Follow these steps to upload a program to an MPINO or MPAINO product and check one digital output and input. Input 0 and output 64 in the examples are for MPAINO-8A8R(T). For another product, replace them with the addresses in its pin map.

Read the full model name, R/T output type, and power-input specification on the product label. The output type determines how you connect a load and check its operation.

• MPAINO-8A8R(T): The examples use input 0 and output 64. Check the terminals and addresses in the 8A8R or 8A8T pin map.
• Other MPAINO and MPINO models: Open your model under MPAINO Series or MPINO Series and check the input and output addresses you will use.

1. Check the terminal names and power polarity against the product manual.
2. Check COM wiring and the upload cable specified for the product.
3. Leave output loads disconnected for the first upload and output check.
4. Provide emergency-stop and overcurrent-protection circuits independently of the program.

1. Download and install the Windows Arduino IDE installer from the official Arduino download page.
2. Download and run ARDUINO SDK INSTALL from the ILOGICS Arduino SDK download page. It adds the ILOGICS board definitions to Arduino IDE.
3. Close Arduino IDE and start it again.
4. Connect the product to the PC, then select its board and port as shown below.

Click the board selector at the top of Arduino IDE and choose Select other board and port…. The image shows a search for MPAINO-8A8R(T).

You can verify code after selecting only a board, but uploading also requires a port. If you cannot identify the port, check its COM number under Windows Device Manager → Ports (COM & LPT).

The example addresses in this guide use an ILOGICS board definition. Some models can also use Arduino Mega/Mega 2560, but in that case you must use the Arduino pin numbers in the product manual. Select an ILOGICS board definition to use ILOGICS built-in functions.

The sketch below turns MPAINO-8A8R(T) output 64 on and off every 0.5 seconds.

const uint8_t OUTPUT_CHANNEL = 64; // MPAINO-8A8R(T) example
 
void setup() {
  pinMode(OUTPUT_CHANNEL, OUTPUT);
}
 
void loop() {
  digitalWrite(OUTPUT_CHANNEL, HIGH);
  delay(500);
  digitalWrite(OUTPUT_CHANNEL, LOW);
  delay(500);
}

1. Open File → New Sketch and enter the code. For MPINO or another MPAINO model, change OUTPUT_CHANNEL to the first output address in that model's pin map.
2. Save the sketch with Ctrl + S.
3. Click Verify (✓). Compilation is complete when the output panel shows no errors and Done compiling. appears.
4. Check the board and port, click Upload (→), and wait for the completion message.
5. With the output load still disconnected, check that the indicator for that output changes state every 0.5 seconds, if fitted.

You may also hear a relay contact switch. Without an external supply and load, a transistor output cannot be measured like a voltage output. If the product has no output indicator, first check the output test method in its manual.

This example reads MPAINO-8A8R(T) input 0 and applies the same state to output 64. The output turns on when the input is HIGH and turns off when it is LOW.

const uint8_t INPUT_CHANNEL = 0;   // MPAINO-8A8R(T) input example
const uint8_t OUTPUT_CHANNEL = 64; // MPAINO-8A8R(T) output example
 
void setup() {
  pinMode(INPUT_CHANNEL, INPUT);
  pinMode(OUTPUT_CHANNEL, OUTPUT);
}
 
void loop() {
  bool inputState = digitalRead(INPUT_CHANNEL);
  digitalWrite(OUTPUT_CHANNEL, inputState);
}

Verify (✓) and Upload (→) the sketch. Connect the input signal according to the product manual. Change its state and check that the output state changes with it. MPAINO digital inputs have built-in pull-down resistors, so use INPUT. For MPINO, check the model's input circuit and pin map before choosing the addresses and input configuration.
