Relay Output (QIO-LVR4)
The Relay Output component represents a Relay Output 1-4 on the QIO-LVR4 device. Use the component to interface with various third-party devices such as lighting systems, motorized shades, and environmental systems. These relays allow the Q-SYS system to control these devices by opening or closing the relay contacts, effectively turning the connected devices on or off.
Input Pins
Relay n
Control Pins represent the Controls available in the component's Control Panel. Control Pins are used to link controls between Schematic Elements, and link to/from Control Scripts.
Output Pins
Relay n
Control Pins represent the Controls available in the component's Control Panel. Control Pins are used to link controls between Schematic Elements, and link to/from Control Scripts.
In this example, controls from an interface are configured to open and close a relay. This type of control is typically used for a projector screen lift mechanism.
QIO-LVR4 Properties
Name
The Name may contain ASCII letters 'a' through 'z' (case-insensitive), the digits '0' through '9', and the hyphen. Names cannot begin or end with a hyphen. No other symbols, punctuation characters, or blank spaces are permitted.
Location
User-defined name that groups the component with other components in the same physical location, or in the same organizational scheme.
Is Required
When enabled, and the device is not found on the network, the device is reported as 'Missing', which is an error condition. This is the default behavior. When disabled, and the device is not found on the network, the device is reported as 'Not Present', which is not an error condition.
Dynamically Paired
Indicates that this virtual component can be paired with the same type of hardware without changing the network ID of the hardware or the name of this component. Refer to the Q-SYS Core Manager Dynamic Pairing topic for more information. The default is 'No'.
Graphic Properties
Label
Use the Label property to change the name of the component in the schematic. The Label property defaults to the component name. To learn more about renaming schematic elements, see Organizing Your Design.
Position
The coordinates reference a specific place in the schematic - for example,"100,100" (horizontal, vertical). 0,0 is the upper left corner of the schematic.
Fill
Sets the fill color of the component in the schematic.
Script Access Properties
Code Name
Displays the currently assign name for control access. You can use the auto-assigned name or customize it. Q-SYS will automatically check all Code Names in the design to ensure name is unique.
Script Access
Defines whether the component will be accessible by script and/or externally, or not at all. Choices include All, External, None (default), and Script.
- None (default) - Not accessible by any script, plugin, or by Q-SYS Remote Control Protocol (QRC).
- Script - Can be accessed by scripts, such as Text Controller, Block Controllers, and plugins only.
- External - Can only be accessed by 3rd party controls systems using component commands from the Q-SYS Remote Control Protocol (QRC).
- All - No restrictions, can be accessed by 3rd party control systems via Q-SYS Remote Control Protocol (QRC), or script objects or plugin objects.
Tip: Use Script Programmer Mode to quickly view the Script Access setting directly on the component in the design schematic without the need to disconnect from the Q-SYS Core processor.
Relays 1-4
Open
The Open LED indicates that the Normally Open (NO) connection is connected to the Common (C), meaning the circuit is complete and current can flow.
Close
The Closed LED indicates that the Normally Closed (NC) connection is connected to the Common (C), meaning the circuit is complete and current can flow.
