AXIS A9910 I/O Relay Expansion Module - User manual

You need to set up an encryption key before you add any AXIS A9910. The encryption key ensures the encrypted communication between AXIS A9210 and AXIS A9910.

1. Go to the device web interface of your AXIS A9210.

2. Go to Device > I/Os and relays > AXIS A9910 and click Add encryption key.

3. Set up the encryption key in one of the following ways:

4. • Under Encryption key, enter the key.

   • Click Generate key to generate the key and then click Export key to save the key.

5. Click OK.

1. Connect an expansion module to your AXIS A9210.

2. Go to the device web interface of your AXIS A9210.

3. Set up an encryption key. See Add an encryption key.

4. Go to Device > I/Os and relays > AXIS A9910, and click AXIS A9910.

5. Enter the name and select the address for the expansion module.

6. Click Save.

1. In the web interface of your AXIS A9210, go to Device > I/Os and relays > AXIS A9910.

2. Click the expansion module you want to configure.

3. Under I/Os, click to expand the I/O port settings.

4. Rename the port.

5. Configure the normal state. Click for open circuit, or for closed circuit.

6. To configure the I/O port as input:

7. 1. Under Direction, click .

   2. To monitor the input state, turn on Supervised. See Supervised inputs.

   3. Note

      In APIs, the supervised I/O ports work differently from the supervised input ports. For more information, go to the VAPIX® Library.

8. To configure the I/O port as output:

9. 1. Under Direction, click .

   2. To view the URLs to activate and deactivate connected devices, go to Toggle port URL.

1. In the web interface of your AXIS A9210, go to Device > I/Os and relays > AXIS A9910.

2. Click the expansion module you want to configure.

3. Under Relays, click to expand the relay settings.

4. Turn on Relay.

5. Rename the relay.

6. To view the URLs to activate and deactivate the relay, go to Toggle port URL.

The expansion module can only be used together with AXIS A9210 Network I/O Relay Module. To reach the device’s web interface, go to the web interface of your AXIS A9210.

For more status LED indicators, see Troubleshoot status LEDs.

• The control button is used for:

• Resetting the product to factory default settings. See Reset to factory default settings.

2-pin terminal block for DC power input. Use a Safety Extra Low Voltage (SELV) compliant limited power source (LPS) with either a rated output power limited to ≤100 W or a rated output current limited to ≤5 A.

UL: DC power to be supplied by a UL 603 listed power supply, depending on application, with appropriate ratings.

Four 4-pin terminal blocks for form C relays that can be used, for example, to control a lock or an interface to a gate. If used with an inductive load, for example a lock, connect a diode in parallel with the load to protect against voltage transients.

Relay power jumper

When the relay power jumper is fitted, it connects 12 V DC or 24 V DC to the relay COM pin.

It can be used to connect a lock between the GND and NO, or GND and NC pins.

Four 4-pin terminal blocks that can be used to connect Modbus sensors, for example, a temperature or light sensor to provide readings for event triggers.

RS485

6-pin terminal block used for communication between additional expansion units or main unit.

• EXP IN: communication from main or already connected expansion unit.

• EXP OUT: provides communication to the next expansion unit.

6-pin terminal block

Use the auxiliary connector with external devices in combination with, for example, motion detection, event triggering, and alarm notifications. In addition to the 0 V DC reference point and power (DC output), the auxiliary connector provides the interface to:

Digital input –

For connecting devices that can toggle between an open and closed circuit, for example PIR sensors, door/window contacts, and glass break detectors.

Supervised input –

Enables possibility to detect tampering on a digital input.

Digital output –

For connecting external devices such as relays and LEDs. Connected devices can be activated by the VAPIX® Application Programming Interface or from the device’s web interface.

Two 6-pin terminal blocks

To use supervised inputs, install end of line resistors according to the diagram below.

Parallel first connection

The resistor values must be 4.7 kΩ and 22 kΩ.

Serial first connection

The resistor values must be the same and possible values are 1 kΩ, 2.2 kΩ, 4.7 kΩ and 10 kΩ, 1%, ¼ watt standard.

1. Disconnect power from the product.

2. Press and hold the control button while reconnecting power. See Product overview.

3. Keep the control button pressed for 5 seconds.

4. Release the control button. The process is complete when the status LED indicator turns green. The product has been reset to the factory default settings.

Device software determines the functionality of network devices. When you troubleshoot a problem, we recommend you to start by checking the current device software version. The latest version might contain a correction that fixes your particular problem.

To check the current version:

1. Go to the web interface of AXIS A9210.

2. Go to Device > I/Os and relays > AXIS A9910.

3. Click the expansion module and see the current version.

1. Download the device software file to your computer, available free of charge at axis.com/support/device-software.

2. Log in to your AXIS A9210 as an administrator.

3. Go to Device > I/Os and relays > AXIS A9910.

4. Click the expansion module and click Upgrade device software.

5. When the upgrade has finished, the product restarts automatically.
