Hello Pro´s,

can i send and receive redstone.setOutputs or .getInputs from another computer ?

the computer who gets the Input and sets Output is computer_4.

the computer that working with the programm that calls computer_4 to set a Output is computer_5.
they are connected on cable.

i only need a example for .setOutput and .getInput

thanks for help

You don't know till you try.

If you mean to send redstone signals down modem cables, you will need to "wrap" them in the networking API (rednet API)
If you have the two computers next to each other (with dust between) then is should work.
If you have the two computers in contact with each other then I have no idea, try it and tell me.

For reference, the redstone API.

From what I understand, you want your system to transmit a redstone state from one computer to another where it recreates it.
The input computer (the one reading the redstone and sending the network message) will need something like this:

--#this is not true lua, this is psudo code
--#you will need to edit it to make it work in computercraft
while true do
  event = os.pullEvent()
  if event == redstone then
	redstoneValue = rs.getValue()
	modem.send(redstoneValue)
  end
end

The receiving computer (the one listening for modem messages and emitting redstone) will need something like this:

--#once again psudo-code
while true do
  event = os.pullEvent()
  if event = modem_message then
	redstoneValue = modem.pullMessage()
	rs.set(redstoneValue)
  end
end
