ClearLink™ - EtherNet/IP Motion and I/O Controller
ClearLink™ - EtherNet/IP Motion and I/O Controller
Each ClearLink Industrial I/O and Motion Controller handles up to 4 axes of high-speed step & direction motion, and provides 13 software-configurable analog and digital I/O points (fully protected and 24 VDC compatible); compatible with any EtherNet/IP PLC.
Rich EDS file support reduces development time. LEDs for each I/O point provide easier troubleshooting to reduce downtime.
You can expand each ClearLink’s digital I/O by adding up to eight CCIO-8 expansion modules. This provides up to an additional 64 points of configurable digital I/O.
See the ClearLink main product page for more information.

Processing/Communication | |
Total I/O | 13 built-in I/O points, software configurable as any combination of up to 13 digital inputs, 4 analog inputs, 6 digital outputs, and 1 analog output (4-20mA or 0-20mA). Another 64 digital I/O can be added by using optional 8-point I/O expansion modules (p/n CCIO-8). All configuration of I/O hardware is controlled by software, i.e., no jumpers, DIP switches, trim-pots, etc. need to be manually set. |
Serial communication | 1 multi-functional, individually configurable serial port that can be used as a UART, or RS-232 at up to 115.2 kBaud. Rates up to 2MBaud are achievable depending on cable length, slave transceiver circuit and grounding. 5V power pins are available on each port. |

Easily connect 6 signals from a differential quadrature encoder (A+ A~, B+ B~ and optionally I+ I~) to ClearLink using only 3 digital inputs (DI-6, 7 and 8), without wiring to separate terminal blocks. Connect your encoder to the adapter's DB-9 input and connect the adapter to ClearLink with a standard ribbon cable (20-pin, 0.1" pitch) for a simple noise-free setup. The adapter provides overload-protected +5 volts for the encoder, and "bad sequence" detection warns of faulty or dirty encoders.
