Download CableMP DOWNLOAD CABLE

Programming this board needs the dedicated download cable

The upload port on this board is a mini 5P USB socket, but the USB-to-serial conversion lives in the CABLE, not on the board. Plug in an off-the-shelf mini 5P USB cable and the PC never enumerates a port, so nothing uploads. The MP download cable is one we build ourselves — buy one and keep using it.

• USB-TTL converter inside

  The conversion IC sits in the connector housing

• Generic mini 5P cannot be used

  An ordinary cable enumerates no port and cannot upload

• USB-A to mini 5P

  Connects the PC's USB port to the board's upload port.

• Made by ILOGICS

  A dedicated cable for use with ILOGICS products.

What the cable is

* Having the conversion IC inside the housing is what sets this apart from an ordinary cable. Board end is mini 5P, PC end is USB-A, and the cable is 1 m long.

Digital input

8 isolated digital input channels

Eight digital input channels read external switches and sensors reliably, straight from the terminal block.

• D0–D7 inputs

  Eight digital input points in total

• 

  COM0 common

  All 8 points share COM0

• 

  Optocoupler isolation

  Control circuit protected from field noise

• 

  NPN / PNP sensors

  Works with either sensor wiring convention

Input channel layout

* Example wiring for external switches or sensors (NPN/PNP shared)

Transistor output

8 isolated transistor output channels

8 transistor output channels switch and control external loads reliably.

• 

  D32–D39 outputs

  8 sinking transistor output points

• 

  V+ / V− supply

  Separate terminals for the load-side supply

• 

  Optocoupler isolation

  Control and output circuits kept apart

• 

  Sinking output

  Steady switching control for external loads

Output channel layout

* Example wiring for external loads (sinking transistor output)

Analog inputAnalog Input

4 analog input channels, current or voltage selectable per channel

A0–A3 come out on the same green screw terminal block as the digital inputs, at the board's upper right. Every channel ships as a 0(4)–20 mA current input; pull that channel's header cap and it becomes a DC 0(1)–5 V voltage input, and DC 0–10 V can be requested when ordering.

• A0–A3 · 4 channels

  Four 10-bit (0–1023) analog input points

• 0(4)–20 mA by default

  Header cap fitted at the factory · 250 Ω input

• Cap off → DC 0(1)–5 V

  Selected independently per channel · 200 kΩ

• External reference

  REF3025 +2.5 V on AREF for accurate readings

Analog input terminals

* The same green screw terminal block as the digital inputs, at the board's upper right, in the order A0 · A1 · A2 · A3 · AGND. Each channel has its own 2-pin range-select header, shipped with the cap fitted. AGND is tied to GND through a 2012 0 Ω resistor.

Temperature inputNTC Temperature

2 NTC temperature channels on their own connectors

NTEMP1 and NTEMP2 each take an NTC 3950 10 kΩ thermistor and read −40 to 120 °C in 0.1 °C steps. They use their own connectors, separate from the analog inputs, and have no polarity — the two leads are interchangeable.

• NTEMP1 · NTEMP2

  Two temperature channels on A4 (D52) / A5 (D53)

• NTC 3950 10 kΩ

  10 kΩ at 25 °C, B constant 3950 K

• −40 to 120 °C

  0.1 °C resolution (over 0–40 °C)

• Own JST XH connectors

  2.54 mm 2-pin × 2 · no polarity

NTC temperature connectors

* Two white JST XH 2-pin connectors (2.54 mm pitch) — 2 pins per channel, 4 pins for both. The NTC input has no polarity, so the two leads are interchangeable.
