kitControl-InterstartDelayControl

This component delays the start of an HVAC component function.

InterstartDelayControl is available in the HVAC folder of the kitControl palette.

These objects are like BooleanWritables, each with three additional slots for use in interstart delay sequences, as follows:

  • Delay — Specifies an amount of time to wait before the framework starts next object in the delay.
  • Master — Specifies the InterstartDelayMaster component in the station that controls the delay sequence.
  • Start Pending — a read-only Boolean status that indicates if a start is pending (true) or not (false).

Use this component with an InterstartDelayMaster, then link outputs of InterstartDelayControl objects, as needed, to control corresponding Boolean writable points (typically proxy points) for the final interstart control.

No other InterstateDelayControl object using the same delay master can start for delay time after this object starts. If delay is not defined, the framework uses the default delay on the master.

Property Value Description
Facets Config Facets window (defaults to true and false)

Defines text to display for each Boolean value.

trueText configures the text to describe the state when the component returns true.

falseText configures the text to describe the state when the component returns false.

Out read-only Displays the result of the configuration.
In1 through In16 StatusBoolean true or false (default) and null definition Link to up to 16 points, which provide StatusBoolean input.

When null is checked, the value displayed defaults to the incoming value from the device.If you remove the check mark you can configure the In value.

Fallback StatusBoolean true or false (default) and null definition Sets the Out property’s value to the value of this property when a point returns a null or invalid value at inputs In1-In16.
Override Expiration defaults to null It defaults the value to null.
Min Active Time hours minutes seconds Provides for a minimum up time.
Min Inactive Time hours minutes seconds Provides for a minimum down time.
Set Min Inactive Time On Start true or false (default) Ensures the minimum inactive time when the station starts.
Delay hours minutes seconds Defines the amount of time to elapse before the component starts the next object in the sequence.
Master file chooser (defaults to null) Locates the InterstartDelayMaster component in the station.
Start Pending read only StatusBoolean true or false (default) Indicates if a start is pending.

true indicates the start is pending.

false indicates no start is pending.
