4.4 Inputs / Outputs – special considerations
Allocating the IDEC SmartRelay inputs/outputs
All of the inputs/outputs, which are physically allocated on the
IDEC SmartRelay or an expansion module, are not available
for allocation as virtual inputs/outputs.
Only the outputs on additional I/O modules can be issued in
parallel to the LON.
Using the IDEC SmartRelay inputs / outputs on
the L
ON
W
ORKS
® Communication Module
To access the IDEC SmartRelay outputs (Q1 to Q4) directly
via the bus communications, these must be joined in the
IDEC SmartRelay application with free virtual BUS inputs.
To map the IDEC SmartRelay inputs (I1 - I8) as outputs on
the BUS, these must be joined with free virtual BUS outputs
in the IDEC SmartRelay application.
Feedback value
Feedback variables are required for status displays for a
variety of applications (primarily lighting applications).
These are not directly supported by the L
ON W ORKS ®
Communication Module.
However, an internal operation using IDEC SmartRelay
inputs/outputs is enough to display the status information on
the IDEC SmartRelay.
