Tesira Logic Expander (EX-LOGIC) OPERATION MANUAL April 2019 EX-LOGIC PRODUCT DESCRIPTION The Tesira® EX-LOGIC is a half-rack logic box for use with Tesira SERVER and SERVER-IO devices. The EX-LOGIC provides both logic inputs and outputs and, through software, can be configured as a control interface. There are 16 total connections that can be used as inputs or outputs. 12 of the connections are designed as logic connections only and will accept contact closure or 5V TTL when used for logic or sink a maximum of 40V/300mA per output. The remaining four connections can also be used for logic connections or as variable voltage control inputs (e.g. interface to a potentiometer). Additionally, any of the 16 connections can be configured for direct LED driver capability. The EX-LOGIC also provides a serial port for the output of command strings that can be used to send action commands to other equipment in the system. The EX-LOGIC communicates with the Tesira network for data transmission, configuration and control, and is powered by PoE. EX-LOGIC FRONT PANEL Setup and Use The Tesira software provides an intuitive interface for setup and programming of the EX-LOGIC. The information supplied by this manual relates to physical connections and device setup. For more details on software setup, please consult the Tesira Help File. LED Status Indicators Four multi-color LEDs on the front panel of the device provide information about the status of the device and the greater Tesira system. · Power Reports power of the host device and Front Panel Display. · Alarm Reports abnormal conditions local to the host device. · Activity Reports the activity of host device within the greater system. · Status Reports the status of host device. LED Power Alarm Activity Status Off Unit is not powered No fault is active in the device Not applicable Green Unit is powered Not applicable The host device is an active part of an active system Yellow Not applicable Minor fault is active in the device Not applicable Not applicable Device has received its Device is ready and configuration and is ready waiting to receive a to participate in the system configuration Red Not applicable Major fault is active in the device The host device is part of an inactive system (Audio is stopped) or host device is not part of a system Device is not ready to receive its configuration EX-LOGIC REAR PANEL Connectors 1. Grounding pin This pin is for grounding the chassis of the expander 2. Ethernet data connection A standard RJ-45 connector for use with CAT-5, CAT-5e, CAT-6 or CAT-7 cabling. The maximum distance between any unit and an Ethernet switch is 328 feet (100 meters). The expander must receive PoE (IEEE 802.3af) power on this connector in order for proper operation. This connection is for sending and receiving control data with the Tesira server. The expander will not operate if it is not on a network that includes a Server-Class Tesira device. 3. Serial Control port The serial port can be utilized to send a control string to another device. 4. Connections 1-to-12 These GPIO connections can be used as either inputs or outputs. They can be assigned to actions within the software using Logic Input and Logic Output blocks. When configured as logic output, each of the 16 GPIO pins can be configured to enable a current source capable of driving an LED. The current source is enabled depending on the state of the logic output block. 5. Connections 13-to-16 These connections can function in the same way as connections 1-12 for digital GPIO. But they can also be assigned as variable voltage input controls to allow analog control within the Tesira system by connection to a potentiometer. GPIO pins 1316 can be configured individually by the Control Voltage block in the software. If any one of these is configured for voltage control, then the logic expander will turn on the 5V potentiometer power. Voltage Control Calibration The four analog GPIO pins support voltage control calibration because a potentiometer may not be able to achieve the full range of voltage expected by the internal analog/digital convertors. When calibrated, the logic expander records both the minimum and maximum voltage levels caused by the potentiometer to achieve the full range of voltage. A 10K Linear Potentiometer or similar value is suggested. Visit www.biamp.com to obtain firmware and software updates related to this product.
