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.

Included in the Box	1x Digital I/O Module v2 (CE-MD-001-0001__2) 1x Control Device Extension Cable, 5m (CE-CA-022-5000) 1x Module Termination Jumper (CE-JP-001-0001) 2x M8 Drop-in Spring Loaded T-Nut (HW-FN-002-0001) 2x M8 x 18mm Screw (HW-FN-003-0018)

Performance and Other Specifications

Specification	Value
Digital input impedance	5kΩ
Digital input active NPN voltage range	< 6V
Digital input active PNP voltage range	> 18V
Digital output maximum current	0.1A
Maximum Power consumption	12W
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.
