Flex I/O Ports

The IPL T SFI244 has four Flex I/O ports that can be configured as digital inputs, digital outputs, or analog inputs.

When configured as digital inputs, the Flex I/O ports can connect to switches and sensors.

When configured as digital outputs, the Flex I/O ports can drive devices that accept a TTL input signal.

When configured as analog inputs, these Flex I/O ports can receive analog voltages for use with photo sensors, level feedback, and other devices. See the diagram below for Flex I/O port wiring.

NOTE:	Be sure to wire appropriately based on the configuration
	of the port.

Configuring for Network Communication

To function together, both the PC and the IPL T controller must be configured correctly. The PC must be network-capable with the proper protocols and the IPL T controller must be set up so that it can be connected to a LAN or other network.

When you power on the IPL T controller for the first time, there are several ways to set up the IP address:

zzUse the Global Configurator software — Refer to the Global Configurator Help file.

zzUse the ARP (Address Resolution Protocol) — See the instructions that follow.

zzUse a Web browser — Refer to the IPL T Series User Guide,

IPL T SFI244 User Guide, or IPL T CR48 User Guide, depending on the controller.

zzUse SIS (Simple Instruction Set™) commands via Telnet — Refer to the IPL T Series User Guide, IPL T SFI244 User Guide, or

IPL T CR48 User Guide, depending on the controller.

The first time you connect a PC to an IPL T controller via IP, you may need to temporarily change the IP settings of the PC in order to communicate with the controller. That process is described in the IPL T Series User Guide, IPL T SFI244 User Guide, and IPL T CR48 User Guide.
