GPIO Out (QIO-GP8x8)
The QIO-GP8x8 includes eight General Purpose Output pins for extension of Q-SYS Control to third-party devices. In the Q-SYS Designer Software component properties, you can configure the output signal type for each pin – digital, open collector, or raw.
GPIO Output Interface
The GPIO Out component represents the GPIO OUTPUT connection pins on the rear of the QIO-GP8x8. Use one of the included 10-position Euro connectors.
+12V
12V DC, 0.1A output.
1-8
Eight outputs, user-configurable in the component Properties. Pins 1-8 are the equivalent of pins 1-8 in the Q-SYS Designer Software GPIO Out component.
Ground
Signal ground reference for GPIO output connections.
Component Inputs and Outputs
This component does not have standard input and output pins. See Control Pins.
Properties
Name
The Name may contain ASCII letters 'a' through 'z' (case-insensitive), the digits '0' through '9', and the hyphen. Names cannot begin or end with a hyphen. No other symbols, punctuation characters, or blank spaces are permitted.
Location
User-defined name that groups the component with other components in the same physical location, or in the same organizational scheme.
Is Required
When enabled, and the device is not found on the network, the device is reported as 'Missing', which is an error condition. This is the default behavior. When disabled, and the device is not found on the network, the device is reported as 'Not Present', which is not an error condition.
Dynamically Paired
Indicates that this virtual component can be paired with the same type of hardware without changing the network ID of the hardware or the name of this component. Refer to the Q-SYS Core Manager Dynamic Pairing topic for more information. The default is 'No'.
GPIO-1 to 8 Type
Select the type of GPIO output:
- Digital Output (TTL 3.3V): 3.3VDC is supplied to the GPIO output pin when the Output control is enabled.
- Open Collector (200mA): 24V, 200mA max with pull-up to +3.3V.
- Raw: This mode is for advanced capabilities. If there is something you cannot do using the other choices, contact Q-SYS Support for assistance.
Controls
Output
This button sends a 0 in the Off position and a 1 (3.3V TTL) in the On position.
Invert
This button is available when the Type is Raw.

Behavior During Boot-up and Redeploy
Q-SYS device GPIO output states are undefined during boot-up and design redeploy. In the following table, "While On" and "While Off" indicate the button setting as defined in the running design file. During a reboot or redeploy, the setting may toggle depending on the GPIO type before returning to the defined setting after the design starts running.
Bold text indicates a temporary GPIO setting during boot-up and redeploy.
