Input/Output¶

Status¶

About I/O

Digital Input (Associated Pin 1/6): Detects high-level signals (e.g., 24V) for equipment status monitoring (limit switches/sensors).
Isolated Input (Associated Pin 2/7): Reads low-level signals (0V) with galvanic isolation (≥1500V) for safety interlock/emergency stops.
Analog Input (Associated Pin 9): Supports 0-10V/4-20mA signals for precision measurement (temperature/pressure transmitters).
Isolated Output (Associated Pin 3/4/8): Transistor outputs (On=0V, Off=high-Z) for driving relays/solenoids (≤0.5A load).
Relay (Associated Pin 5/10): Electrically isolates control circuits from power circuits (e.g., 5V PLC → 240V motor). Select Closed (NO) when energized (current flows to load) or Open (NC) when de-energized (failsafe/default state).

Note

Use ferrite beads on analog wires to suppress EMI in noisy environments.

About PWR

Input (Associated Pin 3): Receives external power to activate the device.
- High Level (Typ. 24V±10%): Normal power reception, device operational
- Low Level (<1V): Power loss/undervoltage (check wiring/supply voltage)
- Floating: Open circuit (verify terminal connection integrity)
Output (Associated Pin 4): Supplies regulated power to connected peripherals.
- On: Actively supplying power to peripherals (e.g., 24V/5V output enabled)
- Off: Output disabled (manual shutdown or protection triggered)

Input¶

Click Add to configure input rules to perform specified actions after the input meets the trigger conditions.

Click to Enable this entry of input rule.
Select an Input Type to define the signal category (e.g., digital/analog/pulse).
- Digital Input(1): Standard binary input for detecting 24V signals.
- Isolated Input(2,7): Galvanically separated input for safety-critical signal.
- Digital Input(Power Socket 3): Power-monitoring input, detecting mains voltage presence via socket status.
- Analog Input(6,9): Reads 0-10V/4-20mA signals for precision measurement.
Select a Trigger condition to activate the rule.
- For Digital/Isolated Input, Rising triggers when signal transitions from low to high, ideal for power-on events; Falling triggers when signal transitions from high to low, used for emergency stop detection; Both responds to any voltage change, perfect for pulse counting or state monitoring.
- For Analog Input, Inside Range triggers when the signal stays between Min/Max values; Outside Range triggers when the signal exceeds Min/Max thresholds.
Select Analog Type (for Analog Input) to match your sensor's output signal type.
- Current (mA) is used for 4-20mA/0-20mA industrial sensors (like pressure transmitters) as it’s resistant to signal degradation over long distances;
- Voltage (V) is used for 0-10V/±10V signals (like position sensors) with simpler wiring but shorter effective range due to voltage drop.
- Minimum (V) / Maximum (V) (for Analog Input): Set voltage thresholds to define the valid range for voltage-based triggers.
- Minimum (mA) / Maximum (mA) (for Analog Input): Configure current limits for current-loop device monitoring.
Select an Action to execute when the rule is triggered.
- Activate Output: Triggers a designated output port. Then select a target Output Type and current input State, enter a Revert interval to determine auto-reset after trigger ends; enable or disable Maintain to decide lock state until manual reset.
- Send SMS: Send alert messages via cellular module, which requires configured GSM/GPRS parameters. Edit the SMS Text as needed, add the Phone number to send your SMS.
- SIM Switch: Automatically fails over to the selected backup SIM card when primary cellular signal is lost. Recommended to keep it Auto.
- Turn on WiFi: Enables the router's WiFi for wireless client connections.
- Turn off WiFi: Disables WiFi to conserve power or enhance security.
- Reboot: Restart the system to apply configurations or recover from faults.
(Optional) Enter the Execution Delay time when will the action be executed after the rule being triggered.

Done! You have successfully configured an Input rule.

Modify: Click on to edit the entry, or to delete the entry.
Check Interval: Enter an interval in seconds to check analog input value.
Save & Apply: Click to save and activate the new settings or changes.

Output¶

Click Add* to configure output scheduler to perform specified actions after the input meets the trigger conditions.

Click to Enable this entry of output scheduler.
Select an Output Type and Change State to to define the target output and state.
- Isolated Output (3,4,8): Galvanically separated outputs for sensitive equipment, preventing ground loops in PLC/SCADA systems. Then select Change State to High for activating the optocoupler/solid-state relay to send the preset voltage to the connected device, or Low for cutting off output voltage to create an open circuit.
- Relay (5,10): Electromechanical contacts for switching high-power loads. Then select Change State to Closed for physically connecting the relay’s internal contacts to allow current flow, or Open for breaking the contact to stop current flow.
- Output (Power Socket 4): Direct mains power control for appliances, with built-in overload protection. Then select Change State to High for enabling mains power output, or Low for disconnecting mains power (safety cutoff).
Set Start Time for a-new-day shift start, and Stop Time for end-of-day shutdown. And specify Repeatweekdays for cyclical automation of the output schedule.
- Weekdays (Mon-Fri): Ideal for factory equipment schedules (e.g., conveyor activation at 08:00-17:00).
- Weekends (Sat-Sun): Used for non-routine operations (e.g., backup system tests).
- 7-Day Cycle: For 24/7 critical systems (e.g., server room cooling).

Done! You have successfully configured an Output Scheduler.
