PG DRIVES TECHNOLOGY R-NET IOM - INSTALLATION
1 Introduction
The R-net IOM is a universal module that can be used as either an Input Device interface or an Output Device in any R-net
system. Typically, if being used as an input module the IOM will be used in conjunction with an R-net JSM.
The input connector is wired to the industry standard TRACE protocol and can be programmed to accept switched
or proportional signals, making the IOM an ideal interface for switched head controls or mini-joysticks.
A jack socket is also included for connection to an On/off switch, such as a TASH Buddy Button.
The output connector is also wired to the TRACE protocol and provides all the functionality of the existing PGDT ACM,
or ECU’s supplied by other manufacturers. The output can be programmed for four directional control and diagonal
control. There are also output pins corresponding to other buttons/controls on the Joystick Module, meaning
functions such as full PC mouse control can be emulated.
Multiple IOM’s can be connected into any R-net system. One IOM can be used to support an Environmental Control
Module (Output) whilst at the same time a separate IOM can be used to control a Head Array or Mini Joystick (Input).
All output pins are isolated relay types and close to a common pin.
Operation of the R-net Control System will vary depending on what Input Devices are connected.
Refer to wheelchair manufacturer’s documentation to establish the correct setup requirements for
the wheelchair.

1.2 Output Setup
It is possible to set up a Control System so that it is unsuitable for some users or even some
vehicles. For all of the above reasons it is important that you contact PG Drives Technology if you
have the slightest doubts or if you need any advice on programming.
Programming and diagnostics should only be conducted by healthcare professionals with in-depth
knowledge of PG Drives Technology electronic Control Systems. Incorrect programming could
result in an unsafe setup of a vehicle for a user. PG Drives Technology accept no liability for any
losses of any kind if the programming of the Control System is altered from the factory preset
values.
