Interlock Control - Mitsubishi Electric AE-200A Instruction Book

7-3. Interlock control

Click [Functions 3] in the menu bar, and then click [Interlock control] to access the Interlock Control settings
screen. Set the interlocking conditions and actions, and then click [Save Settings] to save the settings.
Note: A separate license is required to use the Interlock Control function. Make sure that the required license has properly been
registered on the Registration of Optional Functions screen. (Refer to chapter 10 for details.)
Note: The Interlock Control settings may not be accessible if logged in as a building manager.
Note: Interlock Control is not effective when [External Input Setting] is set to [ON/OFF (Level signal)]. (See section 4-2-3).
Note: If a group is deleted on the group settings screen, be sure to delete the Interlock Control settings in which the group is
selected as the input units or the output units.

Up to 150 Interlock Control settings from No.1 through No.150 can be set for each AE-200/AE-50/EW-50. (Up
to 600 Interlock Control settings can be made when one AE-200 and three or four AE-50/EW-50 controllers are
connected.) The Interlock Control verifies the state changes in an ascending order of No.1 to No.150 every three
to five seconds. When the interlocking conditions are met, the interlocking action commands will be issued to the
output units.
By making the interlocking condition settings (input category, input states, and input units) and interlocking action
settings (output unit type, actions, and output units) for each Interlock Control setting, the operation of the output
units can be interlocked with the operation of the input units.
Caution:
Before using the Interlock Control function, you must agree to the following.
1. This function must not be used for disaster prevention or security purposes unless a backup device is
provided in case of failure of this function. (This function should never be used in the way that would put
people's lives at risk.)
2. The interlocking action settings that are not supported by the interlocked output units must not be made on
the [Set up Actions] screen. Failure to observe this precaution may result in malfunctions.
3. After completing each Interlock Control setting, perform a test run and confirm proper settings and
operation.
4. Do not set the Interlock Control settings as the following examples show. Doing so will cause short-cycling,
resulting in unit damage.
Example 1: Group 1 is turned off when Group 1 is turned on.
Example 2: Group 1 is turned on when Group 1 is turned off.
