2.12.2.2. RIO ports

Digital Input (D-IN)

The input ports are normally kept at 5V by means of a 10Kohm resistor. The logic value is ON. By connecting the input port to GND, the value goes OFF.

[Tip]Tip

Interesting chapter: Section 3.13.1.2, “Connecting a motion sensor to Digital Input”.

Digital Output (D-OUT)

You can choose whether to use the relay output ("clean contact" A-B), or the output "open collector" supplying with power +5 ... +12V with a max current of 100mA.

[Tip]Tip

Interesting chapter: Section 3.13.1.1, “Connecting an external relay to Digital Output”.

Relay Switch

Limit values: max switched voltage 220V DC, 250V AC; max switching power 30W or 62W; switched current 1A. The ON logic value corresponds to the closed contact.

[Tip]Tip

Interesting chapter: Section 3.13.1.3, “Connecting a DC motor to Relay Switch Port”.

Analog Input (A-IN)

These input ports are differential: they measure the voltage difference between line + and line - but it is necessary, however, that the potential difference of each line with respect to GND does not exceed 4.5 volts.

Analog Output (A-OUT)

These output lines refer to GND. The output signal is adjustable between 0 and 10 V DC at 0.1V steps.

DC-IN

Power connector. Input 12V - 5A.

PWR-OUT

Power sources for external sensors and actuators. The V-OUT is limited to 1A for each terminal. The GND must be used as a common ground reference for the various Input and Output lines.

LAN

Ethernet 10M/100M auto-sensing. Support TCP/IP exclusively using the Abilis protocol.

USB

With the current firmware, ports are not used.
