Features

• High speed mirroring of digital I/O signals over Ethernet

The ioMirror E3210 transmits digital I/O signals over Ethernet at very high speeds, with less than 20 ms

latency in a local area 100Mbps network. The extremely low latency makes ioMirror E3210 an excellent

choice for transmitting low and middle-speed signals, such as liquid level or optical sensor input.

• Easiest setup for digital output signals driven by remote input

The ioMirrorAdmin utility for Windows makes it easy to configure input-to-output mapping, both locally and

remotely. Basic Configuration is provided for module -to-module mapping. Advanced Configuration is

provided for more flexible channel-to-channel mapping, and allows one digital input signal to be mapped to

multiple digital outputs. Remote configuration can also be completed using a web browser interface.

• Designed to use existing Ethernet infrastructure, saving time and wiring cost

With a high speed Ethernet infrastructure already in place, there is no longer any reason to go through the

expense and effort of laying down additional I/O wiring. Modern Ethernet, fiber optic lines, or WLAN can

provide high speed connectivity, with general input/output signals carried by a pair of ioMirror I/O servers.

Wiring plans are now easier than ever.

• No programming, and no separate PLC or PC controller

A separate PLC or PC controller is not required for ioMirror operation. No ladder or C programming is

required, either. All configuration can be done through ioMirrorAdmin or through the web console.

• Local sensor signals duplicated to up to sixteen locations

Each digital input signal can be mapped to two IP destinations. For example, you may monitor the eight

tank level signals by up to sixteen display panels at the same time.

• Easy and flexible installation

The Windows utility for installation and configuration is easy to use. For basic module-to-module

configuration, you may simply assign the destination IP address for mapping. For advanced configuration,

you can easily specify the mapping destination for each channel.

• Easy troubleshooting tools

ioMirror connections are easily monitored and managed. There are many tools and features that can alert

you to a problem or show you the status of a connection:

 Optional LCD display for local IP configuration

 Instant error status with special built-in alarm port for 24 VDC alarm devices, such as buzzer or LED

tower

 Alarm and event log that records each connection and disconnection

 Windows utility that displays channel mappings and status for every ioMirror server on the network

 Automatic recovery within seconds when network is reconnected, without rebooting

 Modbus/TCP support for SCADA systems
