HwgIO

The HW group I/O Controller 2 is a general purpose digital input-output Ethernet controller, with 8 inputs and 8 outputs.

HWGIO device

This I/O Server also supports the legacy PortBox, ER84 and ER88 conrollers.

HSYCO Configuration​

Add an HWGIO I/O Server in the I/O Servers section of the Settings and set its parameters:

Communication​

  • IP Address: host name or IP address of the I/O Controller
  • IP Port: TCP/IP port to use, leave blank to use default port 23.

High Availability​

  • Shutdown when inactive: defaults to true (the I/O Controller only accepts one connection and can't be accessed by two HSYCO servers simultaneously).

Options​

There are no available configuration options for the HWGIO I/O Server.

I/O Controller Configuration​

TCP/IP mode needs to be configured and NVT (Network virtual terminal) enabled in order to work with the digital inputs and outputs.

Refer to the I/O Controller manual for detailed configuration information.

Datapoints​

The data points associated to the input pins are named i1 to i8.

The data points associated to the output pins are named o1 to o8.

The I/O Server generates asynchronous events based on the status of the I/O Controller's input and output pins. The output data points can be written to control the output pins.

IDValueR/WDescription
i<n>0Rinput <n> is low
1Rinput <n> is high
o<n>0Routput <n> is low
Wset output <n> to off
1Routput <n> is high
Wset output N to on
