Section 2 — System Operations

GPI Buttons

Two user-configurable buttons,

GP I1

and

GPI 2

, (

Figure 2-9

) allow control of

MMCP functions and output relays and responses to opto-isolator inputs.
The buttons and functions are associated with the 12 GPI relays on the rear
of the M–2100 frame. Four GPI input relays are also provided on the rear of
the frame and can be configured as opto-inputs to trigger an M–2100 action
such as a cut or transition.

When pressed, the

GPI

button high tallies. If a

GPI

button is not configured

for one of the activities described below, pressing it has no effect, and
results in a warning beep.

GPI

button presses are ignored unless in the qui-

escent state.

Figure 2-9. GPI Buttons

The GPI buttons can be configured to perform one of the following actions
when the assigned button is pressed:

Assign an output relay (

GPI Outputs 1–12

) to perform a programmed

action, or

Arm opto-inputs (trigger a programmed M–2100 action from

GPI Opto-

inputs 1–4

).

These parameters are configured in the

GPI

form in the Configuration

Manager application described in the Installation and Service Manual.
