.
The ME-63Xtend series can be connected with many multi-I/O
and digital-I/O boards using appropriate connection cables. The
I/O-board requires at least two 8-bit TTL input resp. output ports.
For the following boards preconfigured cables are available:

ME-630 series
ME-4600 series
ME-6000 series
Note: A detailed description of the connection options can be found in chapter
2.6 on page 30. Many other multi-I/O and digital-I/O boards with appropriate
TTL ports can be connected by special cables!

Attention : Make sure that no contact with voltage carrying parts
can happen by the wiring of the board. The external connections
to the board should only be made or removed in a powered
down state.
Look for proper connection of the cable. It must join the Sub-D
jack completly and must be fixed with the both screws. Otherwise a proper operation of the board can not be guaranteed!

2.1ME-631
The ME-631 is an external relay board with 16 change-over
relays (form C). The relays can switch up to 30 VDC/6 A or
240 VAC/6 A (specifications see page 37). To drive the relays a
buffer circuit is inserted. For status control one LED per channel
is assembled. It is connected in parallel to the relay coil. Depending on the I/O-board further signals are feed-through to the 25pin D-Sub female connector ST2 (see table 3).
For relay control the following assignment is valid:

2.1.2Protection Circuit
On the ME-631 electro-mechanical power relays are used. They
can switch currents up to 6 A. During switching the relays induced voltages and high transient currents occur. Therefore the use
of a protection circuit for the contacts is urgently needed. To
guarantee the efficiency of the protection circuit the distance
should not exceed more than 20 cm.
The following diagram shows a typical circuitry that could be
used. The values of the components used depend on the load
and the relay properties. The condensator C suppresses the discharge when contact opens and the resistor R limits the current
when switching the next time. The circuitry can be used for DC
and AC operation. The ME-631 offers a make contact as well as
a break contact. Therefore the protection circuit must be provided for every contact switching a considerable load.

2.2ME-632
The ME-632 is an external extension board with 16 opto-isolated digital input channels. The voltage high-level can be in the
range of 2.5…60V (specifications see page 39). For each channel
the positive and negative input is connected with the clamp. The
4 channels of a clamp are combined in a group. For status control
one LED per channel is assembled after the input buffer. Depending on the I/O-board further signals are feed-through to the 25pin D-Sub female connector ST2 (see table 5).

2.2.2Jumper Settings
By jumper a common reference can be made between the involved channels of a group (see diagram 6).
The input channels can be refered alternatively to a positive
reference voltage or to a common ground. For every channel,
which should be refered to a positive reference, the corresponding jumper JPxa must be set. For every channel, which should
be refered to ground, the corresponding jumper JPxb must be set.
For example: if the jumpers JP1a and JP3a are set you can connect the positive reference of group KL1 to the clamps KL1.1 or
KL1.5.
Please note, out of each pair of jumpers only one jumper (e. g.
JP1a, JP1b) may be set!

2.4.2Jumper Settings
By jumper a common reference can be made between the involved channels of a group (see diagram 13).
For the output channels a common ground can be defined for
each group (KL1 resp. KL2). For every channel, which should be
refered to it, the corresponding jumper JPx must be set. By the
clamps KL1.1 resp. KL2.1 the ground reference for each group
must be done. For example: if the jumpers JP1 and JP4 are set
you can connect the ground reference of group KL1 to the clamp
KL1.1.
The input channels can be refered alternatively to a positive
reference voltage or to a common ground. For every channel,
which should be refered to a positive reference, the corresponding jumper JPxa must be set. For every channel, which should
be refered to ground, the corresponding jumper JPxb must be set.
For example: if the jumpers JP13b and JP16b are set you can connect the ground reference of group KL4 to the clamps KL4.2 or
KL4.8.
Please note, out of each pair of jumpers JPxa,b only one jumper
may be set!

