SDM-IO16 16 Channel Input/Output Expansion Module The SDM-IO16 (see Figure 1) is a synchronously addressed peripheral. It has 16 ports that can be configured for input or output which expand the number of control ports of the datalogger. It is fully compatible with Campbell Scientific’s CR6, CR800, CR850, CR1000, CR1000X, CR3000, CR5000 and CR23X dataloggers.
SDM-IO16 16 Channel Input/Output Expansion Module The SDM-IO16 is supplied with two removable mounting brackets that attach to the ends of the unit, as shown in Figure 1. The full functions and support for the error checked communications NOTE protocol require an operating system for the datalogger and Edlog template files that post-dates March 2002.

3. Power Considerations For most applications, especially for pulse counting or status inputs, it is more normal to use the datalogger supply to power the SDM-IO16, as shown in Figure 3(a). When being used for control and outputting current the SDM-IO16 power requirements can be large compared to most Campbell Scientific products when driving significant loads.
(b) Connection with External Supply Figure 3. Connection Block Diagrams 4. Installation For correct operation the SDM-IO16 must be installed where there is no risk of water ingress or condensation. The order in which connections are made is critical. Always CAUTION connect 12 V first, followed by ground, then the control ports.
Multiple SDM-IO16s can be wired in parallel by connecting the datalogger connections of one SDM-IO16 to the next. The transient protection of the SDM-IO16 relies on a low resistance path to earth. Ensure that the ground return wire has as low a resistance as possible. Where very long cable runs are likely, or where lightning damage is a possibility, the SDM- IO16 can be fitted with optional gas discharge tubes.
Switch Setting Decimal Address Base 4 Address Figure 5. Address Selection Switch Each SDM-IO16 needs to be set to a unique address on the SDM bus, so that no two SDM peripherals share the same address.
12-9, Mode Ports 8-5, Mode Ports 4-1, Mult, Offset ) Remarks The ports on the SDM-IO16 can be configured for either input or output. When configured as input, the SDM-IO16 can measure the logical state of each port, count pulses, and measure the frequency of and determine the duty cycle of applied signals.
6.2.2 SDMCD16AC Instruction All but the oldest versions of the CR5000 operating system also support the SDMCD16AC instruction that can be used to control the SDM-IO16 for output mode only. This instruction should only be used if backward compatibility is required, as only the IO16 instruction supports error detection on communication between the peripheral and the datalogger.
The factory setting is 0. Parameter 02 specifies the command number, which is the main way of controlling what the SDM-IO16 does in response to a specific call of P188. The range of commands is described in Section 6.4 below.
Parameter 07 specifies the input location number to hold a counter to indicate errors in communicating with the SDM-IO16. All communication between the SDM-IO16 and the datalogger is error checked. If, for any reason, there is an error then the datalogger will retry the instruction 3 times before continuing with the next instruction.

1 an interrupt will be generated whenever the port changes state. The interrupt is generated by pulsing the I/O line on the SDM-IO16 until the datalogger responds by reading the port states of the SDM-IO16 in question using the SDM-IO16 command. The I/O line would normally be connected to a control port on the datalogger that activates an interrupt subroutine.
This can be useful if you need to use the SDM-IO16 in place of an SDM-CD16 or any of its later variants, or if you need to use one for output expansion only, using a datalogger that has an old operating system that does not support instruction P188 mentioned above.

Execution Time = 150 ms to 190 ms per Rep Please note that these instructions use base 4 addressing. See the table with Figure 5 to see the matching setting of the address switch on the SDM-IO16 that equates to any base 4 address.
In this example, the SDM-IO16 is used to control the temperature between 23°C and 28°C in each of five greenhouses. In each greenhouse the SDM-IO16 controls a heating unit, a refrigerating unit and an air mixing fan. Solid state relays might be used as the interface to these units.
SDM-IO16 16 Channel Input/Output Expansion Module Cooling unit: Activate when temperature >27.5°C. Deactivate when temperature <24.5°C. Mixing fan: Activate whenever the heating or cooling units are activated. Activate for 5 minutes out of every 15 minutes. The program assumes that the temperature measurements have been made, and that the average temperature for each greenhouse is computed and stored in input locations 1 to 5.

B.1 Introduction It is necessary to understand the general method of input measurements of the SDM-IO16 to be able to easily comprehend the limits of frequency and duty cycle resolution. The microprocessor in the module runs an internal task that reads the status of all 16 ports at a fixed frequency of 4096 Hz.
SDM-IO16 16 Channel Input/Output Expansion Module B.3 Resolution of Frequency Measurements The module measures frequency by counting the number of full signal cycles between requests for measurements by the datalogger and measuring the time between the start of the first and end of the last of these cycles. The resolution of a frequency measurement will be dependent on the number of pulses and the resolution of the internal timer (244 s).
Appendix B. General Principles of Pulse and Frequency Measurements B.5 Debounce Filtering The module is able to digitally filter input signals to prevent false counting of pulses or inaccurate measurement of frequency for signals sources that do not have "clean" digital signals. Such signals are often generated by mechanical switch closures where the contacts often bounce on changeover resulting in a signal that, for instance, goes low as the switch closes but then goes high for an instant as the contact bounces, before finally going low again when the switch...
