Configuring Digital I/O Channels

The ioLogik W5300 product family is equipped with different I/O types, including analog inputs, digital inputs,

digital outputs, relay outputs, and software configurable DIOs, offering great flexibility for connecting I/O

devices such as software configurable DIO channels. Before you connect I/O devices and sensors, you should

configure the DIO channels as DI or DO. The W5340 for example comes with 4 DI channels and 4 DO channels.

However, the user has the option of redefining the function of these channels. Each DIO channel is configured

to act as either a DI or DO channel, according to the Power On Settings. To switch between DI and DO

channel operation, select the desired mode in the I/O Direction field under Power on Settings. After clicking

Apply, you will need to restart the ioLogik W5300 for the new setting to take effect.

Connecting I/O Devices

Unlike traditional Ethernet I/O products, the ioLogik W5300 can connect to analog sensors, dry contact, PNP,

and NPN sensors at the same time. The sensor type determines your wiring approach, as shown in the following

examples (this example shows the pin numbers for an ioLogik W5340 unit):
