Although most data is already in an electronic format, it
is very useful to be able to interact with the physical environment.
This is what Omnivex IOLink is designed to do.
Short for “Input/Output Link”, IOLink will generate
data updates in DataPipe based on incoming events such as
pushbuttons being pressed, proximity sensors determining that
a person is standing in front of a display, another box rolling
off an assembly line, or a fire or security alarm being tripped.
These updates can be displayed on screen, or they can trigger
completely different content such as emergency evacuation
notices to appear.
On the output side, IOLink will monitor DataPipe for specified
data values and trigger reactions based on them. These reactions
can be playing sound files, sending RS-232 serial commands,
or closing relays which could open curtains, dim the lights,
and start the movie projector playing. Omnivex IOLink 3 provides
an interface between your Omnivex DataPipe 3 network and external
devices.
Omnivex IOLink 3 can respond or trigger inputs or outputs
to various devices. Contact closures, serial port streams
or schedule time based inputs can be used to update Omnivex
DataPipe cells. Under the input operation, Omnivex IOLink
3 will monitor an input for a pre-determined action and will
update a cell in Omnivex DataPipe 3 when those characters
appear.
