for details on the wiring of the I/O ports/bits. Select the event type
(Input or Output) from the Event Type drop-down list box.
Input Event
If Input is selected several other fields are affected and require
configuration as described in the following paragraphs.
– The Console Tone Alarm drop-down list box will be displayed
below the Event Type field, replacing the Activate and
Deactivate buttons.
– The Input Message text box will be displayed in the lower
right quadrant of the dialog box, replacing the Activate and
Deactivate fields.
– The Message Window Text text box will be displayed in the
lower left quadrant of the dialog box, replacing the Activate
Function and Output Deactivate fields (all fields in this
quadrant are currently not used, they are for future console
development).
Console Tone Alarm
Use this field to specify if an alarm tone will be heard at the consoles
for the event currently being configured. Select either Alarm Off or
Alarm On from the drop-down list box.
Input Message
The Input Message for C3 Modular/Desktop consoles must be
UPPER CASE alphanumeric characters. There is no
restriction for any other console type.
This field displays the input event's defined text message (8 characters
max). This message is sent to any console that has been selected in the
Console Mask field when the input becomes active. On the C3 Maestro
console, the message will be displayed in the bottom left corner of the
CRT. On the C3 Modular/Desktop console, the message is displayed in
the 8-character alphanumeric LED display (see NOTE). Because these
display positions are used for other messages, the I/O event message is
displayed for approximately five (5) seconds and then cleared. Select
Log Event State Changes for a more permanent record of the input
event occurrence.
