Wiren Board 6: expansion modules

Translated section on internal and external modules for Wiren Board 6, with compatibility information for the two input modules documented on this site.

Internal expansion modules

Internal expansion modules are small circuit boards fitted inside the controller enclosure to add functions such as RS-485, RS-232, and relay outputs. The controller has four slots for two types of expansion modules; three of the modules have three external terminals each.

External I/O modules

I/O modules attach to the right-hand side connector. Each adds 8–16 digital or analog ports. Up to eight modules can be connected in sequence: up to four input modules (type I) and up to four output or I/O modules (types O and IO).

Power modules

Backup-power mezzanine boards fit inside the controller and can keep it operating for up to three hours.

On WB6.3–6.6, WBE2-DI-DR-3 supports MOD1 and MOD2; MOD3 is not supported. On WB6.7 it supports MOD1, MOD2 and MOD3; MOD4 is not supported.

Follow the complete WBE2-DI-DR-3 manual for installation, enclosure-tab removal where required, and software configuration. See also the WBIO-DI-HVD-16 manual for external-module installation and limits.
