A.1 About General Purpose Input s & Outputs (GPIO)
General Purpose inputs
Eight (8) opto-isolated general pur pose inputs are available. These inputs ar e used to trigger the execution of macro files. For mo re
explanation about the association of a macro to a G PI, consult the user guide of the Communicator touch panel.
Input voltage
The inputs can be directly driven from a TTL or CMOS output.
• The s hape of the pulse must be rectangular.
• The duration of the pulse must be a t least 1.6 milliseconds (shorter pulses are considered as a switch bounce)
• Minimum voltage : V
min
=3,3V
• Maximum voltage : V
max
=24V
External power supply
When interfacing with contact closure outputs, an external power supply needs to be provided. Depending upon the configuration a
suitable pull-up resistor needs to be added as well.

Cables
When long cable connections are required the us e of shielded c ables with twisted pairs is recommended. One twisted pair is to be
assigned to each G P Input pair.
How to make the connection
When the power supply used to provide the DC voltage is isolated from ground (for exam ple in the case of an A C adapter) it is
recommended that the minus pole of that power supply is connected to ground (or to the projector chassis). This will avoid high
common mode voltages at the projector GP Inputs. If that same power supply is used for other parts of the system, take care not to
create ground loops. In any case when shielded c ables are used that shield should be connected to the projector chassis.
General Purpose outputs
Eight (8) opto-isolated outputs are av
ailable, whe re four are dedicated for TI. The other gen eral purpose outputs can be controlled
via software.
About an output
The output can generate a falling ed ge, rising edge, toggle or c ontinuous toggle.
