|---|---|---|---|
| COM0 | D0~D3 | 4 isolated digital inputs D0/D1 also serve as INT0/INT1 | |
| COM1 | D4~D7 | 4 isolated digital inputs |
The digital inputs are isolated by optocouplers and accept DC 5~24V NPN or PNP switches and sensors. Select the input type through the wiring polarity of each COM terminal.
- If the input terminal receives DC 5~24V, connect the corresponding COM to GND.
- If the input terminal receives GND, connect the corresponding COM to DC 5~24V.
Even with analog-output or high-speed-pulse options YK, Y2K, K2, Y3, Y4 installed, the program uses digital inputs D0~D7 in the same way. INT0·INT1 are unavailable in that configuration.
Example program · digital inputs
Read the states of input logical numbers 0~7 with digitalRead(). The current ILOGICS core internally translates the original physical D numbers printed on the terminals.
void setup() { Serial.begin(115200); } void loop() { for (uint8_t ch = 0; ch < 8; ++ch) { Serial.print(ch); Serial.print(": " ); Serial.println(digitalRead(ch)); } delay(500); }

Function example · consecutive-read filter: IdigitalRead()
Function details: IdigitalRead()
Function prototype
bool IdigitalRead(uint8_t pin, uint8_t samples);
IdigitalRead(0, 5) reads input 0 5 times consecutively. Update the state when all readings are HIGH or all are LOW; mixed readings retain the previous state. Unlike a time-based debounce filter, it inserts no delay between readings.
void setup() { Serial.begin(115200); } void loop() { const bool inputOn = IdigitalRead(0, 5); // Read input 0 five times consecutively and return the stable state Serial.println(inputOn ? F("Input 0 ON") : F("Input 0 OFF")); delay(200); }
Function example · debouncing: Ibounce(), IbounceOn(), IbounceOff()
Function details: Ibounce() · IbounceOn() · IbounceOff()
Function prototype
bool Ibounce(uint8_t pin, uint32_t debounceTime); bool IbounceOn(uint8_t pin, uint32_t debounceTime); bool IbounceOff(uint8_t pin, uint32_t debounceTime);
Compare three filters on input 0. The return value is the filtered ON/OFF state.
Ibounce(0, 30): Apply either ON or OFF after it remains stable for at least 30ms.IbounceOn(0, 500): Delay ON by 500ms; apply OFF immediately.IbounceOff(0, 500): Delay OFF by 500ms; apply ON immediately.
Each function operates independently, even on the same pin. Run the filters on every loop() iteration and display only the results at 200ms intervals.
unsigned long lastPrint = 0; void setup() { Serial.begin(115200); } void loop() { const bool stable = Ibounce(0, 30); // Filter input 0 ON/OFF chatter over 30ms const bool onDelayed = IbounceOn(0, 500); // Delay only input 0 ON by 500ms; apply OFF immediately const bool offDelayed = IbounceOff(0, 500); // Delay only input 0 OFF by 500ms; apply ON immediately if (millis() - lastPrint >= 200) { lastPrint = millis(); Serial.print(F("Ibounce: ")); Serial.print(stable); Serial.print(F(", IbounceOn: ")); Serial.print(onDelayed); Serial.print(F(", IbounceOff: ")); Serial.println(offDelayed); } }
Function example · input toggle: Ialt()
Function details: Ialt()
Function prototype
void Ialt(bool input, bool &state_var);
Ialt(input, state) inverts state whenever the input changes from OFF to ON. Pressing input 0 once turns output 64 ON; pressing again turns it OFF. Holding the input retains the state. The example debounces the input with Ibounce(0, 30) before passing it to Ialt(). outputOn is a global variable retained between calls, and Ialt() modifies it directly.
bool outputOn = false; void setup() { Serial.begin(115200); digitalWrite(64, LOW); } void loop() { const bool previous = outputOn; const bool inputOn = Ibounce(0, 30); // Filter input 0 ON/OFF chatter over 30ms Ialt(inputOn, outputOn); // Invert outputOn on an OFF→ON input transition digitalWrite(64, outputOn ? HIGH : LOW); if (outputOn != previous) { Serial.println(outputOn ? F("Output 64 ON") : F("Output 64 OFF")); } }
