Decoding in Tridium N4:
How would you convert an analog input signal from a Sontay IO-DIM-6 into 6 digital Niagara points?
The article makes use of standard kitControl blocks to decode the voltage signal from a Sontay IO-DIM6 digital input multiplexer module into Boolean writable points to represent each of its input statuses

Execution
Make sure the IO-DIM6 output signal link is set to 0-10V and connected to an input on the controller set to read 0-10V with no conversion.
All the blocks used here are available within the kitControl palette.
Please note - the IO-DIM6 sets its voltage output to set the decoded bits to represent its inputs as follows -
-
Bit 2 = Input 1
-
Bit 3 = Input 2
-
Bit 4 = Input 3
-
Bit 5 = Input 4
-
Bit 6 = Input 5
-
Bit 7 = Input 6
Please DO NOT use bits 0 to 1, and 8 to 11
The same result can be achieved with a Program component.
Please see this article A to D Converter which will give you a good insight into how to use the Program component.
