2 I/O MODULE GENERAL DESCRIPTION
I/O Module is part of the Epec CAN Module Family. I/O Module has large amount of digital and
analog inputs and digital outputs. Digital outputs can be configured to be used as digital inputs
and vice versa. Module is used in a CAN control module system as a multifunction controller
with different kinds of sensors and actuators, such as proportional valves, servo motors, and
electro-hydraulic components. This PLCopen programmable (with CoDeSys tool) module can
also be used as an independent controller because of digital and analog I/O capabilities. I/O
Module has two CAN-busses.

automatically after 300 ms software deadlock.
2.1 Programming Environment
This product can be programmed with either CoDeSys 2.1 or CoDeSys 2.3 depending on the
module’s firmware. If the firmware’s runtime is older than 2.1x, the programming environment is
CoDeSys 2.1 and if the runtime is 2.3.x or newer the programming environment is CoDeSys
2.3.
The runtime version can be checked from index with a CANopen tool, for example with
CANmoon.
