details, see Table 34.
