ncWirelessIO
Wireless I/O for ncSender: 4 inputs, 4 switched outputs and a machine-status LED strip port, linked through the ncSender Wireless USB. Built for the Pneumatic ATC plugin.
Tool change
Your ATC, without the cable run
ncWirelessIO sits at the tool changer and talks to ncSender over the Wireless USB. The drawbar sensor, the tool sensor and the air solenoid wire into it on the spot, not back to the control box, and your controller's own inputs and outputs stay free.
- Built for ncSender's Pneumatic ATC plugin: it opens the drawbar, checks it opened, and checks the new tool is seated before cutting resumes
- Two inputs and three outputs left over for a pressure switch, a taper blow, a dust boot or a fan
- Silence means stop: if it stops hearing ncSender, the outputs you choose switch off on their own
Wiring
Inputs and outputs that take shop wiring
Screw terminals for every connection, and a jumper per output so each one runs at the voltage its load needs.
- 4 optically isolated inputs, 3.3 to 24 V, NPN or PNP sensors chosen with one jumper
- Sensor supply on the terminal: 5, 12 or 24 V, fused
- 4 switched outputs at 5, 12 or 24 V per output, short-circuit and over-temperature protected
- A light per input and output shows what it sees and when it is on
Status light
And it lights the machine
The same machine-status lighting as the ncSender RGB LED controller, built in. Plug an addressable 12 V strip into the LED port and it shows what the machine is doing, in the colours the ncSender header uses. No strip yet? The status light on the board shows the same colours.

Questions
Do I need an Installation ID to activate it?
No. Every ncWirelessIO is activated before it ships, so there is nothing to enter. If it is ever wiped, ncSender's Activate restores it from the device itself.
What do I need to run it?
The ncSender software, an ncSender Wireless USB to pair it to, and a 24–48 V DC supply, usually the one already powering your machine.
How do I wire and set it up?
The ncWirelessIO user manual shows every terminal and jumper on the board, how to wire NPN and PNP sensors and your loads, and how to pair it with ncSender.
Can I see it working?
Yes. The ncWirelessIO page has a demo video of inputs and outputs driven from ncSender.
