This is very important where property loss or human life is involved. It is important that you perform satisfactory overall system design and it is agreed between you and Acromag, that this is your responsibility.
16 digital inputs and/or outputs controlled/monitored via a 10/100Mbps Ethernet interface using the Modbus TCP/IP application protocol. Outputs are open-drain, switch up to 32V, and sink up Acromag, Inc. Tel: 248-295-0880 - 4 - - 4 - http://www.acromag.com...
250mA each. Inputs are TTL and accept up to 32V. The unit is conveniently setup and configured for network operation via a USB connection to a host personal computer running Acromag configuration software. The unit also supports i2o network messaging which can link discrete inputs of one unit to outputs of another.
I/O wiring, adequate wire insulation should be used and proper wiring practices followed. As a rule, I/O wires are normally separated from power and network wiring for safety, as well as for low noise pickup. Acromag, Inc. Tel: 248-295-0880 - 6 - - 6 - http://www.acromag.com...

Important – End Stops: If this module uses the optionally powered (or redundantly powered) via the DIN rail bus for hazardous location installations (Class I, Division 2 or ATEX Zone 2) it must use two end stops (Acromag 1027-222) to secure the terminal block and module (not shown).
USB energy levels could ignite explosive gases or particles in the air. • USB Signal Isolation is Recommended - You may use Acromag model USB- ISOLATOR to isolate your USB port, or you can optionally use another USB signal isolator that supports USB Full Speed operation (12Mbps).
I/O without also connecting I/O Excitation, as the I/O channels each have 10KΩ pull-ups to the excitation rail. Likewise, failure to connect excitation would allow channels to pull each other via their pull-up resistors. Acromag, Inc. Tel: 248-295-0880 - 10 - - 10 - http://www.acromag.com...

TCP/IP Device/Communication Setup After executing the Acromag Configuration software for this model, the screen shown below will appear, if you have not already connected to your module via USB (note Device Select fields are blank under these conditions). Connect your PC to the unit via USB and its model-serial information will appear in the Device field as shown in the screen on the next page.
