Chapter 7: BRX Digital I/O Expansion Modules
Overview
One key feature of the BRX platform is its ability to expand its capability to fit your application solution.
One of the ways the BRX platform can do this is by using expansion modules that conveniently “Snap-on” to
the side of any BRX MPU. Once the expansion module has snapped in place it is automatically added to the
project and instantly adds additional I/O and features to the MPU with little to no additional setup required.
NOTE: To learn more about adding expansion units to the project, go to “Installing the Expansion I/O Modules” in
Chapter 1.
The digital expansion modules give you the ability to add additional discrete I/O as needed and are identified
as an input module, output module or combination input/output module. On the front panel of the digital
I/O expansion modules a color scheme and a symbol are used to denote the module type.
Most modules are available in 5, 8, 12, 16 or 32 point variations consisting of sink/source DC inputs/
outputs, AC inputs/outputs, relay outputs and combination modules.
The modules ship without wiring terminal blocks. This allows you to select the termination style that best
fits your application. There are several wiring options available, including screw terminal connectors, spring
clamp terminal connectors and pre-wired ZIPLink cable solutions.
More detailed information about the digital expansion modules along with specifications and wiring diagrams
follow in this chapter.
NOTE: When using relay expansion modules, adding 32 or more relay points requires you to perform a power
budget calculation. See Appendix C for more information.

Wiring Termination Options
The BRX digital expansion modules ship without wiring terminals blocks. This allows you to select the
termination style that best fits your application. There are several wiring options available, including
removable screw terminal connectors, removable spring clamp terminal connectors and pre-wired ZIPLink
cable solutions.
Terminal Block Connectors
The terminal block connectors are provided in kits of multiple connectors that are easily ordered as a single
part number. There are 2 different types of kits to choose from; one kit for the five, eight and 12-point discrete
modules and one kit for the 16-point discrete modules. The five, eight and 12-point module kit includes
(3) 5-pin 5mm connectors. The 8-point modules will use only 2 of the 5-pin connectors, one (1) will not be
used. The 5 and 12-point modules will use all three connectors. The 16-point module kits include (2) 10-pin
3.81 mm connectors.
NOTE: 32-point modules are not compatible with terminal block connectors and require ZIPLink cables.

NOT hot swappable.
To install an expansion module, remove the connector cover on the right side of the MPU or expansion
module to which the new module is to be connected. Align the expansion connectors, insert the module until
you hear a “click”, indicating the module expansion connectors have engaged.
