Working Principle
Signal Acquisition Phase
Signal Conditioning Phase
Filtering: High-frequency noise (such as 60Hz power frequency interference) is removed through an RC filter circuit.
Current/Voltage Limiting: A built-in 250Ω resistor limits current input, and ±30V overvoltage protection prevents module damage.
Isolation: Galvanic isolation between channels (optional, requires matching with GI/IS IOTA) prevents ground loop interference.

Abnormal states are fed back to the Control Builder via the I/O Link, triggering software fault alarms (e.g., "VREFFAIL" for reference voltage fault).
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
A: "INPTFAIL" is an input fault. The troubleshooting steps are divided into 3 parts:
Check wiring and power supply: Use a multimeter to measure the transmitter power supply (24V DC is required for two-wire systems to be normal). Confirm that there is no loose or short-circuited wiring (the resistance between terminals should be ≥1kΩ; if open-circuited, re-tighten the wiring).
Verify the signal range: Measure the input signal value (the current should be within 4-20mA, and the voltage within 0-5V/1-5V). If the signal is out of range (e.g., <3.8mA or >20.5mA), check if the transmitter is faulty.
Check the IOTA jumper: For voltage input, confirm that the jumper (e.g., JP1) of the corresponding channel has been disconnected (failure to disconnect will cause a signal short circuit). For differential mode, confirm that the TB2 jumper configuration is correct (refer to the CC-TAID11 terminal table).
A: Yes, but 3 core conditions must be met:
IOTA selection: Use the CC-GAIX21 GI/IS IOTA for non-redundant scenarios and the CC-GAIX11 GI/IS IOTA for redundant scenarios.
Isolator configuration: Intrinsically safe isolators (e.g., MTL4541 for 4-20mA signals) must be connected in series. Ensure the isolators comply with ATEX/CSA certifications (Class 1, Div 2).
Wiring requirements: Use armored shielded cables (e.g., Belden 9463). Avoid parallel routing with power cables, and ground the shield layer at one end (near the module side).
A: Hardware jumpers and software configuration are required. The steps are as follows:
Hardware jumpers (IOTA side): Take the CC-TAID01 non-redundant IOTA as an example. Short the J249-J250 jumpers (marked "DIFF") and disconnect the J248-J250 jumpers (single-ended mode). All 16 channels need to be configured independently.
Software configuration (Control Builder):
a. Open the "Configuration" tab of the IOM block and set "Input Type" to "Differential".
b. Select "Channel Mapping" and confirm that all 16 channels are associated with differential terminals (TB1 + TB2).
c. Verification: Connect a differential signal (e.g., for Channel 1, connect "+" to TB1-1 and "-" to TB2-1). Observe that the PV value has no fluctuation (a fluctuation of ≤±0.05% FS is normal).
Q: If a "VREFFAIL" (reference voltage fault) occurs during module operation, how to handle it?
A: "VREFFAIL" indicates an abnormality in the internal reference voltage. The handling priority is as follows:
Temporary recovery: Power off the module for 10 seconds and then power it on again. If the fault disappears, it is a temporary interference (e.g., power grid fluctuation), and the fault occurrence time and working conditions should be recorded.
Check power supply stability:Use a multimeter to measure the voltage of the IOTA power terminal (TB3), which should be within 24V DC ±10% (21.6V-26.4V). If the voltage fluctuation exceeds 5%, troubleshoot the cabinet power module.
Module calibration: If the power supply is normal, perform "Reference Voltage Calibration" in Control Builder (path: IOM Block → Calibration → VREF Cal) and calibrate using a standard voltage source (e.g., 2.5V reference).
Hardware replacement: If calibration fails, the internal reference voltage chip of the module may be faulty. The CC-PAIX02 module needs to be replaced (note to back up the configuration file).
Q:If the communication between the CC-PAIX02 and the C300 controller is interrupted, how to troubleshoot?
A: Communication interruptions are mostly related to the I/O Link or configuration. The troubleshooting steps are:
Check physical connections:Confirm that the I/O Link cables (gray/purple) between the IOTA and the C300 controller are not loose and the connectors are not oxidized. For redundant configurations, check the active and standby Link cables.
Check Link status:In Control Builder, check the status of the "IOLINK" block. If "Link Status" is "Down", check the I/O Link address jumper (the module address must be consistent with the IOMNUM parameter).
Diagnose module firmware: Use the CTools tool to check the module firmware version, which must be compatible with the C300 controller firmware (the R430 system requires a firmware version ≥V2.0). If incompatible, upgrade the firmware.
Redundancy switch test:For redundant configurations, manually switch between the active and standby modules. If the standby module communicates normally, the I/O Link interface of the active module is faulty, and the active module needs to be replaced.
