How to configure controller settings: Inbuilt Relays, ICDs, and Channels in control systems

The grid view controller settings are organized into three tabs: Inbuilt Relays, ICD (Input/Control Device), and Channel.

1. Inbuilt Relays:
   • Represent physical relays on LCMs (Lighting Control Modules) and RCMs (Relay Control Modules).
   • Two main types: Channel relays and SELV (Safety Extra-Low Voltage) relays, with SELV designed for low voltage applications.
   • Key settings include:
     • Function: Specifies the relay's operational purpose.
     • Startup State: Determines whether the relay initializes in an open or closed position.
     • Inverted: When checked, reverses the relay's normal state interpretation.
2. ICD (Input/Control Device):
   • Encompasses both physical and virtual control devices connected to LCM/RCM channels.
   • All control systems supporting virtual switches are displayed here.
   • Key components:
     • Channel Interface: Represents a physical device on the controller.
     • Virtual Interface: Software-based interfaces that can be purchased and activated for various control purposes.
   • The "Type" field indicates the specific category of control device.
   • Instance types for all ICDs, including those supporting virtual switches, can be configured in this tab.
   • A control system reboot is required to apply the "Type" field to the associated ECD instance.
3. Channel:
   • Used to define default group assignments for devices on each channel.
   • Changing group assignments here may convert the channel to a system group.
   • If a previously assigned group is no longer in use, it reverts to a normal group type.
