EasyRemoteIO IO Parameters

iR-ETN40R:

Parameter Definition Options
Life Guard Time If communication between the iR-ETN40R and a controller is severed for a period longer than the value configured within this parameter, a “Life Guard” event will be triggered and the IO modules will revert to a user defined error state. Disabled: 0ms
Enabled: ≥ 1ms
iBus Continue Run This parameter determines how the iR-ETN40R’s bus will behave in the event an IO module is disconnected. OFF: iBus stops when one of the modules is disconnected.

ON: iBus continues running when one of the modules is disconnected.
RunStop Pin If enabled, the RunStop Input Point will be used as a RunStop pin. The RunStop pin can be used to control device output from an external source. Disabled: 0

ON-Run: The outputs will execute normally if the RunStop Input Point is high. If input to the RunStop Input Point is low, the module will cease output.

OFF-Run: The outputs will execute normally if the RunStop Input Point is low. If input to the RunStop Input Point is high, the module will cease output.
RunStop Input Point Specifies the input point used to control RunStop behavior. The default input point is 0. Input# on Terminal I: 0~11
Input# on Terminal II:16~27
Input# on other Digital Input module:32~511
Mode Indicator This parameter determines the behavior of the LED indicators on the iR-ETN40R labeled Run and Err. Modbus TCP: See iR-ETN40R user manual for more information.

EtherNet IP: See iR-ETN40R user manual for more information.
Capture Feature Input Point This feature can be used to capture high-going pulses or low-going pulses that are of such short duration that they may not always be seen when the controller reads the digital inputs at the beginning of the scan cycle. Disabled: 0.

Error Value: The value within "Digital Output Error Value" will be used when a communication error occurs.

Keep Last Value: The last output value set within this channel will remain until communication is recovered.
Digital Output Error Value The output error value used when the “Digital Output Error Mode” is set to “Error Value”. Low~High

Analog IO:

Parameter Definition Options
Input Mode An analog input mode may be selected from the drop-down list that corresponds with this parameter. Applicable values depend on the module used.
Note: See iR-AI04-TR user manual for information pertaining to thermocouple and RTD input modes.
0. Close
1. ±10V
2. ±5V
3. 1-5V
4. ±20mA
5. 4-20mA
Input Scale Range Upper Limit The module will convert the current input such that the high limit of the selected “Input mode” will equate with this value.
(e.g., If the Input mode is ±10V and the current input is 10V, the register associated with this channel will display the value set within this parameter.)
-32768~32767
Input Scale Range Lower Limit The module will convert the current input such that the low limit of the selected “Input mode” will equate with this value.
(e.g., If the Input mode is ±10V and the current input is -10V, the register associated with this channel will display the value set within this parameter.)
-32768~32767
Input Filter Frame Size The Filter Frame Size can stabilize the signal by averaging sampled values. This parameter specifies the number of samples to average. Disable: 0
Enabled: 1~20
Conversion time The module requires sufficient time to convert input into engineering units that correspond with the upper a lower limit. This default conversion time per channel is 2ms. The total required conversion time is calculated by multiplying 2ms by the number of channels, for example, input from 4 channels will take 8ms to convert. In fast conversion mode, where only one channel is used, the conversion time can be reduced to 500µs. Setting a lower conversion rate can effectively filter noise in certain environments. 0. 2ms
1. 2ms
2. 5ms
3. 10ms
4. 15ms
5. 25ms
6. 60ms
7. 0.5ms (Fast Conversion Mode)
Detect Analog Input Channel When enabled, a channel fault will occur when the input exceeds the allowed range. In 1-5V or 4-20mA mode, a fault will occur when the voltage is 0v or current is 0mA. Enable~Disable
Output Mode An analog output mode may be selected from the drop-down list that corresponds with this parameter. 0. Close
1. ±10V
2. ±5V
3. 1-5V
4. ±20mA
5. 4-20mA
Analog Output Error Mode This parameter determines how the IO module will behave when communication between the iR-ETN and controller is severed for a period longer than the “Life Guard Time”. Error Value: The value within "Analog Output Error Value" will be used when a communication error occurs.

Keep Last Value: The last output value set within this channel will remain until communication is recovered.
Analog Output Error Value The output error value used when the “Analog Output Error Mode” is set to “Error Value”. -32768~32767
Output Scale Range Upper Limit The module will convert user input such that the high limit of the selected “Output mode” will equate with this value.
(e.g., If the Output mode is ±10V and the current output value is equal to the value within this register, the corresponding channel will output 10V.)
-32768~32767
Output Scale Range Lower Limit The module will convert user input such that the low limit of the selected “Output mode” will equate with this value.
(e.g., If the Output mode is ±10V and the current output value is equal to the value within this register, the corresponding channel will output -10V.)
-32768~32767
Output Update Time This parameter will allow the module to gradually increase or decrease output thereby serving as a “soft start”.
(e.g., If the update time is set to 200 and you configure the module to increase output by 4V the module will increase output gradually over 200 x 10ms = 2000ms, resulting in an increase of 2V per second.)
Disabled: 0
Enabled: 1~3200
Detect Analog Output Channel When enabled, a channel fault will occur when a voltage short circuit or open circuit is detected. Upon occurrence, the module will stop output to this channel. Enable~Disable
