  • Page 4: Introduction

    Introduction Thank you for choosing the Atlas GPI Smart Matrix. The Atlas is essentially a 24 input by 24 output matrix. Each of the 24 outputs has the ability to act on any of the inputs or combination of inputs. In addition, the behavior of the outputs can be modified to suit your requirements.

  • Page 5: Identification

    Identification Front Panel The front panel of the Atlas forms the user interface of the unit. It comprises a 2 line by 40 character display, 10 illuminated buttons, a rotary encoder knob and the units power switch. The front panel shows the status of the GPI Inputs and GPI Outputs. It also allows the various parameters in the unit to be viewed and modified.

EDIT ASSIGN Pressing the EDIT and ASSIGN buttons simultaneously initializes the Ethernet settings of the Atlas to factory default values.

  • Page 8: Operation

    Operation Status The status screens allow various aspects of the Atlas to be seen. The loaded preset and the states of the GPI Inputs and GPI Outputs can all be seen from the front panel by simply pressing the STATUS button. Pressing the STATUS button toggles the display as follows:...

  • Page 9: Output Status

    In the example above, GPI Inputs 7, 15 and 23 are active and all the others are inactive. Programming The Logic Engine When the Atlas is shipped from the factory or an initialization has been performed, the outputs of the Atlas have no assignments and therefore don't do any thing. For the Atlas GPI Outputs to perform any function, GPI Output Assignments must be programmed.

  • Page 11 Atlas User Manual Out# 1= No Assignment In this screen, a multiple term GPI Output Assignment with logic can be made. That is, a GPI Output can be controlled by multiple GPI Inputs with a logic equation. To change an assignment, press the EDIT button.

  • Page 12: Output Modification

    When the Atlas is shipped from the factory or an initialization has been performed, the outputs of the Atlas follow the output of the logic engine. The behavior of the GPI Outputs can be modified to be inverted, toggled or generate a pulse. This behavior is configured in the Output Modification Menu.

  • Page 13: Normal And Inverted

    Atlas User Manual Out# 1= Normal The ‘1’ text in the display will flash. This indicates that the selected GPI Output can be changed by turning the encoder knob. Turn the encoder knob to select the desired GPI Output you wish to modify.

  • Page 14: Toggled

    This can be any value between 0:00:00.000 and 8:59:59:990. Length When a logic engine output is activated, the Atlas waits a period (Delay Time) and generates an inverted pulse (Pulse Length) on the GPI Output. This time is specified in hours, minutes, seconds and tens of milliseconds.

  • Page 15: Technical Reference

    Technical Reference GPI Input The Atlas has 24 GPI Inputs. There are two sets of inputs, CMOS and optoisolator inputs. CMOS INPUTS The CMOS inputs are intended to be used with equipment that produces 0 to 5 volt logic signals.

  • Page 16: Optoisolator Inputs

    Optoisolator INPUTS The optoisolator inputs are intended to be used with equipment that must be electrically isolated from the Atlas. The optoisolator inputs use an LED input that requires a small DC current to activate the input. 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24...

    Atlas User Manual GPI Output The Atlas has 24 GPI Outputs. There are two sets of outputs, CMOS and relay outputs. CMOS OUTPUTS The CMOS outputs are intended to be used with equipment that requires 0 to 5 volt logic signals.

  • Page 18: Relay Outputs

    The relay outputs are intended to be used with equipment that must be electrically isolated from the Atlas. The relay outputs provide a dry or unpowered contact. The relay outputs can switch a small DC current to activate the remote equipment.
