CMD 301: ADD EXPANSION LINE MODULE INPUT OR RELAY TO STANDARD CONTROL ZONE

Syntax:

START 301 * Expansion LMI / Expansion Relay * SCZ #

Description:

Use this command to add expansion line module inputs (LMI) or expansion relays to standard control zones (SCZ). This enables control codes to either mask expansion LMIs or to trigger, force, or lock down/open expansion relays.

A standard control zone must be defined before expansion LMIs or relays can be added to it (see CMD 45).

LMIs and relays can share the same control zone as shown in the example below. If you have defined both an Expansion LMI1 and Expansion Relay 1 then specifying a β€˜1’ as your first argument adds both to Control Zone 1; the system interprets this apparent ambiguity without trouble: depending on what type of code is assigned to Control Zone 1, the system determines if alarms are masked (by using an alarm control code type) or if relays are actuated (using a relay control code type). Separate control zones can be assigned to alarm control codes and to relay control codes if desired or required.

Example:

START 301 * 1 * 1 #

Add Expansion Line Module Input and/or Expansion Relay 1 To Standard Control Zone 1

Default:

None

Syntax:

START 302 * Expansion LMI / Expansion Relay * SCZ #

Description:

Use this command to remove expansion line module inputs (LMIs) or expansion relays from standard control zones (SCZ). This changes how control codes mask expansion LMIs or trigger, force, or lock down/open expansion relays.

Example:

START 302 * 1 * 1 #

Remove Expansion Line Module Input And/Or Relay 1 From Standard Control Zone 1

Default:

None

CMD 303: CHANGE TIME ZONE OF STANDARD CONTROL ZONE

Syntax:

START 303 * Time Zone * Standard Control Zone #

Description:

Use this command to change the time zone associated with a standard control zone (SCZ) from its original (current) value. CMD 303 enables you to change the TZ associated with the SCZ using CMD 45. Set the time zone to a standard, master, or grand master time zone.

You can also disable a currently-active SCZ using this command. Simply change the cur- rent time zone to 0 (Zero), Never.

A Time Zone is only used to restrict the command when a Control Zone will be activated by a Card or Code. The Time Zone does not effect the triggering of a Control Zone by an input or an alarm.

Example:

START 303 * 1 * 1 #

Change Time Zone of Standard Control Zone 1 to Time Zone 1

Default:

None

22 Turn off ScramblePad LEDs

Description:

CMD 305, Define Time Zone for Master Control Zone, must be invoked before a master control zone can operate. Use CMD 40 to add a control user to trigger a master control zone.

Master control zones enable the setup of either simple or sophisticated controls to be triggered by a single control code entered at an authorized ScramblePad/MATCH reader, or triggered by a line module input or relay. One common use of this feature is to put a single facility, or area within a facility, into night or day operation mode with a single code entry. For instance, the last person leaving a building equipped with an M8 controller and 16 expansion line module inputs could unmask all alarms, lock all doors, and lock down the vault room with a single β€˜Night Code’ at the building exit’s ScramblePad/MATCH reader.

Annunciate Readers is a special option that sounds the specified ScramblePad’s alarm annunciators for 5 beeps. This can be used to signal that a special event is beginning, that a special meeting is taking place, or that all employees should leave the building within a specified number of minutes.

Partial Unmask the system to unmask all inputs in the specified control zone previously detected as secure. All unsecured inputs are left masked.

v7.0 and later offers a variation on this command. It enables you to set every field in a master control zone you require. It uses this syntax:

304 * MCZ * NN * Value * ... * Value #

In addition to the twenty NN fields listed above, you can also set the time zone (CMD 305), tag/alert flags (CMD 449/CMD 549), link control zone (CMD 307), and link access zone (CMD 307).

A Time Zone is only used to restrict the command when a Control Zone will be activated by a Card or Code. The Time Zone does not effect the triggering of a Control Zone by an input or an alarm.

Example:

START 304 * 3 * 1 * 192 #

START 304 * 5 * 2 * 192 #

Mask all line module inputs assigned to Standard Control Zone 1 and Unlock all doors assignedtoStandardControlZone2whenaCodeassignedtoMasterControlZone192is used.

Default:

None

CMD 305: DEFINE TIME ZONE FOR MASTER CONTROL ZONE

Syntax:

START 305 * Time Zone * Master Control Zone #

Description:

Use this command to set or change the time zone for a master control zone.

You must assign a time zone other than TZ0 to a master control zone or it won’t work.

