Speaker cluster distributing Alarm Tones

This article explains how the Alarm Generator in Exigo can be used.

In Exigo there are already some Alarm Tones predefined. But it is also possible to make custom Alarm Tones or customize the predefined alarms.

The Alarm Generator is located on the PSC (Primary System Controller) and the alarm tones is generated by the system controller.


Configuration

The Alarm Generator is configured using the EMT.

  • In the device tree select System.

To delete an alarm you can use the Recycle Bin next to the Add button.

Alarm Generator Script

The Alarm Generator is based on simple script programming.

Alarm Generator Example

  • Script Example:

local freq = 1000 for i = 1,7 do call_state ('alarm_tone', 'on') sine( 1, freq ) call_state ('alarm_tone', 'off') silence(1) End call_state ('alarm_tone', 'on') sine( 4, freq ) call_state ('alarm_tone', 'off') silence(1)

Script Explanation:

  • Local freq is a variable
  • For <> end is a for loop which runs for i times
  • Silence(seconds) is silence for seconds long
  • Call_state is used for control outputs to see when alarm is off with follow alarm
  • Sine(seconds, freq) is a sine tone lasting seconds long with frequency
