Rs232 Comms

R!64 does activate Response 100, we have checked that. To make sure that Response 100 is as you expect, go to Engineer  Menu 3,6 Response menu and enter 100#. This announces the action codes. Compare to the actions in the Response

I was using the edgeview.ccl file that you sent. Are you opening the same file?
The screenshot you have sent shows different response numbers
Make sure that you are using the latest Comfigurator 2.2.1. Previous versions had a bug with some Response numbers which could be causing this effect

Do a full download  with the new comfigurator version and try again

Thanks,

That fixed it.

With regards to the Response Wizard, can you include actions for :

Z? , z? , Y? , y?

Thanks

[admin]

Y?, Z? y? and z? return information about all inputs and outputs states when the command is entered on a UCM
An Action in Comfort performs a function, like turn on outputs and the like and may return a value for the next action. A single action is not appropriate if you want to get the states of all inputs, as there is no way in the action mechanism to deal with multiple values. You can use the individual actions to  get the state of any inout or output instead
I hope you know what I mean

Hi,

Let me explain, maybe there is a work around.

eg. when I toggle an output, I want to know the status of the output.

I am given to understand that the Get Value in the wizard is for wizard control (programming).

So basically I want to a Response that can do :

O?89, Z?10 etc

This can be done via RS232 but not inside a Reponse or I am mistaken ?

Currently via Rs232 I have to do :

R!64 & O?89 where R!64 toggles an output and O?89 queries one of the outputs from the response.

I would be cool if I can have O?89 as part of response R!64

Thanks

The command R! executes a Response, which is a series of Actions

The Response itself can check the status of outputs and inputs and perform other actions based on the conditions, so it can act without you getting the status on the UCM

However I guess that you want an external system or software to know the status of certain outputs or inputs

You can take advantage of the fact that Comfort will report the status of the outputs and inputs without yoi asking for them
For example, if R!64 turns on output 89hex, when you type
DA64
you will get a reply
OP8901

so that saves you the trouble of querying the outputs or inputs specifically

[dcrera]

I hear you.

This work\'s like you say that when you issue the R!64 response, the feedback from the UCm reports the status of OP89 as 00 or 01.

For a touch screen interface, when you go to a scene, I want to know the status of all outputs on the scene before displaying.

This is not a major issue since I can query an output via RS232. To save on coding time, it would be faster to issue one response to feedback ALL statuses for a specific scene.

Thanks
