8-Way Smart IO Board Network
6
The NEMTEK 8-way Smart IO Board can be used for one-to-one communication to a Druid 2x energizer
or 8-way Relay Board. This is useful where the energizer needs remote communication to a third-party
device like an alarm panel. The board provides 8 inputs and 8 relay outputs that can be independently
linked to different inputs and outputs of the energizer (or 8-way Relay Board), by using the software
application. The figure below shows the possible connections. Although the boards and energizers are
connected on an ethernet network in the third diagram, every Smart IO Board can only communicate to
one energizer. In this network setup, the FG7 can only communicate with the energizers and not with the
8-way Relay board. The ethernet link between the two network switches can be replaced with an optic
fibre link if longer distances are required. The NEMTEK Power Pack may be used to provide a 12 V supply
with battery backup to the FG7 and 8-way Smart IO Board.
