Davicom offers an ecosystem of remote site management products for broadcasters. At the NAB Show, it will show Neuro, a new rackable box that allows you to mix and match GPIO boards to give you the I/O count you need.
The box occupies one rack unit and is three inches deep. The GPIO boards are inserted into five independent slots in the chassis. Available boards are the NIO-8A for eight analog inputs, NIO-8D for eight digital inputs and the NIO-5R for five relay outputs.
The Neuro can be ordered with various combinations of NIO boards to allow for a maximum of 40 analog inputs, 40 digital inputs or any combination in between. (One Neuro can accept a maximum of two NIO-5R boards. In this case, the three other slots can be populated with combinations of NIO-8A and NIO-8D boards.)
The compact Neuro can be used for any application where general-purpose I/O (GPIO) is required. Sensor readings and status inputs can be monitored and used to automatically control actions on output relays.
The unit’s operating firmware includes Jobs (or State Machines) that detect input conditions and initiate specific combinations of actions. Math functions can calculate VSWR, averages, decibels and other parameters. Schedulers and timers can trigger events or actions. Counters can compile events and trigger alarms. These operations can be combined or cascaded to produce smart functions at remote sites. Network pings are also included.
The Neuro has a built-in SNMP agent to allow monitoring and control (via GETs, SETs and TRAPs) from a central SNMP manager, such as Davicom’s Cortex Series.
