Relay Control Configuration (Dayforce Clock Pro Only)

You can configure Dayforce Clock Pro devices that are operating in standalone mode to close or open internal relays based on the results of clock entry validations or at scheduled intervals.

For example, you can configure the clock to open a relay for two seconds on any successful clock entry, while unsuccessful clock entries open a second relay for three seconds. The relays can be wired to external devices such as bells, buzzers, or external lights.

<relay_control_config>
Tag	Description
function_based	Sets whether relay control is based on functions (for example, clock entries). This tag contains the following attributes: `<enabled>`: Enables or disables relay control based on functions. To enable this functionality, set the enabled attribute to `enabled>yes</enabled>`. `<accepted>`: Sets which relay opens when clock entries are accepted and for how long it’s open. The `do1` and `do2` tags configure which relay opens, and for how long. To specify that a relay should open with an accepted clock entry, enter the number of milliseconds the relay opens for. For example, to open the do1 relay for 10,000 milliseconds, enter `<do1>10000</do1>`. To specify that a relay should close with an accepted clock entry, enter `none`. For example, to close the do2 relay, enter `<do2>none</do2>`. `<rejected>`: Sets which relay opens when clock entries are rejected and for how long it’s open. The `do1` and `do2` tags configure which relay opens, and for how long. To specify that a relay should open with a rejected clock entry, enter the number of milliseconds the relay opens for. For example, to open the do1 relay for 10,000 milliseconds, enter `<do1>10000</do1>`. To specify that a relay should close with a rejected clock entry, enter `none`. For example, to close the do2 relay, enter `<do2>none</do2>`.
schedule_based	Enables or disables relay control based on schedules. These schedules are configured in Dayforce in System Admin > Relay Control Schedules. To enable this functionality, set the enabled attribute to `enabled="yes"`.
