  Programming the HIO
Posted by: admin - 12-24-2016, 01:17 PM - Forum: Hotel Room Logic Controller - Replies (4)

Use the Comfigurator software version 3.11.10 or above to configure HIO01. The software can be downloaded from  https://www.cytech.biz/comfigurator.html
One of the following equipment is needed to configure HIO01;

  • UCM/LOGIC with plug in ETH03 or USB interface. UCM/Logic is a controller and UCM on one product.
  • Logic Engine LGX01 with UCM/USB or UCM/ETH03
  • Comfort CP9000 with UCM/USB or UCM/ETH03
Run Comfigurator, go to the Modules Tab and right-click on the HIO folder as shown below.


“Scan for HIOs” to detect any HIOs in the network if the IDs is set correctly without any conflict with other HIOs.

“Add HIO” allows you to manually add an HIO if not currently connected to Comfort, i.e. when doing programming off-line.

The result of scanning or adding a HIO  is shown below for HIO Id 1. The new HIO is seen on the middle and right panes.




IN HIO Properties on the right;
  • “ID” is the ID of the HIO from 1 to 15
  • “Name” is any text description for the HIO used to identify it.
  • “Type” is the HIO Type, HIO01
  • “Version” is the HIO firmware version which in this example shows 7.000. If the HIO was manually added instead of being scanned, the firmware information will not appear.
  • “Latest Version” is the latest release version available when internet connection is present.
  • “Serial Number” is the electronic serial number of  the HIO, if any.

In the middle pane, “Status” shows the status of the HIO. It is ‘Polled’ when the HIO is detected and matches the number of HIOs programmed in the system. ‘Not Polled’ will be displayed when the HIO is detected by scanning but the number of HIOs programmed is less than the HIO Id. ‘Not Found’ is shown when the HIO is added to Comfigurator but is not connected to the controller when scanning is done.
Click on the HIO01 text below the HIO folder to show the HIO configuration screen shown below;





[size=\"3\"]Menu Bar[/size]
The  menu items are; Write to HIO01, Read from HIO01, Reset to Default,  Get Status. Save Template, Load Template

Write to HIO01
This writes the tables into the HIO

Read from HIO01
This reads the data from HIO and displays  the data on screen

Reset to Default
This  clears all the data in the tables  to default, but does not write any data to HIO.

Get Status
The Get status button causes the HIO status to be shown on the status bar on bottom left, for example,
\"Normal/No error\"

When the cursor is moved away from the HIO screen, Get status is automatically turned off, and when the cursor is on the HIO screen the get status function is turned on if Comfigurator is logged in.

Cytech\'s new HIO01 Hotel Room Controller is our new product for the hotel sector, making use of our automation technology in a new application.

The HIO01 is a Hotel Room Logic Controller to be used with electronic switches and relays for control of lights and appliances. It can be connected to ELV (Extra Low voltage) switches  with push buttons with or without leds and can implement energy saving functions.






Highlights

  • 16 Programmable I/O channels for ELV Switches linked to 16 Outputs which can be connected to  HIO-RLY1 Relay module
  • LEDs on the ELV switches can be dimmed when in the off state.
  • 2 x 0-10V outputs for dimming lights.
  • Energy Saving Features:  Room Occupancy detection, Open Door Courtesy Light, Toilet Occupancy,  Window/Aircon Linkage
  • Programmable Timers for Occupancy, Courtesy,  Keycard off, window/aircon linkage.
  • Optional temperature sensing.
  • Programmable Scenes: Welcome, Master On/off, 4 Scenes, Courtesy Light, Toilet Occupancy
  • HIO-RLY 8-way 6A relay modules for easy connection.
  • Programmable by Comfigurator, including Firmware upgrading
  • Can be interfaced to other lighting/control systems, like KNX, Cbus, Modbus, Z-Wave

