Introduction
The IO Bridge allows you to integrate an external device in various ways into your existing Smart network. The input signal of the IO Bridge can be controlled by a 0-10V input signal or any potential-free contact (switch), while the output can switch up to 5A (230V) with help of an internal relay.
The amount of inputs and outputs can be extended by placing extra IO Bridge's, Digital Input Bridge's or Digital Output Bridge's next to each other and configure them in such way that they operate in the same Smart network.

Analog Input (1-10V)
Important; never exceed the 10V DC input limit of the IO Bridge.
The schematic below shows how to connect an 1-10V DC power supply to the IO Bridge. Optionally a 0-10V DC signal can be used. In this example we will control the light-level of all the lights in GROUP #1 that are in the same network as the IO Bridge. The 1-10V signal will be translated to a light level from 0% to 100%.
