An Output Board provides:
• four fused-protected, Form C, Single Pole, Double
Throw (SPDT) Output Relays with contacts rated
for 1.6 A at 24 to 240 VAC (400 VA maximum) for
controlling system circuits
• four red Relay Status LEDs for the output relays.
Each LED is set (independently by positioning the
associated Relay Output Jumper) to light when
the relay is energized or when it is de-energized.
• four control Override Switches, each with a
yellow Override Status LED indicator (only on
MO2-1C Model Output Boards). An override
switch allows you to override the control signal to
an output relay, and either energize or de-energize
the output relay until the override is reset to
normal operation.
Mod I/O Assembly Parameter and Addresses
Several parameters must be set so the I/O Assembly
can interface with the various input devices, and the
system controller. Also, a Board/Point Address must
be established for each input device and output relay
used on the assembly, in order for the controller to
recognize and process the input signals and generate
the proper output signals. These board/point
addresses are programmed into the controller at initial
setup.
Modular I/O Base Settings
An I/O Base provides for selection of the RS485
network-communication baud rate. Set the baud rate
by positioning the jumper on the pins of the Baud Rate
Selection Jumper Terminal (J11). See Figure 3.
The I/O Base provides two analog output signals for
controlling a system’s analog devices, such as fan
speed controllers and damper position actuators. The
analog outputs generate either a 0.1-10 VDC or
4-20 mA output signal. After the target devices are
wired to the Analog Output Terminal Block (J8) and
the I/O Assembly is powered, I/O Base automatically
detects the impedance of target devices and
generates the appropriate output signal to the target
device. See Figure 3 and Table 1.
Modular I/O Assembly Board Address
The I/O Assembly’s Board Address is established
using the Board Address DIP Switch (S1) on the I/O
Base. The DIP switch is a binary switch block. Each
switch in the switch block is assigned a number (1, 2,
4, 8, 16). The board address is equal to the sum of the
numbers of the switches that are in the up position.
See Figure 3.
The three switches on the left side of the eight-position
DIP switch block (numbered 32, 64 and 128) are
inactive and are not used to establish a board address.
Input Board Settings
An Input Point Address is automatically established
for each input device wired to the I/O Assembly in
order for the controller to receive the input-device
signal.
The input point address corresponds to the A1 to A8
terminal positions on the lower input terminal block. On
I/O Assemblies with one input board, the point
addresses are 1 through 8. On I/O Assemblies with
two input boards, the addresses are 1 to 8 on the first
input board and 9 to 16 on the second input board.
The only setting required on the input board is the
Input Device Selection DIP Switch (S1). Position the
individual switches on the DIP switch block in the up
position for any compatible active input device. When
an NTC temperature sensor is connected to an input
terminal (A1 to A8), set the corresponding switch to
the down position (factory default position). See
Figure 4.
Output Board Point Settings
Each Output Board has four output relays with line
voltage contacts. The system-equipment control
circuits may be wired to either the Normally Open
(N.O.) or Normally Closed (N.C.) contacts on the
Form C, SPDT output relays. See Figure 4 and
Table 1.
The Output Point Address corresponds to the relay
on the output board. On I/O Assemblies with one
output board, the point addresses are 1 to 4. On I/O
Assemblies with two output boards, the addresses are
1 to 4 on the first output board (connected to J2
connector) and 5 to 8 on the second output board
(connected to the J4 connector). See Figure 4.
Position the Relay Output LED Jumpers. Each red
Output Relay Status LED may be set to light either
when the N.C. contacts are closed (and the relay coil
is de-energized) or when the N.O. contacts are closed
(and the coil is energized). When the LED Jumper is
installed on the upper two pins (position A), the red
LED lights when the relay is de-energized. When the
jumper is on the lower pins (position B, factory default
position), the LED lights when the relay is energized.
See Figure 4 and Table 2.
