IO-R-34 Module
The PCI I/O Module is designed for remote monitoring and
control applications that enables end-to-end automation and
device-to-enterprise integration. The I/O Module allows a
PCI8000 to interface directly with simple non-intelligent inputs
and outputs remotely located up to 4,000 feet away.
Connectivity is established via an industry-standard RS 485
communications bus. Multiple I/O Modules can be utilized
with a single PCI8000, providing 250+ I/O points on that one
device.
FEATURES
• The 34-point module provides 16 Universal Inputs, 10 Relay
Outputs, 8 Analog Outputs, and can power up to 4 16-point
modules.

ORDERING GUIDE
INPUTS AND OUTPUTS
I/O modules offer a wide variety of input configurations which are jumper selectable and software configurable. Each
model offers different quantities of outputs to suit the specific application.
APPLICATIONS
The Phoenix Controls PCI I/O Module is a programmable input/output module that can be used as:
• A standalone controller
Physical sensors and switches may be connected to the PCI I/O Module, which then performs the desired control by using built-
in functions (see section below) to switch or modulate PCI I/O Module outputs.
• An input/output (I/O) expansion module
Physical sensors, switches and actuators may be connected to the PCI I/O Module and their values passed across the PCI8000 to
valve controllers on the room-level network1for use in their control sequences. Data from the PCI I/O Module may also be
passed across the building-level network to the BMS for monitoring purposes.

• A controller integrated into the Celeris, Theris or Traccel system
Data may be passed, through the PCI8000, between valve mounted controllers on the room-level network1and the PCI I/O
Modules on their BACnet network to supplement the control functions of either device. An example might be interlocking door
locks between an anteroom and a space under control so that doors may not be opened until the pressure stabilizes or a certain
number of air changes have occurred.
1. LON = Celeris, Traccel, or Theris; BACnet = Traccel or Theris.
The PCI I/O Module can also be used to implement virtually any room-level control sequence that relies on inputs
from physical sensors, switches or network based variables to develop the desired control output, function or interlock.
Typical control applications include lighting, temperature (spaces adjacent to controlled spaces), and access.

Phoenix Controls Wiring Recommendations
• All circuits must conform to the requirements of an NEC Class 2 (dry) circuit.
• Use multiple transformers instead of larger transformers when more than 100 VA is required.
• Each pressurization zone should have either a dedicated single-phase primary circuit, or a secondary circuit discon-
nect
• Use stranded wire for ease of installation.
• Follow good wiring practices:
• Locate cables away from sources of electrical interference (EMI/RFI).
• Do not run signal or communication cable in the same conduit or wire way as power cables.
• If signal cable must cross power cables place these at a 90-degree angle.
• Shield or drain wires, if required, should be wrapped with insulating tape to prevent contact with exposed
conductors or contacts.
• Maintain a consistent color code or polarity all the way through the wiring system.
• Power supply and signal isolation on I/O devices vary from manufacturer to manufacturer. Verify the wiring device
manufacturer’s recommendations for isolating power and signal common connections and maintain polarity.
• Local and national electrical codes take precedence.
• Strip 0.25" (6.4 mm) of insulation from each conductor, twist the strands, insert the conductor fully into the terminal
block, and tighten the terminal.
• Test the wire connection by pulling on each conductor.
•See
Phoenix Recommended Cables for approved cable manufacturers and wire types.
Ground Wire
An earth ground spade lug (0.187") is provided on the base of the IO-R-34 for connection to earth ground. For
maximum protection from electrostatic discharge or other forms of EMI, connect each earth ground using #16 AWG or
larger wire. Keep these wires as short as possible. The following figure shows the location of the IO-R-34 earth
grounding wire.

I/O Module Combinations and Power Options
The following table shows possible module combinations and their power sources. For example, Option 2 includes a
total of fourteen IO-R-16s and one IO-R-34. Four of the IO-R-16s are powered by the IO-R-34; the remaining ten IO-
R-16s must be powered by an external source.
Power Wiring: IO-R-34
The IO-R-34 can be powered by wiring to a dedicated Class 2, 24 V transformer, or to a 24 Vdc power source. The IO-
R-34 can share transformer power with a PCI8000.
• If powering an IO-R-34 from a 24 V transformer other than a PCI8000, do not power other equipment from the
same transformer or conducted noise may result. And do not ground either side of the transformer’s 24 V secondary.
• Do not connect two or more IO-R-34 modules together. Connecting IO-R-34 modules directly to each other may
allow for hardware configurations that lead to equipment damage.
• Do not apply power until all other wiring is completed.
The following figure shows power wiring to a 24 Vac/Vdc power source. Note the position of the power connector at
the lower corner of the unit. Unplug the connector from the module and install wire connections to the connector as
shown.

Power Wiring: IO-R-16
Typical power for an IO-R-16 is provided through the 5-pin connector using 15 Vdc from an IO-R-34, which can
support up to four IO-R-16 modules. Power for the IO-R-16 can be taken directly from the IO-R-34 by connecting
modules together as shown in the previous illustration.
In other cases, the IO-R-16 may be remote mounted from the IO-R-34 module. The maximum allowable voltage drop
due to wiring is 1.5 Vdc. The maximum draw of an IO-R-16 module using four relay outputs is 0.133A/2.00W. If the
IO-R-16 module is remote mounted from an IO-R-34, use the following table for the recommended voltage and wire
gauge.
For an example, consider a system where two IO-R-16 modules are mounted remotely in a location 500 feet (152m)
away. The worst case amps used by each remote IO-R-16 is 0.133 A. Looking at the table above, in the 0.25 A column,
a 16 AWG paired cable drops 0.20 V per 100 feet, meaning a 500 foot run would drop 1 V. This would be a better
choice than an 18 AWG paired cable, which would drop 1.6 V, exceeding the 1.5 V maximum allowable drop.
The IO-R-16 may also be powered by a Phoenix Controls WPS420 or a 3rd party 13.5 - 15.75 Vdc power supply (±4%
regulation) wired to the P+ and P- terminals of an IO-R-16 module 5-position connector. See the IO-R-16 Installation
Guide.

IMPORTANT: IO-R-16 and IO-R-34 Power Backup
Typical power for an IO-R-16 module is provided by IO-R-34. UPS backup power to the IO-R-16 and IO-R-34 is
recommended to prevent the following possible issues:
• Load cycling from I/O relays dropping out.
• Totalized counts zeroed out.
• History (logging) entries for associated I/O points are down and NRIO device down alarms.
• Interruption of I/O firmware upgrade may cause module to be inoperable.
Default settings for AOs and DOs can be set in case of power outage or communication loss. See the Niagara NRIO
Drive Guide for details.
15VDC Power Options (UPS or Battery Backup recommended) for IO-R-16
RS485 Communications
RS485 communications from the PCI8000 controller to each I/O module, or between an assembly of modules, requires
a continuous daisy-chain wiring topology using a shielded, twisted-pair cable using 5-position end connectors.
Using shielded 18-22 AWG wiring (refer to TIA-EIA-485 standard), wire in a continuous multi-drop: positive to
positive, negative to negative, shield to shield. Connect the shield wire (reference ground) to earth ground at one end
only, such as at the PCI8000. See the PCI8000 Product Data Sheet (MKT-0430) for the correct RS485 bias settings.
Daisy Chain Wiring
Connect S terminal wiring as shown in the following illustrations or communication errors may result. The S terminal
serves as a reference ground between isolated RS-485 ports on the PCI8000 and IO-R-16 and IO-R-34 modules.
