Controlling Functions (Starting and Stopping)
For a function to start performing the actions that it is programmed for you must start the function. This is
achieved by selecting the Start or Stop function by right-clicking the particular function.
Functions cannot be programmed if they are running and a message warning the user that the function can be
viewed only. To edit the function you must stop the function and then proceed with programming.
i
If the function is running and changes are made to the function the system will not save these to the
programmed function.
Type Of Function
The type of function that is programmed will determine the operation that this function will perform. This will also
determine the programming screens that follow in each of the sub sections as the programming of functions
can contain many features and options dependent on this selection.
FN001 Func Type
None
Use the [1] and [3] keys to scroll the function types and press [ENTER] to select the function type displayed. For
more information about the list control data entry refer to the section List Control Data Entry (see page 344).
The following table includes a complete explanation of each function type that is programmable in the Protege
System.
Function Type
None
Logic Control
Area Control
Description
The function will perform no actions and controls no resources. This function can not be
started or halted.
Performs logic operations on Programmable Outputs. Can be used to AND, OR, XOR,
FOLLOW, NOT FOLLOW the programmable outputs and activate a programmable
output as a result of function. When using logic control that will follow a status the
system will activate the associated output as a result of the logic function however if the
output is changed from the state it will be updated 30 seconds later, this prevents
endless loops from occurring while still ensuring an output will result in it being
maintained.
Can be used to arm or disarm an area based on the status of a PGM output. This can
only check the area status in follow mode every 60 seconds.
RTHP Control Use to manage a Roof Top Heat Pack air conditioning system and can operate up to 4
stages of heat and cool as well as two stages of dehumidification.
Floor Temping
Use to manage a floor tempering system with single stage heat and cool. Duct and floor
sensors inputs as well as reverse and forward operational modes.
