The built-in GPI inputs follow PS1 (electrical power source class1).
The GPI input will not allow power to exceed 1W by the device itself.
- Open circuit voltage GPI input: approx. 3,8V DC, max. 5V DC
- Short circuit current GPI input: approx. 8mA
- Loaded circuit current with externally 5V (PS1) supplied: approx. 12mA
GPI - General Purpose Input:
(EN) Information
This Interface is a small signal interface only, and uses same ground potential.
The GPI DC TTL Inputs are able to “set” a readable input by either shorting the input to ground, or by supplying any 5 VDC-voltage and undershooting 2,3 VDC respective to ground.
We suggest using the separate stand-alone vsmGPIO-unit for switching higher current or reading inputs up to 12VDC.
(EN) Warning
It is understood that if supplying any external voltage (DC only) to the GPI input, it is never to exceed 5V DC rms and must also follow the PS1-rules (b-IEC 62368-1) to never source more than 15W. Check polarity if external voltage is supplied.
Always connect GPI input-ground to external supply-ground! Never apply any AC-voltage to the GPI inputs!
(F) Information
Cette interface n'est qu'une interface basse tension, faible courant.
Les entrées GPI DC TTL sont capables de "régler" une entrée lisible soit en court-circuitant l'entrée à la terre, soit en fournissant une tension de 5 V DC et une sous-tension de 2,3 V DC respectivement à la terre.
Nous suggérons d'utiliser l'unité autonome séparée vsmGPIO pour commuter un courant plus élevé ou lire des entrées jusqu'à 12 V DC.
(F) Avertissement
Il est entendu que si une tension externe (DC uniquement) est fournie à l'entrée GPI, elle ne doit jamais dépasser 5V DC rms (valeur efficace) et doit également suivre les règles PS1 (norme b-IEC 62368-1) pour ne jamais fournir plus de 15W. Vérifiez la polarité si une tension externe est fournie.
Toujours connecter la masse de l'entrée GPI à la masse de l'alimentation externe ! Ne jamais appliquer de tension AC aux entrées GPI !
Possible GPI Input wiring and control options
GPO - General Purpose Output:
(EN) Information
The GPO "outputs" are dry relay contacs. They are internally not connected to any supply or ground. The user has to provide an external power source that follow the PS1-rules (b-IEC 62368-1) for usage.
(EN) Warning
To maintain the lifespan of the internal relay of the PBP, do not exceed 12VDC/50mA for each relay-contact.
The external supply-source beeing used for interfacing the PBP relay-contacts must also follow the PS1-rules (b-IEC 62368-1) to never source more than 15W.
(F) Information
Les GPO « sorties » sont des contacts de relais secs. Ils ne sont connectés en interne à aucune alimentation ou terre. L’utilisateur doit fournir une source d’alimentation externe qui suit les règles PS1 (norme b-IEC 62368-1) pour l’utilisation.
(F) Avertissement
Pour prolonger la durée de vie du relais interne du PBP, ne dépassez pas 12VDC/50mA pour chaque sortie relais.
L’alimentation externe utilisée pour l’interfaçage des contacts relais PBP doit également suivre les règles PS1 (norme b-IEC 62368-1) pour ne jamais s’approvisionner plus de 15W.
GPO contact-wiring “dry relay output”
External Serial Interface
Connector for data drive for external accessories:
- 1 x RS422 via RJ45 connector
- 1 x RS422 (loop through) via RJ45 connector
- Serial Baud Rate will be configured automatically by the device to 115200 Baud.
RS422 is a differential signal transfer. Each Tx and each Rx line has both, therefore it is absolutely necessary that a twisted pair cable is used. External accessory connections can easily be done by preconfigured standard shielded network cable (CAT5 or higher standard). To avoid potential difference between devices, shielded cable and shielded plugs with ground potential on both sides should be used. (Metalized plug-covers of RJ-45-plugs to touch ground-flange of RJ-45 connectors). Wrong wiring, wrong cables, wrong use of twisted pair and non-shielded traces lead to short working distances. Bad connection at one of the cores using twisted pair traces may lead to a working unit, which seems to be working fine, but sometimes loses connection or shows strange behaviour. Always use a cable-tester before installing vsmGear products to ensure that there will be no unsuspected connection issues with connected devices. Also check correct wiring of wire-shield-traces. We suggest RS422 traces via shielded twisted pair cable not to exceed 100m (328 feet) in total length.
Ethernet
Ethernet Communication Port to vsmStudio
(EN) Information
This interface is used as the ethernet communication port to vsmStudio. It is understood that for proper operation each PBP panel is connected to an Ethernet-switch where the individual port of the switch must be set to “Auto-Negotiation”.Port de communication Ethernet vers vsmStudio
(F) Information
Cette interface est utilisée comme port de communication Ethernet vers vsmStudio. Il est entendu que pour un fonctionnement correct, chaque LBP est connectée à un switch Ethernet dont le port individuel est réglé sur "Auto-négociation".

Notice for Wiring:
- NC: no connection; do not connect to any signal or supply
- Only use shielded CAT5 (or higher standard) -specified networkable. Refer to TIA-568A or TIA-568B for wiring.
- Do not use cable-traces longer than 100m (328ft) between the device and network-switch for 100BASE-T communication.
- Make sure to keep to wiring standards and use shielded RJ45-plugs for shielded cable on both ends of the line.
(EN) Warning
It is mandatory, that copper based Ethernet connections (CAT 5 or higher standard, RJ45) are led inside a building to the third party-device-ethernet-switch . If the Ethernet connection needs to be led outside a building it is mandatory to use a optical fiber. Use a converter to optical fiber and connect it in a short way (inside the building) to the device.
(F) Avertissement
Il est obligatoire que les connexions Ethernet à base de cuivre (CAT 5 ou une norme supérieure, RJ45) soient installées à l'intérieur d'un bâtiment jusqu'au prochain switch Ethernet. Si la connexion Ethernet doit être dirigée à l'extérieur d'un bâtiment, utilisez un convertisseur en fibre optique et une connexion courte (à l'intérieur du bâtiment) à l'appareil.
