I/O Controllers
I/O controllers accept external inputs to the E3 system and activate relay contacts or logical outputs from
the Elemec3 system. The I/O CONTROLLERS SUMMARY screen displays the I/O controllers configured in
the system.
Figure 47. I/O Controllers Summary
IO Control Socket—This field is only for IP I/O cards. It defines the IP communication channel
between the E3 controller and the IP I/O devices on the network. All IP I/O devises communicate on the
same control socket. The socket number consists of a multicast IP address and port number separated by
a colon (:). The default I/O Control Socket is 239.238.238.238:50000.
