The HID Aero x200 is an input/output expansion panel designed to extend the monitoring and control capabilities of the Aero x1100 controller within the Drawbridge system.
Unlike the x100, which is focused on access points (doors/readers), the x200 is primarily used for general-purpose input and output expansion, making it ideal for monitoring external devices and triggering auxiliary system actions.
•Supports up to:
o16 general-purpose inputs
o2 general-purpose outputs
•Inputs can be configured as:
oSupervised
oUnsupervised
•Supports analog-to-digital conversion on supervised inputs
•Ideal for:
oAlarm monitoring
oEnvironmental inputs
oAuxiliary device control
•Seamlessly integrates with the x1100 controller
1.Navigate to Devices
2.Select the associated Aero x1100 controller
3.Click the Add Subcontroller tab (or select an existing x200)
4.Choose Aero x200
5.Click Create
This opens the configuration page for the x200.
•Description
oA short, descriptive name for the x200 panel (e.g., Mechanical Room Inputs).
•Selected Channel
oDisplays which port (Channel 1 or 2) on the x1100 the x200 is connected to.
•Address
oThe hardware address of the x200 panel.
oMust match the physical configuration of the device.
Used for troubleshooting and system validation.
•Aero Controller
oThe parent x1100 controller
•Hardware Server
oThe Drawbridge server the controller communicates with
•Aero Controller UID
oInternal system identifier for the x1100
•Subcontroller UID
oInternal identifier for the x200
•SIO Number
oManufacturer reference value
•Revision
oHardware revision level
•Firmware Version
oInstalled firmware version
•Serial Number
oUnique hardware identifier
•Displays a full audit history of:
oConfiguration changes
oSystem updates
oUser actions
The x200 is used specifically for input and output points (not readers).
1.Navigate to Devices

•Ensure the Address matches the physical device configuration.
•Use clear naming conventions for inputs and outputs (e.g., Fire Alarm Input, Gate Relay Output).
•Verify communication with the x1100 before configuring I/O points.
•Use supervised inputs where possible for increased reliability and fault detection.
