OVERVIEW
The INT-MIO is a multi-purpose powerline transceiver of the DimOnOff® Building automation series that allows interfacing between a wide variety of 0-5V or 0-10V measurement devices, and Powerline communication, enabling:
- Remote data acquisition of various instruments, such as:
- Pulse generators
- Ex: Electricity - Vapour - Flow
- Analog inputs 0-10VDC for measurement instruments (Temperature - Pressure - Humidity - Occupancy sensors, Photocells, etc.),
- Control of remote loads via the powerline transmission of Commands & Scenarios, based on various measurement thresholds (Hi-Low scenarios) or deadband variations (ex: dimming commands to a specific Group).
The board features 6 entirely independent I/Os which can be configured via power line to send/receive digital signals or receive an analog value.
It also features pulse counter functions, e.g. continuously counting pulses, scale factors, transmission time intervals, etc.
All data communicated through the powerline will be recorded by the DimOnOff® Configuration, Control & Monitoring software, to build historical datasets and analysis graphs.
With these different powerline modules, complex automation environments can be designed and operated.
As a result, installation costs are substantially reduced, and control/automation networks are easily modified or expanded, simply by remote programming, since there is now a virtual link between all controlling and controlled modules.
FEATURES
-
- 6 independent I/Os configurable as digital input, digital output and analog input
- LED indicators for Power, CPU, CFG and Tx/Rx
- RX-TX, with user-selectable Repeating feature
- Designed to create flexible, smart automation systems for institutional, commercial and industrial lighting
- Enables Remote monitoring of equipment, and Remote control of DimOnOff® relays over the power lines, or over the Internet (Specify MOD-ETH, Powerline-Ethernet modem)
- Reliable powerline communication in high attenuation (0.5Ω min.) and noisy electrical environments

APPLICATIONS
-
- Data acquisition: Use with 0-10VDC photocell - Pulse counter - Status meter - Temperature sensor - Humidity sensor, Pressure sensor - Motion detector, etc.
- Without the Data acquisition Daughterboard, it may be used as a standard Powerline repeater
- Automation Commands & Scenarios may be programmed to be launched on Threshold-crossing (min-max)
- Combined with a status CT, it's possible to take into account the start up of a motor, pump or other, and to record the information in the software's database

PROGRAMMABLE FUNCTIONS
The INT-MIO includes various programmable functions, such as:
- Each pin is configurable to the following settings: Digital input, Digital output, Analog input
- Digital input modes:
- Normal
- Digital Input Normal: Triggering of Scenario of a Group of Modules, based on Open/Close status of a dry contact
- Pulse Counter:
- Transmission Period: Period (seconds) between each transmission of the pulses count.
- K Factor: Number of pulses detected before incrementing the counter
- Edge: The edge on which a pulse is declared. Used in pulse counter mode only. (0 = falling; 1 = rising)
- Transmission on k-factor: If set to True, the INT-MIO sends its current pulse count every time the k-factor is reached
- Pulse Counter Running: sends Total number of pulses on Periodic transmissions
- Pulse Counter Differential: sends Number of pulses detected since Last transmission when using Periodic transmission
- Normal
- Digital Output: Logical Output State
- 0 = Low; 1 = High; 2 = N/A
- Analog Input:
- Thresholds: Divides the 0-10V input into 0-100% scale - Triggering of Scenario of a Group of Modules, based on Low-High values
- Deadband: Divides the 0-10V input into 0-100% scale - Triggering of Commands sent to a Group of Modules, based on Input variations

CAUTIONS AND NOTES
- The INT-MIO must be installed into an electrical box with proper size. Typically a standard electrical panel: 8" x 8" x 4"
- Only used for junction boxes where min. 90°C wiring is used.
- These devices are intended for installation in accordance with your local electric code and regulations. It is recommended that a qualified electrician perform this installation.
- A transmitter is required to communicate with the INT-MIO module and is sold separately. (Specify modem type MOD-USB or MOD-ETH to be used with DimOnOff® Configuration, Control & Monitoring software)
