(male) and a row of 26 WAGO connectors, each for an individual line. Connection to the EX213 should be made using a 37-way cable (Order code 9101 4890) from the EX233 to SK4 on the EX213. Each output has either a direct ‘logic’ connection (SK2), or a two row block of WAGO connectors (SK7 and SK8) if the board is configured for relay output. -
Page 13: Ex230 Digital Input Panel
The EX230 is a 24 line digital input card with jumper selectable options for nominal 5 or 24 volt input operation with or without opto-isolation on the inputs. It is part of the Amplicon 200 Series, and is designed for use in conjunction with the EX233 and our 200 Series range of Digital I/O and Counter Timer products. -
Page 14: Connections
There is also a ‘shared bus’ feature, which allows the user to make either a signal or a power connection to SK3 on the EX233 and it will be brought out on SK4 of the EX230. Both of the EX230s sister boards the EX213 and EX221 also have this feature, see Section 7.32 for further details. Page... -

TTL outputs. The inputs can be configured for a nominal 5 or 24 volt input operation with or without opto-isolation on the inputs, or a volt free contact input. It is part of the Amplicon 200 Series, and is designed for use in conjunction with the EX233 and our 200 Series range of Digital I/O and Counter Timer products. -
Page 16: The Inputs
EX213, 221, 230 & 233 5.6 The Inputs The EX221 has 16 lines digital input card with jumper selectable options for nominal 5 or 24 volt input operation with or without opto-isolation on the inputs. Opto-isolation To select opto-isolation on the EX221s inputs set J43 to J58 to OPTO-ISOLATED INPUT MODE as displayed on the silk-screen. -
Page 17: Power
EX213, 221, 230 & 233 5.7 Power The EX221 must be powered by an external 24V power supply, such as a DR-4524 (Order Code 9604 8563). External power should be connected per channel to the EX221 via SK6, which is clearly labelled as to the GND and VCC connections. - Page 18 EX213, 221, 230 & 233 HI/LOW 470R To EX233 Volt Free Amplicon DIO Card Opto isolated Input B0 BGND To 0v on next channel Input B0 of EX221 card Figure 5.0 There is also a ‘shared bus’ feature, which allows the user to make either a signal or a power connection to SK3 on the EX233 and it will be brought out on SK5 of the EX221., see Section 7.3.2 for...
