The JVL MAC00-B42 expansion module is among the simplest and lowest cost modules in the JVL product range. This module contains no intelligence (microprocessor) meaning that all functionality is controlled via the basic motor.

The JVL MAC00-B42 expansion module offers industrial M12 connectors and a number of feature enhancements including:

• Backwards compatibility with teh MAC00-R4 module.
• Standard M12 connectors for optimum reliability.
• Full RS232 protocol support for the use with a standard serial cable.
• Full RS485 protocol support for multipoint communication up to 100m.
• 8 digital isolated inputs for 24V logic to be used with a user program in the motor.
• 4 digital isolated outputs for 24V logic to be used with a user program in the motor. Each output can supply up to 700 mA and is short circuit rated.
• LED indicators for I/O supply and main supply (control voltage)

Typical applications for these expansion modules are:

• Stand alone applications where the build in user program handles are the local I/O's.
• Replacement for pneumatic cylinders suing the "Air Cylinder Mode".
• Dispenser systems.
• Machine adjustment/setup by sending RS232 or RS485 commands.
• Stand alone PLC with user progam stored in the basic motor.

• Pin-out as MAC00-R4.
• 8 DI (I1-8) and 4 DO (O1-4).
• 24VDC digital inputs.
• Short circuit rated outputs.
• Generation 2 connector for easier mounting.
  
• LED in the rear plate foil showing state of 24V power and O+ (I/O supply).
• I/O’s are galvanic isolated.
• RS485 channel from 9.600 to 230.000bit/sec.
  
• RS485 tolerant for overvoltages up to 60V.
• RS232 tolerant for up to 15kV ESD (extreme static electricity … Same for RS485 above).
• 4 pcs. M12 connectors.
• Indication in MacTalk showing if I/O supply (O+) is connected or not. Also indication of possible short circuit/overload of the user outputs.
