GPIO In (QIO-GP8x8)
The QIO-GP8x8 includes eight General Purpose Input pins for extension of Q-SYS Control to third-party devices. In the Q-SYS Designer Software component properties, you can configure the input signal type for each pin – digital, contact closure, potentiometer, analog, or raw.
The GPIO In component represents the GPIO INPUTS connection pins on the rear of the QIO-GP8x8. Use one of the included 10-position black Euro connectors.
1-8
Eight inputs, 0-24V DC analog input or contact closure. Pins 1-8 are the equivalent of pins 1-8 in the Q-SYS Designer Software GPIO In component.
Ground
Signal ground reference for GPIO input connection.
The GPIO In component represents the GPIO INPUTS connection pins on the rear of the QIO-FLEX4A. Use one of the included 14-position black Euro connectors.
1-4
Four inputs, 0-24V DC analog input or contact closure. Pins 1-4 are the equivalent of pins 1-4 in the Q-SYS Designer Software GPIO In component.
Tip: For additional properties not listed, refer to the Properties Panel help topic for more information.
GPIO-1 to 8
Type
Select the type of GPIO input:
- Digital Input (TTL 3.3V)
- Contact Closure Input
- Potentiometer (10k Ohm, 12V)
- Potentiometer (2-wire)
- Analog Input (0-24V, low z)
- Raw
Digital Input
This LED illuminates when there is a digital input present on a GPIO pin. Supported Types:
- Digital Input (+3.3VDC)
- Contact Closure – When this Type is selected, the pin has approximately 9 to 10VDC present when the contact is open (or nothing is connected) and the LED is off. When the contact is closed (pin is shorted to ground), the LED is on.
- Raw
Analog Input
The analog input knob appears for these Types:
- Analog – allows a low impedance, 0 – 24VDC signal input
- Raw
Both input voltages are displayed on a read-only knob control.
Potentiometer: Min Position, Calibrate Min, Max Position, Calibrate Max
The Potentiometer knob follows the position of the physical potentiometer connected to the GPIO pin. To calibrate Q-SYS to the potentiometer:
- Turn the physical potentiometer to its minimum position.
- Click the Calibrate Min button. A value displays in the Min Position field.
- Turn the physical potentiometer to its maximum position.
- Click the Calibrate Max button. A value displays in the Max Position field.
If you know the values for Min Position or Max Position, you can enter them manually.
Pullup Enable
When enabled, provides a 5.11K pull-up resistor to +12VDC on the input pin when the Type is Raw.
