Analog Signal Bridge
Fig. 6 Typical 4 Channel Analog input to Analog Output Signal Bridge
A common configuration for the ADIO Wireless Bridge is as an Analog signal bridge. By default the ADIO
Wireless Bridge is configured to accept 0-10V analog inputs. By configuring a second Wireless Bridge for
Analog outputs the analog input voltages on the transmitting radio will appear at the outputs on the
receiving radio. Not all channels need to be the same type. Each channel can be configured as an analog
input, analog output, 4-20mA input, Digital input or a Digital output. For simplicity, Figure 6 shows one
radio with all Analog inputs and a second device with all Analog outputs.
Devices use channel tokens to determine if signals should be replicated and output. For I/O line passing
to occur, one channel must be an input and the corresponding channel must be set to be an output. The
channel token values must also match. It is possible to have a single input driving the signal outputs on
multiple radios.
To set up the Wireless Bridge for Analog I/O line passing:
For any radio with Analog
inputs:
1.
Set the channel token value for each channel that will be used. This value can be different for
each channel or it can be the same, but a value set in channel 1 will not enable a different
channel. To set a channel token at the command prompt type:
ADIO> set ch.X.token YYYY where “X” is the channel number 1-4 and “YYY” is any value from 0
up to 4 million.
2.
Set the io.txrate value in milliseconds.
3.
Use set store to save the configuration.
