After the Network Node is added, output blades can be configured for it.

  1. On the Network Node, select actions menu and then choose Add an Output Blade.
  2. On the Configuration screen, enter a descriptive Name for the output blade.
  3. Select the Slot at which the output blade is connected to the node. Note: The slot must not be in use by another device.
  4. Select Save to save your changes. If you exit this screen after changes are made without saving, you will be prompted to save or discard your changes.

Output Blade Actions

Select actions menu on a configured output blade to access these actions:

  • View Details - Presents read-only output blade information and any recent output blade events. For more information about an output blade event, select the event to open its details screen.
  • Configure - Select to modify the output blade.
  • Delete - Select to remove the output blade configuration.

Deleting an output blade also deletes its associated outputs.

Configure Outputs

Each output blade is added with eight (8) configurable output placeholders. To configure an output, complete the following steps:

  1. Under the output blade in the Devices list, select Add Output to open the output configuration screen.
  2. On the configuration screen, the first output will be position 1 on the blade and the second position 2.
  3. Enter a descriptive Name for the output.

  4. Normally Energize Output: Enable this option to specify a normally energized output relay. By default, this setting is disabled for output relays that are not normally energized. 

    Both normally-open circuit devices and normally-closed circuit devices are supported. See Wire outputs for 3-pin wiring.
    Refer to the output device manual to determine if the device is normally energized or normally not energized. 
  5. Activate on schedule: Select a schedule during which the output will be activated. Choices include Always, Never, and all currently defined schedules.

  6. Select Save to save your changes. If you exit this screen after changes are made without saving, you will be prompted to save or discard your changes.

The available configurable outputs can be filtered. From the  above the Devices list, select hide or show options Hide available slots or Show available slots. Showing the available output slots is useful during configuration, but once the required outputs are configured, hiding any unused outputs makes it easier to view the configuration.

As a further configuration aid, the Devices list provides the blade position of the output in the Type column

Output Actions

Select actions menu on a configured output to access these actions:

  • View Details - Presents read-only output information and any recent output events. For more information about an output event, select the event to open its details screen.
  • Configure - Select to modify the output.
  • Delete - Select to remove the output configuration.

Outputs cannot be deleted if they are linked to a reader or input.
