GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The Model GMDIO14 module is a digital I/O module designed for use with

the Graphite Series. This module offers eight inputs and six outputs that can be

used to monitor contact or sensor inputs and actuate relays, solenoids, PLC

inputs, etc.

The inputs accept standard DC inputs or contact closures, and are configured

for Sink/Source signals via external switches. Additionally, each input has a

switch selectable input filter that can be used to prevent contact bounce. Each

input may also be software configured as a high-active or low-active input.

The module is available with relay or NFET outputs that are capable of

switching up to one amp each (NFET DC only). For applications requiring large

loads to be controlled, several DIN rail mount relays are available.

The module connects and communicates via proprietary USB connection to the

various Graphite host devices. The Graphite host devices, equipped with serial

ports as well as an Ethernet port(s), allows the system to share data with PCs,

PLCs, and SCADA systems. The maximum number of modules varies for each

Graphite device, see specific models for details.

Once programmed, the module will continue to operate/control independent of

the Graphite host device as long as power is applied. Remove power from the host

device before installing or replacing any modules.

CONFIGURATION

The Graphite Series is configured with Windows

®

compatible Crimson

®

software. The software is an easy to use, graphical interface that provides a

means of communication configuration, as well as commissioning and

calibration of new systems.

SAFETY SUMMARY

All safety related regulations, local codes and instructions that appear in the

manual or on equipment must be observed to ensure personal safety and to

prevent damage to either the instrument or equipment connected to it. If

equipment is used in a manner not specified by the manufacturer, the protection

provided by the equipment may be impaired.

Do not use the module to directly command motors, valves, or other actuators

not equipped with safeguards. To do so can be potentially harmful to persons or

equipment in the event of a fault to the module.
