Distributed Binary Inputs and Outputs

It is possible to share Binary and Analog values between all the controllers via CAN bus, thus saving
physical Inputs and Outputs and excess wiring.
DISTBIN and DISTBOUT work in a different way than SHBIN and SHBOUT. Each controller has one pack of
eight DISTBOUT available (if not configured or no function is assigned to any output, it does not broadcast
them). The number of DISTBOUT module is not shown in the configuration and it is always corresponding to
the CAN address of the controller (e.g. the controller with address 5 will be broadcasting DISTBOUT-05
which can be received if module DISTBIN-05 is configured in another controller. Up to 32 DISTBIN modules
can be configured (meaning that the controller will be receiving all DISTBOUT from all the controller, even
his own).
It is not possible to change the name of DISTBIN inputs or add protections.
In the example below you can see 4 controllers with various DISTBIN and DISTBOUT configuration.

Controller sends Distributed Binary Outputs each 100ms if there are any changes in any bit position. If there
are no changes, controller sends the information with period 1s.

DISTBIN and DISTBOUT function is not available for IM-NT-GC and IG-NT(C)-GC controller.

DISTBIN and DISTBOUT function is conditioned by IGS-NT-LSM+PMS dongle.
