The In-Sight
®
Model 1400 I/O Expansion Module provides a convenient way to access the
power, serial, trigger and high-speed output connections of the In-Sight 3400 and 5000
series sensors. The expansion module also extends the capabilities of these sensors by
adding discrete inputs/outputs and hardware handshaking for serial communications.
Other features of the model 1400 I/O Expansion Module include:
• Detachable terminal blocks
• LED status indicators - MODULE OK, COMM OK (data transmission), and one for
trigger and each input and output
• DIN-Rail mountable
An I/O cable is needed to connect an In-Sight sensor to the 1400 I/O Expansion Module.
The I/O cable has a DB15 connector on one end, and an M12 connector on the other. (See
Figure 1-2 on page 2.) I/O cables must be purchased separately.
