4.4 I/O Tab (Add, edit and delete I/O)
Resources within a device are called “I/O” (Input/Output). An I/O object is a specific relay, digital input,
sensor, etc. For example, each of the four relays in a WebRelay-Quad are separate I/O objects. I/O
objects can be displayed on a web page or accessed with scripts by name. I/O must be registered in the
same manner as devices are registered in order for the X-600M to know how to monitor and control
them. The I/O sub-menu automatically updates with the I/Os from any registered devices.
There are currently 13 basic I/O types that are found on ControlByWeb devices. These are: relays,
digital inputs, analog inputs, analog outputs, 1-Wire sensors, thermocouples, frequency inputs, counters,
AC outlets, internal supply voltage, input high times, input on times and external variables. There are 6
application specific I/O types that are only available when an X-300 in thermostat mode has been
configured under the devices tab. These are Cool Relays, Heat Relays, Fan Relays, Indoor
Temperatures, Indoor Humidities, and Outdoor Temperatures. There is a special serial port I/O type that
is available when a USB to serial port converter is connected to the X-600M. There is also a special I/O
type for irrigation valves found on the SmartStorm X-340 which mimics the behavior of the irrigation
valves on the X-340 (Timer countdown, etc.). Finally, there are 13 I/O types that are available when an
X-320M has been configured under the devices tab. These I/O deal with weather data: Barometric
Pressure, Dew Point, Heat Index, Irrigation Valve, Rain Last Hour, Solar Radiation, Total Rain, Wind
Chill, Wind Direction, Wind Speed, Wind Gust Direction, Wind Gust Speed.
Internal registers are another form of I/O found on the X-600M. These are virtual I/O and can be thought
of as a scratch pad in memory. They can hold any value. Registers can be monitored and changed
through the Dashboards, and can be changed by a Lua script. Generally they are used with a formula to
process raw I/O into a value with user or engineering units.
The tabs on the left side of the I/O overview screen list I/O resources that are available on the devices
you have registered. If for example, no modules with relays are registered, the I/O menu list will not
have a relay tab.
