3.4. OUTPUTS
3.4 Outputs
The unit has 4 discrete outputs located on the main molex connector.
Given their 2A current capacity they can drive a wide range of loads.
The outputs are of Open Drain type with no pull-up resistor. Mean-
ing that the user has to provide a pull-up resistor to any positive
voltage (
30V max.) to detect an inactive output by voltage. Each
output can drive a continuous current of 2A.
The electrical conditions are:
Logical State Electrical state
Active 0V
Inactive Open or the pull-up voltage (max 30V )
Outputs may be driven locally or remotely using the TAIP console
or the unit can be configured to automatically take outputs’ actions
depending on different situations. The
Event Machine’s signals asso-
ciated to outputs are:
Output Signal name Old signal name

Output 1
XP1 G04
Output 2
XP2 G05
Output 3
XP3 G06
Output 4
XP4 G07
Outputs activation and deactivation is controlled by the
SS
TAIP
message.
To activate output 3 send to the unit: Example
>
SSSXP31
<
To query its status:
>
QSSXP3
<
and the unit should return:
>
RSSXP31
<
To deactivate the output:
>
SSSXP30
