18. GPIO
18.4.1 GPIO Net TCP
Each GPIO Net TCP element can handle 32 GPIO signals and 10 level controls.
In the sending device, use the General tab to define the port number, options and the signal parameters which
will be transmitted via the GNET port.
Reference name for the element.
The port number (from 1 to 255).
Assigns an input control signal (e.g. logic “true”) to modify the port number. Use this when
working with multiple consoles so that each console can communicate with the router via
different GNET ports.
If the third and/or fourth byte of the destination IP address are defined, only messages
concerning this address/area are sent out. For example, when transmitting from a system
with the default IP address (192.168.101.241), you might set the 3rd Byte = 101 and 4th Byte
= 241.
This can reduce the network overhead and improve speed in large configurations. Note that
received messaged are not affected by these fields.
This field applies an offset to mic arbitration numbers. Apply this to each GNET port within the
central router so that the mic arbitration numbers for different consoles are discrete.
Assigns the control functions which will be transmitted.
Assigns the level controls which will be transmitted.
