MPINO-8A8R is a all-in-one industrial Arduino with 8 digital inputs and 8 relay outputs. A single PCB integrates 4 analog inputs, 6 PWM outputs, 2 isolated high-speed counter inputs, 4 interrupt inputs, and RS-232·RS-485·UART·I²C communication.

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

Use the MPINO-8A8R Arduino IDE getting-started guide to select the board and port and check the first input and output.

See the one-channel digital-input check before wiring for the first time. →

COM0	I(22)~I(29)	D22~D29	8 digital inputs, sharing COM0

The digital inputs are isolated by bidirectional optocouplers and accept DC 5~24V NPN or PNP signals. Select the input type through the COM0 wiring polarity.

Use digitalRead() to display the D22~D29 input states every 200ms. HIGH is 1 and LOW is 0.

void setup() {
  Serial.begin(115200);
}
 
void loop() {
  for (uint8_t pin = 22; pin <= 29; pin++) {
    Serial.print(F("D"));
    Serial.print(pin);
    Serial.print(F(": "));
    Serial.println(digitalRead(pin));

Function prototype

bool IdigitalRead(uint8_t pin, uint8_t samples);

IdigitalRead(22, 5) reads D22 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(22, 5);  // Read D22 five times consecutively and return the stable state
  Serial.println(inputOn ? F("D22 ON") : F("D22 OFF"));
  delay(200);
}

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 the D22 input. Each returns the filtered ON/OFF state.

• Ibounce(22, 30): Apply ON and OFF only after they remain stable for at least 30ms.
• IbounceOn(22, 500): Delay ON by 500ms; apply OFF immediately.
• IbounceOff(22, 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);

Function prototype

void Ialt(bool input, bool &state_var);

Ialt(input, state) inverts state whenever the input changes from OFF to ON. Pressing D22 once turns D62 ON; pressing again turns it OFF. Holding the input retains the state. The example debounces the input with Ibounce(22, 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(62, LOW);
}
 
void loop() {
  const bool previous = outputOn;
  const bool inputOn = Ibounce(22, 30);  // Filter D22 ON/OFF chatter over 30ms

Relay outputs are dry contacts that physically connect each COM terminal to its output terminal. Connect a separate load power supply.

Map inputs D22~D29 to outputs D62~D69 in order. When an input is HIGH, its corresponding output turns ON.

int32_t IanalogRead(uint8_t ch, int32_t min, int32_t max);
float IanalogReadf(uint8_t ch, float min, float max);

This example assumes A0 is configured for 0~5V input and A2 for 0(4)~20mA input. Both functions scale the ADC input to the specified min~max range. IanalogRead() returns an integer with the fractional part discarded; IanalogReadf() returns a floating-point value. This example displays the 0~5V input on A0 as both 0~100% and voltage. For the 0~20mA input on A2, specify a range of 0~20 to read the actual current.

void setup() {
  Serial.begin(115200);

int32_t IanalogRead2(uint8_t ch, int32_t min, int32_t max);
float IanalogRead2f(uint8_t ch, float min, float max);

This example assumes A0 is configured for 0~5V input and A2 for 0(4)~20mA input. Scale a 4~20mA sensor input connected to A2 to a user-defined range. IanalogRead2(A2, 0, 100) returns an integer with 4mA mapped to 0% and 20mA to 100%. IanalogRead2f(A2, 4.0f, 20.0f) returns the current as a floating-point value. Below approximately 3.6mA, both functions return ANALOG_READ2_ERROR(65535); from approximately 3.6~4mA, they return the specified minimum.

int32_t analogReadAvg(uint8_t ch, uint8_t samples);
int32_t analogRead2Avg(uint8_t ch, uint8_t samples);

This example assumes A0 is configured for 0~5V input and A2 for 0(4)~20mA input. analogReadAvg(A0, 5) returns a moving average of the raw A0 ADC readings (0~1023). analogRead2Avg(A2, 5) averages the corrected A2 4~20mA values (4mA=0, 20mA=32767). Each function accumulates up to 5 valid readings from recent calls; it does not take 5 readings in one call. The maximum samples value is 20. analogRead2Avg() returns ANALOG_READ2_AVG_ERROR(-1) for inputs below approximately 3.6mA.

