Technical Information / Datasheet
Scope of Supply
Field of use
External IO extension for snap-on rail mounting of the SK 54xE (SK 2xxE also permissible). This can
be connected to the inverter via the CAN bus. Four digital inputs, 2 digital outputs, 2 analog inputs and
1 analog output are available. Further IO modules can be connected via a snap-on rail bus connector.

The load on the contacts of the RJ45 socket must not exceed 1.2 A. When setting up a correspondingly large
network with frequency inverters and IOE modules, it may be necessary to set up two circuits in order to prevent
overload.

Connection examples
The following connection examples are generally applicable for NORD IO modules. The number or
type of the available IOs and their configuration on the terminal rail varies according to the module.
The actual availability or the designation of the individual contacts should be obtained by reference to
the description of the connections. The technical data (e.g. load capacity) must be taken into account.

* The relevant IOs must be configured via DIP switches according to the form of the signal
** Analog input only
In "Broadcast mode, which is activated via the parameter (P162), the module can access up to 4 inverters in
parallel. Therefore the frequency inverters jointly access the I/Os and evaluate the input signals according to their
own parameterisation. Output signals from the frequency inverters which are sent to the common IO module are
linked by a logical "OR" within the module. i.e. a digital output is set as soon as one of the four frequency inverters
addresses it. In addition, the highest analog value is provided via the analog output of the IO extension.

Configuration
Configuration of the module is mainly performed via the DIP switches. The DIP switches are read after
a "power on" of the module. A change to the DIP switch during operation has no effect.
The system bus must be terminated at both of its physical ends (if necessary set the "System bus
termination resistor" DIP switch).

Parameterisation
Inverter: In order to establish communication between the inverter and the IOE module, the following
inverter parameters must be changed.
IO extension: The module provides a selection of parameters for setting or displaying special
operating values. The parameters can be changed with the aid of the NORDCON software or with a
ParameterBox. Communication is only possible via an SK 54xE or SK 2xxE which is connected to the
module.
