MPINO Series
Arduino IDE getting started guide — Install the tools, select the board and port, and check the first input and output.
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
Ris the number of relay outputs. - The number before
Tis the number of transistor outputs. 16A8R8Tis a model with 16 digital inputs, 8 relay outputs, and 8 transistor outputs.-Sis a compact product with only 1 serial communication channel.-SUupgrades the relay outputs of-Sto 16A.
