2 Device Overview

This User’s Guide describes how to install, configure, and use the MoviTHERM MIO Intelligent I/O
device. For detailed device specifications, refer to the specifications section at the end of this document.

The MoviTHERM MIO Intelligent I/O device provides TCP/IP connectivity for up to 7 cameras over
100Base-T Ethernet connections. Each unit provides up to 8 channels of isolated, loop-powered analog
(4-20mA) outputs, and up to 8 solid state (24VDC) relay outputs.

3 Unpacking

The MoviTHERM MIO Intelligent I/O device or module ships in a custom printed cardboard box, as
shown in the photo below.

After removing the device from the packaging, inspect for damage that may have occurred
during shipping. Damaged devices should not be put into service. Contact your distributor
and/or MoviTHERM immediately if the device appears damaged in any way. If the damages
occurred during shipping, please file a claim with your shipping company.

4 Connecting the MIO I/O Module

Inspect the device to locate the various ports and connectors. (See Figure 1.)

Figure 1: MIO Device Connections

The device is powered using a 24VDC power supply. Under full load conditions, the unit draws about

0.3A (7W). This does not count the current needed to supply the digital outputs. The digital outputs can
source 0.5A each, but shall not exceed 1.5A total for all outputs. A power supply does not come included
with the MIO module. However, it is available as an accessory. The provided power source or supply
shall be regulated and stabilized to assure reliable performance.

The power terminals shown in Figure 1 must be connected to an industrial 24VDC power supply. The
unit will also work with a 12VDC supply. Its input voltage needs to be between 10VDC and 30VDC.
Please connect the positive lead to the screw terminal marked “V+” and the negative or ground lead to
the terminal marked “V- “. Please make sure not to reverse the polarity. The unit has a reverse polarity
protection built in. However, the unit will not turn on.

Connect the Ethernet RJ-45 port to the camera network or an Ethernet switch. The camera network
typically includes 1 to 7 FLIR cameras connected to a single Ethernet Switch. You may also connect a PC
or laptop to the Ethernet switch for configuration of the cameras and the MIO module.

Connect the 4-20mA analog outputs to any device with 4-20mA signal inputs, such as industrial PLCs, 4­20mA data loggers, 4-20mA signal monitoring/alarm devices, etc. Keep in mind that from the
perspective of the MoviTHERM MIO I/O module, these are outputs. The 4 to 20mA outputs are active, or
loop powered. This indicates that they will provide a loop voltage to the connected device. No additional
power source is necessary or should be added. Make sure to observe the connected polarity of the 4 to
20mA device.

Connect the digital outputs to discrete signal inputs on alarms, warning lamps, auto-dialers, PLCs, etc.

For more details on how to connect devices, please go to Section 7.1 – I/O Connections.

Figure 2 illustrates a typical installation scenario.

6 System Installation and Set-up

The MoviTHERM MIO-A310-7 Intelligent I/O modules are packaged in an anodized aluminum enclosure.
This enclosure is intended to protect the internal electronics only from larger objects and general
handling. The MIO I/O module is intended to be mounted inside an existing electrical cabinet or other
protective enclosure.

The MIO I/O Module is rated NEMA1 / IP20

Enclosures constructed for indoor use to provide a degree of protection to personnel against incidental
contact with the enclosed equipment and to provide a degree of protection against falling dirt.
Protected against solid foreign objects of 12mm in diameter and greater. No protection against water.

The MIO I/O module is not protected against ingress of dust, conductive particles, moisture
or liquid splashing.

For installations in dirty, dusty, hot, wet or otherwise harsh or hazardous areas, provisions
have to be made to adequately protect the MIO I/O module.

Please do not stick any tools or metal objects inside the MIO module. This may create an
electrical shortcut and permanently damage the unit. This will also void the warranty.

For indoor industrial or outdoor environments, we recommend placing the MIO I/O module at least
inside an electrical enclosure rated NEMA4 or NEMA4x. No cooling is required, as long as the inside
temperature of the protective enclosure will not exceed the max allowable operating temperature of
the MIO module.

To ensure proper operation and continuing reliability, all set-up and configuration tasks should be
completed by qualified engineers or service technicians. The information in this manual provides some
direction, but should not be considered a substitute for extensive experience.

If you are unsure how to proceed, contact your distributor or MoviTHERM technical
support for further directions under [e-mail]. Please include the serial
number of your MoviTHERM MIO.

Or visit the MoviTHERM Website www.movitherm.com and use the contact methods

provided there.

6.1 Configuration Procedure

After the electrical connections have been made and verified, it is time to configure the cameras and the
MoviTHERM MIO device. The FLIR A310 cameras are configured using FLIR software and utilities (FLIR IP

Config, and FLIR IR Monitor). The MIO device is configured using the browser-based MoviTHERM MIO
Configuration Utility, as discussed later in the manual.

Configuring the system is a four-step process:

1) Set the cameras to a fixed IP addresses using the FLIR IP Config application.

2) Configure the Regions of Interest or “ROIs” in each camera using the FLIR IR Monitor Software

Package

3) Define the thresholds and action criteria for each ROI using the browser-based MoviTHERM

MIO Configuration Utility.

4) Configure the MIO board response using the MoviTHERM MIO Configuration Utility.

Steps 3 & 4 cannot be completed until Steps 1 and 2 are complete. Step 1 requires the

FLIR IP Config software utility bundled with the camera. Step 2 requires the FLIR IR
Monitor software application also bundled with the camera. Steps 3 & 4 use a standard

web browser interface to access the MoviTHERM MIO Configuration Utility. Consult the
appropriate FLIR camera user manual for details on how to setup the camera.

6.1.1 IP Configuration

It is important to understand that although the MIO device and the cameras share a single Ethernet
connection, the cameras and the MIO device must all have separate and unique TCP/IP addresses. The
cameras must be configured to use static IP addresses. The FLIR IP Config utility software is used to set
the camera IP addresses. The MoviTHERM MIO Configuration Utility will be used to set up the IP
address on the MIO device (as discussed in the next chapter).

After the camera IP addresses have been assigned, you will be ready to define the Regions of Interest
that will be used by the MIO device. Refer to the FLIR IR Monitor User Manual for detailed information
about defining the camera regions of interest for FLIR-A310 camera models. You must complete the
Region of Interest configuration before moving on to configure the MoviTHERM MIO device.

IP SUBNET CONFIGURATION - IMPORTANT NOTE:

The cameras and the MIO device must all be assigned unique IP addresses. However, in order
to share the same Ethernet cable connection, all of the IP addresses must reside within the
same subnet. This is most easily accomplished by ensuring that the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd IP address
fields are common for all devices, while the 4th field is unique for each device.

For example, the default IP address for the MIO device is defined as follows:

MIO IP address: 192.168.1.2

Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0

If this default is left unchanged, suitable camera IP addresses might be:

Camera IP address 1: 192.168.1.3

Camera IP address 2: 192.168.1.4

Camera IP address 3: 192.168.1.89 (etc.)

If the MIO device IP is modified (as outlined later in this document), the camera IP address may
need to be updated accordingly.
