Control Pod model (110, 115, 230, or 235) that is connected to that port.
4. Click Update to save your serial device settings.
To specify the output type that will be assigned to each outlet on your Power Control Pod and to specify a
unique label for each outlet:
1. Click on the Setup button.
2. Select the Power Control Pod you wish to configure from the Pods drop-box. A list of available
outlets (1 outlet for Power Control Pod 110s and 230s, 5 outlets for Power Control Pod 115s and
235s) on the selected pod appears.
3. Select from the Output Type Configured drop-box beside each outlet the output control action you
want to assign to the corresponding port.
The following output types are available by default:
– None: No output action is associated with this port.
– One-Second Button (NC): When activated, a normally closed (NC) relay is switched to an open
state for 1 second, and then switched back to closed.
– One-Second Button (NO): When activated, a normally open (NO) relay is switched to a closed
state for 1 second, and then switched back to open.
– Switch (NC): When activated, a normally closed (NC) relay is switched to an open state.
– Switch (NO): When activated, a normally open (NO) relay is switched to a closed state.
– Ten-Second Button (NC): When activated, a normally closed (NC) relay is switched to an open
state for 10 seconds, and then switched back to closed.
– Ten-Second Button (NO): When activated, a normally open (NO) relay is switched to a closed
state for 10 seconds, and then switched back to open.
If you have used the Advanced View to define custom output types, your custom output types will
be available from this list as well.
4. Type in the Port Label field the label that will be used to uniquely identify the device connected to
output control device port.
5. Click Update to save your output device settings.
Testing Device Power-On Behavior
Before connecting a device to a Power Control Pod, be sure to first test the device to ensure that when
power is restored to the device it powers up without requiring user interaction (such a pressing a power
button, for example).
Note
When configuring output types on Power Control Pods, the “closed” relay state
causes the circuit on the outlet to be closed and the power to be “on.” The “open”
relay state opens the circuit on the outlet and causes the power to be “off.” For
example, selecting a Ten-Second Button (NC) output type would, when
activated, “open” the outlet and interrupt the power supplied to the device that is
connected to the outlet for 10 seconds, after which the outlet would be “closed,”
restoring power to the device.
