IO-4: Combinational Analogue / Digital IO Module
14.3.1 Overview
•
2 SPST relay outputs
•
2 analogue inputs
•
8 digital inputs
This module can be installed in any I/O slot of a 4, 6 or 12 slot backplane.
Analogue IO
The IO-4 provides two signal ranges, 0 to 20 mA and 4 to 20 mA. The default range is
4 - 20 mA. A link on the rear of the module selects 4 - 20 mA (link installed) or 0 - 20 mA I/O
for all channels.
Channel 1 can be utilized for a strain gauge input of range approximately 50 mV. 5 V
excitation voltage is supplied from this module (please refer to the wiring diagram for further
information).
Resolution of the converted signals is 12 bits binary (1 part in 4096). The sign bit is not used
in the conversion process. The placement of the bits within the data word is shown below.

Scaling of the input is shown below:
All inputs share a single common and all outputs share a separate common at the zero volt
rail.
Input protection for the module is sufficient to guarantee operation with reduced performance
with up to 1500 V common-mode. The module provides electrical isolation of externally
generated noise between field wiring and the backplane through the use of optical isolation.
