I/O Port Inputs
Each MotionLinx-IO module is equipped with two 4-pin female and two 4-pin male M8 style I/O Ports. Pin 2 and Pin 4 of each of these is master controller configurable to be either an input or an output. Any I/O Port pins configured as inputs by default are auto-sensing for the connected circuit type of either PNP or NPN such that both sourcing and sinking current will activate the input.
Both Left and Right Sensor ports utilize load detection circuits between the +24V (Pin 1) and Gnd (Pin 3). This circuit provides input to the processor such that sensor detected status can be known.
| Inputs | ● PNP/NPN Auto-Sensing (Default) ● Up to 2 Inputs per Port – Up to 8 Inputs per module ● Master controller configurable for Push-Pull operation |
| Minimum ON current | 1.5mA |
| Maximum OFFcurrent | 0.4mA |
| Leakage current | < 0.2 mA |
| Short Circuit protection (per side) | 500mA max |
I/O Port Outputs
Each MotionLinx-IO module is equipped with two 4-pin female and two 4-pin male M8 style I/O Ports. Pin 2 and Pin 4 of each of these is master controller configurable to be either an input or an output. When configured as an Output, the following chart applies:
| Outputs | PNP Sourcing Only |
| Output count | Up to 8 |
| Maximum current per Output | 300mA |
| Short Circuit protection threshold per Output | 500mA |
