I/O

Operating instructions
14 As of 06/13
The TLS QuickScout A/D XL has 4 I/O in-/outputs which can be
flexibly switched. The inputs and the ground potential are located in a
five pin connector. A connection of an inputs with the ground potential
releases an input impulse.
The outputs are Open Drain in design, in order to allow different
potentials of up to 30V.
Explanation:
An open collector is a common type of output found on many
integrated circuits (IC). Instead of outputting a signal of a specific
voltage or current, the output signal is applied to the base of an
internal NPN transistor whose collector is externalized (open) on a
pin of the IC. The emitter of the transistor is connected internally to
the ground pin. If the output device is a MOSFET the output is called
open drain and it functions in a similar way.
If the outputs are switched on by the configuration, there is ground
potential at the respective output.
You must ensure that the maximum current of 300mA is not
exceeded.
Explanation:
The ground potential is defined by Potential 0 Volt and is the
reference potential for all impulse and operating voltages. The
electrical potential is a voltage specification which references a fixed
reference point.
C 4.5 Connecting infrared outputs

As of 06/13 19
C 4.9 Connecting Control output
Control
C
If you would like to control TLS QuickScout A/D XL externally, you
can connect an external control via the 2 pin Phoenix connector
Control. The TLS QuickScout A/D XL system recognises the
pressing at select buttons for analogue or digital video signals and
reports this on both outputs Control in the analogue or digital field.
The external control can evaluate this information and selects at the
display device the input required for the system.
As the Control connection is bi-directional, the external control can
also execute the „complement reset function“(page 33). For that the
external control must close the contact for more than 200 ms. If the
contact gets closed for more than 5 s, the TLS QuickScout A/D XL
gets switched off.
In addition the external control, e. g. die TLS GlobalControl, can
execute further control tasks and even send SMS and Emails resp.
respond to incoming messages. Also the control via a browser
interface or a TLS Touch panel is easily possible.
For this connect the ground potential 0V with the ground potential of
the external control and each of the two signal contacts C with an
input of the external control.
C 5 Initial operation
