EDO - External Data Output

EDO (External Data Output) is an user definable ASCII HEX protocol intended for CCTV control etc.

EDO is controlled from the Event Handler where it can be configured to send free text merged with parameters for the active stations. Up to four EDO ports can be defined.

Add EDO port number as an optional parameter before the text EDO 3 ”This goes to port 3” EDO 1 ”text” is equivalent to EDO ”text”

The $PUT DP message already have port parameter because $PUT 3 is EDO port 1. This is followed up by $PUT 4 (EDO port 2) $PUT 5 (EDO port 3) $PUT 6 (EDO port 4)

Syntax

EDO "free text"                      - sends free text on the EDO port 1
EDO 1 "free text"                    - sends free text on the EDO port 1
EDO 2 "Door A2 open\x0D\x0A"         - sends Door A2 open including CR + LF on the EDO port 2
EDO 3 "Door A2 opened by %1.dir\r\n" - sends Door A2 opened by 101 including CR + LF on the EDO port 3 when 
                                       station 101 presses "6" and activates the door opening event
EDO 4 "\x02free text\x03"            - sends <STX> + free text + <ETX> on the EDO port 4 
                                       (STX = ASCII hex 02 and ETX = ASCII hex 03)

Example

EDO 2 "Door A2 open \x0D\x0A" 
Output: Door A2 open +CR+LF
