ioLogik 4000 Hardware Installation The NA-4020/21 RS-485, RS-232 Network Adapter has 5 LED indicators, as described in the following table. LED Name LED Color LED Function No power. Green Steady On: Operating condition normal. Red/Green Toggling: Modbus error (e.g., watch dog timer error) Steady On: EEPROM checksum error.
When to Use the Field Power Distributor Most of the field power DIO/AIO modules for the ioLogik 4000 series are 24 VDC. If you need to connect 48 VDC or 110 VAC, 230 VAC digital input or output modules, you must use the Field Power Distributor to isolate different field powers within a single ioLogik 4000 system.
ioLogik 4000 Hardware Installation When to Use the Potential Distributor Three types of Potential Distributor module provide extra wiring points, such as shielding ground, field power 0V, and field power 24V. For example, the 8-channel digital input (sink type) module itself does not have a 24V wiring point. You may add a 24V Potential Distributor for easy wiring.
