Embodiment Construction

[0010] In one embodiment, a connector system for an I / O module is provided, the system including a circuit that supports placing a switch on an I / O module by controlling a position of switches as described in detail below At least one point on the module is configured as any one of a discrete input or output, an analog input or output, power, and ground. The system allows a user to use a standard cable to connect the I / O module to multiple machine interfaces, even if the machine interfaces contain different pin configurations. More particularly, and in one embodiment, each pin in an I / O module I / O connector is configurable to allow the I / O module requirements to be matched with the machine interface requirements. Additionally, at least one pin in the I / O connector can be configured as a discrete input or output, an analog input or output, power, and ground.

Abstract

A control circuit 110 for configuring at least one I / O module connector pin 112 is provided. The circuit includes at least one port controlling a configuration of the at least one pin.

Description

technical field [0001] This invention relates generally to I / O modules, and more particularly to a method and system for configuring I / O points in an I / O module. Background technique [0002] Input / Output (I / O) modules are used to connect devices such as a Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) to a machine interface so that the PLC can control the machine. Typically, when users install I / O modules, they individually wire each point being controlled to a specific I / O point. There is an expense associated with handling this wiring, and the wiring creates multiple opportunities for error and adds to the overall installation cost. Since each point in the module is individually wired to connect the I / O module to the machine interface, a custom cable for that particular wired I / O module is used. Therefore, in order to connect different machine interfaces to the same I / O module, multiple custom cable glands are used. These custom cables are an additional expense in operating the m...
