Tip: If you need help selecting modules, send us your required DI/DO/AI/AO/Temp channel count.

Digital I/O Expansion Modules

Add more discrete inputs/outputs for sensors, buttons, relays, solenoids, contactors and general machine signals. Choose relay outputs for universal switching, and mixed DI/DO for compact control panels.

Resource Configuration Selection Dimensions (LWH, mm)
GM DE088 InputsEM DE08
GM DE1616 InputsEM DE16
GM DR088 Relay OutputsEM DR08
GM QR1616 Relay OutputsEM QR16
GM DR168 In/8 Relay OutEM DR16
GM DR3216 In/16 Relay OutEM DR32
Selection Tips:
  • DE = digital inputs, DR/QR = relay outputs.
  • DR16/DR32 combine DI + relay DO for compact systems.

Analog I/O Expansion Modules

Analog modules for industrial transmitters and control devices (pressure/flow/level sensors, VFD speed reference, valve positioning, PID outputs). Inputs support voltage or current; outputs support voltage and current.

Resource Configuration Selection Dimensions (LWH, mm)
GM AE044 Voltage or Current InputsEM AE04
GM AE088 Voltage or Current InputsEM AE08
GM AQ044 Voltage and Current OutputsEM AQ04
GM AQ088 Voltage and Current OutputsEM AQ04
GM AM064 In/2 Out (Voltage and Current)EM AM06
GM AM12 / GM AM16 8 In/4 Out or 8 In/8 Out (Voltage and Current) EM AM06
Selection Tips:
  • AE = analog inputs, AQ = analog outputs, AM = combined AI + AO.
  • For dense control signals, choose AM12 / AM16 to reduce cabinet space.

Temperature Expansion Modules

Temperature acquisition for heaters, ovens, drying lines, and multi-zone monitoring. Choose PT100 for accuracy, NTC for cost-effective multi-point sensing, and Type K thermocouple for higher ranges.

Resource Configuration Selection Dimensions (LWH, mm)
GM AR044-Channel PT100 InputsEM AR04
GM AR088-Channel PT100 InputsEM AR04
GM AN044-Channel NTC (10K, 3950)EM AR04
GM AN088-Channel NTC (10K, 3950)EM AR04
GM AT044-Channel Type K ThermocoupleEM AT04
Selection Tips:
  • PT100 (RTD) is recommended for better accuracy and stability.
  • NTC (10K, 3950) is cost-effective for multi-point temperature monitoring.
  • Type K thermocouple is suitable for higher temperature ranges.

FAQ

Q: Can GM expansion modules be configured in software like standard EM modules?

Yes. The table provides the recommended Configuration Selection name to simplify setup.

Q: Which module should I choose for analog sensors and control outputs?

Use GM AE for inputs, GM AQ for outputs, and GM AM for AI + AO in one module.

Q: Which module is best for temperature measurement?

Choose GM AR for PT100, GM AN for NTC (10K, 3950), and GM AT for Type K thermocouple.
