Verify connection
It is possible to verify that the connection to the I/O extension box can be established by
clicking the Verify connection button. The SOPAS Single Device application will then try to connect
to the I/O extension box, and a message will be displayed informing if the I/O extension box
was found.
Note
It is possible to configure the Inspector for use with the I/O extension box even when the I/O
extension box is not available. As soon as the Inspector detects the I/O extension box on the
network, it will connect to it and start using it as configured.
2.3.1 Enabling the I/O extension box
The use of the inputs and outputs on the I/O extension box is enabled on the Digital I/O tab
of the Interface and I/O Settings dialog from the InspectorPIM60 menu.
2.4 Input and output connections
When delivered, the I/O extension box contains 4 digital inputs and 8 digital outputs. The
digital outputs can be expanded to 16, and the digital inputs of the Inspector PIM60 can be
extended to 5.
Please refer to the manual delivered with the I/O extension box for details on how to connect
the power supply to the box, and where to find the digital inputs and outputs.
