ILOGICS Product Documentation
Find instructions for selecting, installing, wiring, programming, and configuring communication for ILOGICS products. Browse industrial Arduino MPINO/MPAINO controllers, MPS/MPA ladder-logic PLCs, MNET communication slave I/O, and ILOGICS built-in functions by product family.
Key Documentation
- Product Selection Guide
Compare control methods and I/O requirements to find the right product. - PLC
MPS and MPA products are programmed using MP STUDIO ladder logic. - Industrial Arduino
MPINO and MPAINO products are programmed using Arduino IDE or MPINO STUDIO 2. - Communication-only Controllers
MNET products control I/O through Modbus RTU or LS Industrial Systems Cnet. - HMI
MPView Studio is under development for use on PCs and mobile devices. - Built-in Functions
Built-in functions developed by ILOGICS make programming easier.
Which Product Do You Need?
MPINO
An all-in-one product family integrating the CPU, digital inputs, relay or transistor outputs, analog inputs, and communication circuits on a single PCB.
- Build the main control-panel functions with one unit
- Each model provides a defined I/O and terminal configuration
- Based on ATmega128 or ATmega2560
- Select the product-specific board in Arduino IDE
MPAINO
A modular product family with the required I/O modules connected by cables to an ATmega2560 CPU module.
- Digital I/O configurations starting at 8 points
- Choose relay or transistor outputs
- Analog, PT100, and PWM module expansion
- RS-232, RS-485, UART, and I²C interfaces
Features for Industrial Applications
Isolated Digital Inputs
Field DC signals reach the MCU through optocouplers. MPAINO input modules accept DC 5~24V and include pull-down circuitry.
Choice of Output Type
Choose mechanical relay outputs or N-CH FET SINK transistor outputs to suit the application.
Industrial Communication
Depending on the product, RS-232, RS-485, UART, and I²C are available, along with built-in functions for Modbus RTU, LS Cnet, and Mitsubishi MC Protocol.
Functions Built into the Core
Call functions such as Iton(), Ibounce(), Iscale(), and IpidRun() directly from an Arduino sketch.
First-Time Setup
- Check power, terminals, output type, and COM configuration on the selected model's detail page.
- For MPINO/MPAINO, see the Arduino IDE getting-started guide for board-package installation and product-board selection.
- For MPS/MPA, see each product page for MP STUDIO model selection and download procedures.
- For MNET, see the MNET Series documentation for the ordered protocol, baud rate, slave address, and I/O addresses.
- Wire the unit and set the DIP switches with the power off.
- Verify one input and one output before building the complete control system.
Important: Program MPINO/MPAINO with Arduino or ladder logic, and MPS/MPA with MP STUDIO ladder logic. MNET uses communication-address reads and writes from a master device without downloading a user program. Do not apply settings or examples from another product family without checking compatibility.
