10 Channel Input Module
The 10 Channel Input Module is a GOcontroll Moduline-compatible expansion card that adds ten individually configurable input channels to your modular controller setup. Each input supports low-voltage analog and digital signals (0–5V) and can be used for tasks such as sensor monitoring, pulse counting, and frequency measurement.
The module is engineered for robustness. Each channel includes configurable pull-up and pull-down resistors, and software-based filtering options to fine-tune signal handling. Configuration is done quickly and intuitively via MATLAB-SImulink or Node-RED, allowing engineers to adapt the module to their specific application.
Applications
- Temperature sensor measurement
- Pressure measurement
- Axle speed measuring
- Rotary encoder reading
- Actuator position measurement
- Potentiometer reading
- Level measurement
- Flow measurement
- Valve position measurement

Features
- Ten independently configurable inputs
- Analog voltage reading in millivolt or raw 12-bit resolution (0–5 V range)
- Digital (high/low) status reading
- Frequency measurement up to 10 kHz
- Signal duty-cycle measurement (low and high time)
- Rotational speed measurement
- Encoder pulse counting
- Switchable 10 kΩ pull-up and 3.3 kΩ pull-down resistors
- Two switchable 5 V sensor supply outputs

Pinout Moduline L4
The eight module expansion slots are directed to four connectors in front of the controller. Connector A,B,D and E. If a module is plugged into a specific expansion slot, one half of the corresponding connector is used to interface this module. The picture below gives an overview of the connectors with their related module expansion slots.
The picture below shows the connector pinning from the 10 Channel Input Module. Be aware of the different pinouts when the module is plugged into even or odd module slots.
