Wiring Inputs and Outputs

The following figures show basic wiring for some of the more common CIO-MICRO and CIO-MICRO-CC I/O module configurations.

Note:
  • The CIO-MICRO and CIO-MICRO-CC I/O modules function the same in all examples, with the exception of the CC-Link examples, which are limited to the CIO-MICRO-CC I/O module.
  • The I/O module requires a 24VDC power connection to the 24VDC + and – power terminals.
  • The I/O module passes power to a properly connected In-Sight Micro or In-Sight 5000 series vision system. However, the I/O module cannot be used to supply power to the In-Sight 7000 series vision system. The In‑Sight 7000 series vision system's Power and I/O Breakout cable must be used to supply power to the vision system.
  • OUT COMMON is only for general-purpose outputs, not high-speed outputs.
  • In-Sight Micro vision system high-speed outputs use HS COMMON for power with PNP or ground with NPN.
  • HS COMMON is not used for high-speed outputs with In-Sight 5000 series vision systems. The return must use 24V Common.
  • The I/O module does not provide access to the In-Sight 7000 series vision system's high-speed outputs. The In‑Sight 7000 series vision system's high-speed outputs are accessible from only the vision system Breakout cable.
  • To maintain optical isolation of the I/O lines, the devices connected to these lines must not be connected to the same power supply as the I/O module. If they are connected to, or share a ground with, the same power supply, they may still function but will no longer be optically isolated.
  • Do not connect a relay to an input configured as a Job Load Switch. A signal from a relay fluctuates enough (from contact bounce) that multiple job loads are recognized.
CAUTION:  
  • The shield ground connections of the RS-232 port, LAN port, PoE port, I/O port and Frame Ground terminal are internally connected. The system grounding is at a zero ground potential. This zero-ground potential extends through the cable and to peripheral equipment, such as a vision system or PLC. To ensure safe operating conditions, check ground connections to ensure that they meet a zero ground potential.
  • All general-purpose inputs share a common connection (IN COMMON). Therefore, all input devices must be the same; either current sinking or current sourcing. Mixing inputs with sinking and sourcing could damage the I/O module or your devices.
  • All general-purpose outputs share a common connection (OUT COMMON). Therefore, all output devices must be the same; either current sinking or current sourcing. Mixing outputs with sinking and sourcing could damage the I/O module or your devices.
  • When you connect the In-Sight 7000 series vision system to the CIO‑MICRO or CIO‑MICRO‑CC I/O module, the product does not support the following I/O module terminals: TRIGGER+, TRIGGER‑, HSOUT 0, HSOUT 1 and HS COMMON. Do not connect wire leads from remote devices to these terminals.
  • When you connect the In‑Sight 7000 series vision system to the CIO‑MICRO or CIO-MICRO‑CC I/O module, the I/O module's I/O port (DB15) is not supported. Do not connect anything to this port.
  • Ensure that the cable bend radius begins at least six inches from the connector. Cable shielding can be degraded or cables can be damaged or wear out faster if a service loop or bend radius is tighter than 10X the cable diameter.
