Device identification
The device can be identified with the information provided in the rating and identification
plate, permanently attached to the side of the case.
EXAMPLE RATING AND IDENTIFICATION PLATE
Power supply
Iono Arduino can be powered with DC voltage only:
✓DC: nominal voltage in the range 12V to 24V (MIN=11Vdc, MAX=30Vdc)
Respect the correct polarity shown in the schematic diagram (+ -). The power supply
circuit implements reverse polarity protection using an auto resetting fuse and surge
protection up to ±500V/2ohms 1.2/50μs.
Multi-mode inputs
Iono Arduino features 4 multi-mode inputs (1, 2, 3, 4). Depending on terminal blocks
wiring, digital (ON-OFF), analog 0÷10V or analog 0÷20mA signals can be applied.
Analog mode
When using analog inputs, 0÷10V and 0÷20mA are converted to 0÷3.3V levels in order to
be compatible with the Arduino platform input pins. Both active and passive 0÷20mA (or
4÷20mA) transmitters can be connected, using the C+ terminal as power supply; the
0÷20mA transmitter shown in the schematic here below is a 2-wire passive type.
Digital mode
In digital mode, an external potential free contact can be connected between terminals C+
and DI1-DI4; otherwise, the DIx terminal can be connected to an external voltage signal (in
the range 0÷40V) referred to the GND of the Iono Arduino module. Refer to the Technical
specifications table for the voltage thresholds for high and low states.
DI5 and DI6 digital inputs
An external potential free contact can be connected between terminals C+ and DI5-DI6;
otherwise, the DIx terminal can be connected to an external voltage signal (in the range
0÷40V) referred to the GND of the Iono Arduino module. Refer to the Technical
specifications table for the voltage thresholds for high and low states.
