Eos Family Local Relay Out and Contact Closure Inputs

Eos Ti, Gio, Ion, Element, and Ion RPU all have local I/O ports that include a DB15 connector with four contact closures and a single relay out. For additional closures or relays, a Net3 I/O Gateway would be needed.

Additional Wiring Notes:

The contact input is looking for a 12Vdc connection.  If your contact input is a dry contact, then the console can be used to source this 12Vdc.  For example, let's say we have a dry contact for input number 1.  The wiring would be as follows:

Switch side 1 to pin 14 or 15 for 12Vdc.

Switch side 2 to pin 1.

Jumper from pin 2 to pin 12 or 13 on console for ground reference.

Note: The +12VDC pins are meant only to provide voltage when using a dry contact to trigger contact inputs. They are not rated to provide current for any external device.

To use the Relay Out

Example:

[Cue][1]{Execute}{Relay}[1][/][1]{On}[Enter]  --- This will turn relay 1 in "Relay Out Group 1" on when cue 1 is fired.

[Cue][2]{Execute}{Relay}[1][/][1]{Off}[Enter] --- This will turn Relay 1 in "Relay Out Group 1" off when cue  2 is fired.
