3.3.2. Input/Output Setup, Continued

General Setup

Enable Source: IO data can come from a number of locations. The first

source is the IO that is available internally within the Access terminal.
Additional IO can come from other Access terminals or other IO devices. Up to
three additional devices can be configured.

IO Source Type: This is the type of IO device the IO is coming from. PDQ IO

Node is supplied as the main IO board with a default of 10 controllable
outputs. Modbus IO is any device that has IO via the modbus protocol. The IO
Lan D4 is a modbus based device.

Description: Provide a short description of the IO source. This will be used on

this page as well as the IO diagnostic page to identify the IO source.

Host: Most external sources of IO are accessed via the network. Provide the

host name or IP address of the device that has the IO.

Port / Setup: For network based devices provide the TCP/UDP port to

connect to on the device for IO data. For modbus based devices a setup link
will be provided to configure how the terminal reads the IO via the modbus.

IO Server Setup

Enable Server: When this option is enabled, other terminals can access the

IO on this terminal.

Server Port: Provide a UDP port number that will provide the IO data from this

terminal.
