The MX16160 is part of the M-Line, which
allows a complete controls system to be built
a piece at a time. By attaching the MX16160
expander to M or Mcpu controllers, your
system can grow as the size of the job
increases. The MX16160 has
• sixteen digital outputs
• sixteen universal inputs
The MX16160 provides the communications
circuitry and removable screw terminals for
I/O connections.
CAUTION Changes or modifications to this
unit not expressly approved by the party
responsible for compliance could void the
user’s authority to operate equipment.
NOTE This equipment has been tested and
found to comply with the limits for a Class A
digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC
Rules. These limits are designed to provide
reasonable protection against harmful
interference when the equipment is operated
in a commercial environment. This
equipment generates, uses, and can radiate
radio frequency energy and, if not installed
and used in accordance with the instruction
manual, may cause harmful interference to
radio communications. Operation of this
equipment in a residential area is likely to
cause harmful interference in which case the
user will be required to correct the
interference at his own expense.

Mounting
Screw the MX16160 into an enclosed panel
using the mounting holes provided on the
cover plate. Be sure to leave about 2 inches (5
centimeters) on each side for wiring.
Addressing
Before setting or changing the address, make
sure the MX16160’s power is off. The
MX16160 only reads the address when the
module is turned on.
The MX16160 uses a rotary switch to assign
the module’s expander number. If the
module’s expander address is three, set the
switch to three, as shown in Figure 2.
Power Wiring
Whenever possible, make sure the module’s
power and communications connections are
working properly before connecting any input
or output points.
CAUTION The MX16160 module is a Class
2 device (less than 30VAC, 100VA maximum).
Take appropriate isolation measures when
mounting the MX16160 module in a control
panel where non-Class 2 devices (for
example, 120VAC) or wiring are present.
You can power several modules from the
same transformer if you maintain the same
polarity.
The MX16160’s operating range is 21.6VAC to
26.4VAC. If voltage measured at the module’s
power input terminals is outside this range,
the module may not work properly.
1. Turn the module’s power off. This
prevents the module from being powered
up before the proper voltage is verified.
2. Make sure the 24VAC power source is off.
3. Connect the power wires to the module’s
power terminals labeled Ground and
24VAC (see Figure 1 on page 2 for
location).
4. Apply power to the transformer.
5. Make sure that 24VAC is present at the
module’s power input terminals.
Figure 2. Setting the expander’s address

Revised 9/13/00 • MX16160 4 © 2000 Automated Logic Corporation
6. Set the module’s address. Refer to
“Addressing” on page 3 for details about
setting the address.
7. Turn the module’s power switch on.
When the module turns on, the Run and
Power LEDs turn on. The Run LED begins
blinking and the Error LED turns off. See
“LEDs” on page 7 to troubleshoot the
LEDs. If the module does not respond, call
Technical Support at (770) 429-3002.
Inputs
The MX16160 module has sixteen universal
inputs to accept the types of signals listed
below. Refer to Table 1 for information about
wire length, gauge, and shielding.
• Thermistor: Precon type 2 (10kohm at
77°F). Input voltages should range
between 0.489V and 3.825V for
thermistors.
• 0 to 5VDC: The output impedance of a 0
to 5VDC source must not exceed
10kohms. The input impedance of the
MX16160 is approximately 1Mohm.
• 0 to 20mA: The input resistance on the
“A” input is 250 Ohms. The “B” terminal
supplies a voltage source to power the
4-20mA transducer. The “B” terminal is
capable of supplying 18 to 24VDC, but
the total current of all “B” terminals
must not exceed 320mA. If the voltage
measured from the “B” terminal to Gnd
is less than 18VDC, you need to use an
additional external power supply.
• Dry Contact: A 5VDC wetting voltage is
used to detect contact position. This
results in a 0.5mA maximum sense
current when the contacts are closed.
The MX16160 accumulates up to 15 input
pulses per second.
1. Be sure the MX16160’s power is off before
wiring any inputs or outputs.
2. Connect the input wiring to the screw
terminals on the module as shown in
Figure 3 on page 5.
NOTE If a 4-20 mA sensor uses an
external 24VAC power supply, connect
one leg of the 24VAC supply to the module
ground.
3. Set the configuration jumper for each
input to indicate the type of input used.
Make sure the jumper is positioned
correctly, and be sure to grip the jumper
by the sides only. See Figure 4 on page 5.
4. For each input, enter the channel number,
offset, and gain on the Function Block’s
Parameter page in SuperVision. Valid
channel numbers are listed in “Channel
Numbers” on page 6.
5. To verify each input’s operation, have
each sensor create a known value and
compare it to the condition reported on
the FB’s Status page.

Digital Outputs
The MX16160 module has sixteen digital
outputs that can be connected to a maximum
of 24 Volts AC/DC. Each output is a dry
contact (rated at 3A, 24VAC maximum) that
can be configured as normally open or
normally closed, according to the jumper
setting.
Be sure the MX16160’s power is off before
wiring any inputs or outputs. Connect the
output wiring to the screw terminals on the
module as shown in Figure 5.
NOTE Do not power pilot relays from the
same transformer that powers the MX16160.
To verify each output’s operation, lock the
output to a known condition using the
Function Block’s Parameter page, then make
sure the equipment actually operates as
specified.
Each digital output can be placed in Manual
or Auto mode by setting the HOA switches
(see Figure 1 on page 2 for the switches’
location). Table 2 shows the status of the
digital output based on the output’s
configuration and the HOA switch position.

You can monitor the status of the HOA
switches through SuperVision by assigning
each switch a digital input in the FB using
channel numbers 81 through 96. Channel 81
corresponds to HOA switch number one;
channel 82 corresponds to HOA switch two,
and so on. Switches 10 through 15 use
channel numbers 8A through 8F, and switch
16 uses channel number 80.
An off status on these channels means the
HOA switch is in Auto mode. An on status
means the HOA switch is in Manual mode.
Channel Numbers
The following tables show the valid channel
numbers for each point on the MX16160.
Enter the channel number, offset, and gain for
each point in Eikon before the Function Block
is made, or on the FB’s Parameter page in
SuperVision. If an offset and gain are not
provided here, use SuperVision’s Point
Configuration or Point Help feature to
determine the offset and gain.

Troubleshooting
LEDs
The MX16160 module has several LED
indicators to show the status of certain
functions.
Power - lights when power is being supplied
to the module.
Run - flashes to indicate a normal condition.
Expander Comm - flashes to indicate
expansion bus communications are valid.
Digital Output Status - lights when the digital
output is activated.
Protection
The MX16160 module is protected by internal
solid state Polyswitches on the incoming
power. These Polyswitches are not
replaceable and will reset themselves if the
condition that caused the fault returns to
normal.
Production Date
To determine when a module was
manufactured, check the module status
report for the module in SuperVision. Refer to
the SuperVision User’s Guide for more
information about the module status report.
A sticker on the back of the module also
shows the date the module was
manufactured. The first three characters on
the sticker indicate the type of module. The
next two characters show the year and month
of manufacture. (The month digit is in
hexadecimal.)
