rf9000 Posted May 15, 2020 Share Posted May 15, 2020 We have the attached diagram that we would like to integrate into C4. It is a motorized door that opens and closes, this is the provided controller. What would be the best way to have this operate from a keypad, maybe a dedicated button that if pressed once it opens and if pressed again it closes?

brekfastb Posted May 15, 2020 Share Posted May 15, 2020 wire to 2 relays on a controller, if possible use a contact or tilt sensor to monitor statusnumeric variablebutton press sets the variable +1if variable = 1 trigger the open relayif variable = 2trigger the close relayset variable = 0Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brekfastb Posted May 15, 2020 Share Posted May 15, 2020 looks like rs232 might be an option, if you can get strings you can write a driverSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mujtaba.khokhar Posted May 15, 2020 Share Posted May 15, 2020 You would wire the low voltage side into a relay. You can test it yourself by shorting the contacts too The relay NC - close NO - open COM - COMSo when the relay is closed the door is closed when the relay is open the door is open That should work for you Or you can get the rs232 codes and make a quick driver Thanks Muj Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RyanE Posted May 15, 2020 Share Posted May 15, 2020 There are drivers for 1, 2, and 3 relay gate / doors that do all the logic for setting up control of something like this. Have your installer search for 'door' type 'experience button', should be 'Relay Door Controller (OS2.9+). RyanE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanchow Posted May 15, 2020 Share Posted May 15, 2020 i would also wire it up to be interlocking as well just in case for some reason you have both directions going at the same time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bind two relays in your project to the up and down. Bind them to the driver. The drivers take a time measurement from top to bottom as an input and also a max time either relay should be opening, an emergency cut off. That can then bind to a button. Once of up or down. Twice for stop and three for set to 80% for example. Or two buttons for up and down. Or as others have said, write a serial driver but if you have the spare relays the above gets you over the integration line quick. And if you want the lockout feature. That's a third relay. And a different button programming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The module pictured above will be in the cabinet with the TV. The C4 controller will be in another room. if I want this just be a button on on of the keypad dimmers, what would I run back to the control room for wire from the module/TV location?

Or a three or 5 core low voltage alarm type wire 3 for the relays or 5 if you want the interlock wired. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
