3.1 Appropriate use
The VoE IOBox provides an interface between industrial process technology and the
personal computer (PC).
It is intended for use on a PC, which is equipped with an Ethernet interface. The PC is
subject to EC Directive 89/336/EEC and must meet the EMC protection requirements.
Products that meet these requirements bear the CE mark.
The data between the VoE IOBox and the PC is exchanged via a shielded CAT6 cable with
an X-Cross connector on the side of the module. The cable is connected to the X1 socket.
The module has 6 inputs and 4 outputs for processing digital 24 V signals.
For operation of the inputs and outputs, an external 24 V supply voltage is required. The
terminals are divided into two groups with the GND potential. The inputs E1.0-E1.7 and the
outputs A1.0-A1.7 have a common GND potential as well as the inputs E2.0-E2.7 and the
outputs A2.0-A2.7.
The use of the VoE IOBox in combination with external clamping or relay boards requires
professional installation in a closed control cabinet.
Therefore check the shielding capacity of the PC housing and cable shield before using the
equipment.
Any other use or use beyond the scope of this document is deemed contrary to the
designated use. The manufacturer shall not be liable for any resulting damages.
The intended use requires compliance with all instructions in the technical manual.
Limits of use
When using the VoE IOBox, in a plant, the interference resistance and emissions of the plant
can also change. Increased emission or decreased interference resistance could means that
the conformity of the system is no longer ensured.
The VoE IOBox must remain in its original packaging until use.
Do not remove the identification numbers (serial number) of the VoE IOBox. To do so
will result in loss of the warranty.

3.2 Foreseeable misuse
Any other use besides that determined in Appropriate use this chapter or any use extending
beyond this is not appropriate!
The operator will bear sole responsibility
for any damages that may result from such use.
the company VisionTools accepts no liability.
In case of changes or unauthorized modifications to the system, any liability or guarantee
from VisionTools Bildanalyse Systeme GmbH will cease to exist.
The electromagnetic behaviour of the system can be impaired by additions or changes of any
kind.
Therefore, make no changes or additions to the system without consulting with the company
VisionTools Bildanalyse Systeme GmbH and receiving written approval to do so.
Danger!
Dangers may occur following improper use.

on the left of the RESET button begins flashing.
Then adjust the IP address in the "TCP/IP-Client - Init" object (see chapter Change the IP
address) and briefly switch the box off.
NOTE!
Only the power supply may be connected for resetting.
The video "How to reset the VoE IO-Box.mp4" serves as an additional

4.6.1 Log
The commands are sent and received to the VoE-IOBox via "TCP-IP". The correct IP address
as well as the correct port must be entered.
All commands are sent in plain text (ASCII). Values begin with an angle bracket and end with
an angle bracket. Values are sent as decimal values in plain text (ASCII). If a command is not
understood or is wrong, the module sends "ENR<X>".
1. Example (read out limit values of the outputs):
Command to read: RCRL1 (1 to 4 are the outputs of the VoE-IOBox)
2. Example (read error):
Command to read: ERR (Result 99 = over-current)
