GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The Model GMDIO14 module is a digital I/O module designed
for use with the Graphite products. This module offers eight
inputs and six outputs that can be used to monitor contact or
sensor inputs and actuate relays, solenoids, PLC inputs, etc.
The inputs accept standard DC inputs or contact closures, and
are configured for Sink/Source signals via external switches.
Additionally, each input has a switch selectable input filter that
can be used to prevent contact bounce. Each input may also be
software configured as a high-active or low-active input.
The module is available with relay or NFET outputs that are
capable of switching up to one amp each (NFET DC only). For
applications requiring large loads to be controlled, several DIN rail
mount relays are available.
The module connects and communicates via proprietary USB
connection to the various Graphite host devices. The Graphite host
devices, equipped with serial ports as well as an Ethernet port(s),
allows the system to share data with PCs, PLCs, and SCADA
systems. The maximum number of modules varies for each
Graphite device, see specific models for details.

Once programmed, the module will continue to operate/control
independent of the Graphite host device as long as power is
applied. Remove power from the host device before installing or
replacing any modules.
Configuration
The Graphite is configured with Windows
software. The software is an easy to use, graphical interface which
provides a means of configuration and commissioning of new
systems, as well as routine module re-calibration.
