<![CDATA[Comfort Automation/ Security System Forums - Hotel Room Logic Controller]]> https://www.comfortforums.com/ Tue, 28 Jul 2026 02:36:07 +0000 MyBB <![CDATA[HIO Firmware 7.023 - 7.024]]> https://www.comfortforums.com/thread-4779.html Sat, 04 Nov 2017 06:49:28 -0400 ]]> https://www.comfortforums.com/thread-4779.html Previous versions 7.00x were for the 3.3V CPU which has been superceded

Changes

  1. Added 3 more Master scenes (ie. Total 4 Master scenes now).
  2. Added new sequence scene function.  With each pressed, a different scene is activated, starting from scene 1 to 4 and back to scene 1.
  3. Added new 1-button Blinds function with 2 outputs.  The first output is for Up direction and the second output is for down direction.
  4. Fixed temperature reading giving 255 (FFh) for some boards, when TS input is shorted to ground. Correct reading is 100 (64h).

One of the following equipment is needed to configure HIO01;
  • UCM/LOGIC with plug in ETH03 or USB interface. UCM/Logic is a controller and UCM on one product.
  • Logic Engine LGX01 with UCM/USB or UCM/ETH03
  • Comfort CP9000 with UCM/USB or UCM/ETH03
Run Comfigurator, go to the Modules Tab and right-click on the HIO folder as shown below.


“Scan for HIOs” to detect any HIOs in the network if the IDs is set correctly without any conflict with other HIOs.

“Add HIO” allows you to manually add an HIO if not currently connected to Comfort, i.e. when doing programming off-line.

The result of scanning or adding a HIO  is shown below for HIO Id 1. The new HIO is seen on the middle and right panes.




IN HIO Properties on the right;
  • “ID” is the ID of the HIO from 1 to 15
  • “Name” is any text description for the HIO used to identify it.
  • “Type” is the HIO Type, HIO01
  • “Version” is the HIO firmware version which in this example shows 7.000. If the HIO was manually added instead of being scanned, the firmware information will not appear.
  • “Latest Version” is the latest release version available when internet connection is present.
  • “Serial Number” is the electronic serial number of  the HIO, if any.

In the middle pane, “Status” shows the status of the HIO. It is ‘Polled’ when the HIO is detected and matches the number of HIOs programmed in the system. ‘Not Polled’ will be displayed when the HIO is detected by scanning but the number of HIOs programmed is less than the HIO Id. ‘Not Found’ is shown when the HIO is added to Comfigurator but is not connected to the controller when scanning is done.
Click on the HIO01 text below the HIO folder to show the HIO configuration screen shown below;





[size=\"3\"]Menu Bar[/size]
The  menu items are; Write to HIO01, Read from HIO01, Reset to Default,  Get Status. Save Template, Load Template

Write to HIO01
This writes the tables into the HIO

Read from HIO01
This reads the data from HIO and displays  the data on screen

Reset to Default
This  clears all the data in the tables  to default, but does not write any data to HIO.

Get Status
The Get status button causes the HIO status to be shown on the status bar on bottom left, for example,
\"Normal/No error\"

When the cursor is moved away from the HIO screen, Get status is automatically turned off, and when the cursor is on the HIO screen the get status function is turned on if Comfigurator is logged in.

The HIO01 is a Hotel Room Logic Controller to be used with electronic switches and relays for control of lights and appliances. It can be connected to ELV (Extra Low voltage) switches  with push buttons with or without leds and can implement energy saving functions.






Highlights
  • 16 Programmable I/O channels for ELV Switches linked to 16 Outputs which can be connected to  HIO-RLY1 Relay module
  • LEDs on the ELV switches can be dimmed when in the off state.
  • 2 x 0-10V outputs for dimming lights.
  • Energy Saving Features:  Room Occupancy detection, Open Door Courtesy Light, Toilet Occupancy,  Window/Aircon Linkage
  • Programmable Timers for Occupancy, Courtesy,  Keycard off, window/aircon linkage.
  • Optional temperature sensing.
  • Programmable Scenes: Welcome, Master On/off, 4 Scenes, Courtesy Light, Toilet Occupancy
  • HIO-RLY 8-way 6A relay modules for easy connection.
  • Programmable by Comfigurator, including Firmware upgrading
  • Can be interfaced to other lighting/control systems, like KNX, Cbus, Modbus, Z-Wave

Specifications - HIO
  • 16 programmable I/O channels for Extra Low Voltage (ELV) switches linked to 16 Open-colector Outputs. Each channel is a dual function input and output which can drive an indicator LED and switch button at the same time.
  • Each of the 16  Open collector Outputs follows the state of the corresponding channel number.
  • Plug in Connector to Relay Board 8 x 230V rated 6 A relays each so there is no need to wire outputs to the relays.
  • 0-10V output x 2 (used to control lighting)
  • RS485 interface – This is a slave port polled by a master controller. ID 1 to 15
    Power supply 12 V DC
  • 3.3V/5V  power supply (alternate voltage regulator)
  • 4 x ID Dip Switches for ID
See HIO01 Manual at  https://www.cytech.biz/hotel_room_controller.html



[size=\"3\"]HIO-RLY[/size]
[size=\"2\"]The HIO-RLY is a relay module with 8 relays mounted in a DIN Rail enclosure which is connected to the HIO01 Hotel Room Controller. 2 HIO-RLY with 16 relays can be connected to one HIO01[/size]
[size=\"2\"]
[/size]
[size=\"2\"]The HIO-RLY manual can be downloaded from https://www.cytech.biz/hio_relay_module.html
[/size]
[size=\"2\"]Interface to other systems
The HIO can be interfaced to other systems including KNX, C-Bus, Modbus or Zwave using Cytechs UCMs


[/size]Comfigurator for HIO01

HIO01 can be configured using Comfigurator 3.11.10 minimum. This allows each of the 16 channels to be configured for the required function, eg ELV switch, Scene, Door contact, PIR, Window Contact, Make Up Room, Do Not Disturb, Keycard, Doorbell etc
