IR/Serial output labeled IR/SERIAL 1 – 8 (ipCUE-alpha, ipCUE-beta, ipCUE-delta, ipCUE-epsilon) or IR/SERIAL 1 – 2 (ipCUE-gamma) provides output for infra-red emitters (IR Adapter /i) or eight RS-232 serial outputs (one way). Maximum IR output rate is 1.2 MHz, maximum serial data rate is 115 200 Bd (bps).
9.8. GENERAL I/O General IO labeled GENERAL I/O 1 - 8 (not applied in ipCUE-beta) provide analog input as well as digital output. Each general I/O port can be used either as input or as output. Analog input is rated 0 – 5 VDC, digital output offers 80 mA. Pull-up resistor 680 ohms connected to +5 VDC can be switched on and off for each IO independently.
9.9. AUX (Low Voltage Relay) This connector labeled AUX 1 – 2 (ipCUE-alpha, ipCUE-gamma) or AUX 1 – 8 (ipCUE-epsilon) or AUX 1 – 16 (ipCUE-delta) provides one isolated low voltage relay. Normally Close and Normally Open contacts as well as Common contact of each relay can be used. The Normally Close position is the state of the relay when it is not turned on (energized).
