6.8 The GPI/O Trigger
The GPI/O (General Purpose Input/Output) port can be configured via the K-Config software.
Using GPI/O, you can select a wide range of states that can trigger a series of actions, for example,
when an alarm is set or if the room temperature exceeds a certain value.
Only GPI/O ports on the Master RC can be used in the Room Control setup. Once the Master RC is
set, the GPI/O trigger button appears:
Figure 84: The Add GPI/O Trigger Button
The GPI/O functionality is defined in the port manager as follows (see Figure 85 ):
• Analog input, digital input and digital output
• With or without the internal pull-up 1
• Threshold setup
resistor
Figure 85: Selecting GPI/O via the Port Manager
To set GPI/O, do the following:
1. In the Control Room area, select the Master RC that includes the GPI/O feature (for example,
SL-12).
2. Select the Port Manager tab.
3. In the desired GPI/O port, set the functionality of the port and name the port in the description
box (for example, Temperature High for Digital Input, see Figure 86 ).
You have to set the port functionality before you add commands to action lists.
