III. SWITCH OPERATING MODE
Each switch can be assigned to control one or more GPOs through the USP’s SWITCH
ASSIGNMENT web page. When the switch is pressed, each controlled GPO changes
state according to its individual user configured operating mode. (See GPO
OPERATING MODE section of this document). When the switch is released, only
those GPOs configured for FOLLOW Operating Mode will change state.
IV. GPO OPERATING MODE
Each GPO can be configured by the user to operate according to one of the following
operating modes. Only one operating mode can be assigned to a GPO at any time.
The assignment of a new operating mode automatically overrides the previous
operating mode assignment. All GPO configurations are done from the USP’s GPO
page.
A. MOMENTARY OPERATION
When the controlling switch is pressed, the GPO will immediately turn on and
start its ON Time timer. When the user configured time period has elapsed, the
GPO will automatically turn OFF regardless of the state of the controlling switch.
If the controlling switch is held pressed after the elapsed time or quickly released
before the elapse time has expired, the GPO will only turn OFF when the user
configured ON Time has elapsed. The controlling switch must be released and
then re-pressed before the GPO will turn ON again.
B. FOLLOW OPERATION
When the controlling switch is pressed, the GPO will immediately turn ON. When
the controlling switch is released, the GPO will immediately turn OFF. If the
controlling switch is held pressed, the GPO will stay ON while the switch is being
held.
C. LATCH OPERATION
When the controlling switch is pressed, the GPO will immediately change state.
If the GPO was ON, it will turn OFF. If the GPO was OFF, it will turn ON. The
GPO will not change state when the controlling switch is released. When the
switch is released, the GPO will remain in its last state.
D. FLIP FLOP MODE OF OPERATION
The FLIP FLOP is a special case of a GPO Radio Group. One switch controls two
GPOs. When the switch is pressed and the current status is ON, then the 2
nd
GPO will be turned ON and the 1 st GPO will be turned OFF. When the switch is
pressed and the current status is OFF, then the 1 st GPO will be turned ON and the
2 nd GPO will be turned OFF. The current status can be the state of the 1 st GPO
(lowest number) or it can be the state of the primary GPI (lowest number).
The GPOs can be configured as LATCH or MOMENTARY. The FLIP FLOP operation
will be configured on a GPO by GPO basis in the GPO Assignment Table. The
drop down selection of GPO operations will include 8 FLIP FLOP selections― FF1,
FF2, FF3, FF4, FF5, FF6, FF7, FF8 ― on a USP-16 and 4 FLIP FLOP selections on a
USP-8. Only two GPOs can be assigned to a specific FLIP FLOP. The FLIP FLOP
operation is defined for GPOs co-located in the same unit. It is NOT currently
defined or supported for GPOs across multiple USP units.
