Ethernet
The Ethernet port is used to connect the appliance to your network. It uses a standard 10/
100/1000 cable.
Power
The power entry interface supplies 24VDC to the appliance from an external 110/220 VAC
power source.
External Event Triggering
The 9000 Series event triggering feature lets you use an external switch to control the
function of the VBrick. This section provides some examples of how to use this feature. In
all the examples, a high event is triggered when the switch is closed and a low event is
triggered when the switch is opened. The event trigger inputs on the VBrick recognize a
high
voltage anywhere above +8 volts DC with an upper limit of +12 volts. A
low
voltage is
anything at or below 0 volts DC with a lower limit of -12 volts. The event can also be
configured to run a script on Pin 7. See "Advanced Configurations > Event Triggering" in
the
Admin Guide
for configuration details; see RS-232/422/485 COM Port Pinouts for
pinout details.
The 9000 Series encoder has two COM ports and supports a total of four external events.
Note that Pin8 is used for UART control and cannot be used as a trigger.
Table 29.
Input Event and Associated Scripts
A total of four trigger voltage outputs are available for generating trigger inputs. The outputs
can be forced high or low (the voltage depends on whether you select RS232 or RS422/485)
and are configured on the Passthrough page. (Note that passthrough is only supported on
COM 2 so COM 1 outputs cannot be forced). The outputs are:
COM1 pin1 RTS
COM1 pin2 DTR
COM2 pin1 RTS
COM2 pin2 DTR
Note
You cannot execute a script using an event trigger if VBAdmin is currently running in
Edit
mode. If you run a script directly from VBAdmin, it automatically exits
Edit
mode
and terminates the active editing session.
