Relay ports — Four relay ports provide control for power, screen/projector
lifts, window coverings, and similar items, when trigger events occur.
These relay contacts may be used to control any
equipment as long as the contact specifications
of a total of 24 volts at 1 ampere are not exceeded
for each port. These relays are normally open by
default.
When activated, the closed contacts open, and
the open contacts close. They can be set up to
operate in one of two ways:
• latching (brief contact) (press to turn on, press
to turn off), or
• momentary (timed) (press to turn on, timeout
to turn off).
In the timed mode the default timeout period is
½ second (500 ms). Use the GC software or SIS
commands to change the length of the timeout
period. See
chapter 4, for details.
g
Input (contact closure input) ports —
To allow the IPL 250 to monitor devices to
trigger events, connect a switch, sensor, or
similar item to one of these four ports. See the
figure at right for an example.
A 1k ohm pull-up resistor in a TTL (5 VDC)
circuit senses external switch or contact
closure. After these ports have been
configured, when the circuit between a signal
pin and a ground pin is closed, each port can
trigger events (such as toggling relays, issuing
commands, or sending an e-mail).
h
MAC address — This is the unique user
hardware ID number (MAC address) of the
unit (for example, 00-05-A6-00-00-01). You
may need this address during configuration.
