7.9. MIMO88 GPIs/GPOs section
GPIs/GPOs section basically allows two functions:
 Monitoring the 0 - 10 VDC signal detected in GPI inputs (8 or 16 inputs, depending on whether it
is a MIMO88 or a couple MASTER-SLAVE). The monitoring is displayed in the window under the
GPI name (GPI1, GPI2, etc.) and as a percentage of the maximum possible value (0 to 100%)
 Monitoring and modifying the GPI output status (8 or 16 outputs, depending on whether it is a
MIMO88 or a couple MASTER-SLAVE).
MIMO88's GPI and GPO ports allow you to connect external control hardware and to interact with these
units: potentiometers, push buttons, limit switches, lights, motors, etc.
A GPI port (General Purpose Input) is a MIMO88 physical connection that lets read the DC voltage
applied to it, and that can vary within the range of 0 to 10 VDC (0 to 100% in the screen readings, ).
This is a control input (no audio), linkable to EclerNet Manager virtual controls and therefore to the
MIMO88. Each GPI port has 3 contacts: ground, detection terminal and +VDC (pictured from left to
right). Thus it is possible to feed a passive element such as a potentiometer, using the power supplied by
the GPI port itself, as in this example:
See the MIMO88 hardware manual for other options of connection to GPI ports.
