7.8. Remote Setup Applications
Bidirectional Relay Transport
In this application, two iPIO units share input status over
the network. The relays of each unit reflect the input
status of the other.

Set each iPIO as a remote of the other.

Set each remote relay to match the input of the local.

Set an alarm relay to provide link supervision (alarm relay notification if communications fails).
Multi-Site Event Consolidation
In this application, many reporting sites communicate to
one central site. Any input change from any of the
remote sites is reflected in the output at the central site.

Set each reporting unit with the IP address of the
central site as a remote.

Set each input of the reporting unit to the same relay
on the central unit.

To get consolidated link supervision, add all the
reporting sites as remotes in the central unit, and set
an alarm relay.
Application 3 Multi-Site Event Distribution
In this application, one central sites broadcasts status
information to multiple remote sites.

Set all remote sites as remotes in the central unit.

To get link supervision at the remote sites, add the
central unit as a remote, and set an alarm relay in
each location.
The flexibility of the iPIO allows many other combinations of control and reporting. Contact Dataprobe
