5. SETUP

5.1 Setting Up the IOX-4 Board

The IOX-4 is connected to the AXS-100 via two or four wires. If
one or two IOX-4 boards are connected to the AXS-100, power
for operating the boards may be drawn from the AXS-100.

Connecting three or four boards requires using an external power
supply.

The IOX-4 has a four-position DIP-switch for setting the board
address.

Each input device has to have an EOL PCB input adapter connected
next to it (see figure 4). The IOX-4 is supplied with 8 modulars.

Inputs and outputs #1 through #8 are on IOX-4 #1.
Inputs and outputs #9 through #16 on IOX-4 #2.
Inputs and outputs #17 through #24 on IOX-4 #3.
Inputs and outputs #25 through #32 on IOX-4 #4.

2 DE6314

Steps:

1. Connect DAT and REF terminals between AXS-100 TB3 and
IOX-4. If less than 3 IOX-4 boards connected, you may also
connect power from AXS TB3.

2. If more than one IOX-4 is to be connected, you will need to
connect the wires in parallel between IOX-4 #1 to#2, etc.

3. Connect input devices to input terminal blocks as shown in
Figure 4.

4. Connect dry contact outputs to relay terminal blocks as shown
in Figure 4.

5. Program input functionality in controller setup (SETUP / INPUT
SETUP).

The AXS-100 controller does not poll IOX-4 boards unless instructed
to. SETUP FLAGS 5 in LOCAL SETUP contains 4 flags (see AXS­100 User's Guide, Para. 5.2.5). Flags 1 to 4 represent the IOX #. For
example: If flag #1 is set to ON, the AXS-100 controller will enable
IOX board 1. If flag #3 is set to ON, the AXS-100 controller will
enable IOX board 3, etc.

5.2. Programming Input Functionality

M

M

M

M

The AXS-100 allows programming input functionality through the
INPUT SETUP selection in the SETUP menu.

Each input can be programmed to operate in one of the modes of
the IOX-4:

Disabled Input is disabled

Timer Output 1 is controlled by timer

Allow Entry Allow entry through door 1 or 2 of controller

Open All Open all doors in loop while input active

Control
Reader

Counter Up/down count events

Output Output to relay

Each input can be in one of four states:

Idle The sensing device is present and in idle mode.

Active The sensing device is in active mode (triggered).

Short There is a short on the line.

Cut There is a cut on the line – no device detected.

All enabled inputs will cause a trouble event to be generated if a
short or a cut is detected on their line, and a trouble restored
event when the short or cut goes away. A transition from normal
to active or from active to normal will be reported for OUTPUT
mode. In case of OUTPUT mode, generating an event is
dependent on programming.

An enabled input can be responsive all the time or controlled by
one or two devices, both physical and logical. Table #1 lists all
control devices and their numbers. An input device controlled by
another device will cause an action to be taken only if controlling
devices are active.

Each input device has an optional secondary output relay, which is
controlled in one of two modes with disregard to control devices’
status. To select a secondary output relay, set its number in
OUTPUT 2 screen. The secondary relay can be triggered for
amount of time defined in OUT TIME 2 screen if MODE is set to 1.
If mode is set to 2, the relay will be operated in toggle mode.

In Setup→Local Setup menu, it is possible to activate IOX-4 relay
numbers 25 to 32 depending on event type, as follows:

Relay 26 - Valid key indication.
Relay 27 - Unknown key indication.

Relay 28 - Alarm conditions.

Relay 29 - Trouble conditions.

Relay 30 - Long read indication.

Relay 31 - Arm/disarm alarm system.

Relay 32 - Valid key failed to open

5.3 Elevator Control

The Elevator Control function enables authorized people to use
an elevator, up and down, to the desired predefined floors.
AXS-100,
of up to 32 floor buttons in an elevator, for every authorized user.
For this purpose, connect up to 8 floor buttons to the relay
outputs 1 through 8 of each IOX-4 expander. In this way, four
IOX-4 expanders provide control of up to 32 floor buttons.

Inside the elevator, the user presents his tag/card to the proximity
reader. If the tag/card is recognized as a valid one, certain
predefined elevator floor buttons will be active for a predefined
period (see AXS-100 user guide, par. 5.2.6). During this period,
the user should press the desired floor button. If the user presses
a floor button after this period, the button is not active.