Relay outputs
| Group | Output terminals | Contact configuration | Terminals and Wiring Example |
|---|---|---|---|
| COM2 | D64~D67 | 4 relay outputs share COM2 | |
| COM3 | D68~D71 | 4 relay outputs share COM3 |
Relay outputs are dry contacts. When ON, the output terminal physically connects to COM, allowing control of DC and AC loads. Connect the separate load power supply to COM, rather than the relay output terminal.
| Item | Rating |
|---|---|
| Connection voltage | DC 0~30V or AC 0~250V |
| Maximum allowable current | 5A/1 points |
| Maximum allowable current per COM | 8A/1COM |
Example program · relay outputs
Map inputs 0~7 to outputs 64~71. When HIGH, the dry relay contact turns ON.
void setup() { for (uint8_t ch = 0; ch < 8; ++ch) digitalWrite(64 + ch, LOW); } void loop() { for (uint8_t ch = 0; ch < 8; ++ch) { digitalWrite(64 + ch, digitalRead(ch)); } }
Interrupts / High-speed inputs
Connect the encoder with phase A on SDA(D20) and phase B on SCL(D21). When SDA·SCL are used as encoder or interrupt inputs, I²C communication cannot be used simultaneously on the same terminals.
Example program · pulse counting
SDA(D20) on the I²C terminals is a 4.7kΩ pull-up input. Do not use this example simultaneously with I²C communication. In the MPAINO board package, argument 2 of digitalPinToInterrupt() is the logical interrupt number assigned to SDA, not digital input 2. Count FALLING edges when SDA changes from HIGH to LOW. This is a software ISR example and does not guarantee lossless counting at the maximum frequency.
#include <util/atomic.h> static_assert(digitalPinToInterrupt(2) == 3, "SDA interrupt mapping"); volatile uint32_t pulseCount = 0; void onPulse() { ++pulseCount; } void setup() { Serial.begin(115200); attachInterrupt(digitalPinToInterrupt(2), onPulse, FALLING); } void loop() { uint32_t count; ATOMIC_BLOCK(ATOMIC_RESTORESTATE) { count = pulseCount; } Serial.println(count); delay(500); }
Example program · encoder inputs
SDA(D20) on the I²C terminals is a 4.7kΩ pull-up input. Do not use this example simultaneously with I²C communication. In the MPAINO board package, argument 2 of digitalPinToInterrupt() is the logical interrupt number assigned to SDA, not digital input 2. Connect phase A to SDA and phase B to SCL. At the falling edge of phase A, increment when B is HIGH and decrement when B is LOW. The direction changes with the phase A/B connections. Because SCL overlaps the digital module logical numbers, read the physical pin state directly.
#include <util/atomic.h> static_assert(digitalPinToInterrupt(2) == 3, "SDA interrupt mapping"); volatile int32_t position = 0; void onEncoder() { // Read the physical SCL pin directly because its number overlaps a digital module logical number const bool bHigh = (*portInputRegister(digitalPinToPort(SCL)) & digitalPinToBitMask(SCL)) != 0; if (bHigh) ++position; else --position; } void setup() { Serial.begin(115200); attachInterrupt(digitalPinToInterrupt(2), onEncoder, FALLING); } void loop() { int32_t value; ATOMIC_BLOCK(ATOMIC_RESTORESTATE) { value = position; } Serial.println(value); delay(500); }

Example program · I²C communication
Scan for I²C device addresses on SDA·SCL. Do not run this simultaneously with pulse/encoder examples that use the same terminals.
#include <Wire.h> void setup() { Serial.begin(115200); Wire.begin(); Wire.setClock(100000); } void loop() { uint8_t found = 0; for (uint8_t address = 0x08; address <= 0x77; address++) { Wire.beginTransmission(address); const uint8_t result = Wire.endTransmission(); if (result == 0) { Serial.print(F("I2C: 0x")); if (address < 16) Serial.print('0'); Serial.println(address, HEX); found++; } } Serial.print(F("Devices: ")); Serial.println(found); delay(3000); }

Read M[0] with FC01, start address 0, 1 bit; read D[0] with FC03, start address 0, 1 word. Addresses are actual transmitted addresses, starting from 0.

