IEX-808
High Density I/O Expansion
The IEX-808 is an add-on module that expands the I/O capability of an IOC-540 I/O cluster module.
The IEX-808 connects to the expansion slot of an IOC-540 adding 8 digital inputs and 8 high-current outputs. You can use up to four IEX-808s on each IOC to get a total of 42 inputs and 38 outputs per node (including the native IOC-540’s I/O).
Although the IEX-808 is an expansion card, it is a full-featured I/O device. The inputs are digitally filtered for high noise immunity, and the outputs can directly drive inductive loads (up to 6W, 24V solenoids with ease) without relays, SSRs or diodes. Edge capture capability is supported on all inputs so short pulses can be captured by the host ControlPoint™ application.
An IEX-808 module includes built-in error checking that monitors the integrity of the communication interface 4,000 times per second, so wiring problems and other problems that would typically cause I/O errors will be trapped. To further ensure robust communication, the serial communication interface optically isolates modules from each other, minimizing the opportunity for sensor and actuator ground loops.
The IEX-808 is compatible with the ControlPoint networking system, which operates over standard Cat 5 cables and includes nodes for motion, I/O and safety, all optimized for OEM use.
