LX Series Remote Input/Output (I/O) Controller Product Bulletin1The LX Series Remote Input/Output (I/O) controller extends the capability of the LX Series system as well as monitors and controls various Heating, Ventilating, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) applications.The LX Remote I/O controllers are based on LONWORKS® technology for interoperability and peer-to-peer communication between controllers without any intermediary but also integrate seamlessly into Facility Explorer. Figure 1: LX-IO520-1 ControllerTable 1: Features and BenefitsFeaturesBenefitsConfigurable SoftwareFeatures wizards that provide the ability to easily configure inputs and outputs. You can also configure input and output properties and hardware Simple Network Variable Types (SNVTs).Robust HardwareFeatures a light-weight, fire retardant plastic enclosure; software configurable universal inputs; Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) or digital triac outputs; a status indicator on each output; and a fuse-protected power supply.InteroperabilityFeatures peer-to-peer communication between controllers based on LONWORKS technology. The Remote I/O controller is LONMARK® certified according to the Interoperability Guidelines Version 3.4.LX Series Remote Input/Output (I/O) ControllerProduct BulletinLX-IO520-1, LX-IO401-1, LX-IO301-1Code No. LIT-12011491Issued June 22, 2009LX Series Remote Input/Output (I/O) Controller Product Bulletin2LX Remote I/O Controller OverviewYou can configure the Remote I/O controller by using LX wizards and Facility Explorer. The wizard configuration interface is designed to simplify the configuration of input and output properties such as input types, input minimum/input maximum values, output types, and network variable types.Remote I/O Configuration WizardThis powerful and intuitive wizard provides easy customization of hardware I/O, and communication schemes. Easily configure all of the devices’ parameters, including inputs and outputs.
