Using The Isolated Digital I/O
T h e I s o l a t e d D i g i t a l I / O D e f i n e d
The MicroLYNX comes standard with a set of
six (6) +5 to +24VDC I/O lines which may
be programmed individually as either
general purpose or dedicated inputs
or outputs, or collectively as a
group. The isolated digital I/O
may also be expanded to twenty-
four (24) lines in groups of six (6).
The I/O groups and lines are
numbered in the following fashion:
Group 20 = Lines 21 - 26 (Standard)
Group 30 = Lines 31 - 36 (Optional)
Group 40 = Lines 41 - 46 (Optional)
Group 50 = Lines 51 - 56 (Optional)
The isolated digital I/O may be defined as either active HIGH or
active LOW. When the I/O is configured as active HIGH, the
level is +5 to +24VDC and the state will be read as a “1”. If the
level is 0 VDC, then the state will be read as “0”. Inversely, if
configured as active LOW, then the state of the I/O will be read as
a “1” when the level is LOW, and a “0” when the level is HIGH.
The active HIGH/LOW state is configured by the third parameter of the IOS
variable, which is explained further on. The goal of this I/O configuration
scheme is to maximize compatibility between the MicroLYNX and standard
sensors and switches.

The following figure illustrates the pinout of I/O group 20:
The
is the voltage
of the I/O, it is HIGH if it is
5 to 24 VDC, or LOW if it is 0 VDC. The
is read as a “1” or a “0” where “1” is
considered to be Active/ON and “0” is
considered to be Inactive/OFF as
determined by the LEVEL of the I/O
and how the I/O was defined to
respond to that Level
