ioMirror E3210 User’s Manual
Introduction

Features
y
High speed mirroring of digital I/O signals over Ethernet
The ioMirror E3210 transmits digital I/O signals over Ethernet at very high speeds, with less
than 20 ms latency in a local area 100Mbps network. The extremely low latency makes
ioMirror E3210 an excellent choice for transmitting low and middle-speed signals, such as
liquid level or optical sensor input.
y
Easiest setup for digital output signals driven by remote input
The ioMirrorAdmin utility for Windows makes it easy to configure input-to-output mapping,
both locally and remotely. Basic Configuration is provided for module -to-module mapping.
Advanced Configuration is provided for more flexible channel-to-channel mapping, and allows
one digital input signal to be mapped to multiple digital outputs. Remote configuration can also
be completed using a web browser interface.
y
Designed to use existing Ethernet infrastructure, saving time and wiring cost
With a high speed Ethernet infrastructure already in place, there is no longer any reason to go
through the expense and effort of laying down additional I/O wiring. Modern Ethernet, fiber
optic lines, or WLAN can provide high speed connectivity, with general input/output signals
carried by a pair of ioMirror I/O servers. Wiring plans are now easier than ever.
y
No programming, and no separate PLC or PC controller
A separate PLC or PC controller is not required for ioMirror operation. No ladder or C
programming is required, either. All configuration can be done through ioMirrorAdmin or
through the web console.
y
Local sensor signals duplicated to up to sixteen locations
Each digital input signal can be mapped to two IP destinations. For example, you may monitor
the eight tank level signals by up to sixteen display panels at the same time.
y
Easy and flexible installation
The Windows utility for installation and configuration is easy to use. For basic module-to-
module configuration, you may simply assign the destination IP address for mapping. For
advanced configuration, you can easily specify the mapping destination for each channel.
y
Easy troubleshooting tools
ioMirror connections are easily monitored and managed. There are many tools and features that
can alert you to a problem or show you the status of a connection:
-
Optional LCD display for local IP configuration
-
Instant error status with special built-in alarm port for 24 VDC alarm devices, such as buzzer
or LED tower
-
Alarm and event log that records each connection and disconnection
-
Windows utility that displays channel mappings and status for every ioMirror server on the
network
-
Automatic recovery within seconds when network is reconnected, without rebooting
-
Modbus/TCP support for SCADA systems