Β A time zone is only used to restrict the command when a control zone will be activated by a card or code. The tiime zone does not effect the triggering of a control zone by an input or an alarm.

Example:

CMD 306: CLEAR MASTER CONTROL ZONE

Syntax:

START 306 * Master Control Zone #
START 306 * First MCZ * Last MCZ #
START 306 * First MCZ * Last MCZ * 1 #

Description:

A Master Control Zone can be cleared or erased with this command. In v6.6 you can also specify a range of master control zones.

This does not clear the Link Access Zone or Link Control Zone fields as defined in CMD 307.

To perform a complete clear:

START 306 * MCZ #
START 307 * 0 * 0 * MCZ #

To clear a range of master control zones use:

START 306 * First MCZ * Last MCZ #.

This variation is available on v6.6 and later only.

To clear the link access zone and link control zones, use:

START 306 * First MCZ * Last MCZ * 1 #

This variation is available on v6.6 and later only.

If you only need to clear one master control zone, list it twice as β€œfirst and last” values.

Example:

START 306 * 250 #

Clear Master Control Zone 250

START 306 * 235 * 240 * 1#

Clear Master Control Zones 235-240 including new Link fields

Default:

None

CMD 307: DEFINE LINKED ZONES FOR MASTER CONTROL ZONE

Syntax:

START 307 * Access Zone * Linked Control Zone * Master Control Zone #Β 

Description:

Use this command to program Master Control Zones that can be triggered by Control Code. This is done by defining a Linked Master Control Zone.

If a particular door is associated with this AZ, then all of the tasks defined for this Master Control Zone (in CMD 304) are carried out. This is useful for setting in motion a cascade of events if certain conditions are met, particularly for elevator installations and medical cabinets where several actions must be triggered by one request at a designated Access Zone.

If a door/relay attempts to execute a Master Control Zone that is linked, and if the Master Control Zone is allowed by the Time Zone but is locked out via the Access Zone, the Controller will pull up the linked Master Control Zone and follow the linked tasks.

Discussion:

One of the most powerful DIGI*TRAC feature is the ability to program Master Control Zones that can be triggered by a control code. Suppose that you have a user with one control code and you want different Master Control Zones to be triggered depending on where and when the card is used.

First, set up the control code to trigger the first Master Control Zone of the sequence. Make a note of the Access Zone numbers corresponding to where and when each Master Control Zone will be triggered, then issue the following command:

307 * AZ * LCZ * MCZ #

Suppose you set up Master Control Zones 192 – 195 and define Access Zones 51 – 54 as areas where they can be used. Set Master Control Zone 192 as the zone triggered by the control code, then write the following sequence:

307 * 51 * 193 * 192 #
307 * 52 * 194 * 193 #
307 * 53 * 195 * 194 #
307 * 54 * 0 * 195 #

Once this sequence is entered, when the user enters the specified control code at the Reader (R) and Time (T) specified by the Access Zone, this sequence of events results:

if (access_zone_ok (51, R, T)) then trigger MCZ 192
else if (access_zone_ok (52, R, T)) then trigger MCZ 193
else if (access_zone_ok (53, R, T)) then trigger MCZ 194
else if (access_zone_ok (54, R, T)) then trigger MCZ 195
else do nothingΒ 

The controller will automatically detected and prohibit looping. For instance, if you were to use this line

307 * 54 * 193 * 195 #

in the preceding example, it would be rejected as invalid since that would link MCZ 195 back to MCZ 193.

The Master Control Zone’s existing Time Zone control is still checked. We recommend using Time Zone 65 in linked Master Control Zone situations because if the Time Zone is not active, it won’t proceed down the link to the next Master Control Zone in the chain.

Example:

307 * 51 * 193 * 192 #
307 * 52 * 194 * 193 #
307 * 53 * 195 * 194 #
307 * 54 * 0 * 195 #

Set up Master Control Zones 192 – 195 and define Access Zones 51 – 54 as areas where they can be used. Set Master Control Zone 192 as the zone triggered by the control code.

Default:

None

CMD 310: ADD ACCESS USER CARD ONLY (IDF 2)

Syntax:

START 310 * User Number * Access Zone * Card #

Description:

Use this command to add one new access user with a card only (ID Format 2) to the controller’s database. This new user is required to enter a card only to gain entry into a locked security area. To add the new user and card, select an unused user number, assign it to the appropriate access zone and swipe the card in the reader.

The MATCH reader must be connected to a ScramblePad in order t