Read 1 holding register from the slave every 1 second over RS-485(Serial2). Configure the other device for station 1, 9600bps, 8N1, FC03, and on-wire start address 0. The response is stored in received[0] and displayed only on success. Error codes are displayed in hexadecimal.

Output the 16-bit midpoint duty value 32768 on K channel 0. PWM() defaults to the 8-bit range 0~255; specifying true selects 0~65535.
void setup() { PWM_RESET(); // Stop PWM timers and reset their modes PWM(0, 32768, true); // Output a midrange 16-bit duty value on K channel 0 } void loop() { }

The configuration is 1 K module, no Y module, and High-Speed Pulse Output Module → K. Logical channels 0~2 share Timer1 and 3~5 share Timer5; use the same frequency within each group. Output 1kHz at 50% duty on K channel 0. The core has no separate FPWM(); use FDPWM().
void setup() { PWM_RESET(); // Stop PWM timers and reset their modes FDPWM(0, 1000, 50.0f); // Output 1kHz at 50% duty on K channel 0 } void loop() { }
Function example · output a specified pulse count: NPWM_BEGIN(), NPWM()
Function details: NPWM_BEGIN() · NPWM()
Function prototype
void NPWM_BEGIN(uint8_t pin, uint32_t intHz, float Duty, uint32_t N); void NPWM(uint8_t pin);
The configuration is 1 K module, no Y module, and High-Speed Pulse Output Module → K. Logical channels 0~2 share Timer1 and 3~5 share Timer5; use the same frequency within each group. Output a single burst of 100 pulses at 1kHz and 50% duty on K channel 0. Call NPWM() on every loop() iteration without inserting delay().
void setup() { PWM_RESET(); // Stop PWM timers and reset their modes NPWM_BEGIN(0, 1000, 50.0f, 100); // Prepare 100 pulses at 1kHz, 50% duty on K channel 0 } void loop() { NPWM(0); // Process the prepared pulse output and completion }
Function example · stop/resume channel output: PWMOFF()
Function details: PWMOFF()
Function prototype
void PWMOFF(uint8_t pin, bool POff);
The configuration is 1 K module, no Y module, and High-Speed Pulse Output Module → K. Logical channels 0~2 share Timer1 and 3~5 share Timer5; use the same frequency within each group. Turn K channel 0 on for 2 seconds, then stop it for 2 seconds. After setting the PWMOFF() flag, call FDPWM() to apply the state and hold GPIO number 130 LOW. This stop flag does not apply to NPWM().
void setup() { PWM_RESET(); // Stop PWM timers and reset their modes } void loop() { PWMOFF(0, false); // Clear the stop state of K channel 0 FDPWM(0, 1000, 50.0f); // Apply the cleared flag and start 1kHz, 50% output delay(2000); PWMOFF(0, true); // Set the stop state of K channel 0 FDPWM(0, 1000, 50.0f); // Apply the stop flag and disconnect PWM output digitalWrite(130, LOW); delay(2000); }
Function example · stop/reset PWM timers: PWM_RESET()
Function details: PWM_RESET()
Function prototype
void PWM_RESET();
The configuration is 1 K module, no Y module, and High-Speed Pulse Output Module → K. Logical channels 0~2 share Timer1 and 3~5 share Timer5; use the same frequency within each group. Stop and reset Timer1·Timer5 in a K-only configuration. Output on channel 0 for 2 seconds, then stop. This affects all K outputs sharing the same timer.
void setup() { PWM_RESET(); // Stop PWM timers and reset their modes FDPWM(0, 1000, 50.0f); // Output 1kHz at 50% duty on K channel 0 delay(2000); PWM_RESET(); // Stop and reset all PWM on Timer1 and Timer5 digitalWrite(130, LOW); } void loop() { }
