APPLICATIONS
As shown below, the 5820 receives GPI information from a third party automation system.
The module is then configured to send messages to any Avenue module on the network to
recall memory registers. The optional Remote Control Panel shown here can monitor
status of the GPI inputs. From the serial interface port of the 5820, an external device can
also activate the same recall functions. The interface supports both RS-232 and RS-422
standards and uses a simple ASCII-based protocol for easy interconnection.
INSTALLATION
Plug the 5820 module into any one of the slots in the 1 RU or 3 RU frame. Install the
plastic overlay provided onto the corresponding group of rear BNC connectors associated
with the module location. Note that the plastic overlay has an optional adhesive backing
for securing it to the frame. Use of the adhesive backing is only necessary if you would
like the location to be permanent and is not recommended if you need to change module
locations. This module may be hot-swapped (inserted or removed) without powering down
or disturbing performance of the other modules in the system.
CABLING
Cabling to the 5820 module is done through the
Control
connector at the bottom of the
module backplane. Refer to the next section for control interface connections.
