io mux
Overview and configuration of input/output ports IO mux
| 1. Select input/output type | ||
|---|---|---|
| On the left side there are defined MC controller (MC-230) ports to which could be assigned MC-230 functions (digital, linker reset, router reset, etc). | ||
| Default settings are for e.g. QX0 → digital 1 while digital 1 is defined for consumer 1 (settings page). It could be changed in a way to define new function role to QX0 port e.g. for linker reset | ||
| If it is selected Enable consumer at input IX0,IX1 or IX2 it means that dedicated consumer will be managed (ON/OFF) by input signal on IX0,IX1 or IX2. For example, thermostat signal is wired to IXO port and via IO mux defined “Enable consumer 1” to IX0. While thermostat is active, it is consumer 1 active as well and vice versa. | ||
| Limitations: one temperature sensor is allowed, one consumer could be managed by one input only |
