Hi,
When I query an output status eg O?89, I am returned with either OP8900 or OP8901 using Hyperterm.
If I query the status of an output using a Response with Get Value, I am returned a value of OK
Please explain why I am not getting either OP8900 or OP8901
Thanks Last edited on Thursday Aug 2nd, 2007 12:15 pm by slychiu

That action (Get ouput state) is meant for conditional programming and not meant for querying.

Hi,
How can I create a response that will return the status of an output ?
I am doing a touch screen interface and I want to report the status of numerous outputs.
Thanks

Doesn't the O? command work like you mentioned earlier? I would suggest that you change your program such that it would be able to handle the replies.

Hi,
The O? only works for single commands, I want to do a group using R! prefix.
Any ideas or alternatives for a group query.
Thanks again

You could make use of the Y? or y? commands instead then.

Hi,
I tried that.
I expected a flood of status feedbacks but all I got was OK.
Thanks

Could it be due to the version of the UCM/main board?

Not all UCM/Ethernet and Comfort versions support the Y? and y? commands. These were introduced at various stages over the years
Can you use the V? command (gives you Comfort version) and U? (UCM Version) and let us know what the replies are
The R! command causes Responses to be executed. Get Value of Ouput within the Response returns the value of the output to the next Action in the Response.
eg
Get Output 1
If value > 0 then...
Else
...
Endif
You can see from the above example , that it does not cause a OP reply on the UCM
Instead You can use the DA command (DO Action). DA4D 01 is Do Action 77 , 01 which means Get Output 1
This replies with RA followed by the value returned by the action, ie the value of Output 1
eg
DA4D10 (Get Output 16 - values are in hexadecimal)
RA01 (Return Value 1, meaning Output 16 is on)
I am not exactly sure what you want to achieve but I hope this is what you require

Hi,
I tried this but it amounts to sending individual commands to the Comfort.
Let me explain in more detail as to what I am looking for.
Each lighting zone(a room) can have one or many lights, using touch screen control, when I navigate to a zone, I want to see want's On or Off.
To query a zone, I would like to have a response that will query specific outputs on that zone eg O?89, O?81 etc and based on the response eg OP8901/00 I can state that the Lounge light is On or OFF.
Can you look into :
1. Query an Input or Output in a Response
2. Have a Response with raw RS232 commands
Thanks

Only the Y? command will give you all the outputs. Give us the Comfort and UCM version numbers to check if these will work for your system

Y?0000 would mean all outputs 1-64 are all off.

Hi,
I now see where we are missing each other.
The outputs I was referring to was SCS/RIO outputs.
Any alternatives in this area ?
Please help me with this bit of confusion.
On the response page/function, I have fixed all the responses numbers I would be using via the touch screen interface. But of lately after adding more responses and downloading to Comfort, the reponses numbers are not in sync.
eg sending RS232 commands for a specific response is being executed on another response.
Any thoughts on why this might be happening ?
Thanks again

If you want the output status of the RIO outputs, you should send y? and not Y? (note the lower case character) to query.
As for the wrong response being executed, what string are you sending? Note that Comfort II Ultra has 2 byte responses, so did you send to the right response?

Hi,
Thanks for clearing this one up, I will test and feed back.
With regards to the response numbers, I am pretty sure I am using the right code.
Take this example at one stage response number 100 was TV Room Lights, RS232 command sent is R!64.
If I look at my response table now, Tv Room Lights shows up fixed in response number 116
Sending R!74 is turning some other outputs on, but sending R!64 turns the Tv Room Lights on.
It would seem that the response numbers are out of sync.
Thanks

Correction to this statement
Y?0000 means that 16 outputs (1 to 16 are off)
The parameter consists of inidividual bits representing an output
eg
Y?858F means
1st byte 85 is for outputs 1 to 8, 1st byte 8F is for outputs 9 to 16
The least significant bit is the lowest numbered output
In the example
O/P 1 is ON
O/P 2 is OFF
O/P 3 is On
O/P 4 is Off
O/P 5 is Off
O/P 6 is Off
O/P 7 is Off
O/P 8 is ON
O/P 9 is ON
O/P 10 is ON
O/P 11 is On
O/P 12 is ON
O/P 13 is Off
O/P 14 is Off
O/P 15 is Off
O/P 16 is ON
There are only 16 outputs reported because there are no slaves
The command only reports outputs which exist
There is a similar command for Inputs/Zones Z? and for RIO inputs z?
I hope this makes it clearer

Thanks for that, I will play around with this and feed back soon.
Would I be able to see outputs status for all of my 12 SCS/RIO's ?
Also,
