This interface is being added for Scottsdale but it is not limited in use to them.

It is available only on V5 controllers because it is only through the Ethernet Port.

The interface allows inputs to be turned on in parallel with the discrete inputs on the controller, similar to MODBUS inputs. It reports back the discrete outputs states and the OR'd state of the discrete and Remote Inputs.

It has a 1 second watch dog timer to ensure safety if there is a loss of communication on the Remote IO interface..

Full details on the interface and the Remote IO Protocol are documented in a One-Note page in the XL200 Notebook.
