INTRODUCTION The Model WAIO Wide Area Input and Output Module from Siemens Building
Technologies, Inc., as shown in Figure 1, is a remotely located, general purpose
input / output module. It provides four supervised input circuits (dry contacts only) for
remote system monitoring and four open collector outputs to drive LEDs, incandes-
cent lamps, or external relays.

Wide Area Input and Ouput Module (WAIO)
OPERATION Every time a change of state of the input is detected, a unique RS485 message is
sent to the NCC. A message from the NCC directed to the WAIO will control the
open collectors to activate any of the four outputs to drive LEDs, 24 incandescent
lamps or relays. The WAIO has the flexibility to communicate to the NCC through the
HUB-4 at a distance of up to 1200 feet over data grade lines.
Controls and Indicators The WAIO has one reset push button, one yellow LED and two green LEDs. The
reset button will reset the WAIO only and not the remote system to which it is
connected.
POWER (Green) Normally ON. When illuminated, indicates that power
for the WAIO is applied to the card.
