The KISS Principle
KISS is an acronym for “Keep It Simple, Stupid” as a design principle noted by the U.S. Navy in 1960. The KISS principle states that most systems work best if they are kept simple rather than made complex, therefore simplicity should be a key goal in design and unnecessary complexity should be avoided.

​
Our GPIO CardCage units ( IO3CC and IO8CC ) have 3 other control options besides the KissBox TCP/UDP protocol...
Loading different types of protocols can be used to control a variety of input and output options with the following GPIO cards :
​
UDP/TCP-IP
The standard "out of the box" firmware, allowing TCP or UDP datagram control of the IO3CC and IO8CC.
​
ARTNET
If configured to use the ARTNET protocol the IOCC can be used to control the cards with DMX-512. This allows any ARTNET compliant lighting controller or software to control, and receive switching data from, the IOCC.
​
RTP-MIDI
Our RTP-MIDI firmware makes it possible to use the IOCC in a MIDI environment. This allows for full control of all the IOCC Input and Output cards trough MIDI soft and hardware devices like musical keyboards and sequencers.
​
MODBUS
This firmware allows the CardCages to interface with MODBUS over IP environments. This control protocol is commonly used in PLC's and industrial control systems.
​
​
Our MODBUS implementation is also fully compatible with the OpenPLC software project.
