－ LCD closing time: 5 min (default). Setting range 1~60 min.
－ The following functions can be realized through the settings of “Time Base”:
1. When “Only Time Base” is selected, this controller is configured as the time base. The system time of
other controllers in the same network is synchronized when the time base controller starts up and is
synchronized once an hour. Only one time base controller is allowed in a network.
2. When “Only Master” is selected, this controller is configured as the master controller in the same
network, and therefore it realizes the functions of manual/auto switching and resetting in the whole
network.
3. When “Time Base and Master” is selected, this controller is configured as the time base and master at
the same time, which results in system time synchronization, manual/auto switching and resetting for the
whole network.
4. When “None” is selected, this controller is not configured as the time base or master.

APPENDIX 3 RULES FOR EDITING AN INTERLOCK
1. Logic expression:
01.0001.07+01.0002.07+01.0003.07=01.0004.10
1 2

Input Output
① Group No.: xx.xxxx First two number express controller No. Last four number express group code.
② Status code：xx express the status in the logic
- 01：Alarm
- 02：Supervision
- 03：Active
- 04：Confirmation
- 05：Output with confirmation
- 06：Output without confirmation
- 07：Trouble
- 08：Disable
- 09：Test
- 10：Active (only suitable for control group to active the output in this group)
- 11：Stop (only suitable for control group to stop the output in this group)
2. Format specification:

● “+”: “or” relation;

Example: 01.0001+01.0002+01.0003=01.0004; indicates that alarm of any group of 01.0001, 01.0002,
01.0003 can activate group 01.0004.
● “*”: “and” relation;
Example: 01.0001*01.0002*01.0003=01.0004; indicates that 01.0001, 01.0002, 01.0003 simultaneously
alarm can activate group 01.0004.
● “！”： “Not” relation；
Example: 01.0001*!01.0002=01.0004；indicates that 01.0001alarm, and 01.0002 no alarm，active 01.0004
group。
● “（）”: Priority;
Example: (01.0001+01.0002)*01.0003=01.0004; indicates that any group of 01.0001, 01.0002 and 01.0003
simultaneously alarm can activate group 01.0004.
● “+~+”, “*~*” : Abbreviations, but can not be used in “[ ]N”.
Example: 01.0001+~+01.0015=01.0016; indicates that in No. 01 controller, any group of No. 1 to No. 15
alarm can activate No. 16 group.
01.0001*~*01.0006=01.0007; indicates that in No. 01 controller, No. 1 to No. 6 groups simultaneously alarm
can acvitate No. 7 group.
●“[ ]N”: Total N groups simultaneously alarm; 1≤N≤8 (and N ≤ total groups);
Example: [01.0001, 01.0002, 01.0003]2=01.0004; indicates that any 2 groups of 3 groups alarm can activate
group 01.0004.
[01.0001~01.0003, 01.0005]2=01.0004; indicates that any 2 groups of 4 groups (1 to 3 and 5) alarm can
activate group 01.0004.
58
Smart Infrastructure A6V10239594_c_en
2019-05-26
 ● “; ”: End of logic expression;
● “@N”: Union alarm in a group, 2≤N≤ total device amount;
Example: 01.0001@2=01.0004; indicates that any 2 devices in group 01.0001 alarm can activate group 01.0004.
Remark : when adding /deleting device in a group, the logic expression need to be verified.
●When a logic expression need to activate more groups (output) simultaneously, use “,” to separate;
Example: (01.0001+01.0002)*01.0003=01.0004, 01.0005; indicates that any group of 01.0001, 01.0002 and
01.0003 simultaneously alarm can activate group 01.0004 and 01.0005.
3. Interlocking across controllers

Just directly input addresses of groups in logic expression;

Example: 01.0001+02.0001=01.0002, 02.0002;
