List of controllers
All examples are compatible with InteliGen-NT, InteliSys-NT and InteliMains-NT. Example files are
based on InteliGen-NT MINT 3.0 default archive.

Knight Rider
LEDs on binary outputs BOUT1 to BOUT8 are imitating a running light (from left to right and
backwards).

As an input is used Logical Binary Output “CtrlHeartBeat” providing an alternating signal with a rate of
500ms active / 500ms inactive while the controller is operational, i.e. it has passed all checks after
startup and no failure was detected.

The signal is then “doubled” (to get higher frequency for faster movement of the light) using “Delay” in
pulse mode which generates pulses on both the rising and falling edge.

Pulses are used to increment number from 0 to 13 in “Increment/Decrement” block adjusted to reset
itself after reaching number 13 so it is periodically counting from 0 to 13.

“Multiplexed analog constant” block then works as a multiple constant selector controlled by the input
analog value. The output value is set to the predefined constant. It creates following scenario:

00000001
00000010
00000100
00001000
00010000
00100000
......

Values above are converted with Decomposer blocks to activate one of the connected binary outputs.
Which tools are needed to re-produce this functionality
E.g. InteliMonitor SCADA, GenConfig ScreenEditor

InteliVision 5 – vertical breaker

As there is not a picture of vertical interactive breaker in the screen editor for InteliVision 5 available by
default, we prepared an example file to show you how to easily create it using standard functions.

Example file contents InteliVision 5 screen named “VertBreaker”. Go to “GenConfig -> Screen Editor -
> InteliVision 5 -> Screen 1 (VertBreaker)” where you can see a manually drawn symbol of a breaker
using “Line” graphical element. There are basically two main strokes indicating closed (green stroke)
or opened breaker (red stroke).

When you check properties of both colored strokes, you will find that they have activated function
“Mask Type”. The red one is adjusted to type “Hide” while the green one is set to “Show”. In
combination with selection parameter “User mask 1” (= logical binary input) the green stroke is visible
only if Logical Binary Input “User mask 1” is activated and the red stroke is visible only when “User
mask 1” is deactivated.

To assign the signal for “User mask 1” activation go to “GenConfig -> LBI”. In our case, the first binary
input “GCB feedback” is used so the screen VertBreaker shows status of the GCB breaker.
