Configure a 16 port Virtual I/O module

You can configure a 16 port virtual I/O module on your Connect Sensor. A 16 port virtual I/O module consists of 8 virtual inputs and 8 virtual outputs that can be defined as data type digital, numeric, or hex. You can configure the virtual inputs and outputs in the Input Configuration and Output Pins configuration pages.

Since virtual I/O modules are internal to the device, communications is also internal. There are no off-box communications.

  1. Access the web UI for Connect Sensor from the Device Summary page. The Automation Dashboard displays.

  2. Choose Automation > I/O Module. The I/O Module Configuration page displays.

  3. In the Add a New Device section, select 16 Port Virtual I/O from the New Device Type field.

  4. Click Add. The module is saved and displays in the Configured Devices section. It is enabled by default. You can disable it if needed.
