Preset GPIO Builder/GPIO Command Assignment
GPIO stands for general-purpose input/output. The GPIO Builder is
where you establish the pin assignments for Control/Status Port A.
These pins are used to provide control via contact closure and status
via open collector functions in the unit. Note that the pins numbered in
blue are command pins; the pins numbered in green are status pins.
Click the GPIO Builder button in the Preset Configuration pane (or the
button in the G-Ware toolbar). The Preset GPIO Builder window
appears.
Using the mouse, select the Control/Status A pin(s) for which you wish
to set commands. Select the Use in Preset box for each one you wish to
use in the preset.
Note that the Active (Low) Command pane reflects the default
command string for the pin selected. To make changes to the
command string, enter them directly in the Active Command pane or
select the desired parameters in the pull-down menus along the bottom
of the window.
When you select a different command in the Command menu, the
other pull-down menus change to reflect changeable parameters.
The Command Description and Argument Description panes
reflect command and argument information. You can modify this
information in the panes as desired.
Apply applies the changes you have made to the selected pin. Clear
resets the window to default parameters.
Click Close to save changes and return to the Preset Selection pane.

Pins 17-25 are not user-
definable. See Appendix B
for Control/Status Port A
pinout information.
GPIO commands can be
configured only for the
local PSR1212 unit.
Odd-numbered pins are
control pins. Even-num-
bered pins are status pins.
