Eaton PXIO-B

The PXIO‑B is a modular I/O expansion board belonging to the Eaton Power Xpert (PX) series, specifically engineered for the PX4000 rack-mount control system. With a compact 1U form factor for rack installation, it enables rapid expansion of digital, analog, and discrete I/O within the same rack, meeting the demands for high-reliability and low-latency I/O in industrial field environments.

Key Technical Specifications

• Dimensions: 1 U (approximately 44 mm in height), compatible with standard 19‑inch racks
• Power Supply: Unified power supply from the PX4000 system power supply (PXPS‑4), operating voltage at 24 V DC
• I/O Types: Offers digital input/output, analog input/output (0‑10 V, 4‑20 mA), and optional discrete relay channels
• Maximum Channel Count: Up to 32–64 channels (digital/analog combination) depending on the specific model
• Response Time: ≤ 1 ms for digital signals, ≤ 5 ms for analog signals
• Operating Temperature: -20 °C to +60 °C, compliant with industrial field environment requirements
• Compliance Standards: UL 508, CE, RoHS

Product Features

1. Modular Plug-and-Play: Enables I/O expansion by directly inserting into the PX4000 rack without on-site wiring, significantly reducing installation time.
2. High Reliability: Adopts an industrial-grade high-strength alloy or stainless steel housing, resistant to shock and vibration, and compliant with the UL 508 safety standard.
3. Low Power Consumption & Low Leakage: The internal circuit features a low-power design, making it ideal for energy-sensitive automation systems.
4. Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) Resistance: Optimized board layout and filtering design effectively suppress EMI, ensuring stable operation in complex electromagnetic environments.
5. Diagnostic Capabilities: Supports online self-testing and channel status monitoring, facilitating quick fault location and maintenance.

Structure and Components

• I/O Module Main Body: Includes terminal blocks for digital/analog input and output, relay output banks, and corresponding signal processing chips.
• Backplane Connector: Serves as a high-speed bus interface with the PX4000 host backplane, enabling unified transmission of data, power, and clock signals.
• Heat Sink: A metal heat sink attached to the back of the board ensures effective thermal management during long-term operation.
• Protective Cover: An optional dustproof and waterproof cover is available for use in harsh industrial sites.

Typical Application Areas

• Process Automation: Sensor signal acquisition and actuator control in continuous production processes such as chemical, petroleum, and natural gas industries.
• Machine Vision & Robotics: High-speed digital I/O for camera triggering, robot safety light curtains, etc.
• Building & Energy Management: I/O interface for building automation, power distribution monitoring, and renewable energy inverters.
• Packaging & Printing: High-speed discrete I/O for synchronous control of packaging lines and printing presses.

Installation and Maintenance Guidelines

1. Rack Space Reservation: Reserve a 1 U slot in the PX4000 rack and ensure sufficient heat dissipation channels at the rear.
2. Power Supply Inspection: Verify that the PXPS‑4 power supply is operating normally and the voltage complies with the 24 V DC specification.
3. Wiring Standards: Wire according to the terminal block markings in the product manual. Shielded cables are recommended for digital inputs to reduce noise interference.
4. Firmware Upgrade: The PXIO‑B firmware can be upgraded via Eaton configuration software (e.g., Configurator) to enhance compatibility and functionality.
5. Regular Self-Testing: Utilize the system’s built-in diagnostic functions to perform a monthly I/O channel self-test, promptly detecting loose or faulty terminals.
6. Replacement and Upgrade: To change the channel type (e.g., from digital to analog), simply remove the old module and insert a PXIO‑B replacement module of the corresponding specification; the system will automatically recognize it and update the configuration.
