7.15  Shared Inputs and Outputs 
InteliMains  uses  the  same  type  of  Shared  Inputs  and  Outputs  (SHBOUT,  SHBIN,  SHAIN  and 
SHAOUT modules) as InteliGen and InteliSys. Thanks to this, it is possible to share Binary and Analog 
values between all the controllers via CAN bus, thus saving physical Inputs and Outputs and excess 
wiring.

Figure: Principal Scheme (same for shared Binary I/O and shared Analogue I/O 
Shared Binary Inputs and Outputs may be used exactly in the same way as standard physical Inputs 
and  Outputs.  If  SHBIN  or  SHAIN  modules  are  configured,  at  least  one  corresponding  module  of 
SHBOUT  or  SHAOUT  (respectively)  is  needed.  If  it  is  not  configured,  corresponding  protection 
appears because SHBIN or SHAIN will be missing. See the figure below for more information. 
NOTE:    
If SHUTDOWN (RED) protection is chosen, it is interpreted in InteliMains as Mains Protect with Reset 
type  protection.  For  more  information  on  Protection  types  and  alarms  please  refet  to  the  chapter 
Protection and Alarms management.
