Alternatively control labels can be dragged and dropped directly onto
the unexpanded ‘Controls’ menu and they will be added to the controls
list.
Multiple control labels can be added to the control input module to
create a list of control labels that will activate the logic input from the
control input module.
Figure 1-17: Added Further Controls to a Control Input
Dragging and dropping a control label on top
of a label already in the
controls list will replace that item with the new control label.
Items on the control list can be selected
by left clicking on the items;
multiple items can be selected by holding down the shift key while left
clicking on the items to select them. Right clicking on the selected
control item or items will open a menu giving the options to Copy, Cut
or Delete the items. Alternatively the entire list can be copied by
right-clicking on the unexpanded controls menu and selecting ‘’Copy
this Control list’.
Figure 1-18: Control List Editing
If items from the list of controls are cut or
copied they may be pasted
directly into the control list of another control
input by right clicking on
the unexpanded controls menu and selecting ‘Add selection’.
To enter a description into the control input double left click on the
word ‘Description’ and the description text box is displayed with the
current content highlighted for overtyping.

Figure 1-19: Control Input Description
Enter the required description in the text box and then left click outside
the text box to close the text box. The description is then displayed on
the control input.
A control input can be copied, cut, deleted
or have a comment added
by right clicking on the ‘Control I/P’ title to open the options menu.
Figure 1-20: Copying a Control Input
If a control input is copied or cut it can be pasted back into the design
window complete with the list of assigned controls and the description.
Deletion will remove the control input and ‘Add Comment’ will add an
attached comment as described previously. To paste a copy of a
control input place the mouse pointer over a free space in the design
window and right click to open the menu.
Figure 1-21: Pasting a Control Input
Click on ‘Insert Comment’ to add a free-floating
comment as described
previously.
Control Input Operation
If any of the controls on the list are activated then the control input
module will be set to an active output. The same effect can be created
by using multiple control inputs and combining them using ‘OR’ gates
but whereas ‘OR’ gates introduce a 25ms processing delay combining
multiple controls in a list does not introduce a processing delay.

Control Output
Control outputs are used to activate outputs when the input state is
true. To set up a control output drag and drop a ‘Control O/P’
module
from the ‘Module Library’ onto the design pane.
Figure 1-22: Control Output Module
To add a control click on the ‘Controls’ menu to open it and display the
‘Add control’ item.
Figure 1-23: Control Output Menu
Drag and drop an item from the list of control labels onto the ‘Add
control’ item to add it to the list of controls that will be triggered by the
Control Output. The output control labels are set up in ECS by the
Control Manager and are usually General Purpose Outputs (GPOs).
These may be attaches to external devices such as relays to control
devices such as lights or door switches.
Figure 1-24: Adding a Control to the Control Output List
Alternatively control labels can be dragged and dropped directly onto
the unexpanded ‘Controls’ menu and they will be added to the controls
list.
Multiple control labels can be added to the control output module to
create a list of control labels that will be activated by the Control Output
module when it receives an active input.
