I/O Monitor

The I/O Monitor shows the inputs and outputs of one device and updates them several times a second. Use it to check wiring: close a door contact or switch a relay and watch its contact close.

Note

The I/O Monitor is off by default. An administrator turns it on on the Plugins page.

Use it

1. Open I/O Monitor in the navigation rail.
2. Choose a device. The list shows every device with inputs or outputs.
3. The device is drawn as a row of inputs and a row of outputs. Each port shows its contact, drawn open or closed; green means Active. Point at a port to see its normal state.

The port number under each contact is the number to use in the Set output action of event rules.

Good to know

• OADM reads the device only while the page shows it. Choosing another device or leaving the page stops it.
• If the connection to the server drops or the server restarts, the page starts reading again on its own.
• The I/O Monitor only reads. It never switches an output.
• Devices that need a login, have no password yet or have a changed certificate show the reason instead.
