GPI/O :


You can assign a virtual GPI number to switch the input from internal bus to External (BNC).

GPIs

[OFF / 1 … 127]

GPIs are useful if you want to recall settings remotely (e.g. by
presets).
The C8k frame can handle 127 different GPIs. You must assign a
unique number to the respective function. Such numbers will be
generated by the brc8x Broadcast Remote Controller or by a GPI/O
interface module C8817. If the C8601 receives such a number over
the internal CAN bus, it may switch over to the external input.

GPOs (Tallies)

[OFF / 1 … 127]

GPOs may signal the status of a module through a GPO device.
This allows for easy interconnection with more generic monitoring
equipment. If an event occurs, the C8601 puts the assigned number
on the CAN bus so a C8817 GPI/O module or the brc8x may activate
their tallies.

E.g. if a Metadata Error occurs the C8601 puts the associated virtual
GPO number on the CAN bus. The GPI/O module permanently
listens for such numbers. If it reads such number it will engage the
respective physical GPO (see C8817 manual for details).
