Seeed Studio MIO starter kit expansion board with four M5S I/O modules and screw terminals

Seeed Studio

Seeed Studio MIO Starter Kit with Expansion Board, M5S I/O modules, PLC for Raspberry Pi 3

SKU CH-V72E-Q5VAV

Modular expansion board for Raspberry Pi 3 with four sealed M5S I/O modules and screw terminals for 24V DC switching

  • Product typeSensors
  • Compatible with Raspberry Pi 3 for industrial I/O expansion
  • Four M5S modules included to extend functionality out of the box
  • Screw terminals accept 24V DC for external switching and supply
  • Jumper or cable configuration sets pin assignment quickly
  • Waterproof, fireproof, dustproof modules suit harsh environments

Modular PLC kit for Raspberry Pi 3

The Seeed Studio MIO Starter Kit provides an expansion board that connects to a Raspberry Pi 3 and adds screw terminals for external power and switching. Four M5S I/O modules are included, letting builders link industrial sensors or actuators without custom wiring. The sealed modules are waterproof, fireproof and dustproof for harsh environments.

Suited for industrial automation prototypes

Engineers prototyping programmable logic controllers or regulators on a Pi 3 will benefit from the unified layout and interchangeable modules. Users who need more than the four supplied modules must source additional M5S units separately. Projects that do not use a Raspberry Pi 3 cannot use this board.

Works with 24 V DC external supply

The expansion board accepts a 24 V DC supply through its screw terminals, enabling direct connection to common industrial power rails. This voltage rating is the key figure to verify before integrating the kit into a control cabinet.

Questions about this item

What comes in the MIO Starter Kit and what must be purchased separately?

The kit includes an expansion board compatible with Raspberry Pi 3 and four M5S I/O modules. Up to four additional M5S modules can be added to reach the eight-module capacity.

Which M5S module types should I choose for my application?

Select from Smart Relay, switching value, analog quantity, or pulsed quantity modules based on the peripheral devices you need to access or drive.

How does the 24 V DC screw terminal work once the kit is installed?

The screw terminals provide external switching and a 24 V DC supply voltage for connected industrial devices through the M5S modules.
