The GPI16 Card
Introduction
The AXON GPI16 card is a universal Synapse GPI I/O
(Input/Output) card. The card is capable of forcing GPI output
triggering based on events that are generated by cards located in the
same rack. (E.g. An alarm/event generated by any specific card in
frame. This alarm/event is put on the bus. The GPI16 card will
monitor the internal bus for events and close a relay in case of an
event.)
The GPI16 can also be used as a slave card for Synapse functions, the
8x1 switcher or the VWI10 card for example. In these applications it
is possible to control functions directly in to a Master, e.g. GPI based
channel selection of the 8x1 switcher SDX08.
Back planes
The GPI16 can be used with the BPL06 backplane.
Miscellaneous The GPI16 cards fit into the Axon SFR18 or SFR04 rack.
LEDs on the front of the board indicate the presence of electrical
input signals & Processor Errors.
The GPI16 can be controlled by Axon Synapse Set-Up Software.
