Save time and wiring cost over long distance wiring in remote automation through Direct Input-to-Output Signal Communication. When Local DI status change from on/off, the corresponding Remote DO status on/off will be changed at the same time. It could also apply to local wiring. For example, if I/O Modules’ DI is connecting to a temperature sensor sensing current temperature is too high, the correspondent DO connecting to a ventilation system will automatically turned on.

Direct Input-to-Output Signal Communication is divided into One Way Communication (Local DI Trigger Local DO) and Two Way Communication (Local DI Trigger Remote DO). One Way Communication is when Local DI Trigger Local DO within the same unit of I/O Module.

Meanwhile Two Way Communication is when Local DI (Device A) triggers Remote DO (Device B).

4-2-1 — Local DI Trigger Local DO (Level Type)

Level trigger is a condition where the output changes during either the high voltage or the low voltage period of the input. In other words, the change in output status is followed by the change in input status. Level Trigger that applied is Negative Level triggering (flip flop at Low Level)

Lift access control system is a combination of I/O Modules and Access Controller that designed to permit the use of elevator to reach all or designated access floor only accessible by user with authorized access credential (RFID tags, fingerprint, face, or QR Code). Access Controller will assess the access credential presented by user and if the access is valid, it will send command to I/O Modules to activated elevator button for all or designated access floor.

How it works

Example: Lift Access Control System for User A in his office 10th floor and basement parking lot B1.

• Assigned User A has been assigned to access 10th floor and B1
• User A enter the lift and swipe his credential to the Lift Controller and he can press 10th floor button
• Other person that has is not his coworker could not access 10th floor
• If User A forgot to bring his card, he can ask management to remotely activate 10th floor access so User A can press it once he is inside the lift (remote control through 701ClientSQL Graphic Animation Feature)
