Adding additional relay(s) to a Zenitel IP Device

From Zenitel Wiki

Revision as of 21:48, 4 April 2013 by Asle (talk)

The Turbine Compact series has 6 I/O's which when set as outputs can be used together with the conventional Multi Relay Board (MRBD) to give up to 6 additional Normal Open or Closed contacts.

All 6 relays on the MRBD are double pole, double throw (DPDT) contacts.

Requirements

  • The Turbine station must be produced no earlier than week 37 of 2012.
  • The Turbine Station must have sw version TCIS-3.0.3.3 or newer.

MRBD Configuration

MRBD Jumper Settings

The MRBD has 6 jumpers (S1-S6) which allows to set the relays individually to be used for AlphaCom RCO or the older TouchLine method. Default the MRBD comes with the jumpers set for AlphaCom RCO usage.

When a relay is used with Turbine, the associated jumper must be set to "TouchLine"


See MRBD - Relay Board for more details on the Multi Relay Board.

Connection

The MRBD need 24VDC to operate. This power can be retrieved from AlphaCom Audio Servers XE7, XE20 and XE26 (the latter with additional PDB).

  • Connect the 0V from the Turbine Compact to the GND on the MRBD
  • Connect the I/O('s) from the Turbine Compact to the Input(s) on the MRBD


See TCIS Connections for more details on Turbine Compact connections.

Turbine Configuration

TKIS-MRBD-1.png

The Turbine is configured as normal to function with the AlphaCom. In addition the I/O's used with the MRBD must be set to Outputs.

Log on to the Turbine station and navigate to Advanced AlphaCom -> I/O Settings.

Set the I/O('s) that are connected to the MRBD as Output.


See TCIS Configuration for more details on configuring the Turbine Compact.

AlphaPro

TKIS-MRBD-2.png

The Turbine Compact station (or TKIS-2 Kit) must be defined in AlphaPro as a CCoIP station.

RCO

In Exchange&System->RCO select a free RCO and press change. Set RCO Type to Station. In the Station field enter the physical number of the Turbine Compact. In the Pin Number field enter the output to be controlled by that RCO.

Events

The RCO's are controlled using the Event Handler. Here are three practical examples:


TKIS-MRBD-5.png
1: Controling the door lock
RCO 34 controls output 1 on the Turbine Compact. When this event is triggered relay 1 on the MRBD is activated for 3.5 seconds.

2: Activating a rotating lamp on incoming call
This event triggers when someone is calling the Main Guard which is in Private Mode. It will activate RCO 35, which is physically output 2 on the TKIS-2 with physical number 33. This output controls relay 2 on the MRBD which when activated turns on a rotating lamp to alert the Main Guard that there is an incoming call.

3: Opening a barrier at a predefined time
This event will trigger at 7am from Monday to Friday. It will activate RCO 36 which is output number 3 on the TKIS. This in turn operates relay 3 on the MRBD, and the barrier is raised.


Upload Data

When AlphaPro configuration is finished, upload the data by pressing Send All or Send Change from the top menu. After the upload is complete reset the exchange to make the changes take effect.
