3.3 Connecting the Model 1460 I/O Expansion Module

Like the 1350 Breakout Module and the Model 1450 I/O Expansion Module, the optional

Model 1460 I/O Expansion Module (P/N 800-5815-1) provides convenient access to the

sensor’s power, serial communications and discrete I/O lines. In addition to the two discrete

outputs, acquisition trigger and serial transmit/receive that are standard on the sensor, the

I/O Expansion module provides the following:

• 8 discrete outputs

• 8 discrete inputs

• RS-232 hardware handshaking

• Light Control

• Plug-in connections for I/O opto-isolator modules

To Connect a 1460 I/O Expansion Module to the In-Sight Sensor:

1. Verify the 24VDC power supply being used is switched off.

2. Connect the power and ground wires from remote I/O devices to terminals on the

1460 I/O Expansion Module (Figure 3-6).

Figure 3-6: Connecting I/O Wires

a. Use a flat-head screwdriver to loosen the screw terminals.

b. Insert wire leads from remote I/O devices into the appropriate positions on the terminal

block.

c. Tighten the screw terminals with the screwdriver to secure the wire leads in the terminal

block.

NOTE:

The 1460 I/O Expansion Module outputs labeled HSOUT 0 and HSOUT 1 correspond to the

sensor’s built-in outputs. These signals pass through the micro-controller on the 1460 I/O

Expansion Module without processing. In contrast, the general-purpose outputs labeled

OUT 0 through OUT 7 are lower speed because the micro-controller processes these signals

before they are transmitted to remote devices.
