WIRING TO A GPI/RLY INTERFACE

5
The RJ-45 connector labeled "GPI/RLY" connects up to 10 RLY-6 or GPI-6
interfaces to the matrix.
The following sections give an overview of the wiring of these interfaces. For
more detailed discussion of wiring of interfaces in general, see the manual
Installing an Eclipse Matrix System: An Overview.

RLY-6 Interface Wiring

The RLY-6 relay interface module connects up to six programmable relays to the
matrix so that each relay is directly controlled from the matrix. Multiple RLY-6
interfaces can be daisy chained to provide connection of up to 60 relays to the
matrix. RLY-6 and GPI-6 modules can be mixed together up to the total limit of
60 items. Five RLY-6 and five GPI-6 modules would provide 30 relays and 30
inputs for a total of 60 inputs and outputs.

To Matrix
To connect the RLY-6 interface to the matrix, plug one end of an RJ-45 cable
(eight wires with no reversal) into the GPI/RLY INTERFACE connector on the
back of the matrix. Plug the other end into the top RJ-45 (CH. A MATRIX)
connector for the RLY-6.
To connect an additional RLY-6 interface, plug one end of a short RJ-45 cable
into the lower RJ-45 (CH. B MATRIX) for the first RLY-6. Then, plug the other
end into the top RJ-45 (CH. A MATRIX) connector for the additional RLY-6.
Additional RLY-6 interfaces are added in the same way, using daisy-chain wiring.
If there are multiple RLY-6 interfaces, the relays in the first will be numbered 1
through 6, the second will be numbered 7 through 12, etc. GPI-6 interfaces can
be mixed in this daisy-chained scheme. The maximum combined length of all
the RJ-45 cables should not exceed 20 ft. (6 m). Refer to Figure 8.
