Brief description MSX-E1516
2Brief description
2.1 Functions and features
The intelligent Ethernet system MSX-E1516 has eight times two digital 24 V lines, which can be
configured as pairs of inputs or outputs.
The system provides an event logic for the inputs and outputs. Thus, an event datagram can be
generated when their status changes.
By means of an external trigger, the digital inputs and outputs on multiple systems can be updated
simultaneously (synchronisation). The system can be configured over either the integrated web
interface or SOAP or Modbus commands. These interfaces also enable sensor data to be accessed.
Via an integrated Ethernet switch, the system can be cascaded with other MSX-E systems. This also
applies to the voltage supply and the trigger/synchro line, which facilitates wiring between the single
systems.
The Ethernet system is mounted in a robust EMC-protected metal housing, which complies with the
degree of protection IP 65. In this way, the Ethernet system is able to cope with daily stresses and
strains such as current peaks, vibrations, dirt or extreme temperatures. Moreover, it can be used in the
extended operating temperature range from -40 °C to +85 °C and is equipped with numerous
protective circuits. The “Status” LED provides for a quick and easy error diagnosis.
The electronics are no longer in the computer itself but in an external housing connected to the
computer via Ethernet. As the Ethernet system is attached in direct vicinity of the sensor or actuator,
the function of the latter is no longer affected by long cables. The length of the (Ethernet) connection
cable from the Ethernet system to the computer may be up to 150 m. The system must be supplied
with external voltage (24 V).
Features:
•16 digital inputs/outputs, 24 V, can be configured in pairs, LEDs to display level and direction
•Event logic for the inputs/outputs
•Watchdog for resetting the outputs to “0” (the latter are set to “0” at Power-On)
•Digital input/output: can be controlled by means of an external trigger (digital 24 V trigger input)
•Web interface to configure, control and monitor the digital input/output
•Data access via SOAP or Modbus (always TCP or UDP)
•Optical isolation
•Degree of protection: IP 65
•Cascadable; synchronisation in the μs range
•Extended operating temperature range from -40 °C to +85 °C

3Function description: Digital inputs/outputs
The Ethernet system MSX-E1516 has 16 digital inputs or outputs for sensors or actuators.
3.1 Pin assignment
To each M12 female connector, up to two sensors or actuators can be connected. In addition, a 24 V
supply is available.

5 not connected grey
* Please note that the female connector (n) is dual-wired and that the digital I/Os are determined via
(2n+1) or (2n) with 0 ≤n ≤7.
Examples:
Female connector 0 (n=0) –> Pin 2: (2 x 0 + 1) –> Digital I/O 1
–> Pin 4: (2 x 0) –> Digital I/O 0

Function description: Digital inputs/outputs MSX-E1516
3.3.2 Digital outputs (24 V)
Fig. 3-2: Connection example: Digital outputs (24 V)
3.4 Digital outputs
By default, the digital channels of the MSX-E1516 are configured as inputs.
A port, i.e. a pair of channels can be configured as an output via the web interface of the MSX-E
system (see Chapter 4.1.1) or via the SOAP or Modbus function “DigitalIOInitPortConfiguration”.
NOTICE!
For each connector or port, only inputs or outputs can be
configured. In the event of a system reboot, the configuration is
only persistent if it has been changed on the web interface.
A port configured as an output is high-impedance. The status of the outputs can be read back by way
of control.
If a short-circuit occurs at a connected output, this output will be deactivated.
As soon as the short-circuit has been eliminated, a rearm has to be carried out to reactivate the output
(see Chapter 4.1.1). This means that the output is set to the status value that was programmed before
the short-circuit occurred. A new value can only be defined after the rearm event.
www.addi-data.com 14

Function description: Digital inputs/outputs MSX-E1516
3.5 Watchdog
The Ethernet system MSX-E1516 has a 16-bit watchdog, which is programmable in three time units
(μs, ms, s). The watchdog is used to reset the digital outputs to 0 V after a specific time.
Operation of the watchdog
1. After the system reboot, the watchdog is in “Uninitialised” state.
It can be initialised and activated (“Running” state) over the web interface of the MSX-E system or
by a software function.
2. With the first write access to the outputs, the watchdog is started: The watchdog time is loaded
and the watchdog starts counting down.
As long as the watchdog time has not elapsed, the watchdog is triggered with every further write
access to the outputs, i.e. the watchdog time is reloaded.
3. When the watchdog time has elapsed, the watchdog is put in “Overrun” state and all digital
outputs are set to 0 V or 0 mA. In “Overrun” state, any write access to the outputs is ignored.
4. To re-enable write access, the watchdog first has to be put in “Stopped” state (web interface) or
deactivated by a software function.
To reactivate the watchdog, it has to be put in “Running” state again or reinitialised and
reactivated by a software function.
3.6 Event logic
The event logic function (OR logic) enables event datagrams to be generated when the status of the
digital inputs or outputs changes.
On the web interface of the MSX-E system (see Chapter 4.1.1) or via the SOAP function
“MSXE1516__DigitalIOInitAndEnableEvent“, you can define the edge type of a specific channel for
which such a datagram should be generated.
When an event occurs, the Ethernet system provides the following information (see also Chapter 3.7):
•Time stamp (optional)
•“Source event mask”: Mask of the digital I/Os that generated the event
•“Digital I/O Status“: Status of the digital I/Os when the event occurred.
Example
For each rising edge of the digital I/O 0 and for each falling edge of the digital I/O 1, an event
datagram should be generated.
www.addi-data.com 15

Function description: Digital inputs/outputs MSX-E1516
Fig. 3-3: Event logic
NOTICE!
If the digital input filter is activated, the event logic may be
initialised only when the filter time has elapsed.
To avoid “false” events at the beginning of the application, a delay between the filter activation
(SOAP function “MSXE1516__DigitalIOSetInputFilterTime”) and the event logic initialisation (SOAP
function “MSXE1516__DigitalIOInitAndEnableEvent”) must be inserted. This delay should correspond
to the longest possible filter time, i.e. 65535 μs.
When the filter is activated, the digital inputs are internally set to 0. If they are externally switched to
24 V, for example, they will only be set to 1 again when the complete filter time has elapsed.
By configuring a digital output via the web interface, all other information from the “Digital I/O” page
including filter value and event logic is transferred to the MSX-E-System as well, and that at the same
time, i.e. without delay. Since the digital inputs are set to 0 during the whole filter time, a “false”
event is thus detected.
However, if you set an output directly via the SOAP function (e.g. sample in the CD directory
“MSX-E1516\SOAP\Samples \Windows\C#.NET_2005\ReadWrite”), no “false” events will occur.
