Eclipse PiCo Matrix Instruction Manual
2-7
CONNECTING TO GENERAL-PURPOSE INPUTS
The female 25-pin D-type socket labeled “GP IN” allows the Eclipse
PiCo matrix to be connected to eight general purpose inputs (GPIs).
An external logic device–such as an external foot switch, a
panel-mounted switch, or the logic output of some other device– can
be connected to the “GP IN” connector. When the external logic device
is activated, it sends a control signal into the matrix to perform one of
several preset functions, such as turning an intercom panel’s
microphone on or off, muting a microphone’s output, or turning a
panel’s speaker off. The function to perform, and the panel upon which
it is performed is programmed from the Eclipse Configuration System
software.
Note: A shielded cable should be used.
CONNECTING TO A GPI/RLY INTERFACE
The RJ-45 socket labeled “GPI/RLY Interface” connects the Eclipse
PiCo matrix to a GPI-6 or RLY-6 card. The GPI-6 provides six
general-purpose opto-isolated logic inputs. The RLY-6 card provides
six single-pole, double-throw relay outputs.
Both card types mount in either an IMF-3 interface frame or an
IMF-102 interface frame. Up to ten GPI-6 or RLY-6 cards can be
operated at one time from the matrix by daisy-chaining the cards
together. Each card has an IN and an OUT connector for this purpose.
The RLY-6 and GPI-6 cards connect to the GPI/RLY interface
connector using shielded category-5 cable. For more information about
the GPI-6 and RLY-6 cards, consult their respective manuals.
Note: If this port is used a ferrite must be added to the socket end
of the cable. A suitable ferrite is Würth Electronik part:
74271132.
Note: A shielded cable should be used.
CONNECTING TO A SECOND ECLIPSE PICO
MATRIX
Shielded category-5 (CAT-5) cable is connected from the “base loop”
socket of one Eclipse PiCo matrix to the “base loop” socket of a
second Eclipse PiCo matrix to form one non-blocking 64-port Eclipse
matrix system. The cable connecting the two matrices can be up to 1
meter (3.28 feet) long.
The link is activated from the “My Systems” screen in the Eclipse
Configuration System.
