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.
