Digital I/O expansion boards increase the number of I/O points. These boards connect to the controller via a plug-in cable. Several expansion boards can be daisy chained, up to a maximum of 32 outputs and 32 inputs (or 32 bidirectional I/O points). When you connect expansion boards the controller detects them automatically and the programming software adjusts itself. There is no software configuration required.

These boards are compatible with the CC18, MMi203A, MS121 and SL100 controllers

XBIO16 MBIO16 FP16 XIRO16 HIO16
This board gives you 16 bidirectional I/O points that can each be used as in input or an output. Similar to XBIO, but with outputs rated at up to 2A. 16 bidirectional I/O points that can each be used as in input or an output. Add 8 inputs and 8 outputs. Inputs are NPN/PNP selectable. Outputs sink up to 400mA. 8 5A/240V relays and 8 digital inputs, this is the ideal expansion board where medium duty relay outputs are required. Eight relays each rated 20A at 240V with an 80A inrush rating. Alternatively they are UL rated for 1HP. The board also has eight opto-isolated inputs capable of working at 24V through 240V AC or DC.

An NPN input is 'ON' when the input pin is connected to circuit common either by a switch (or piece of wire) or by an industrial NPN sensor.

All inputs on all SPLat controllers have inbuilt contact debounce of 8-16mS. That means in most cases you can just hook them up to a switch or sensor and not have to worry about contact bounce. There are also non-debounced input instructions and latched input modes that will capture an OFF to ON transition. It is also possible to read 8 inputs at a time across any 8 contiguous inputs.
