ioLogik Active Ethernet Modular I/O System Overview
The ioLogik Active Ethernet modular I/O family of slice-type network I/O products can connect sensors and
on/off devices in any combination and can transfer the captured data or device status to a host computer via
an Ethernet or IP-based network.
ioLogik Active Ethernet modular I/O products consist of two main parts: (1) the network adaptor, and (2) I/O
modules. The network adaptor provides system and field power to connected I/O modules. Up to 16 I/O
modules can be connected to one network adaptor.
Network I/O expansion modules; up to 16 slots
Adaptor (up to 256 DIOs or 64 AIOs)
Traditional Remote I/O
Remote Ethernet modular I/O solutions have been on the market for a long time. Traditional solutions are
“passive,” in the sense that I/O devices wait passively to be polled by a host computer. The response time in
this type of setup, however, tends to be on the order of seconds. The “passive” remote modular I/O structure
is inadequate for data acquisition and control systems that require an efficient, real-time I/O solution with a
response time on the order of hundredths of a second.
Active Ethernet Modular I/O
Moxa’s Active Ethernet modular I/O solutions were developed specifically to address the limitations of the
traditional passive approach. With the passive approach, the host computer polls the I/O device over the
network for the status of each I/O device. With the active approach, the Active Ethernet modular I/O product
intelligently sends the host computer status information only when specified events occur. Using push
technology, the ioLogik I/O device greatly reduces the load on the CPU and network resources. Far fewer
network packets are required and in general the packets are smaller in size since I/O information is only sent
when needed, and only information from the specified I/O device is sent.
Moxa’s active I/O messaging system uses TCP or UDP for I/O messaging and supports sending messages to up
to ten host computers simultaneously. In addition to providing intelligent status reporting, Active Ethernet I/O
products are backwards compatible. That is, they support all of the functions and capabilities of traditional
passive remote I/O products.

Product Features
Slice Form Factor, High Density Modular I/O
The ioLogik E4200’s compact design is well-suited for environments with limited space. The amount of space
needed at the installation site is determined by the number of modules used. For example, the I/O system’s
width is only 117 mm if you are using 5 I/O modules, compared to 231 mm for an I/O with an 8 slot backplane
design.
Greater Flexibility with Various I/O Module Choices
The ioLogik E4200 Active Ethernet modular I/O family supports various types of I/O modules, including DC
digital input, AC digital input, digital output, relay output, analog input, and analog output.
Expand to a Maximum of 256 Digital Input/Output Points
The ioLogik Active Ethernet I/O family can support up to 16 modules. In other words, the family can support up
to 256 digital input/output points or 64 analog input/output points.
Auto Detection of Installed Modules
A utility provided by Moxa automatically detects and displays all of the modules that are installed. This feature
allows users to see exactly what is installed.
Event-based Logic with up to 80 Rules and Unicode Active
Messaging
Active Ethernet modular I/O products come pre-installed with 80 rules of event-based logic. All alarm
messages also support Unicode text.
Dual Ethernet LAN Support
For reliability, ioLogik products have two independent Ethernet ports with two MAC addresses and two IP
addresses.
SMS Supported via a GPRS Modem
Alarm messages can be automatically sent through the RS-232 COM port when the I/O is connected to a GPRS
modem, such as Moxa’s OnCell 2111 or OnCell 2151.
Built-in Web Console
The ioLogik E4200 includes a pre-installed web console that allows you to monitor the I/O status via a web
browser.

System Architecture
The ioLogik E4200 modular I/O consists of a network adaptor that supports Ethernet and up to 16 I/O modules.
• The ioLogik E4200 Active Ethernet network adaptor is the brains of the system. It is responsible for
collecting information from each I/O module and deciding what parameters to use to operate the I/O
module. Communication between the network adaptor and I/O modules is achieved by a system
communication bus.
• Modbus addresses for each I/O channel are arranged dynamically by the network adaptor according to the
installed I/O modules.
• The network adaptor requires two sets of 24 VDC power inputs. One is for the internal logic circuit, and the
other is for field I/O circuits.
• The network adaptor provides 5 VDC power to all connected I/O modules. When the total current
consumption of the I/O modules exceeds 1.5 A, you will need to insert an extra power expansion module.
To determine how many power expansion modules are required, refer to the spreadsheet in Program Files
MOXA IO Server HELP.
ioLogik E4200 Initial Setup
2-3
Installing an I/O Module on a DIN Rail
Step1: Align the I/O module side by side with the network adaptor, making sure that the upper and lower rails
are hooked together.
Step 2: Align the I/O module side by side with the network module and then push the I/O module until it
touches the DIN rail. Next, apply more force until the module clips on to the DIN rail.

Removing the RTB (Removable Terminal Block) from the I/O Module
Pull out the plastic belt from the RTB, and then apply more force until the I/O module is pulled away from the
I/O module.
Installing the RTB on the I/O Module
Step1: Hook the bottom end of the RTB to the I/O module.
Step2: Push down the RTB until it fits snugly on the I/O module, and then push in the plastic belt.
Installing the System Power Module
The system power expansion module is designed to provide extra power when additional I/O expansion
modules are connected. Each ioLogik E4200 can provide 1.5 A @ 5 VDC. If you require more power for your
installed I/O modules, you will need to use an M-7001 module. However, please note that the M-7001 can only
provide 1 A @ 5 VDC.

