                  IMPORTANT SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS 

 

It is very important for the user to consider the possible adverse 
effects of power, wiring, component, sensor, or software failures 
in designing any type of control or monitoring system.  This is 
especially important where economic property loss or human life 
is involved.  It is important that the user employ satisfactory 
overall system design.  It is agreed between the Buyer and 
Acromag, that this is the Buyer's responsibility. 

 

 

1.0   GENERAL INFORMATION 

 

The I/O Server Module Series IOS-440 module provides 32 

channels of isolated digital. Four units may be mounted on a  
carrier board to provide up to 128 inputs per system slot.  Inputs 
of this module are bipolar and can be used to sense positive or 
negative voltages in 3 ranges according to the model:

 16V Max

OPERATING TEMPERATURE RANGE

 

IOS-440-2 

-40 to +85 C 

 
The inputs normally function as independent input level 

detectors without interrupts.  However, each input line includes 
built-in event sense circuitry with programmable polarity, 
debounce, and interrupt support.  Inputs also include hysteresis 
for increased noise immunity.  The IOS-440 utilizes state of the 
art Surface-Mounted Technology (SMT) to achieve its wide 
functionality and is an ideal choice for a wide range of industrial 
I/O applications that require a high-density, highly reliable, high-
performance interface at a low cost. 
 

Important Note:

 The following IOS model are accessories to the 

IOS Server Models: IOS-7200, IOS-7200-WIN, IOS-7400, and 
IOS-7400-WIN; which are cULus Listed.  This equipment is 
suitable for use in Class I, Division 2, Groups A, B, C, and D or 
non-hazardous locations only. 
 

KEY IOS-440 FEATURES 

 

High Channel Count

 - Provides programmable monitor and 

control of 32 optically isolated input points.  Four units 
mounted on a carrier board provide 128 isolated input points 
in a single VMEbus or PCI system slot. 

 

Wide Range Bipolar Input Voltage

 - Model ranges provide 

interface capability for bipolar voltages from  16 to  40V DC 
or AC peak (see Specifications section). 

 

Optically Isolated

 - Individual bipolar opto-couplers provide 

isolation.  There are four groups (ports) of 8 channels, each 
which include separate port commons to ensure port-to-port 
isolation.  Individual ports are isolated from each other and 
from the logic. 

 

Programmable Polarity Event Interrupts

 - Interrupts are 

software programmable for positive (low-to-high) or negative 
(high-to-low) input level transitions on all 32 channels.  
Using two channels per input, change-of-state transitions 
may also be configured. 

 

Input Hysteresis

 - Isolated inputs include hysteresis for 

increased noise immunity. 

 

Programmable Debounce

 - The event sense input circuitry 

includes programmable debounce times for all 32 channels.  
Debounce time is the duration of time that must pass before 
the input transition is recognized as valid at the FPGA input.  
This helps prevent false events and increases noise 
immunity. 

 

Reverse Polarity Protection 

- Bipolar inputs are not 

polarized and are inherently reverse polarity protected. 

 

No Configuration Jumpers or Switches

 - All configuration 

is performed through software commands with no internal 
jumpers to configure or switches to set. 

 

Loopback Compatible with IOS-445 Output Module

 - The 

field side P2 pinouts of this model are directly compatible 
with those of the Acromag Model IOS-445 32-Channel 
Digital Output Module for direct closed-loop monitoring of 
the output states.  The IOS-440 also shares the same P2 
pinout used on the IOS 408 32-Channel I/O Module, for 
channels 0-31. 

 

Conduction Cooled Module 

- I/O modules employ 

advanced thermal technologies. A thermal pad and module 
cover wicks heat away from the module and transfers the 
energy to a heat spreading friction plate. Heat moves to the
