PowerManager

General

The basic settings of each device include the activation state (On/Off) as well as a name under which all alarms and warnings reported by this device are displayed. This should be chosen as uniquely descriptive as possible to be able to distinguish between devices.

Alarm Group

By selecting the parent alarm group, the device is integrated into the system hierarchy.
Alarms are signaled in the parent alarm group.

Connection

Connection monitoring enables alarming when the device is not reachable.

Alarm AssignmentSelection of the alarm assignment
Output as WarningConnection loss does not trigger an alarm and is only reported as a warning.

External Sensors

Switching Outputs

info

Up to two external devices can be connected via switching output.

A configuration can be made for each switching output that determines the functionality of the output. The configuration includes the following settings:

NameThe designation used here is used in KentixONE to identify the switching output, such as in alarm messages and log entries.
Alarm GroupThe alarm group determines the function of the output for switching outputs or which alarms should trigger the output to switch.
Switching TimeDetermines the duration for which the switching output remains activated. Available options: Off, 1 second, 3 seconds, 10 seconds, 20 seconds, 30 seconds, 1 minute, 2 minutes, 5 minutes, 10 minutes, 20 minutes, 30 minutes, 1 hour, Permanent. When the switching output is triggered, it remains switched for the set time.

Alarm Assignment

The alarm assignment determines the specific function of the switching output:

NameAPI ValueDescription
Armed-Activearmed-activeWhen an armed-active alarm occurs in the assigned alarm group, the output is switched to high level for the set switching time. An acknowledgment also causes the output to return to low level prematurely.
Always-Activealways-activeWhen an always-active alarm occurs in the assigned alarm group, the output is switched to high level for the set switching time. An acknowledgment also causes the output to return to low level prematurely.
FirefireWhen a fire alarm occurs in the assigned alarm group, the output is switched to high level for the set switching time. An acknowledgment also causes the output to return to low level prematurely.
SabotagesabotageWhen a sabotage alarm occurs in the assigned alarm group, the output is switched to high level for the set switching time. An acknowledgment also causes the output to return to low level prematurely.
System MessagesystemAlarms can always be triggered. These are reported as system messages.
Only for external devices and switching outputs
Collective Alarm (Group)collected-alarmOutput is switched to high level as long as an alarm is pending in the parent alarm group. Acknowledgments have no effect.

Collective Alarm Always-Active (Group)collected-alarm-always-activeOutput is switched to high level as long as an always-active alarm is pending in the parent alarm group.
Collective Alarm Fire (Group)collected-alarm-fireOutput is switched to high level as long as a fire alarm is pending in the parent alarm group.
Collective Alarm Sabotage (Group)collected-alarm-sabotageOutput is switched to high level as long as a sabotage alarm is pending in the parent alarm group.

Webhooks

Webhooks in KentixONE provide the ability to send an HTTP request to an external server when an event occurs. System-wide Webhooks can be created for this purpose. Such a webhook can be assigned to any number of events.

tip

Webhooks also provide the possibility to implement functions via the KentixONE SmartAPI that are not available through the standard configuration.

For example, when a fire alarm occurs, the switching outputs of an AccessManager could be activated to unlock the connected motor locks.

Events

NameDescription
All AlarmsThe webhook is sent for every alarm that occurs.
Armed-Active AlarmsWhen an armed-active alarm occurs, the webhook is sent.
Always-Active AlarmsWhen an always-active alarm occurs, the webhook is sent.
Fire AlarmsWhen a fire alarm occurs, the webhook is sent.
Sabotage AlarmsWhen a sabotage alarm occurs, the webhook is sent.
System MessagesWhen a system message is triggered, the webhook is sent.
Before ArmingThe webhook is sent when an alarm group is to be armed.(1)
After ArmingThe webhook is sent after an alarm group has been armed.
Before DisarmingThe webhook is sent when an alarm group is to be disarmed.(1)
After DisarmingThe webhook is sent after an alarm group has been disarmed.
Change of Switching Status (Arming or Disarming)When the alarm group is switched, the webhook is sent.
Cyclical (5 Min, 10 Min, 15 Min, 30 Min)The webhook is sent cyclically.
info

(1) The webhook is sent when a switching command is triggered either by a user or by automatic arming. Example: (Dis-)Arming command by user → Webhook is sent → (Dis-)Arming is executed
