Block Code switch basic

With this control element something is only switched after a code has been entered – for example opening the garage door or arming the alarm system. The code has four to eight digits and can be changed at any time.

Operation

1. Key: a tap on the tile opens the code entry. The same applies to the circle (basic screen) and the list entry.
2. View Keyboard: the keys are placed on the page itself, no dialog opens. The text is at the top, the entry below it.
3. C: clears the entry.
4. Key button: change the code, see below.

The code is checked with the last digit, there is no confirm key.

The code entry

1. Entry: a * stands for each digit entered, a - for each missing one. With the last digit the controller checks the code. If it is correct, Password ok appears, the controller switches and the dialog closes by itself after 2.5 seconds. Otherwise Wrong password appears and the entry starts again. If there is no answer within 5 seconds, No response from controller appears and nothing has been switched.
2. C: clears the entry and also cancels changing the code.
3. Key: changes the code. The title bar turns red and asks one after the other for:
   • Current password – the previous code or the master code if the previous one is no longer known,
   • New password and
   • New password repeat.
   If both entries match, Password changed appears together with the new code, otherwise a message that the passwords do not match.

The code is kept in the controller and therefore applies to all devices. Without a connection to the controller it cannot be checked; under Windows the hint Controller not connected appears.

Setup

This section is meant for the installer of the system.

The control element works without a function block: the variable Trigger is linked directly at the control element. What is sent on a correct code is set by the parameter Trigger.

• At first the Master applies as code. If the Length is changed, the stored code no longer fits and the master applies again.
• Always enter the master with exactly as many digits as Length specifies. If it does not fit, it is replaced by 1234… in the matching length.
