7.3 Creating a Group for Cascade Triggers
You can group I/O devices by function or geography. Further, the group allows cascade
triggers, meaning that the trigger actions of one trigger can activate another trigger.
For this example, you might have a group called “Entrance” that contains all I/O devices
installed at entrances. The “Entrance” group might contain other sub groups, each of which
contains just the related I/O devices in various geographic locations:
Group containing all I/O devices installed at entrances
Input 2 installed at the front entrance
Output 1 sub group at the kitchen
Output 3 sub group at the garage
Figure 7-3
When Input 2 is triggered, it will trigger Output 1 and Output 3 sub groups, and Output 1 will
trigger Output 2 in a cascade series.

1. Right-click on Advanced I/O List (No.9, Figure 7-2), and then select Add A Group. This

3. To create a cascading hierarchy, drag the desired inputs/outputs from the left Standard
I/O List to the group.
Note: In the cascading hierarchy, each input can only be used once while the same output
can be used repeatedly.
