Extension Module (Ethernet)
The Extension Module (Ethernet) offers the possibility to integrate external sensors and devices into the KentixONE system. Different versions are available:
| Name | Number of Sensors | Number of Switching Outputs |
|---|---|---|
| KIO7052 | 8x digital | 8x digital |
| KIO7060 | 8x digital | 8x relay output |
| KIO7053 | 16x digital | 0 |
| KIO7017 | 8x analog | 4x digital |
General
The basic settings of each device include the activation state (On/Off) as well as a name under which all alarms and warnings reported by this device are displayed. This should be chosen as uniquely descriptive as possible to be able to distinguish between devices.
Alarm Group
By selecting the parent alarm group, the device is integrated into the system hierarchy.
Alarms are signaled in the parent alarm group.
Connection
Connection monitoring enables alarming when the device is not reachable.
| Alarm Assignment | Selection of the alarm assignment |
| Output as Warning | Connection loss does not trigger an alarm and is only reported as a warning. |
External Sensors (digital)
In this area, external sensors connected to the digital inputs can be configured.
A configuration can be made for each external sensor that determines the functionality of the sensor. The configuration includes the following settings:
| Channel | Selection of the alarm assignment |
| Name | The designation used here is used in KentixONE to identify the external sensor, such as in alarm messages and log entries. |
| Alarm Group | Alarms triggered by an external sensor are signaled in the alarm group selected here. In the Detail View, the sensor is displayed in this alarm group. |
| Alarm when | Depending on the configuration selected here, the external sensor triggers an alarm when its state is open or closed. |
| Type | The external sensor can be used in various ways in KentixONE. Depending on the selected type, the sensor can be used in advanced functions and may be displayed differently in the Detail View. |
| Standard The sensor can be used normally and does not trigger any special behavior. | |
| Door Contact The sensor is used to monitor the open/closed state of a door. This type is recommended when using a door/magnetic/reed contact. | |
| Leakage The sensor is used for leakage detection. This type is recommended when using a Kentix LeakageSensor. | |
| Presence/Motion The sensor is used to detect people in an area. This type is recommended when, for example, a PIR motion sensor is connected. The external sensor can now be used in an mantrap. | |
| Ignore when arming | When an external sensor has triggered an alarm, its parent group normally cannot be armed (see Interlocking). |
| Alarm delay | In some application scenarios, it can be helpful not to signal an alarm immediately. This delay can be set here for the external sensor. |
| Description open/closed | Depending on the state of the external sensor, a different description can be displayed in the Detail View |
Alarm Assignment
| Name | API Value | Description |

| Arm | arm | The assigned alarm group can only be armed via this input. |
| Disarm | disarm | The assigned alarm group can only be disarmed via this input. |
External Sensors (analog)
For an analog sensor, the measurement must be additionally configured for correct evaluation.
For this purpose, the unit to be measured, as well as the measuring range electrical minimum/maximum (e.g. voltage or current)
must be defined and assigned a real equivalent physical minimum/maximum (e.g. temperature).
In this area, external sensors connected to the analog inputs can be configured.
A configuration can be made for each external sensor that determines the functionality of the sensor. The configuration includes the following settings:
info
Measured Value: The measured value is the value that is represented by the connected sensor. Example: Temperature, humidity. Measurement Variable: The measurement variable is the value through which the sensor determines the measured value. Example: Voltage, current.
| Channel | Selection of the alarm assignment |
| Name | The designation used here is used in KentixONE to identify the external sensor, such as in alarm messages and log entries. |
| Alarm Group | Alarms triggered by an external sensor are signaled in the alarm group selected here. In the Detail View, the sensor is displayed in this alarm group. |
| Alarm when | Depending on the configuration selected here, the external sensor triggers an alarm when its state is open or closed. |
| Type | The external sensor can be used in various ways in KentixONE. Depending on the selected type, the sensor can be used in advanced functions and may be displayed differently in the Detail View. |

| Description open/closed | Depending on the state of the external sensor, a different description can be displayed in the Detail View |
| Decimal places | Number of decimal places for the measured value. |
| Physical minimum | Lower measurement threshold of the connected sensor, smallest possible value that can be measured by the sensor. |
| Physical maximum | Upper measurement threshold of the connected sensor, largest possible value that can be measured by the sensor. |
| Unit | Unit of the displayed value. _Note: Not the unit of the measurement variable! |

Switching Outputs
A configuration can be made for each switching output that determines the functionality of the output. The configuration includes the following settings:
| Name | The designation used here is used in KentixONE to identify the switching output, such as in alarm messages and log entries. |
| Alarm Group | The alarm group determines the function of the output for switching outputs or which alarms should trigger the output to switch. |
| Switching Time | Determines the duration for which the switching output remains activated. Available options: Off, 1 second, 3 seconds, 10 seconds, 20 seconds, 30 seconds, 1 minute, 2 minutes, 5 minutes, 10 minutes, 20 minutes, 30 minutes, 1 hour, Permanent. When the switching output is triggered, it remains switched for the set time. |
Alarm Assignment
The alarm assignment determines the specific function of the switching output:
| Name | API Value | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Armed-Active | armed-active | When an armed-active alarm occurs in the assigned alarm group, the output is switched to high level for the set switching time. An acknowledgment also causes the output to return to low level prematurely. |
| Always-Active | always-active | When an always-active alarm occurs in the assigned alarm group, the output is switched to high level for the set switching time. An acknowledgment also causes the output to return to low level prematurely. |
| Fire | fire | When a fire alarm occurs in the assigned alarm group, the output is switched to high level for the set switching time. An acknowledgment also causes the output to return to low level prematurely. |
| Sabotage | sabotage | When a sabotage alarm occurs in the assigned alarm group, the output is switched to high level for the set switching time. An acknowledgment also causes the output to return to low level prematurely. |
| System Message | system | Alarms can always be triggered. These are reported as system messages. |
