Accessory Boards

In order to connect devices that are not 5V operated or require isolation, ELEXOL has pre-built

accessory boards available. All accessory boards are equipped with box headers matching those

on the Ether I/O 24 module and are supplied with 30cm long connecting cables. All external

connections to the input or output channels of the accessory boards are by screw terminals that

will accept cables 0.5 – 2 mm

Opto Input Board, 8 optically isolated input channels to accept signals from 3-24V AC or DC.

Each channel of the board is electrically isolated from all other channels and the I/O module

thereby preventing incoming signals from interfering with each other or damaging the I/O

module. The board has a box header matching the connector of the I/O module and an indicator

LED for each channel.

Relay Output Board, with both N/O and N/C contacts rated to 250V AC or DC at 5Amps. The

8 relays on the board can drive a multitude of devices. Each of the 8 relays on the board has a

matching LED to indicate its state.

Connector / LED Board, to provide for easy connection of larger wires to the Ether I/O 24

module or to provide a buffered visual indication of the states of all the signals on a port. The

Connector / LED Board can also be used simply as a mimic light board for a remote location or

for system diagnosis and debugging.

Switch / Push Button Board,

allowing user inputs to be mounted along side the Ether I/O 24

module or for diagnosis and debugging. The Switch / Push Button Board features 8 miniature

pushbutton switches and 8 slide switches, with each channel having an indicator LED to show

that the board is powered and that the switch or the button is activated.

50 Pin Connector Board, to allow connection of industry standard I/O racks with 50 pin

connectors, this board will adapt the three 10 pin box headers on the Ether I/O 24 module to a

single 50 pin header with industry standard pin configuration.

Please check our website for further details of other accessory boards that may be released from

time to time.