The field power distributor is designed to isolate different field voltages. Most of the field power DIO/AIO
modules for the ioLogik E4200 series are 24 VDC. If you need to connect 110 VAC, 230 VAC digital input or
output modules, you must use the Field Power Distributor to isolate different field powers within a single ioLogik
E4200 system.
If all of the DIO modules are 110 VAC, you will need at least one field power distributor to isolate the field power
from the network adaptor (likewise when using 24 VDC or 230 VAC). For example, before you connect a 110
VDC or 220 VAC AC digital input module to a 24 VDC DI/O module, you will need an M-7002 field power
distributor.
Some types of Potential Distributor modules provide extra wiring points such as shielding ground, 0 V field
power, and 24 V field power. For example, the 8-channel digital input (sink type) module itself does not have
a 24 V wiring point, but you can add a 24 V potential distributor for easy wiring.

ATTENTION
Determine the maximum possible current for each power wire and common wire. Observe all electrical codes
dictating the maximum current allowed for each wire size. If the current exceeds the maximum rating, the
wiring could overheat, causing serious damage to your equipment. For safety reasons, we recommend a
average cable size of 22 AWG. However, you may want to use a different cable size depending on the current
load (the maximum wire size for power connectors is 2 mm).
Connecting the Power System
Two 24 VDC power sources are required to power the ioLogik E4200. One 24 VDC power input is for system
power, and the other 24 VDC power input is for the field I/O. For field installation, system power and field power
are provided by different power supply systems.

Connecting to the Network
ioLogik E4200 Active Ethernet Network Adaptor
The ioLogik E4200 Active Ethernet network adaptor supports standard 10/100 Mbps Ethernet. For first time
users, we recommend that you link from your host computer to the ioLogik E4200 over a local Ethernet network
to take care of IP and system configuration. Once the installation is done, you may move the entire I/O system
to the field. Note that you can insert any LAN port to make the configuration setting work.
1. Connect the ioLogik E4200 to the host PC with an Ethernet cable. For initial setup of the ioLogik E4200, we
recommend configuring the ioLogik E4200 using a direct connection to a host computer, rather than
remotely over the network.
Note: While configuring the device, only use one connection. To prevent unexpected errors from
occurring, do not use two connections to connect the ioLogik E4200.
2. If you connect to the host PC through LAN 0, configure the host PC’s IP address to 192.168.127.xxx, with
xxx ranging from 001 to 253). If you connect to the host PC through LAN 1, configure the host PC’s IP
address to 192.168.126.xxx, with xxx ranging from 001 to 253).
In Windows, you will need to do this from the Control Panel.

Introduction to Modular ioAdmin
The ioLogik Modular I/O can be managed and configured over the Ethernet using Modular ioAdmin, a Windows
utility provided with your ioLogik E4200. Modular ioAdmin’s graphical user interface gives you easy access to
all status information and settings. Although the ioLogik E4200 also supports configuration by web console, full
configuration and management is only available through Modular ioAdmin. It has the following functions:
• Full function setting
• Click&Go Logic
• The Wiring Guide
Features of Modular ioAdmin
Auto Search and Detection
When you connect to the ioLogik E4200, the utility can automatically determine how many devices are
connected to the network. A picture of each installed module will be displayed on the screen after successfully
logging in. You do not need to add I/O modules manually one by one. All of the devices you’ve installed will
appear onscreen. In addition, ioAdmin will resolve any IP conflicts that arise from installing two or more ioLogik
Active Ethernet modular I/Os at the same time.
Remote Management
Over an Ethernet network, Modular ioAdmin allows users to find and configure multiple ioLogik systems, and
monitor and configure attached I/O devices. You can also test I/O devices and reset the system.
Click&Go Logic Editor
Click&Go is an event-based, front-end intelligent logic that allows you to make your I/O system smarter.
Modular ioAdmin also includes a Click&Go event logic editor for configuring the control logic of your Active
Ethernet I/O system.
On-line Wiring Guide
An on-line wiring guide can be opened from within Modular ioAdmin. The easily accessible wiring guide can
significantly reduce the amount of time administrators need to devote to planning and troubleshooting.
Import/Export files
Modular ioAdmin can generate three types of files automatically: (1) system configuration files, (2) server lists,
and (3) Modbus tables.
• This function can import/export configuration files and server management lists.
• Modular ioAdmin allows the entire configuration of the ioLogik I/O system to be saved as a file. The file is
viewable as text and can serve as a record for configuration backup, or as a template for configuring other
ioLogik devices.
• The file includes title, date, time, model information, and Click&Go rules.
• Modular ioAdmin can also import and export a list of ioLogik devices that are being managed. The list makes
it easier to manage all devices on the network, and includes server name, module type, IP address, and unit
ID.
• This function can also export the Modbus tables, which are generated automatically.

searching
If two or more I/O systems with the same IP address are found, Modular ioAdmin will ask you to modify IP
addresses in a pop-up window, and then reboot the I/O system. For example, if multiple ioLogik E4200 units
are initially installed on the same network, each unit has the same default IP address. You will need to assign
a different IP address to each unit to avoid IP conflicts. Modular ioAdmin automatically detects IP conflicts and
gives you a chance to modify each unit’s IP address in the IP Address column. Click the Set button to reboot
the corresponding unit with its new IP address. Click the Re-Search button to refresh the list of units found by
Modular ioAdmin.
In certain situations, Modular ioAdmin will be unable to detect the existing I/O system, such as when the I/O
system is not on the same network segment. In these cases, you can add the systems manually. Right click the
tag of the ioLogik in the Navigation Panel, and then choose Add ioLogik I/O Adaptor in the pop-up window
and key in the correct I/O system IP address.
