Safety information Carefully and fully read this user guide before installation and retain it for future reference. Qualified personnel The product described in this manual must be operated only by personnel qualified for the specific task and installation environment, in accordance with all relevant documentation and safety instructions.
Safety instructions General safety instructions Protect the unit against moisture, dirt and any kind of damage during transport, storage and operation. Do not operate the unit outside the specified technical data. Never open the housing. If not otherwise specified, install in closed housing (e.g. distribution cabinet).
Introduction Iono Arduino combines the ease of use of the Arduino platform with multiple input and output interfaces; the result is a rugged, safe, reliable and easy to connect module, suited for installation both in industrial and residential environments. Iono Arduino ships without the Arduino board installed, so you can use your preferred Arduino board, as far as it is fully compatible with the Arduino 1.0 pinout and fits the Iono Arduino case.
Features The Iono Arduino modules key features are: ✓ 12÷24Vdc power supply ✓ compatible with 5.0V and 3.3V operating voltage Arduino boards with 1.0 pinout ✓ 4 multi-mode inputs: either to be used as digital or as 0÷10V or 0÷20mA analog signals ✓...
Device identification The device can be identified with the information provided in the rating and identification plate, permanently attached to the side of the case. EXAMPLE RATING AND IDENTIFICATION PLATE Power supply Iono Arduino can be powered with DC voltage only: ✓...
DI5 and DI6 are connected to the Arduino board through a protection network. If you need to bypass the protection network to use DI5 and DI6 as general-purpose input/output lines (e.g. for I2C, 1-Wire or Wiegand communication), you can move jumpers J4 (DI6) and J5 (DI5) to the BYP position.
Relay digital outputs Iono Arduino features 6 power relay outputs which can withstand high inrush currents thanks to the special contact built. These relays have bistable coils, which are powered only for the short time needed to move the contact from one position to the other one. This guarantees very low total current consumption and low power dissipation resulting in lower self-heating.
RS-485 JUMPERS POSITION Mapping The following table shows the mapping of the inputs and outputs of the Iono Arduino module into the related pins of the Arduino platform. Iono Arduino inputs and outputs Arduino pins DI1 – AV1 – AI1 DI2 –...
Working with 5.0V and 3.3V boards Iono Arduino is compatible with both 5.0V and 3.3V operating voltage Arduino boards. All digital I/O and the PWM-based analog output A01 work transparently with both 5.0V and 3.3V Arduino pins The 0-10V and 0-20mA analog inputs are translated to a voltage range between 0 and 3.3V to the analog pins of the Arduino boards.
Hardware Installation NOTICE Before opening the Iono Arduino case, disconnect all power sources and any connection to external devices. NOTICE Static electricity can damage the components in your system. To protect your system's components from static damage during the installation process, touch any of the unpainted metal surfaces on your computer's frame or wear an ESD wrist strap before handling internal components.

The turrets next to the pins should fit in the corresponding holes on your board. You may want to remove the turrets if they don’t fit your board. It is up to you to determine if the mechanical coupling between Iono Arduino and the Arduino board is appropriate for your application.
Iono Arduino Software Development Since Iono Arduino is just a super-sized I/O shield for a standard Arduino, you don’t need any specific library to work on it. Our libraries and examples, available with source code on GitHub, will provide you with some handy utilities to speed up your development, including functionalities to monitor the inputs (filtering out possible noise) and control the outputs, HTTP APIs, Modbus support and much more.

USB ADAPTER CONNECTOR AND RESET BUTTON Insert the USB Serial Adapter as shown below, with the components side facing down. SERIAL ADAPTER CONNECTED TO THE ARDUINO BOARD Connect the adapter to a PC and perform the programming as usual. This operation does not require the Iono Arduino module to be connected to a power supply.
