Digital and Analog I/O Technical Note
Introduction
Analog and digital I/O ports on ION meters let you bring in a variety of data into a 
common system. This simplifies data gathering and provides the following 
capabilities. Meter analog and digital I/O ports let you:
Interface the I/O ports with relays as well as transducers for gas, steam, air, and 
water metering. 
Use the inputs to count transducer pulses and breaker trips, or measure flow 
rates, rotations, fuel levels, oil pressures, and transformer temperatures. 
Use the outputs for equipment control to transfer any value (e.g. energy) to 
remote terminal units (RTUs).
Monitor equipment status.
There is a range of I/O solutions available depending on your application. 
Onboard I/O provides fast and robust performance for time-critical applications. 
Configuration is simple and integration is seamless. 
For extensive I/O requirements with the ION 8000 Series meter, you can use the 
I/O Expander — this device was designed and tested with the ION 8000 Series 
meter, and provides reliable performance. 
You can use meters with Modbus master capability (ION 8000 Series, ION 7500, 
and ION 7600 meters) for extensive I/O requirements; when communication speed 
is not required, you can use the Grayhill OpenDAC I/O system (see the Grayhill 
OpenDAC and ION Technology
 technical note for more information). Other ION 
meters also use Grayhill I/O products, such as the ION 7300 relay extension board 
and the ION 7700 expansion boards.
