PMBACS - Logic Control

Introduction

The PMBACS System is currently capable of logic control relating to the core functions.

The advantage of logic control is that it makes the system versatile. By adding logic statements, things can be done that would otherwise require more equipment or custom programming.

By connecting additional input and output expansion modules the system is capable of more complex logic control.

Logic Control is where the module takes the information it is given and operates outputs based on the information matching a logical pattern. Each pattern or statement is called a logic.

A simple logic would be:

    IF there's movement detected AND it's dark enough THEN turn the lights on

A slightly more complex logic would be:

    IF there's movement detected AND it's dark enough AND it's the weekend THEN turn the lights on

Almost any piece of information available to the module or system overall can be used in a logic statement.

There are two types of logic. Local logics, operating entirely within a single module, and System Logics, which rely on the master controller to combine information from more than one source.
