Configuring Axis IO with Axis US Pro and Genesis

This document describes how to add and configure an Axis IO device in Genesis using Axis US Pro, how to trigger IO from a map, and how to verify and adjust IO port configuration.

Step 1: Open the IO Configuration Area

So, today we are adding IO.

IO.

First we will be…

We will work with Axis IO, so we will start by opening the configuration area.

---

Step 2: Add the Axis IO Sensor Device

First, we are adding the sensor.

We are using Axis US Pro

and Axis

Axis

site.

There we will go to Device

and select Add.

Choose Axis IO as the device type.

We will be taking Axis, and this is the IO device.

---

Step 3: Configure IP and Port for the Axis IO Device

It will be IP-based.

It will be IP… sorry, IP.

IP.

If the device number is not available, configure the communication port manually. Use Port 9081.

Oh, sorry.

---

Step 4: Set Credentials, Type, and Discover IO Ports

Next is the username and password for the Axis IO device.

We can select the device type, for example C2E1,

and then Discover it.

When you check the IOs after discovery,

you can see the six IOs that were discovered.

If you go here,

this is the IO we have added, and you can see the IOs listed.

---

Step 5: Configure IO Triggering from the Map

Next, we can trigger the IO using the Map.

We will go to Map,

and then we will

take Edit mode.

When

you take Edit,

you can see an Add option. We will select the device,

choose the Axis device,

and then

we will set

the specific IO to be controlled from the map.

After assigning the IO, we will Save.

---

Step 6: Test and Verify IO Trigger Status

You can now see the IO is active; this is the first IO.

If you refresh the IO status view, you will see that none of the IOs are active initially. From the map, press the configured IO button

to trigger it.

If you go back to the IO status view and update, you can see that the IO is triggered (ON).

If you click there, it appears red, indicating it was triggered successfully.
If you update again later, you will see it has turned OFF.

---

Step 7: Adjust IO Port Settings in Add-on Configuration

To further configure IO behavior, go to Preferences, then Add-on Settings, and then System.

If you go to Add-ons,

you get the Plain Config

view.

In Plain Config, if you select IO Ports,

from here you can reconfigure all IO settings, such as enabling or disabling IO ports and adjusting their parameters.
