Chapter I Introduction

1.1. Product Introduction

ZIO series expansion modules use CAN bus to connect to controllers, when IO and
other resources are not enough, an expansion module can be used to expand more
resources. And controller can link with multiple ZIO series expansion modules or
ZMIO310-CAN series expansion modules through CAN bus at the same time, and CAN
expansion modules are distinguished through DIP. The resources of expansion module
can be accessed by IO No. and axis No. after mapping controller program.

1.2. Function Features

◆ Digital expansion: there are 16 inputs and 16 outputs, 32 inputs and 32 outputs, 64
inputs and 64 outputs, etc., and there are several valid models, such as, PCB type,
module type or modular cover type.
◆ Analog expansion: 8 inputs and 2 outputs, resolution is 12-bit, 0-10V.
Axes expansion: one expansion module can expand 2 pulse axes at most.
◆
Some models are with IO state indication lights, which are convenient to check IO
◆
status.
