Overview
The ioLogik E2242 is a member of the E2000 line of ioLogik Active Ethernet I/O products, which
are designed for intelligent, pro-active status reporting of attached sensors, transmitters, and
transducers, over a network. The E2242 comes with 4 embedded analog inputs and 12 configurable
DIOs of which the I/O combination is extremely flexible and suitable for various applications. The
ioLogik E2242 also supports an optional hot-pluggable Liquid Crystal Module (LCM) for viewing
and configuring 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 a 100 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.

ioLogik E2242 User’s Manual Introduction
1-3
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 E2000 series supports an optional hot-pluggable Liquid Crystal 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 E2000 series’ IP address and netmask can also be configured
using the LCM, and one LCM can be used to maintain and configure multiple ioLogik products.
Product Features
Analog input
The ioLogik E2242 supports both currents and voltage as analog inputs, connecting various kinds
of sensors with a 16-bit high resolution and 100 samples/second (all channels) sampling rate.
Configurable I/O channels
The ioLogik E2242 provides the flexibility to handle almost any field installation with 12
configurable input/output channels. This enables you to define any custom configurations such as
6 inputs and 6 outputs, 8 inputs and 4 outputs, or 10 inputs and 2 outputs.
Digital inputs
The ioLogik E2242 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.
Wet Contact with NPN sensor
Wet Contact with PNPsensor
Patented Click&Go logic for easy local control without programming
Moxa’s Click&Go logic is used with Active Ethernet I/O products to make 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.

ioLogik E2242 User’s Manual Introduction
1-4
Instant event reporting by TCP, UDP, e-mail, or SNMP trap
Active Ethernet I/O products 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 E2000 series supports Peer-to-Peer I/O operation, where sensor signals are transmitted
over Ethernet to another ioLogik E2000 series device. For typical 100 Mbps LANs, latency is only
100 ms.
Power fail counter storage memory
The ioLogik E2242 can store event counter values for digital inputs. Moreover, these values will not
be lost during a power failure or after disconnection.
New internal register and timer functions
Two new Click&Go functions have been added to the ioLogik E2242. The internal register not
only allows the user to redirect the result of the previous logic to the current one, but also to
control I/O remotely via Modbus/TCP from SCADA software when Click&Go is still running. The
timer allows users to perform such tasks as setting a period of delay for Click&Go.
RoHS compliance
As required by EU regulations, the ioLogik E2242 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 E2242 to be configured using a direct connection to a host
computer rather than remotely over the Internet.
2. Set the host PC’s IP address to 192.168.127.xxx. (xxx: from 001 to 253). In Windows, you can
adjust this setting 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 is to attach an appropriate ioLogik
R2000 series I/O. The 2 ioLogiks can be snapped together using the RS-485 System Bus connector,
as shown in the following figure. For the ioLogik E2000 series, additional digital I/O channels are
added using the ioLogik R2110. Additional analog channels are added using the ioLogik R2140.

ioLogik E2242 User’s Manual Initial Setup
2-3
ATTENTION
Multiple ioLogik E2000/R2000 units can be snapped together as part of the same RS-485 system,
but when connecting the power, be sure to use the following steps, in the order shown here:
1. Remove the first ioLogik’s TB1 terminal block.
2. Snap all ioLogik units together, with the system bus on the side panel.
3. Install the first ioLogik’s TB1 terminal block.
4. Turn on the system power.
ATTENTION
A total of 31 additional ioLogik R2000 products can be attached to one ioLogik E2000. The best
space-saving arrangement is to use TB1 terminal block for the cascaded RS-485 connections,
instead of using the system bus.
ATTENTION
All I/O channels of the ioLogik E2000+R2000 system can be polled by a remote host PC, but the
Click&Go logic on can only be used on the ioLogik E2000. Click&go local logic control is
currently not supported by R2000 products.
ATTENTION
When using the RS-485 cascading interface or System Bus to expand more I/O channels or to
connect to RS-485 Modbus devices, the ioLogik E2000 will have an RS-485 Unit ID of 1. The ID
of the attached ioLogik R2000 or other devices should always have a Unit ID of 2 or greater, with
an upper limit of 99. Although ioLogik E2000 series allow the attached Modbus devices to have
the ID up to 247, the maximal ID on the ioLogik R2000 is limited to 99..
Setting the RS-485 Baudrate
The RS-485 port on the ioLogik E2000 series is reserved to connect to another RS-485 I/O device.
The RS-485 port can run Modbus/RTU or I/O command sets. The baudrate is set by a physical dial
on the back of the ioLogik. The default settings are baudrate = 115200, parity check = N, data bits =
8, and stop bit = 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 E2242 after making any changes to the RS-485 baud rate.

Connecting the I/O Device
With 4 channels of analog inputs and 12 configurable DIOs, the ioLogik E2242 offers great
flexibility for connecting I/O devices. Also, unlike traditional Ethernet I/O products, the ioLogik
E2242 can connect to analog sensors, dry contact, PNP, and NPN sensors at the same time. The
sensor type determines your wiring approach, as shown in the following examples:

Dry Contact
Wet Contact with NPN sensor Wet Contact with PNPsensor
Digital Output

ioLogik E2242 User’s Manual Initial Setup
2-5
ATTENTION
When connecting the I/O device to the ioLogik’s dry contacts, we strongly recommended
connecting DI.Com to the power of the external sensor to avoid affecting other channels. DI.Com
input power should be limited at 12 to 36 VDC.

ATTENTION
Sensor types are set in groups, with DIO-0 to DIO-5 forming one group and DIO-6- to DIO-11
forming another group. 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., DIO-4 and DIO-5). Likewise, if a PNP
sensor is connected to DIO-6, then only PNP sensors can be connected to the other DI channels in
the group (i.e., DIO-10 and DIO-11).
Software Installation
ioAdmin is a Windows utility provided for the configuration and management of ioLogik E2000
products and attached I/O devices. ioAdmin can be used from anywhere on the network to monitor
and configure ioLogik E2000 products. You can also configure some of the settings through the web
console or optional LCM.
1. Installation from CD: Insert the Document and Software CD into the host computer. In the
Software\ioAdmin directory of the CD, locate and run SETUP.EXE. The installation program

NOTE: The best approach to set up a previously configured ioLogik is to reset it to the
factory default using the reset button (see Chap.1). You can then use ioAdmin to configure the
ioLogik.
NOTE: If there are multiple network interfaces in the host computers, be sure to select the
correct one before searching.

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 “IP Address” 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.