Specifications - HIO
  • 16 programmable I/O channels for Extra Low Voltage (ELV) switches linked to 16 Open-colector Outputs. Each channel is a dual function input and output which can drive an indicator LED and switch button at the same time.
  • Each of the 16  Open collector Outputs follows the state of the corresponding channel number.
  • Plug in Connector to Relay Board 8 x 230V rated 6 A relays each so there is no need to wire outputs to the relays.
  • 0-10V output x 2 (used to control lighting)
  • RS485 interface – This is a slave port polled by a master controller. ID 1 to 15
    Power supply 12 V DC
  • 3.3V/5V  power supply (alternate voltage regulator)
  • 4 x ID Dip Switches for ID

  Best way to do this?
Posted by: Ian - 12-21-2016, 07:04 PM - Forum: Zwave - Replies (4)

I have a Comfort II with zman3.My main zwave network is controlled by HomeSeer.
My front door has a wired open/close sensor direct to Comfort. It works fine and I can trigger responses within Comfort.
I want to be able to use the front door opening to trigger responses via zwave in the HomeSeer system.
I set up a virtual input in Comfort using HomeSeer as the primary controller.
I then set up two responses, open and close. The responses are \'VirtualInput VirtualFrontDoor On (and off). I have set these as the on and off response for the input that is real front door
When I open the real Front door the virtual front becomes \'active\' in Comfort but when I close the door it remains active!
So is the way I am trying to achieve what I want the best way?
And - what would be the best zone type to set the virtual input to?
Cheers

  Play announcemnt only
Posted by: ianh100 - 12-19-2016, 06:39 PM - Forum: Door Station Problems - Replies (1)

Hi, I have a nice Xmas message that I play at my door station during December. I would like the door station to only play this and not make the door bell sound. I cant work out how to do so.

I was assuming I could adjust with a siren or sound type but no matter what I try I still get a door station siren when the intercom is pushed.

What can I do to disable the door bell standard sounds?

  Communication failure after "Write Selective"
Posted by: richylloyd - 12-19-2016, 05:42 AM - Forum: Problems & Troubleshooting - Replies (7)

Hi, Hope someone can assist with a simple fix...
I wrote some updated responses to the system tonight and I am no longer able to connect due to a UCM communication failure.For the write selective, I deselected a number of the pre-selected options as it was a very minor response change which should not have influenced any of the other options.
I now cannot connect from Comfigurator via Eth02 - although I can successfully ping the UCM.Keypads are just showing their respective ID\'s with the green light flashing.
I have hard reset the system a few times but with no improvement.
Many thanks in advance...

  cant connect to comfort via app or comfigurator
Posted by: wexfordman - 12-15-2016, 05:04 AM - Forum: Ethernet UCM/ETH03 - Replies (11)

Hi,
Just happened tonight, after I uploaded a new config file, but nohtin exceptionally new that I would have expected this to happen.
Anyway, comofort is working away, able to arm, its controlling lights etc fine, but I cannot connect.
I have an eth03, it is detectable, the app shows connected, but after i enter pwd, nothing happens.
Comfigurator shows, unable to connect to ucm, even though server manager can detect the ucm.
Latest firmare (2.2) on eth03 has been there for months.
Regards,Eamon

  Domi Lite / Bye Bye Standby
Posted by: palmlodge - 12-12-2016, 10:33 PM - Forum: Universal UCM - Replies (1)

I\'ve been looking at alternatives to my defunct RFXCom controller which is no longer made, and I\'ve found the following info for the \'online controller\' for Bye Bye Standby modules (also known as Domia Lite) which are relatively cheap.
Do we think the Ethernet/UCM would be able to control this?

The online controller listens on port 53006 for UDP broadcast packets. The message syntax is:
D:nXYY:E
Where n = 0 for off, 1 for on. 
X = Address Letter (A-P) 
YY = 2 digit Address Number (01-16)
Eg D:1A01:E turns A1 on.
