MODEL GMDIO - GRAPHITE SERIES DIGITAL MODULE
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The Model GMDIO14 module is a digital I/O module designed for use with
the Graphite Series. 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.

SAFETY SUMMARY
All safety related regulations, local codes and instructions that appear in the
manual or on equipment must be observed to ensure personal safety and to
prevent damage to either the instrument or equipment connected to it. If
equipment is used in a manner not specified by the manufacturer, the protection
provided by the equipment may be impaired.
Do not use the module to directly command motors, valves, or other actuators
not equipped with safeguards. To do so can be potentially harmful to persons or
equipment in the event of a fault to the module.
CAUTION: Risk of Danger.
Read complete instructions prior to
installation and operation of the unit.
