+--- Thread: Operation and integration of two gates (/thread-829.html)
- garym999 - 10-16-2007
I have a client that has two gates on thier drive, both equipped with intercoms that we are planning to wire to 2 DM02\'s. Each gate is controlled by a pulse to the controller and we were thinking of linking this to the relays on the DM02s.
How do we control the relays on the 2 DM02\'s? and how are they picked up on the phone menu?
The client needs to be able to open the top gate or lower gate quickley via the phone. Also we need to override the DM02 relays to provide timed opening and closing for rubbish collection etc.
Any pointers?

The Action Open Door (in Output Tab) allows you to control the 2 relays on DM02
The syntax is
action 200, id, door, duration
Duration is the time in 100 ms units for the pulse.
Value of 0 means close and 255 means Open
If <duration> is missing, use the default value, 10 (1 second)
However it has just been discovered that Comfigurator allows selection of a UCM ID only (17 to 24) instead of a Door Station ID (49 to 51)
As a workaround, create the response using a UCM ID, Edit Action Codes and manually change to a Door Station ID
Comfigurator complains and flags an error but does not alter the action codes
Open Door
====================================
Invalid UCM Number 49
200,49,1, 0, 255
I havent tried to download as I am not connected at the moment
The Response is used in the Misc Events > Open Door Response or Open Gate Response
When these events are programmed with a non-zero response, you will her
Press 4 for Gate
or
Press 7 for Door
This shall be documented in the DM02 manual presently

I had seen the \"open door\" output but could not see the link to DM02 address. Your explanation covers that.
I guess I now need to create a response to recall the DM02 ID and then open the appropriate gate.
Can I latch the DM02 relays? IE keep them on for longer periods? The client needs to be able to leave the gates open (contacts close) for hours at a time. If not I guess I just need to use a regular outputs instead

Yes, to latch open or close, use a value of 0 for close and 255 for open for the Duration parameter
