1 Introduction
The IOEX (Input Output Expander Module) is an ADVC Controller Range accessory that accepts external control
signals from third party devices. It provides optically isolated inputs and voltage-free outputs. These allow
connection of an external protection relay or Remote Terminal Unit (RTU). The electronic circuit is installed in a die
cast, sealed enclosure which is attached to the upper accessory mounting tray of an ADVC ULTRA controller.

1.1 Compatibility
The IOEX is compatible with the ULTRA model of the ADVC Controller range where the upper accessory tray is
used to mount the IOEX module. The controller electronics includes a regulated power supply for the IOEX
module/s. Connection to the power supply is via two terminals mounted on the side accessory tray.
RS232 communications is used to interface the IOEX module/s to the control electronics.
The ULTRA model includes the following features to accommodate the IOEX module/s:
 Upper accessory tray for up to two IOEX modules
 Additional holes in the base of the controller for IOEX cable entry.
 Cable tie point on the cubicle side to secure the cables.

1.2 Parts supplied with the IOEX

The following parts are supplied with each IOEX module.
 1 x IOEX module Note:
 1 x RS232 cable Shielded cable (not supplied)
 1 x Power cable for external connections and
 4 x M5 stainless steel screws and washers. the EMC gland are essential
 1 x EMC cable gland for reliable operation.

3 IOEX installation
The IOEX must be fitted to the upper accessory mounting tray.

3.1 Removing and installing the mounting tray

It is very easy to remove the upper accessory mounting tray:
1. Undo and remove the self locking nuts and washers;
3 2. Rotate the accessory tray to the slide-out position by lifting
Brackets
the bottom of the tray away from the cubicle; and
3. Slide the tray to your left.
Hinges
To install the upper tray, locate the accessory tray hinges to the left
of the brackets in the top corner of the cubicle. Use the corner as a
1 2 1 guide and slide the tray to your right. The self-locating hinges will
guide the tray into the brackets. Continue to slide the tray until the
Upper accessory tray removal
hinges are completely inside the brackets. Rotate the tray into the
lock-down position and fasten the nuts.

3.2 Attaching the IOEX

Method:
1. Remove the Upper Accessory Mounting Tray
from the ADVC ULTRA cubicle (see 3.1);
2. Two mounting options are provided on the tray
(Left and Right). Select a convenient option;
3. Align the IOEX to the 4 holes as indicated.
Using the screws and washers provided, Mounting
attach the IOEX to the tray. Tighten the screws option Right
to 4Nm of torque; and Mounting
4. Fit the tray containing the IOEX in the Upper option Left
Accessory Mounting Space using the existing
mounting points (see 3.1).

3.3 Connect the IOEX to the controller

Connect the IOEX power supply lead to the terminals Side Accessory Tray IOEX
on the side accessory tray. The terminals are marked
with the following symbols.

Ground terminal

IOEX Positive power terminal

Using the RS233 cable (ADC-640), connect one of

the RS232 ports (A, B, C or D) on the ADVC
Controller to the IOEX.
Before you can use the IOEX, make “IOEX available”
in the WSOS Feature Selection tool, download the
configuration map and select the IOEX
communication port. Please see:
ADVC Operation Guide (ADVC2-1160) and
Configurable IOEX manual (N00-685).
