GPIO

Pinout

The following illustration shows the pinout of the male GPIO connector present on the EYE+ XTD Controller.

The labeled pins have a dedicated usage attached to them which sometimes requires a specific configuration in EYE+ XTD. The usage of the currently supported pins is described in Table 18.

Table 18 GPIO pinout usage
Pin	Designation	Usage
1	+24VDC_GPIO	Reserved for 24V output. Do not use!
3	+12VDC_GPIO	Reserved for 12V output. Do not use!
5	+5VDC_GPIO	Reserved for 5V output. Do not use!
13	OUT1_24V	Trigger for external lighting

Important

The unlabeled pins (7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 14 and 15) are reserved for future use and must be left unconnected. Failure to comply with this instruction may result in permanent damage to the EYE+ XTD Controller or to your own device.

Power specifications

Table 19 summarizes the EYE+ XTD Controller power specifications for the GPIO connector.

Table 19 GPIO current specifications
Pin	Designation	Max current
13	OUT1_24V	500mA

Important

Never attempt to draw more power from the outputs than specified in Table 19. This might result in permanent damage to the EYE+ XTD Controller.

Note

The OUT1_24V output should only be used to trigger an external light. It is not designed to supply power to an external lighting system.

For example, it can be used to activate a relay or control input on an external lighting controller. This approach ensures correct lighting behavior and prevents possible damage to the EYE+ XTD Controller.
