MPINO Series

MPINO Series

Arduino IDE Getting Started — Install Arduino IDE and the ILOGICS boards, connect MPINO, select its board and port, and check its first I/O.

Compare the I/O and communication features of 9 MPINO Series models at a glance.

Program the controller with Arduino IDE (Arduino C/C++) or MPINO STUDIO 2 (Arduino C/C++ & ladder logic).

MPINO is an all-in-one industrial Arduino with the CPU and I/O on a single PCB. In addition to digital I/O, the product includes model-specific analog, temperature-sensor, high-speed pulse, and communication functions.

How to read model names

The leading number in 8A, 16A, etc. is the number of digital inputs.
The number before R is the number of relay outputs.
The number before T is the number of transistor outputs.
16A8R8T is a model with 16 digital inputs, 8 relay outputs, and 8 transistor outputs.
-S is a compact product with only 1 serial communication channel.
-SU upgrades the relay outputs of -S to 16A.
