3.3.
Expansion to Three Outlets
iBoot-G2+ can be linked to two expansion
units, iBoot-Exp to control three outlets. All
three outlets are controlled and managed
through the iBoot-G2+ web page and CLI.
Each outlet is independently controlled.
AutoPing can be used to control the main
and expansion units independently as well.
3.4. Expansion
to
GPIO
When not used for expansion to iBoot-Exp, the Expansion Ports on the iBoot-G2+ can be used as general
purpose I/O (GPIO) to monitor and control additional devices. Inputs on the expansion ports can be used to
monitor alarm contacts, environmental sensors, relays and switch closures. The outputs can drive relays for
process control, security and environmental controls.
iBoot-G2+ uses Dataprobe Exchange Protocol (DxP) to communicate with other Dataprobe devices to allow
transport of GPIO information across the network. DxP protocol is available from Dataprobe’s website,
allowing you to create programs to monitor and control any Dataprobe DxP enabled device, or exchange
status and control between devices across the network.
