View source for Turbine Inputs and Outputs in ICX-AlphaCom

{{AI}}
This article describes how the inputs of a [[:Category:Stations#Turbine_stations|Turbine device]] is reported in ICX-AlphaCom or AlphaCom XE, and how you can control the outputs and relay(s) of a Turbine device.
* [[Turbine_Compact_series board_connectors|Connectors on Turbine Compact]]
* [[Turbine_Extended_series board_connectors|Connectors on Turbine Extended]]

Whether the Turbine I/O should act as an input or an output is defined in the [[Station_Web_Interface_-_ICX-AlphaCom_mode#I.2FO_Settings|web page of the Turbine device]]. By default all I/Os are set as inputs.

==Turbine Inputs==
The 6 inputs on Turbine stations are reported as DAK keys. One can either configure the input in the [[Users_%26_Stations_(AlphaPro)#DAK|DAK table]], or one can use the [[Event Handler]]. DAK keys are reported as [[Station Input or Station DAK key (Event Type)|Event 30 - Station Input or Station DAK key]], and the "Subevent" is the DAK key number.
* The 6 inputs on Turbine stations are reported as DAK key 11 - 16 
** Note that in software AMC 11.2.3.9 or earlier the inputs were reported as DAK 1 - 6

==Turbine Outputs==
The outputs are controlled from the [[Event Handler]] in ICX-AlphaCom. 
*The Turbine Compact has 6 outputs and one relay.
*The Turbine Extended has 6 outputs and two relays. Two additional relays can be connected using the [[TA-10|TA-10 module]].

There are three different commands available to control an output/relay:
* When using the [[RCO|RCO command]], the outputs are numbered 1 - 6, and 7 is the relay. When using Turbine Extended 8 is the second relay, and 9 and 10 are the additional relays on the TA-10 module.
* When using the [[$SET_IPRCO|$SET_IPRCO command]], the outputs are numbered 1 - 6, and 7 is the relay. When using Turbine Extended 8 is the second relay, and 9 and 10 are the additional relays on the TA-10 module.
* When using the [[IND|IND command]], the outputs are numbered 11 - 17 (20).
** Note that in software AMC 11.2.3.9 or earlier the outputs were numbered 1 - 7. In software AMC 11.2.3.10 the IND command was not supported at all against Turbine stations.

== Note when using ECPIR Call Panel ==
When using the [[ECPIR-3P|ECPIR panel]] with [[EBMDR-8|Expansion Module]], the DAK keys on the Expansion Module are reported as DAK 11-18 (same as the inputs on the ECPIR panel), and the LEDs are operated by IND command with parameters 11-18 (same as the outputs and relay on the ECPIR panel). To avoid this overlapping situation, there is a flag in [[Users_%26_Stations_(AlphaPro)#Station_Type_tab|Users & Stations > Station Type tab > "Station use Expansion Module (EBMDR-8)"]]. 

When the '''Station use Expansion Module (EBMDR-8)''' flag is set:
* The Turbine inputs will be reported as DAK 101 - 106
* If using the IND command to control the outputs or relay, the parameters 101-107 must be used.
