5. Conditions

Automation defines the following types of conditions:

True – always true condition
False – always false condition
ProfileState – time profile state
CallState – current call state
AccountState – SIP account registration state
InputState – digital input state
FlipFlopRS – RS-type flip-flop
FlipFlopD – D-type flip-flop
LogicalAnd – logical AND of conditions
LogicalOr – logical OR of conditions
LogicalNot – condition negation
OnvifVirtualOutputState – VMS virtual port state
OutputState – output state
SwitchState – Switch logical level
SecureState – compares the logical level with the level defined in Level

See below for details on the conditions and their parameters and use.

Output parameters

Out

Example

The condition is met for an activated tamper switch (device not open):

FlipFlopRS

The FlipFlopRS block is a one-bit memory cell (output parameter), whose state changes to 1 or 0 at the rise of defined events. The FlipFlopRS output can be used as a condition for action control in rather complex 2N^® Automation applications. It is a simulation of an RS-type flip-flop circuit.

Input parameters

Set – define the event to set the condition into the 'met' state (1).
Reset – define the event to set the condition into the 'not met' state (0).
ResetValue – set the condition default value upon restart. The parameter is optional.
- Valid values:

Output parameters

Out

Example

The condition is met at the rise of event 1 and not met at the rise of event 2:

FlipFlopD

The FlipFlopD block is a one-bit memory cell (output parameter), which records the state of another condition at the moment of rise of the defined event for later use. The FlipFlopD output can be used as a condition for action control in rather complex 2N^® Automation applications. It is a simulation of a D-type flip-flop circuit.

Input parameters

Clock – define the event during which the current state of the condition is to be recorded.
Condition – define the condition to be recorded at the rise of the ClockEvent.
ResetValue – set the condition default value upon restart. The parameter is optional.
- Valid values:

Output parameters

Out

Example

The state of the condition is same as the state of condition 2 at the rise of event 1:

LogicalAnd

The LogicalAnd block helps you create groups of conditions. The block is fulfilled if all the conditions in the defined group are met.

Input parameters

In1 – define the condition to be met.
In2 – define the condition to be met.
In3 – define the condition to be met.
In4 – define the condition to be met.
In5 – define the condition to be met.

Output Parameters

Out

Example

The condition is met if conditions 1, 2 and 3 are met at the same time:

LogicalOr

The LogicalOr block helps you create groups of conditions. The block is fulfilled if one condition at least of the defined group is met.

Input parameters

In1 – define the condition to be met.
In2 – define the condition to be met.
In3 – define the condition to be met.
In4 – define the condition to be met.
In5 – define the condition to be met.

Output parameters

Out

Example

The condition is met if conditions 1, 2 or 3 are met:

LogicalNot

The LogicalNot block defines the condition to be met in case another defined condition is not met.

Input parameters

In

Output parameters

Out

Example

The condition is met in case condition 1 is not met:

OnvifVirtualOutputState

The OnvifVirtualOutputState block defines the condition to be met when the set virtual port state is active.

Input parameters

Port – define the port to be observed. The valid values are 50–54.
Level – define the logical value of the port to be observed. The valid values are high and low.

Output parameters

Out

OutputState

OutputState defines the condition that matches the logical state of the output.

Input parameters

Output – define the digital input.
- Valid values:
  - relay1 – relay 1 on basic unit
  - relay2 – relay 2 on basic unit
  - output1 – output 1 on basic unit
  - output2 – output 2 on basic unit
- There may be different valid values for different 2N IP intercom models; refer to Subs. Available Digital Inputs and Outputs.
Level – define the required digital input level. The parameter is optional.
- Valid values:
  - lo – logical 0
  - hi – logical 1 (default value)

Output parameters

Example

The condition is met if relay 1 is active.

SwitchState

The SwitchState block produces logical 0 or logical 1 based on a condition defined by parameters Switch ID, Operation and Level.

Input Parameters:

Switch ID – defines which Switch is used for the condition evaluation
- Valid values:
  - X – where X is a number of the corresponding Switch (typically 1 .. 4, different models may have different numbers of switches)
Operation – defines the type of operation of the Switch which is used for the condition evaluation
Valid values:
- - state – Switch can be active or inactive (default value)
  - lock – Switch can be locked or unlocked
  - hold – Switch can be held or released
Level
- Valid values
  - lo – the condition is met if the selected operation is in logical 0 (i.e. Switch is inactive, Switch is unlocked, Switch is released)
  - hi – the condition is met if the selected operation is in logical 1 (i.e. Switch is active, Switch is locked, Switch is held) (default value)

Output Parameters:

Out – the value reflects if the condition is met.

Example

If the block has setting Switch ID = Switch 1, Operation = lock, Level = low, the condition will be met (Out will be in logical 1) if Switch 1 is unlocked.

SecureState

The SecureState block compares the secured state logical level with the value defined in the Level parameter.

Parameters

Level – define the condition.
- Valid values:
  - lo – logic 0
  - hi – logic 1 (default value)
Out – the values indicates whether or not the condition is met.
