ECM DIO8 eBUS Digital I/O Control Module • Setup Guide
The Extron ECM DIO8 is a compact digital I/O module for Extron eBUS
an IPCP Pro control processor and provides an interface with a variety of I/O devices, including sensors, and contact closure
buttons. The ECM DIO8 provides eight digital I/O ports that can be configured or programmed by Extron software. There is also a
24 VDC (100 mA maximum) output to provide power to a sensor.
The module connects to the Extron IPCP Pro control processor or other eBUS devices using a single cable that carries both
power and communication. Extron recommends the STP20-2 or STP20P-2 cable.
The ECM DIO8 mounts inside a US 1-gang, Flex55, EU, or MK enclosure. It can also be mounted on any flat surface, using the
provided dual-lock fastener.

A
BUS ID DIP Switches — Up to eight eBUS devices can be connected to one control processor. Each eBUS device
connected to the same IPCP Pro control processor must have a unique BUS ID, which is set using BUS ID DIP switches (see
Step 2 — BUS ID setup
B
Status LED — The ECM DIO8 has a three-color LED (red, amber, and green) that provides diagnostic information about the
connection, communication, and power status of the module (see
page 12).
C
eBUS Port — This four-pole captive screw connector provides power to the ECM DIO8 and also provides communication
between the ECM DIO8 and a control processor and other eBUS devices.
D
Voltage Output — This two-pole captive screw connector can provide 24 VDC to a sensor (100 mA maximum output
current).
E
Digital I/O Ports — This 10-pole captive screw connector provides an interface for up to eight digital I/O devices, with two
ground connections.
