I/O Solutions

ION meters offer you a range of onboard I/O. For expanded I/O applications, you can use Grayhill products (see the Grayhill OpenDAC and ION Technology technical note for further information). Configuring onboard and expanded I/O is the same with ION software.

Every ION meter has a set of software modules that control its analog and digital onboard I/O ports. There is one ION software module that corresponds to each hardware input or output port, for example, one Digital Input software module corresponds to one hardware input port.

Onboard I/O requires minimal setup with Designer software. The I/O Expander for the ION 8000 Series meters and expansion boards for the ION 7700, ION 7300 Series, ION 7500, and ION 7600 require similar setup to the onboard I/O with Designer software.

Refer to your meter User’s Guide or technical documentation, or the online

ION Programmer’s Reference for complete details on how to link and configure these

ION modules using Designer software.
