The CP-IO22 is an IO board accessory for the ComfilePi consisting of 22 IO (11 inputs, 11 NPN outputs), screw terminals, and corresponding indicator LEDs. It can be mounted to the rear panel of the CPi-A/B/S series panel PCs.

This product is not compatible with the CPi-C series panel PCs.

If you need PNP outputs, please use the CP-IO22 PNP.

The following is an example project illustrating how to program the CP-IO22 in C# or VB.Net using the Mono Framework.

Source Code

This example application uses the following .NET libraries to control the digital inputs and relays.

• System.Device.Gpio

The pigpio library also has a Python interface.

The following is an example illustrating digital inputs and outputs:

import pigpio
 
pi = pigpio.pi()
 
pi.set_mode(4, pigpio.INPUT)
pi.set_mode(17, pigpio.OUTPUT)
 
while True:
    if pi.read(4):
        pi.write(17, 1)
    else:
        pi.write(17, 0)
 
pi.stop()

The CP-IO22 pins are connected to the ComfilePi's GPIO header as shown below.

Inputs: GPIO 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 16
Outputs: GPIO 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27

• Bipolar relative to COM x 11
• Voltage Range: 12 ~ 24V
• Absolute Min/Max Voltage Range: 3.3 ~ 28V
• Response Time: 5ms
• Input OFF Level: <1.8VDC
• Input ON Level: >2.5VDC
• Indicator LED OFF Level: <4.5V

It may be necessary to modify the ComfilePi's initial GPIO output state to prevent the ComfilePi from turning the outputs ON when the ComfilePi boots.

Modify the ComfilePi's /boot/config.txt file with the following configuration to set the initial IO state. See GPIO control in config.txt for more information.

gpio=4-13=ip
gpio=16=ip
gpio=17-27=op,np,dl
