bluelog Neo

Digital inputs, digital outputs, and multi-inputs

Last modified:

The bluelog has interfaces for digital inputs (DI), digital outputs (DO), and multi-inputs (MI). Typical devices for these interfaces are ripple control receivers, remote control systems, and sensors. All inputs and outputs can be configured via the bluelog web interface under Devices.

Digital inputs

Since digital inputs are energized (wet contacts), they must be equipped externally with potential-free contacts (dry contacts) to ground.

Connection_Digital inputs
Connection: digital inputs

Multi inputs

Multi inputs can be configured as:

  • Digital inputs: see above.

  • Analog inputs: 0…10 V, 0...20 mA, or 600…1800 Ω to be read as sensors.

Digital outputs

Digital outputs can switch between 24 V / 1 MΩ or GND / 1 MΩ. They can be configured as active high or active low.

  • For active high 24 V / Active low 24 V: Voltage 24 V DC is supplied by the bluelog.

  • For active high GND / Active low GND: Voltage 24 V DC is not from the bluelog. It must be provided by an external power supply.
