EST3 Training Part 2: Outputs, Wildcards & Variables
EST3 Training – Part 2: Outputs, Wildcards & Variables
In this episode, Anthony Richardson continues the EST3 Rule Architect™ Training, breaking down rule writing, syntax structure, and advanced logic programming for Edwards EST3 fire alarm systems. This session focuses on inputs, outputs, wildcards, and in-variables that define how devices communicate and activate across the network.
Highlights
Understanding Rules:
How to properly structure rule labels, syntax, inputs, and outputs.
Input vs. Output Logic:
Learn how input events trigger predefined output functions within the EST3 system.
Common Mistakes:
Avoid syntax errors, typos, and missing punctuation that cause failed compilations.
Wildcards & In-Variables:
Use wildcards (*) to activate multiple devices and in-variables to control logic using numerical ranges or math operators.
Hands-On Programming:
Anthony demonstrates writing rules for smokes, pulls, tampers, and elevator recall functions in the text editor.
Project Practice:
Assignments for students include adding devices, writing rules, and compiling programs successfully.
Key Takeaway
Mastering EST3 logic programming means thinking like the panel understanding how every input state translates to an output action.