void setup() {
  Serial.begin(115200);
}
 
void loop() {
  const int32_t voltageAvg = analogReadAvg(A0, 5);  // Moving average of up to 5 recent A0 ADC values

float ntcReadf(uint8_t ch);

Run this only on products with channel A0 configured for NTC input. Read the temperature of the NTC 10kΩ (25℃), B=3950K sensor connected to NTC input A0. ntcRead() returns an integer equal to 10 times the Celsius temperature (25.3℃ → 253); ntcReadf() returns the Celsius temperature as a floating-point value (25.3). Both have a resolution of 0.1℃. Values outside the conversion range are clamped to -40℃ or 120℃, so do not use these values to detect an open or short circuit.

TCNT1 and TCNT5 are used as external clock inputs for TIMER1·TIMER5. I²C communication cannot be used simultaneously when SDA and SCL are used as encoder inputs.

Count the TCNT1·TCNT5 isolated inputs as external timer clocks. Use rising edges on the MCU timer input; the value wraps to 0 after 65535. Read atomically and display every 500ms.

Count FALLING edges on SDA(D20). The inputs have 4.7kΩ pull-ups (SDA/SCL). This software interrupt example reads the 32-bit value with ATOMIC_BLOCK and displays it every 500ms. Lossless counting is not guaranteed at the maximum input frequency. Because this uses SDA·SCL, do not run it simultaneously with I²C communication.

Read one holding register from the remote slave over RS-232(Serial1) every 1 second. 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. This is a separate sketch from the slave example above and uses a receive array instead of M/D memory. For RS-485 terminals, replace Serial1 with Serial2; for UART terminals, use Serial3.

unsigned long lastRequest = 0;
uint16_t received[1];
 
void setup() {
  Serial.begin(115200);
  ImodbusRTUmasterInit(Serial1, 9600, SERIAL_8N1);  // Start RS-232 as a Modbus master
}
 
void loop() {
  if (millis() - lastRequest < 1000) return;
  lastRequest = millis();
  const uint8_t result = ImodbusRTUmaster(Serial1, 1, 3, 0, 1, received, 200);  // Read 1 word at address 0 from station 1, timeout 200ms
 
  if (result == IMODBUS_RTU_SUCCESS) {
    Serial.print(F("Register 0: "));
    Serial.println(received[0]);
  } else {
    Serial.print(F("Modbus error: 0x"));
    Serial.println(result, HEX);
  }
}

Function prototype

void ICnetMem(uint16_t m_size, uint16_t d_size, uint16_t r_size = 100);
void ICnetAdr(uint16_t m_offset, uint16_t d_offset, uint16_t r_offset = 0);

Store the D22 state in M[0] and the raw A0 reading (0~1023) in D[0] for an HMI to read. Configure the other device for LS Industrial Systems Cnet, RS-232, station 1, 9600bps, 8N1. Read the bit at %MX00000(M[0]) and the word at %DW0(D[0]). Call the communication function on every loop() iteration. This example does not control outputs.

M, D, and R are shared global memory provided by the core; this example does not use R. Run this separately from the Modbus example. When combining protocols, do not allocate the shared memory more than once. For RS-485 terminals, replace Serial1 with Serial2; for UART terminals, use Serial3.

unsigned long lastPrint = 0;
bool memoryReady = false;
 
void setup() {
  Serial.begin(115200);
  ICnetMem(8, 8, 0);  // Allocate 8 M bits and 8 D words; R is unused
  ICnetAdr(0, 0, 0);  // Set the M and D communication start addresses to 0
  ICnetInit(Serial1, 1, 9600);  // Start RS-232 at station 1, 9600bps
  memoryReady = (M != nullptr && D != nullptr);
  if (!memoryReady) Serial.println(F("Memory allocation failed"));
}
 
void loop() {
  if (!memoryReady) return;
  M[0] = digitalRead(22);
  D[0] = analogRead(A0);
  ICnet();  // Process incoming LS Cnet requests
 
  if (millis() - lastPrint >= 1000) {
    lastPrint = millis();
    Serial.print(F("M[0]: "));
    Serial.print(M[0]);
    Serial.print(F(", D[0]: "));
    Serial.println(D[0]);
  }
