IOH and IOL Option

Description

The IOH and IOL option boards provide additional digital inputs and outputs. IOH provides 24 volt inputs while IOL provides 5 volt inputs. The inputs are optically isolated can be configured for sourcing or sinking. These inputs can operate at several hundred kHz making them suitable for externally driven step/dir signals from a PLC.

Description Direction Pin Use
Output Voltage Supply In 1 Connect to a voltage supply. This is the voltage that will be switched by the outputs
Logic Voltage Out 2 Logic Voltage from the MMC. This is provided as a convenience to tie to the Output Voltage Supply pin if that's the desired voltage
Output 4 Out 3 General purpose output limited to 100 ma
Output 3 Out 4 General purpose output limited to 100 ma
Output 2 Out 5 General purpose output limited to 100 ma
Output 1 Out 6 General purpose output limited to 100 ma
Input 4 In 7 General purpose input with sourcing or sinking deteremined by Input Common 1-4 pin
Input 3/Index 1 In 8 General purpose input with sourcing or sinking deteremined by Input Common 1-4 pin. When acting as an input for an external encoder or master this signal is the index pulse for option encoder 1
Input 2/Dir 1 Quad B 1/Down 1 In 9 General purpose input with sourcing or sinking deteremined by Input Common 1-4 pin. When acting as an input for an external encoder or master source this signal is the Dir, or Quadrature B, or Down Pulse for option encoder 1
Input 1/Step 1/Quad A 1/Up 1 In 10 General purpose input with sourcing or sinking deteremined by Input Common 1-4 pin. When acting as an input for an external encoder or master source this signal is the Step, or Quadrature A, or Up Pulse for option encoder 1
Input Common Voltage Out 11 On IOH this pin is Logic Voltage. On IOL this is 5V. Connect to Input Common 1-4 if inputs 1 through 4 should respond to sinking signals (switch closures to GND)
Input Common 1-4 In 12 Connect this to Input Common Voltage for inputs 1 through 4 that are sinking (switch closures to GND) and to GND for inputs that provide voltage
GND Out 13 Connect this to Input Common 1-4 if input 1 through 4 are to respond to signals providing voltage
5V Out 14 5V from the MMC. This is provided as a convenience to tie to the Output Voltage Supply pin if that's the desired voltage for outputs
Output 8 Out 15 General purpose output limited to 100 ma
Output 7 Out 16 General purpose output limited to 100 ma
Output 6 Out 17 General purpose output limited to 100 ma
Output 5 Out 18 General purpose output limited to 100 ma
Input 8 In 19 General purpose input with sourcing or sinking deteremined by Input Common 5-8 pin
Input 7/Index 2 In 20 General purpose input with sourcing or sinking deteremined by Input Common 5-8 pin. When acting as an input for an external encoder or master this signal is the index pulse for option encoder 2
Input 6/Dir 2/Quad B 2/Down 2 In 21 General purpose input with sourcing or sinking deteremined by Input Common 5-8 pin. When acting as an input for an external encoder or master source this signal is the Dir, or Quadrature B, or Down Pulse for option encoder 2
Input 5/Step 2/Quad A 2/Up 2 In 22 General purpose input with sourcing or sinking deteremined by Input Common 5-8 pin. When acting as an input for an external encoder or master source this signal is the Step, or Quadrature A, or Up Pulse for option encoder 2
Input Common Voltage Out 23 On IOH this pin is Logic Voltage. On IOL this is 5V. Connect to Input Common 5-8 if inputs 5 through 8 should respond to sinking signals (switch closures to GND)
Input Common 5-8 In 24 Connect this to Input Common Voltage for inputs 5 through 5 that are sinking (switch closures to GND) and to GND for inputs that provide voltage
GND Out 25 Connect this to Input Common 5-8 if input 5 through 8 are to respond to signals providing voltage