To allocate authorized floors (doors) for any user, perform "Add
Key" / “Modify Key” programming, as detailed in the AXS-100 user
guide, par. 3.3.1 and 3.3.5. For example, to allocate floors 2, 8, 16,
20, 25 and 30 to a specific user (key), define doors 2, 8 and G in
“Valid Doors 1” and define doors 4, 9 and E in “Valid Doors 2”.

When the controller operates in toggle mode or time zone
function and soft valid tag is defined and the trigger is set to ON,
all the doors will open and when the trigger is set to OFF all the
doors will close.

Note: In Elevator Control mode, flag set #2, flag 5 must be in
OFF position.

with four IOX-4 expanders, enables / disables the function

5.4 Input Operation Modes

The following sections describe the input modes.

A. Input Disabled

This input is disabled and will cause no action to be taken.

B. Allow Entry

The input will cause left side or right side lock of the controller to
be unlocked for the predefined amount of time. The OUTPUT
number should be 1 or 2 respectively.

Note: Do not operate the input when unlock time operates in
toggle mode (0 seconds).

C. Open All

When the controller operates in toggle mode, or when time zone
function is defined as function 2 (first valid Tag) and the door is in
open state. If trigger is set to ON, all the doors are open; and if
trigger is set to OFF, all the doors are closed.

When the input is in this mode and it goes active, it will make ALL
door locks in this loop to open until the input goes back to normal.
This should be used for fire emergencies.
The OUTPUT number is not important.

Note: It is recommended, in this mode, not to use more than one
input for each loop.

D. Control Reader

The input will cause left side or right side or both readers of the
controller to be enabled or disabled according to its state. The
OUTPUT number should be 1, 2 or 3 respectively. Data Register
3 has to be set to 65535 to enable this feature (see “EDIT
REGISTERS” in AXS-100 programming manual).

Note: When completing the task in Control Reader mode,
change the value of the register #3 to 0.

E. Counter

The AXS-100 can use an input for counting events expressed as
pulses on any of the inputs. The counting is done in data registers
40 to 99. The OUTPUT number should reflect which data register is
to be used. More than one input can affect a counting data register.
Each input setup can be configured to count up and/or down. This
facilitates the ability to count up using one input and count down
using another input. The OUT TIME number should be 1 for up­count, 2 for down-count and 3 for both up and down count (when
pressed counting is upward; when released counting is downward).

Note: If the value of the up/down counter (40 to 99) =0, the
controller will not count downwards.

F. Output

An input may be used to control an output relay on the IOX-4
boards. The OUTPUT number defines which output relay is to be
controlled (1 through 32). Adding 64 to relay number will cause
input to operate the relay in toggle mode. Adding 128 to relay
number will cause the input triggering and restoring to generate
an event message. Set the OUT TIME number to amount of time
in seconds to operate the relay (1 through 2000 seconds).

G. Timer

1. OUTPUT 1 is controlled by the timer. OUT TIME 1 is the period
of time that the counter counts from 1 second to 2000 seconds.

2. To operate OUTPUT 1, press down on the INPUT at every
counting period. After counting is completed, the OUTPUT is
functional.

3. To receive an event, add the number 128 to the OUTPUT
number. The received event is the INPUT TRIGGER.

5.5 Using Relay Outputs Without Inputs

The IOX-4 relay outputs can be used with no input functionality.
The following functions can be enabled by setting flags in LOCAL

SETUP:
Event group type output Set flag 5 in SETUP FLAGS 2.
Elevator control Set controller operating mode to 9 in

Note: In the IOX-4, relay 25 will be activated each time a tag is
presented to the reader when KEY FLAG 7 of the tag is set to
ON. This has no relevance to FLAG 5 in SETUP FLAGS 2, (see
AXS-100 User Guide Para. 3.3.2 Modify Key Flags).

LOCAL SETUP.

6. TESTING

After mounting and wiring, the IOX-4 should be tested. Activate
the unit inputs and verify proper operation according to the
application used.

WARNING! Changes or modifications to this unit not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user's
authority to operate the equipment.

4 DE6314

It is recommended to perform a periodical test once a week ­such as presenting a tag to the reader and verifying that the
relevant door is opened.

No maintenance is required for the IOX-4 unit.
