5.4.2. DI/DO for FW3870/FW5870
There are 8 serial Input ports and 8 output ports in FW3850 and FW5850 models. A good example of
the Input and Output usage is, an external sensor can be connected to the Input port, and a warning
light is triggered by the Output port.
DI/DO Setup
Each Input and Output port can be assigned unique name respectively, so that you can easily
distinguish every Input and Output ports from others by those names. This can be very useful in case
of managing multiple sites with separate FlexWATCH Servers, where you can quickly and correctly
identify which Sensor Input is detected or determines which Alarm Output needs to be activated.
You can define Sensor Input Name and Alarm Output Name as you want, which should be up to
31 alphanumeric or up to 15 Unicode characters. After assigning names, click Apply button to take
effect.
DI/DO Control
FW3850 and FW5850 have 8 output ports and they act like a push button. When you click On button,
it is essentially like the push button is pressed. When you click Off button, it is like the push button is
not pressed.
FW3850 and FW5850 have 2 built-in Module respectively, and each Built-in Module has 4 Alarm
Outputs. The status of Sensor Input can be monitored through DI. When the checkbox is marked,
that means the Alarm is activated. When it’s not marked, then the Alarm is not activated.
