Zone Addressing with On-board RIO Switch (Line 0 Switch)
The RIO switch (SW3, dipswitch 8) controls the ordering of the on-board RIO’s. This dipswitch must be set
before powering up the panel. Setting the switch to ON sets the on-board RIO1 to operate on line 0 and
allows a RIO addressed as 1 to be connected to line 1, giving a total of 15 RIO’s on a GX-520. The RIO switch
only needs to be activated if the maximum number of RIO’s will be used.
NOTE: The RIO switch is not functional on other panel variants. It defaults to the Switch off configuration.
Switch off (default)
When the switch is set to this mode, the on-board RIO’s configure to the following addresses:
On-board RIO0 Zone address range: 1001-1008 Outputs: 1001-1004
On-board RIO1 Zone address range: 1011-1018 Outputs: 1011-1014
Switch on
When the switch is set to this mode, the on-board RIO’s configure to the following addresses:
On-board RIO0 Zone address range: 1001-1008 Outputs: 1011-1014
On-board RIO1 Zone address range: 0011-0018 Outputs: 0011-0014
