About the configuration
The setup is on delivery a standard setup made for a quick start and a basic system setup.
The inputs are set to work as digital inputs.
The radio channel is set to channel 1 (433.075 MHz) and the IRIS-IO is set to send and receive broadcast messages.
Every change on an input will generate a broadcast message that will change the corresponding output on the IRIS-IO that
are listening. For an IRIS-IO to react it must be set to the same radio channel and set to receive broadcast messages.
No other functions are implemented in this setup but all settings can be changed using the IRIS-Configuration tool (see the
CD for installation files).
Using IRIS-IO for other applications
The IRIS products are made for monitoring and controlling external system. The standard setup is of course not suitable
for all applications so feel free to change the settings according to the current application. The original configuration file is
available on the CD.
Examples on what can be done:
· The inputs can individually be set to work as either digital or analogue inputs.
· High and low for digital inputs can be set to match the input signals.
· Analogue inputs have two different limits that can be detected and the value of the signal can be read. The value can be
scaled so that the value corresponds with for example a temperature from a sensor.
· The radio channel can be changed if there is interference from other equipment. All IRIS units must be set to the same
channel to be able to communicate with each other.
· The destination of a message can be changed. A message can be broadcasted or sent with an address. If a message is
broadcasted all IRIS units on the same channel that are set to receive broadcast messages will receive it and will be able
to take proper actions. Only the intended IRIS unit will receive an addressed message and a receipt will be sent to the
transmitter to verify that the message was delivered.
· The IRIS can detect predefined texts in messages, via both the serial interface and the radio, and take different actions
depending on the text.
· Timers, counters and flags can be used to make a more flexible setup.
· Radio networks can contain several nodes where the IRIS units communicate with each other via other IRIS modules that
are in between.
