Connecting using generic digital I/O devices

Details

We generally recommend that you use the ANY-maze interface to connect inputs and outputs to ANY-maze, but the system does support some other generic devices too:

 •The RTV-24 digitizer's I/O ports 
 •I/O ports on Picolo series digitizers 
 •Devices that connect to the computer's serial port  

The following devices are classed as legacy devices and are no longer supported in this version of ANY-maze. To use these devices, you will need to use version 6 of ANY-maze. However, please note that support for version 6 of ANY-maze has now ended.

 •The Switch and Sense 8/8 
 •I/O ports on Axis network cameras 
 •The computer's parallel (printer) port  

  

Making connections to these devices is usually a little more complex than using the ANY-maze interface and I've described what's required in the following topics:

 •Connecting an on/off input switch  
 •Debouncing inputs 
 •Connecting a photobeam  
 •Turning something on and off
