OVERVIEW
This card provides an easy way to connect your inputs and outputs from your port using a LPH26pin Ribbon Cable or parallel port. Provides terminals for connections and conditions signals for use in CNC applications; this version can be easily mounted on control boxes using DIN rails and can also accommodate ribbon cables or DB25 connectors.
FEATURES
- Terminal Block for all I/So.
- Buffered outputs.
- Open collector Outputs Pins opt isolated 1, 14, 16, 17.
- Compatibility with several Motion Controllers and Mother Board. C76, M16D, UC300ETH-5LPT, C92, and ESS expansion board.
- Input pins 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 15.
- Terminal Block input with close by ground or +5vdc connections, COM and outputs with + 24vdc and ground
- Screw-On connections for all terminals. You only have to screw-on the wires to make all your connections.
- Status LEDs for enable.
- Fully opt isolated Inputs and Outputs.
- External Enable Pin
- Din rail mountable. NEW.
- Pluggable Screw-On Terminals. NEW.

BOARD DESCRIPTION
REQUIREMENTS
Power Requirements
Regulated +5VDC which can be supplied through pin 26. +12 or 24VDC are
required to power the Open Collector Outputs and opt isolated Inputs.
Note. The +5vdc can be supplied through pin 26 on the IDC26. If supplying
+5vdc through the IDC26, do not apply +5vdc externally as it will damage the
board.
WARNING
Check the polarity and voltage of the external power source and connect the
5VDC and GND. Overvoltage or reverse-polarity power applied to these terminals
can cause damage to the board, and/or the power source.
POWER TERMINAL
To preserve optoisolation two independent power sources should be used.
A +5vdc to power the logic and optos that interact with the controller. Since
these are isolated, they can come from a USB cable or pin 26 on the IDC26
connector. The +12/24vdc at 200mA will power the Open Collector Outputs and
Inputs.
Note. The +5vdc can be supplied through pin 26 on the IDC26. If supplying
+5vdc through the IDC26, do not apply +5vdc externally as it will damage the
board.
WARNING: This board uses pins 2-9 as inputs. It must be connected to a controller that uses pins 2-9 as inputs. If using the Ethernet Smooth Stepper, make sure to configure it to use pins 2-9 as inputs before wiring it.
Enable pin.
The card must be provided with a 24VDC signal to enable operation. This feature has been added to externally control the status of the outputs. An external switch or a Safety Charge Pump can be added to provide the enabling signal. If this function is not required, a jumper can be placed between 24VDC and the EN terminal.
If using it with the C76 or M16D using an IDC26 to IDC26 ribbon cable, you can leave a jumper on the EN terminal and allow the motherboard to control the enable. The C79 will be enabled when the motherboard is enabled. This is done through pin 18 of the IDC26 connector.

CONFIGURATION JUMPERS
Connecting Switches Using the COM = GND
There is a jumper that allows you to select +12/24VDC or GND for the COM pins.
While this board supports input +24VDC signals, different kind of sensors,
switches using different voltages can be connected using the diagrams that
follow:
Note. This board has two possible inputs banks, (pins: 10, 11, 12, 13, and 15 or 2-9) and (dedicated outputs: pins 1, 14, 16, and 17), and all the inputs of the same bank have the same configuration. The below wiring diagrams are an example, any input can be used for the connections.
