OK, I have an LCS issue that I have yet to crack. Specifically, I'm using the DZ-2500 switch machines with the CSM2 sensor boxes for detecting switch positions.
For a "normal" configuration switch, that works out fine, they all work like you'd expect. The LCS display on the iPad detects the switch position properly no matter how the switch position is changed. That's great!
I did have to address one issue as to why some of the switches didn't work properly, it turns out the DZ-2500 puts out a position that's dependent on the position of the arm on the switch machine, that makes perfect sense. However, depending on the switch and where the switch machine is mounted, that reverses the polarity of the sensing output lines! OOPS! OK, so you have to use the yellow instead of the green lead from the DZ-2500, then it all works. Problem solved, and those switches all work great now on the LCS iPad display.
Now the problem. On some of the switches, the "out" path of the switch is really the thru route, and the "thru" path is the "out" route. This is not an issue with the DZ-2500, you can swap the sense of the switch in the configuration, all is well, right? Well, it seems there's no way to convince the LCS to properly handle the situation where you reverse the sense of the red and green LED's on the switch machine to accommodate this situation. The result is the LCS display gets all confused about where the switch is, and when you try to change the position on the iPad, you press once and the display changes but the switch doesn't move. Another press and the switch moves, but the indication is incorrect anyway! I tried swapping the sense of the feedback to the CSM2, but that doesn't address the issue. I confess, I'm stumped.
The only way I see to fix this is to actually move the LED's on the switch and not swap the "thru" and "out" sense of the switch. I'm wondering how others using the DZ-2500/CSM2 have solved this LCS issue?
