Overview
The ioLogik E2212 is a member of the E2000 line of ioLogikActive Ethernet I/O servers, which are
designed for intelligent, pro-active status reporting of attached sensors, transmitters, transducers,
and valves over a network. It includes 2 MB of Flash ROM, 8 MB of SDRAM, and supports an
optional hot-pluggable Liquid Crystal Display Module (LCM) to view and configure device
settings.
Traditional Remote I/O
Ethernet remote I/O solutions have been on the market for a long time. Traditional solutions are
“passive,” in the sense that I/O servers wait passively to be polled by a host computer. The response
time in this type of setup, however, tends to be on the order of seconds. The “passive” remote I/O
structure is simply inadequate for Data Acquisition and Control (DAC) systems that require an
efficient, real-time I/O solution with a response time on the order of hundredths of seconds.
Active Ethernet I/O
Moxa’s Active Ethernet I/O line was developed specifically to address the limitations of the
traditional passive approach. Rather than having the host computer poll the I/O device server over
the network for the status of each I/O device, the Active Ethernet I/O server intelligently sends the
host computer status information only under specified conditions. This is a report by exception
approach, which greatly reduces the load on CPU and network resources. Network packets are far
fewer in number and far smaller in size, since I/O information is only sent when necessary, and only
information from the specified I/O device is sent. Based on field tests of an ioLogik E2000 series
server used in an RFID system, 50 ms is the typical response time over a100 Mbps Ethernet network.
Moxa’s active I/O messaging system uses TCP or UDP for I/O messaging and supports sending
messages to up to ten host computers simultaneously.
In addition to providing intelligent status reporting, Active Ethernet I/O servers are backwards
compatible, with all of the functions and capabilities of traditional passive remote I/O servers.
Click&Go
Moxa developed the Click&Go logic control interface for easy configuration and deployment of
Active Ethernet I/O. Click&Go’s intuitive, graphical interface lets administrators use simple
IF/THEN statements as rules to determine how the Active Ethernet I/O server responds to different
I/O conditions. For example, the Active Ethernet I/O server could be set to turn on an attached
switch as well as send an e-mail or SNMP trap when an attached event counter reaches a certain
value. Click&Go makes it easy to define a set of these rules, which will become the basis for your
Active Ethernet I/O system.

Optional Liquid Crystal Display Module (LCM)
The ioLogik E2212 supports an optional hot-pluggable Liquid Crystal Display Module (LCM) for
field management and configuration. The LCM can display network and I/O settings such as digital
input mode and value. The ioLogik E2212’s IP address and netmask may also be configured using
the LCM, and one LCM can be used to maintain and configure multiple ioLogik E2212 servers.
Product Features
Configurable I/O channels
The ioLogik E2212 provides the flexibility to handle almost any field installation, with 8 fixed input
channels, 8 fixed output channels, and 4 configurable input/output channels. This enables you to
define custom configurations such as 12 inputs and 8 outputs, 8 inputs and 12 outputs, or 10 inputs
and 10 outputs.
Accepts PNP or NPN sensors
Unlike traditional Ethernet I/O products, the ioLogik E2212 supports dry contact, PNP, and NPN
sensors. The sensor type is determined by your wiring approach. Sensors can be wired in two
different groups, so both PNP and NPN sensors can be connected to the unit at the same time.

Patented Click&Go logic for easy local control without programming
On Active Ethernet I/O servers, Moxa’s Click&Go logic makes it easy to define a set of rules for
local control of attached output devices. For example, you can define a rule that activates an attached
switch and sends an e-mail when a sensor event occurs a certain number of times.
Instant event reporting by TCP, UDP, e-mail, or SNMP trap
Active Ethernet I/O servers can report I/O events automatically to any network host. Reports are
fully customizable and can be sent by TCP, UDP, e-mail, or SNMP trap.
Peer-to-peer I/O for transmission of sensor signals over Ethernet without controller
The ioLogik E2212 supports Peer-to-Peer I/O operation, where sensor signals are transmitted over
Ethernet to another ioLogik E2212. For typical 100 Mbps LANs, latency is only 100 ms.
Power fail counter storage memory
The ioLogik E2212 stores event counter values so that they are not lost during a power failure or
disconnection.
RoHS compliance
As required by EU regulations, the ioLogik E2212 is fully RoHS-compliant.