2.5ME-635
The ME-635 is an external relay board with 16 solid-state
relays. The relays can switch up to 5 A/240 VAC (specifications
see page 43). An automatic detection of zero-axis crossing guarantees that the load is always switched on zero-axis crossing of
your signal. However phase synchronized switching is not possible with the ME-635.For status control one LED per channel is assembled. Depending on the I/O-board further signals are feedthrough to the 25-pin D-Sub female connector ST2 (see table 11).
For controlling the relays th following assignment is valid:

2.6Connection Options
For the connection of the ME-63Xtend series to the ME-1000,
ME-1400, ME-630, ME-4600 series and ME-6000 series ready-made cables are available as accessories from Meilhaus Electronic
(see the following chapters).
Using individual connection cables the ME-63Xtend series can
also be connected to many multi-I/O and digital-I/O boards. The
I/O board requires at least two 8 bit TTL input resp. output ports.
2.6.1Connection to ME-1000
By a special connection cable of type ME AK-D78/1000 two
ME-63Xtend boards can be connected to a ME-1000/64 directly.
If you are using a ME-1000/128: with one more connection cable
of type ME AK-D78/1000 two additional ME-63Xtend boards can
be connected to the ME-1001.
With up to 4 special connection cables ME AK-D2578/1000 you
can connect one more ME-63Xtend board to the previous
ME-63Xtend board (ST2) in daisy-chain operation. (Note: Only
one additional board can be connected).
With that you can control up to four ME-63Xtend boards
(64 channels) with one ME-1000/64 and up to eight ME-63Xtend
boards (128 channels) with one ME-1000/128. Of course smaller
extension boards are also possible.
Please note, that the digital I/O lines of the ME-1000 are organized in 32 bit wide ports, which can be configured for input or
output by port only. Because of this the ME-634 can not be used
in combination with the ME-1000. ME-X63tend boards used in
daisy chain configuration must be of type input (ME-632) or output (ME-631/633/635).

2.6.2Connection to ME-1400
By a 1:1 connection cable of type ME AK-D78 (or ME-AK-D78/1)
a ME-63Xtend board can be connected to a ME-1400(A/B) directly.
The 8 bit port C as well as the counters 0…2 (not on ME-1400)
are feed-through to the 25pin D-Sub connector (ST2). On demand you can use a connection block (ME AB-D25M) and a
25pin D-Sub cable (ME AK-D25).
Basically the boards of the ME-63Xtend series can also be used
with the ME-1400B. However the digital ports D, E and F as well
as the counters 3…5 are not feed-through to the 25pin D-Sub
connector.

2.6.3Connection to ME-Boards with extra port
Connect the boards of the ME-63Xtend series to the bi-directional
TTL ports (ST2) of the ME-630 series, ME-4600 series and
ME-6000 series. The extra mounting bracket ME AK-D25F/S
included with the package must be installed (see manual of the
board). With the special connection cable ME AK-D2578/4000
the ME-63Xtend board is connected to the 25pin D-Sub jack of
the extra mounting bracket (ME-630 USB: direct connection to
the 25pin D-Sub connector of the device).

Diagram 21: Pinout of the 25pin D-Sub connector ST2
Note for boards of ME-630, ME-4600 and ME-6000 series: To
the 25pin D-Sub connector (ST2) of the ME-63Xtend series no
further signals are attached with exeption of VCC and ground
(see also diagram 19).
*„Daisy-Chain“ operation with the ME-1000:
If you connect a second board of the ME-63Xtend series to the
25pin D-Sub connector ST2 using the special connection cable
ME AK-D2578/1000 the digital I/Os Px16…31 of each port (A, B,
C, D) are attached (see also chapter 2.6 "Connection Options" on
page 30).
Condition is using the special connection cable ME AK-D78/1000
to connect boards of the ME-63Xtend series to the ME-1000/64
(up to 64 channels) resp. ME-1000/128 (up to 128 channels).
Note: ME-1000/64 + ME-1001 = ME-1000/128.
