CIE-M10A – 8-Port Remote I/O Networking Module (Modbus/TCP + Web + ADC + Serial Gateway)
CIE-M10A is a compact remote I/O control module with 8 digital inputs, 8 digital outputs, and 1 analog input (10-bit ADC). It lets you monitor and control I/O over Ethernet/Internet using Modbus/TCP (or Serialized Modbus/TCP) and an embedded web interface. A Macro function is also available for simple stand-alone logic control, and the module supports Serial↔TCP/IP conversion for network access to serial devices.
Key features
- • Compact module design for embedding Remote I/O into your own system.
- • 8 digital input ports and 8 digital output ports (3.3V CMOS interface).
- • 1 analog input port (10-bit ADC) for reading analog sensors.
- • Monitoring and control via Modbus/TCP (or Serialized Modbus/TCP) or Web (HTTP).
- • Macro function for simple autonomous logic control (can operate independently).
- • User web-page upload function (customize the control screen/UI).
- • Internet Switch concept support for distributed I/O control.
- • Free Modbus/TCP program available: ModMap (optional tool).
Remote monitoring & control (Modbus/TCP + HTTP)
CIE-M10A can be controlled from PLC/SCADA/HMI systems using Modbus/TCP (or Serialized Modbus/TCP). For fast access, the embedded web method (HTTP) lets you control outputs and monitor I/O from any browser. The web UI can be changed to suit your application, which is useful for simplified operator screens.
- • Works with standard Modbus/TCP clients (PC software, mobile apps, HMI, PLC).
- • Browser control via HTTP for quick testing and simple remote operation.
- • Custom web-page upload allows a tailored UI for your project.
Autonomous logic & Internet Switch
Macro mode allows automatic output control using a simple logic expression based on input states—ideal for stand-alone rules without a PLC. CIE-M10A is also well suited for “Internet Switch” style applications, where multiple devices can be used to build a distributed I/O control system.
- • Stand-alone operation with simple logical control (Macro).
- • Great for distributed ON/OFF control and monitoring across multiple locations/devices.
Analog input (10-bit ADC) for sensor values
In addition to digital I/O, CIE-M10A provides one analog input (10-bit ADC), which is useful for connecting simple analog sensors. Read the measured value through Modbus/TCP and display it on your custom web page if needed.
- • Ideal for basic voltage-output sensors and simple measurements.
- • Integrates easily into monitoring dashboards via Modbus/TCP.
Serial↔TCP/IP conversion (UART gateway)
CIE-M10A can also bridge serial devices to the network using its UART interface. This helps you manage legacy or embedded serial equipment over TCP/IP without adding a separate serial LAN module.
- • Typical gateway modes include TCP Server, TCP Client, and UDP.
- • Useful for combined projects: remote I/O + serial device connectivity in one module.
