4E-GPIO

4E-GPIO is a DIN-rail mounted I/O interface with input surveillance and a redundant network link, dedicated to the 4EVAC system network.

It features programmable 16 in / 16 out pins, mandatory EVAC and FAULT status output contacts, a monitored analog audio input and a monitored RS-485 interface for integration with third-party external control panels. The 4E-GPIO can trigger any user defined event to any zone or set of zones in the entire system. It can also transmit an audio signal from the built-in local audio input to any zone over the system network.

The 4E-GPIO is connected to the L-Net interface of the Compact 500 main unit and may be daisy-chained with more L-Net devices. The 4E-GPIO may be used for emergency signals transmission, as well as for commercial purposes. As a component compliant with EN54-16, the 4E-GPIO features built-in surveillance of all input contacts, surveillance of serial ports, monitoring of audio inputs and network link surveillance. It also offers a redundant L-Net connection for backup of the critical transmission path.
