3.7. GPI Remote Control Ports
The rear panel of the MIMO88SG offers 8 GPI inputs (10) for 0-10 VDC continuous control voltage. Each
of these inputs can be connected to an external physical device (potentiometer, contact closure, continuously
variable voltage 0-10V DC, etc.) and assigned to a MIMO88SG function, as for example:
Input, output channel or matrix crosspoint volume remote control by means of a WPVOL physical
knob or an Ecler WP Series WPVOL-IR remote control
MUTE or SOLO activation/deactivation by means of a switch or contact closure
Recalling a preset with a push button or contact closure
GPI connectors are screw terminal blocks with three-contacts. The wiring is as follows:
Positive, + 10 VDC
Variable voltage, 0-10 VDC
Ground
Connecting cables can be up to 500 meters with a minimum section of 0.5 mm
Consult your ECLER dealer or www.ecler.com about the WP series remote control wall panels and other
accessories available for connection to the REMOTE/VCA port.
3.8. Remote control RS-232 Port
The built-in RS-232 port in the rear panel allows an external device to communicate with an MIMO88SG
unit via a serial connection. Said connection uses the TP-NET protocol syntax so to enable the external device to
obtain the value of any of the parameters of the MIM088 unit (by "GET" commands) and/or modify said values
("SET" commands). See the TP-NET protocol manual for more information.
The serial connection should comply with the following specifications:
Baud rate: 57600 (fixed, no auto negotiation)
Data bits: 8
Parity: None
Stop bits: 1
Flow control: None