Hardware Installation
Connecting the Power
Connect the 12 to 48 VDC power line to the ioLogik’s terminal block (TB1). If power is properly
supplied, the power LED will glow a solid red color until the system is ready
ATTENTION
Disconnect the power before installing and wiring!
Disconnect the power cord before installing and/or wiring your ioLogik.
Do not exceed the maximum current for the wiring!
Determine the maximum possible current for each power wire and common wire. Observe all
electrical codes dictating the maximum current allowable for each wire size.
If the current exceeds the maximum rating, the wiring could overheat, causing serious damage to
your equipment.
Grounding the Unit
The ioLogik is equipped with two grounding points, one on the wall mount socket and the other on
the DIN-rail mount. Both grounding points are connected to the same conducting pathway.
Connecting to the Network
1. Connect the ioLogik to the host PC with an Ethernet cable. For initial configuration, it is
recommended that the ioLogik E2212 be configured using a direct connection to a host
computer rather than remotely over the network.
2. Set the host PC’s IP address to 192.168.127.xxx. (xxx: from 001 to 253). In Windows, you may
set this through the Control Panel.
Default IP Address Default Netmask Default Gateway
192.168.127.254 255.255.255.0 None
3. Use ioAdmin or the web console to detect the ioLogik. Once the ioLogik has been detected,
modify the settings as needed for your network environment, then restart the server.
Adding More I/O Channels
A cost effective way to add more I/O channels to your ioLogik E2000 I/O server is to attach the
appropriate ioLogik R2000 I/O server. The two servers can be snapped together using the RS-485
system bus connector, as shown in the following figure. For the ioLogik E2212, additional digital
I/O channels are added using the ioLogik R2110. For additional details, please refer to the ioLogik
R2110 user’s manual.

ioLogik E2212 Series User’s Manual Initial Setup
2-3
Setting the RS-485 Baudrate
The RS-485 port on the ioLogik E2212 is reserved to chain another RS-485 I/O server. The RS-485
port can run Modbus/RTU or I/O command sets. The baudrate is set by a physical dial on the backof
the ioLogik. The default settings are baudrate = 115200, parity check = N, data bits = 8, and stop bit
= 1. Modbus/RTU only supports N, 8, 1, so E, 7, 1 is not supported. When using the RS-485
cascading interface, the ioLogik E2212 will have an RS-485 Unit ID of 1.
Baudrate for RS-485
(parameters are N, 8, 1) Dial setting and corresponding baudrate: 0:115200 1:57600 2:38400 3:19200
4:9600 5:4800 6:2400 7:1200
Remember to restart the ioLogik E2212 after making any changes to the RS-485 baud rate.
Connecting the I/O Device
With 4 channels that are configurable for digital input or digital output operation, the ioLogik E2212
offers great flexibility in connecting I/O devices. Also, unlike traditional Ethernet I/O products, the
ioLogik E2212 can connect to dry contact, PNP, and NPN sensors at the same time. The sensor type
determines your wiring approach, as shown in the following examples:
Digital Output
Dry Contact
Wet Contact with NPN sensor Wet Contact with PNPsensor
ATTENTION
Sensor types are set in groups, with DI-0 to DI-5 forming one group and DI-6- to DI-11 forming
another group (assuming that channels 8 through 11 are configured as digital input channels). If
an NPN sensor is connected to DI-0, then only NPN sensors can be connected to the other DI
channels in the group (i.e., DI-1 through DI-5). Likewise, if a PNP sensor is connected to DI-6,
then only PNP sensors can be connected to the other DI channels in the group (i.e., DI-7 through
DI-11).

Software Installation
ioAdmin is a Windows utility provided for the configuration and management of the ioLogik E2212
and attached I/O devices. It may be used fromanywhere on the network to monitor and configure the
ioLogik E2212. You may also configure some of the settings through the web console or optional
LCM.
1. Installation from CD: Insert the Document and Software CDinto the host computer. In the root
directory of the CD, locate and run SETUP.EXE. The installation program will guide you
through the installation process and install the ioAdmin utility. You can also install the MXIO
DLL library or ioEventLog separately.
2. Open ioAdmin: After installation is finished, run ioAdmin from the Windows Start menu:
Start ÆProgram Files ÆMOXA ÆIO Server ÆUtility ÆioAdmin.
3. Search the network for the server: On the menu bar, select System ÆAuto ScanActive
Ethernet I/O Server.A dialog window will appear. Click Start Search to begin searching for
your unit.
If ioAdmin is unable to find your unit, there may be a problem with your network settings.
Connecting Multiple ioLogik E2000 Units
If multiple ioLogik E2000 units are installed on the same network, remember that each unit has
the same default IP address. You will need to assign a different IP address to each unit to avoid
IP conflicts. ioAdmin automatically detects IP conflicts and gives you a chance to modify each
unit’s IP address in the "IPAddress" columns. Click the "Set" button to reboot the
corresponding unit with its new IP address. Click the "Re-Search" button to refresh the list of
units found by ioAdmin.

4. Monitoring I/O status: Once your unit has been found by ioAdmin, you may view the status
of all attached I/O devices on ioAdmin’s main screen.
You may now use ioAdmin to setup or configure your unit. Please refer to Chapter 3 for
additional information on using ioAdmin.
