Flex I/O Ports
The IPL T SFI244 has four Flex I/O ports that can be configured as
digital inputs, digital outputs, or analog inputs.
When configured as digital inputs, the Flex I/O ports can connect to
switches and sensors.
When configured as digital outputs, the Flex I/O ports can drive
devices that accept a TTL input signal.
When configured as analog inputs, these Flex I/O ports can receive
analog voltages for use with photo sensors, level feedback, and other
devices. See the diagram below for Flex I/O port wiring.
NOTE: Be sure to wire appropriately based on the configuration
of the port.

Configuring for Network Communication
To function together, both the PC and the IPL T controller must be
configured correctly. The PC must be network-capable with the
proper protocols and the IPL T controller must be set up so that it can
be connected to a LAN or other network.
When you power on the IPL T controller for the first time, there are
several ways to set up the IP address:
z z Use the Global Configurator software — Refer to the Global
Configurator Help file.
z z Use the ARP (Address Resolution Protocol) — See the instructions
that follow.
z z
Use a Web browser — Refer to the IPL T Series User Guide,
IPL T SFI244 User Guide, or IPL T CR48 User Guide, depending on
the controller.
z z
Use SIS (Simple Instruction Set™) commands via Telnet — Refer to
the IPL T Series User Guide, IPL T SFI244 User Guide, or
IPL T CR48 User Guide, depending on the controller.
The first time you connect a PC to an IPL T controller via IP, you may
need to temporarily change the IP settings of the PC in order to
communicate with the controller. That process is described in the
IPL T Series User Guide, IPL T SFI244 User Guide, and IPL T CR48 User
Guide.
