PI-SPI-DIN-8DI Raspberry Digital Input I/O Module

This is the DIN rail mountable version of the Pi-Spi-8DI Isolated Digital Input I/O Module.

The PI-SPI-DIN-8DI has 8 inputs that can either DC or AC (Max 24 V) and are optically isolated.

The design is based on the Microchip MCP23S08 IO Expander. Each MCP23S08 has 4 addresses using the same SPI Chip Select line, meaning 4 modules (32 Inputs) can be used simultaneously.

Each I/O Module in the PI-SPI-DIN series has two 16 Pin GPIO ports that carry power, SPI, I2C andd 5 Chip Selects from the main PI-SPI-DIN-RTC-RS485 Module. Also, each module has it's own 5VDC switching power supply and 3.3VDC LDO regulator.

Specifications:

• Two 16 Pin GPIO Ports (Power, SPI, I2C and 5 Chip Selects)
• 5 VDC 0.5A Switching Power Supply (9 to 24 VDC Input)
• 3.3VDC LDO regulator
• Terminal Blocks are rising clamp cage screw type (no leaf springs)
• Blue LED indicators for power
• MCP23S08 I/O Expander with 4 Address Selects
• Green LED ON Indicators for each Input
• All inputs are optically isolated and can accept either VDC or VAC inputs, Max 24V
• PCB Dimensions: 2.7" Wide x 3.42" Long

Mounting Styles:

Each PI-SPI-DIN I/O Module has three mounting styles available:

PCB

PCB on DIN rail mounting clips

DIN Enclosure

Dimensions: 3.51" Long x 2.975" Wide x 1.11" High

DIN rail enclosures are available in three colours: Black (Standard), Blue (Custom), and White (Custom). Enclosures are fabricated using PETG Plastic.

PI-SPI-DIN-8DI Accessories :

All PI-SPI-DIN I/O Modules come complete with interconnect ribbon cables and all necessary hardware based on enclosure style.
