Digital IO Plug In

The 2080 Digital IO Plug-In is available in the following model:

 2080-IQ4 – 4 Points Digital Input

 2080-OB4 – 4 Points Digital Sourcing Output

 2080-OV4 – 4 Points Digital Sinking Output

 2080-OW4I – 4 Points Relay Output

 2080-IQ4OB4 – 4 Points Digital Input and 4 points Digital Sourcing Output

 2080-IQ4OV4 – 4 Points Digital Input and 4 points Digital Sinking Output

It can be using with Micro 830/850 series from 10 points onwards.

The plug-in will be mounted in the available slot of the controller. Each slot will be given a unique number
for identification in the user program.

Slot Slot Slot Slot Slot

1 2 3 4 5

The slot number is as per above.

Thus, when using the Digital IO plug-in, the Slot no. will be used to identify the module to be read.

Using Digital IO Plug In with User-Defined Function Blocks

This quick start will show you how to import the Micro800 UDFB: Digital IO Plug-In UDFB Suite, to use
with the Digital IO Plug-in.

The example given here is for a 2080-LC30-16QWB with 2080-IQ4OB4 installed.

Slot 1:
2080-
IQ4OB4

1. Start the Connect Component Workbench from the Shortcut on the desktop.

2. At Catalog of the Device Toolbox, double click on the 2080-LC30-16QWB to create a new project.

 18. The UDFB will be shown in the program workspace. Enter the parameter to the block.

Slot number of location where

the module is installed.
In this example is Slot 1, so
SMSG_S1_IN
enter value 1.

SMSG_S1_IN

Variable name where the

input is read into.
In this example is S1_I00

S1_I01

S1_I02

S1_I03

Enter the value by click on the upper portion of the parameter box.

The drop down menu will appear, at the field, enter the value “1”. Then hit enter key.

 21. The UFDB will be shown in the program workspace.

Slot number of location where

the module is installed.
In this example is Slot 1, so SMSG_S1_OUT
enter value 1.

Error_S1_OUT
Variable name where
output is reading from
In this example is S1_O00 S1_O01

S1_O02

S1_O03

Repeat the step as per the step 18, and enter the parameter to the output block.
In completion, the following will be shown.
