CAUTION!
For proper function of Shared Binary and Analog Inputs and Outputs, only one source of Shared
Binary or Analog Outputs must be configured (i.e. it is not possible to configure in one controller
SHBOUT1 and to another one as well SHBOUT1).

7.16 Distributed Binary Inputs and Outputs
InteliMains uses the same type of Distributed Binary Inputs and Outputs (DISTBIN and DISTBOUT
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.
DISTBIN and DISTBOUT work in a different way than SHBIN and SHBOUT. Each controller has one
pack of eight DISTBOUT available (if not configured or no function is assigned to any output, it does
not broadcast them). The number of DISTBOUT module is not shown in the configuration and it is
always corresponding to the CAN address of the controller (e.g. the controller with address 5 will be
broadcasting DISTBOUT-05 which can be received if module DISTBIN-05 is configured in another
controller. Up to 32 DISTBIN modules can be configured (meaning that the controller will be receiving
all DISTBOUT from all the controller, even his own).
It is not possible to change the name of DISTBIN inputs or add protections.
In the example below you can see 4 controllers with various DISTBIN and DISTBOUT configuration.

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.
