1. What are the FP I/O expansion modules?
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The FP I/O expansion modules are used to expand the FP gateway with additional inputs and outputs.
They are connected to the FP gateway using the IO-Bus and also supplied with power from there.
Note:
Due to the modular layout of the FP system comprising one basic device and up to 8 expansions, it
can be adjusted flexibly to all possible application situations and expanded to up to 128 inputs and
outputs.
The FP IO bus provides the serial synchronous two-wire bus I²C (Inter-IC bus). This bus is a bidirectional bus in
the master/slave architecture with an integrated transmission protocol and software addressing, which only re-
quired two connection lines between the ICs. In addition to the I²C bus, the FP IO-Bus has 2 control lines and the
5V power supply.
If you wish to connect more than one I/O expansion module to an FP device, please contact FP InovoLabs GmbH
technical support.
1.1 Model variants for the FP I/O expansion modules
Various versions of the modules are available, each of which has a different combination of inputs and outputs.
Up to 8 I/O modules with up to 128 I/Os can be coupled to an FP Gateway via the I/O expansion bus.
8 digital inputs (switchable via potential-free contacts, max. 5 V)
4 digital outputs (potential-free, AC/DC 125 V, max. 130 mA)
8 digital inputs (switchable via potential-free contacts, max. 5 V)
8 digital outputs (potential-free, AC/DC 125 V, max. 130 mA)
8 digital inputs (switchable via potential-free contacts, max. 5 V)
4 relays; (potential-free, 230 VAC 3 A, 110 VDC 0.3 A)
Two free slots for S1 expansion modules (see “S1 expansion modules ...” table)
The XS00 module is a special case. It can be equipped with two S1 plug-in modules:
S1-expansion modules (requires optional Xs00-module expansion)
Up to two S1 plug-in modules can be installed per XS00 module. Several XS00-module expansions are cascadable.
