Features
all 14 output ports can supply 500mA simultaneously, in highside mode.
If the module gets too warm, all ports are switched off. This prevents the device from being damaged.

Wiring
Connect The RevolutionPi DIO as in the Following picture
connect 12 V - 24 V on X4, on the Bottom of the device
connect 12 V - 24 V on X2 for Input, on the Top of the device
connect 12 V - 24 V on X2 for Output, on the Top of the device
connect all Grounds
connect one port from Output 1 to 14 to the electrical consumer [M], [M] can be a 24V LED
connect the ground from the electrical consumer [M] to the same ground as the RevolutionPi
Connect the extension module with a base module
Connect the RevolutionPi DIO to the RevolutionPi Connect with a PiBridge.
PiCtory Configuration
The following describes how to set up the PiCtory configuration to run the DIO in High-Side mode.
For this example, you can use a RevolutionPi Core or Connect. The only difference for this example is which base module is inserted into PiCtory.
Set output to high-Side
Save the config like in the picture below, with “Save as Start-Config“
Switching output with piTest from piControl
Check if Device is recognized correctly.
