Overview

The Digital I/O Module v2, CE-MD-001-0000__2, extends MachineMotion’s functionality with 4 (NPN or PNP) inputs and 4 PNP outputs. This plug-and-play module only requires a single connection to the MachineMotion controller. Compatible modules, such as the Power Switch (CE-MD-005-0000) & additional Digital I/O Module v2 modules can also be daisy chained to each other, making it possible to connect up to sixteen modules per MachineMotion controller.

For details on Vention’s Digital IO Module V1, refer to the ‘Documentation for Previous Product Versions’ section at the bottom of this page.

Digital input active PNP voltage range (logicial ‘1’)

Above 18V

Digital input inactive voltage range (logical ‘0’)

Between 6V and 18V

Digital input - minimum recommended sensor output impedance

NPN: 10kΩ to 24V
PNP: 10kΩ to 0V

Digital output maximum current

70mA each

Maximum current for IN/OUT ports 24VDC pins

2A shared

Latency (with 2 modules connected to the MachineMotion controller)

125ms max.

Latency has been obtained by connecting a digital output port to a digital input port, and by measuring the delay between requesting the change of output state and reading the change of input state.
