IPIO

Event Gates IPIO

Software

IPIO is running on its embedded firmware. Coded in Embedded C, this firmware is responsible of the whole IPIO functionality. IPIO Firmware supports following features.

Emergency Preset

IPIO is expected to be connected by a VIS service to fulfil its purpose. It defines the state in which it has no connection to any VIS service and it can be set to a predefined output state for all its 8 digital output to react to such an emergency case. Emergency preset can be set by the IPIO Manager.

Mute Input and Preset

VIS can be placed in stand-by mode via a designated input on the IPIO module. When this input is activated, the IPIO notifies VIS for logging purposes and forces all outputs into predefined preset states, ignoring any output commands from VIS during this period. Input values continue to be transmitted to VIS without modification.

VIS logs both mute and unmute events and can optionally send notification emails for these transitions. Detection and logging functions remain fully active during mute; only output control is affected. The video log clearly indicates the mute state during recorded events. By default, the mute input is assigned to input channel 1.
