## Overview

The Digital I/O Module v2, CE-MD-001-0000__2, extends MachineMotion’s functionality with 4 (NPN or PNP) inputs and 4 PNP outputs. This plug-and-play module only requires a single connection to the MachineMotion controller. Compatible modules, such as the Power Switch (CE-MD-005-0000) & additional Digital I/O Module v2 modules can also be daisy chained to each other, making it possible to connect up to sixteen modules per MachineMotion controller.

*For details on Vention’s Digital IO Module V1, refer to the ‘Documentation for Previous Product Versions’ section at the bottom of this page.*

## Features

- 4 Inputs compatible with NPN and PNP sensors
- 4 PNP Outputs
- Connects (daisy chain) with compatible modules
- Configurable address
- Plug-and-play access from the Control Center, MachineLogic, and Python API

## Programming Options

Program the Digital I/O Module v2 using [MachineLogic] or the [Python API]. It can also be accessed from the Control Center.

## Technical Specifications

### General Specifications

| **Part Number** | CE-MD-001-0000__2 |
| --- | --- |
| **Certifications** | - EN 61000-6-2 (EMC Directive) - EN 55011:2016 (EMC Directive) - EN 63000:2016 (RoHS Directive) |
| **Weight** | 1.5 kg |
| **Dimensions** | 60 x 88 x 150 mm |
| **Material** | - Bottom enclosure: ABS - Top enclosure: Aluminum |
| **Operating Temperature** | 0 to 40°C |
| **Included in the Box** | - 1x Digital I/O Module v2 (CE-MD-001-0001__2) - 1x Control Device Extension Cable, 5m (CE-CA-022-5000) - 1x Module Termination Jumper (CE-JP-001-0001) - 2x M8 Drop-in Spring Loaded T-Nut (HW-FN-002-0001) - 2x M8 x 18mm Screw (HW-FN-003-0018) |

### Performance and Other Specifications

| **Specification** | **Value** |
| --- | --- |
| Input supply voltage | 24VDC nominal |
| Digital input impedance | 10kΩ pull-up to 24V and 10kΩ pull-down to 0V |
| Digital input active NPN voltage range (logical ‘1’) | Below 6V |
| Digital input active PNP voltage range (logicial ‘1’) | Above 18V |
| Digital input inactive voltage range (logical ‘0’) | Between 6V and 18V |
| Digital input - minimum recommended sensor output impedance | NPN: 10kΩ to 24V PNP: 10kΩ to 0V |
| Digital output maximum current | 70mA each |
| Maximum current for IN/OUT ports 24VDC pins | 2A shared |
| Latency (with 2 modules connected to the MachineMotion controller) | 125ms max. |

Latency has been obtained by connecting a digital output port to a digital input port, and by measuring the delay between requesting the change of output state and reading the change of input state.
