GPI Input
The Gangway32 has 32 General Purpose Interface inputs and 32
General Purpose Interface outputs.
The inputs can be used to sense external signals such as tallies and
alarms. These pins are a CMOS input. The input signal must be
limited to between 0 and 5 volts referenced to ground. This input
is pulled up to +5 volts with an internal pullup resistor. This
makes it compatible with dry relay contacts, optoisolators and open
collector outputs.
The outputs can be used to trigger external devices such as
indicators and alarms. These pins are a CMOS outputs. The
outputs must be limited to between 0 and 5 volts referenced to
ground.
The pinout of the GPI ports is listed in the table on the following
page.
