  • Page 3 Figure 2— Digital Input connection to Dry Contact Output Figure 3—Digital Input wiring to Sinking Wet Contact Output (NPN) Figure 4—Digital Input wiring to Sourcing Wet Contact Output (PNP) Up to six relay outputs can be connected to AC or DC loads (see specifications section). The I/O Module does not provide power to the loads. The loads being driven must supply their own power. Figure 5 shows the proper connection of a relay output to a power source and load.

  • Page 4: Initial Configuration

    IMPORTANT: To prevent premature failure of the relay contacts it is strongly recommended to use a fuse and transient voltage suppressor (e.g. varistor, TVS diode). See Figure 5 for details. Preparation Before starting the configuration process find the static IP address of the 1218C Electronic Tank Gauge and record this address below as it will be used during the configuration process. If the 1218C Console is using DHCP you will need to configure it with a static IP address before continuing. Refer to ‘Configuring Your 1218C’ of the ‘Steps to Configure the 1218C’ section in the ‘1218C Electronic Tank Gauge IOM’ for details on configuring a static IP address. Next you will need to obtain a static IP address for the I/O Module. Record this IP address below for reference throughout the configuration process.

If no devices were found verify the E1214-T lights for ‘Power’, ‘Ready’, and ‘Port’ are illuminated/flashing. See the “ioLogik E1200 Series User’s Manual” for help troubleshooting. b. Under ‘General Settings’ set the ‘Server Name’ and ‘Server Location’ and click ‘Submit’ to save the changes. These fields will help identify this device from other devices on the network.
