I just took over a GEN2 job and the car to lobby switch at the lobby panel is not operating. Switch rings out fine, it appears to be set up, but the building insists its never worked. Does this have to be activated by a parameter? I can not find anything in manuals. Any info would help.
But you don’t set the dip switches to 1290. You find an extra input on an existing RSL card or add an RSL card then address it to an unused port. Then in 1-3-2 you enter 1290 and enter the address your input is at. 4 inputs and 4 outputs at each port.
Steve. Your CTL switch must be connected to an a RSL CARD INPUT.
When the key switch is turned on, it will give the signal to the RSL.
Check the address on the RSL seeing which links are on on which are off. The binary code will be 1 2 4 8 16.So seeing which pins are on you can come to know the address on the RSL.
Then this address and the input pin number you set for the address 1290 on the controller. For example
If links 123 are on, in the RSL, then the address will be 7. And if you have used input number 1 to connect the CTL switch to the then the address is 07/1. So input this on 1290.
Hope this helps. I stopped working since 2008, so my apologies for the incorrect info in my previous post which was corrected by another member. All the best.
What kind of RSL card is in the lobby panel? Are all 3 cars on the same board? What are its dip switches set to? And if you want to let us know exactly where the switches wire to we could tell you more specifically what to enter on the tool. Are these 311 Gen 2s or GCS Gen 2s? Are there labeled indicator lights in the lobby panel that will have to be addressed too for car to lobby and park?
Since the CTL switch is marked, it must also be in the IO list. Please look in the circuit diagram on the last pages for the IO list, search for CTL and you will find the IO number there. I think 1290 is not correct. In my documents it is IO 10, but there are different countries, hardware and software versions etc.
