13: I/O Configuration

The I/O tab in ACEmanager applies to all Sierra Wireless AirLink gateways that
feature I/O ports.
You can use the input/outputs on AirLink gateways to generate reports based on a
threshold being crossed, a switch being opened or closed, or the number of times a
switch has changed state.
Use the Events Reporting screen to configure reports. (See
Configuration
and digital inputs, to turn the relays on and off, and to configure the units you want
used in the reports based on analog inputs.
The number of digital and analog input/outputs depends on the device.

AirLink RV50 Series

The AirLink RV50 Series has:
• One pin (Pin 4 on the power connector) that can be configured as a digital input/
output, relay output, or analog input.
• Pull-up is available for digital input.
More information
For more information, refer to the Hardware Configuration User Guide for your AirLink
gateway.

Analog inputs

Analog inputs monitor a voltage range in small increments. This allows you to monitor
equipment that reports status as an analog voltage. Examples include:
• Power supply voltage
• Temperature, weight, volume, flow represented as voltage
• An incremental gauge with a voltage output
• Vehicle battery voltage
The raw data for the changes being monitored is in volts, but you can use the I/O
Configuration screen in ACEmanager to convert voltage to the desired units of
measurement. See

Digital inputs

Digital inputs monitor contact closures on a switch. This allows you to monitor
changes such as:
• When a door or latch is open or closed
• When a container is full or empty
• When a switch or valve is opened or closed
• The level of fuel in a vehicle (connected to an on/off sensor)
• When the trunk of a vehicle is opened or closed
