Integrated I/O System

Input Specifications

Number and Logic: 10 binary inputs with positive logic, 6 of which are equipped with fast hardware filters to effectively filter noise in the input signal and improve the stability of the input signal.

Electrical parameters: ‘1’ signal input voltage DC 15V min. - DC 30V max. (rated DC 24V), ‘0’ signal input voltage < DC 6.0V; different input channels have different input current requirements, and corresponding standards for input impedance. The input impedance is standardised accordingly, e.g. max. 3.7kΩ or 6.2kΩ for some channels.

Filter: The inputs are equipped with second-order low-pass filters with time constants from 0.5ms to 32ms, which can be set individually by the software to flexibly adjust the filtering effect to suit different industrial environments.

Status display: Each input channel has a yellow LED to show the status, which is easy to monitor the input signal status visually.

Output Specifications

Number and logic: 6 binary outputs, positive logic.

Electrical parameters: ‘1’ signal output voltage is min. DC 19V, nom. DC 24V, max. DC 30V; Output current is max. 3A per unit, max. 600mA for a single ‘1’ signal, inrush current limit is 0.7A - 1.5A. Inrush current limit is 0.7A - 1.5A; ‘0’ signal output voltage has different limits under different loads, residual current < 0.5mA, voltage drop < DC 0.15V (under 600mA load current) when signal ‘1’ is on.

Protection Circuit: It is equipped with perfect protection circuit to shut down the output when the output is short-circuited or the temperature of the driver chip reaches about 160°C; when the +24V power supply is lower than DC 8V, all outputs will be shut down to effectively protect the safety of the equipment and circuits.

Time constant: output signal time constant 50µs < td < 200µs, depending on the load and voltage changes, to ensure the stability and accuracy of signal transmission.

Status display: yellow LEDs for each output channel indicate status, making it easy to monitor the outputs.

Baud rate: Channel 0 is fixed at 9600 Baud, channel 1 supports various baud rates from 75 to 38400 Baud, which can be set flexibly according to actual communication requirements.

Data format: Data bit can be set as 7 or 8 bits (standard 8 bits), parity can be selected as odd parity, even parity or no parity, stop bit can be set as 1 bit (standard) or 2 bits.

Cable length: The maximum length of communication cable is 15m, which limits the communication distance, and signal attenuation should be considered in practical applications.
