Configuring a Node’s Operation
Digital Output Setup
1. Connect the digital signal destination devices to the connectors (D0–D3) and ground
(GND) of the following:
– i-Bean Endpoint’s digital terminal block (located on terminal board).
– i-Bean Router’s terminal pins (connector SL3).
See Figure 3-6 on page 3-14 for connector locations.
2. From iB-5209 Network Monitor, select Edit>Devices. The Edit Device window displays.
3. Enter the device ID of the desired node and click Set. The Edit Device window is now
ready to make any changes to the selected i-Bean Endpoint.
4. From the Digital I/O panel, select Output on each of the desired digital channels to use
as outputs (DIO 0—DIO 3).
5. Set the output signal high or low using the 1/0 box located next to the desired Output
button:
– Selected = 1 (output is set high)
– Not selected = 0 (output is set low)
6. Select Update.
iB-5209 Network Monitor displays the digital information for the node in the Digital I/O
Data column, where n> = output channel and n< = input channel (n = 1 or 0).
Note:
Input signals should not be applied when the i-Bean node is switched off. Since the
node is an extremely low power device, it’s possible that the input signal voltages
will keep the microcontroller active, preventing it from resetting properly when
switched back on. Also, when switched off, the terminal board will ground certain
pins, which can cause excessive current drain for the external peripheral connected
to it.
