CONTROL TAB
The Control Tab allows you to configure pin assignments for the user-definable pins on Control/Status Port A and
Control/Status Port B of Converge Pro units.
The control ports enable external devices to access the Converge Pro complete serial command set, including
common functions such as volume control, muting, room combining, and preset changes. All Converge Pro devices
connected via the E-bus can be controlled from a single control/status port on any of the devices.
Accessing the Control Tab
To access command control, press the Control Tab on the Tab Bar in Console.
The Control tab of the Console main screen shows a graphical representation of Control/Status Port A. The pins
numbered in blue are user-definable command pins; the pins numbered in green are status pins. Control interface
functionality and pin programming are explained in the following sections.
User-Definable Pins
The user-definable pins provide GPIO control via contact closure, and GPIO status via open collector functions in
the unit. There are two user-definable pins on the B port of every unit. The number of user-definable pins on the A
port varies by model, as summarized in the following table:
