We have a network integration with Elka and Magnetic MGC-PRO gates with their ethernet modules. All other gates require this Relay integration.
Work with a licensed electrician when wiring gates. Incorrect wiring can damage equipment or cause injury/death.Make sure to read all manuals from the gate manufacturer and Moxa carefully.
FlexWash uses the Moxa ioLogik E1214 to communicate with the relay gate. The E1214 provides 6 digital inputs that detect when gates open or close, and allows FlexWash to open the gate. Sample Installation We recommend you mount this unit on a din rail in a climate controlled environment.

​
Relay Output Wiring

We open the gate by wiring up two wires into a relay on the E1214. You should test this by manually connecting these two wires and confirming the gate opens.

​
Digital Input Wiring Options

We use digital inputs to detect when the gate is closed and when the induction loop is occupied. The E1214 supports two wiring methods: dry contact and wet contact (NPN). We strongly recommend dry contact wiring when your gate supports it. Dry contact wiring is electrically isolated and requires no external power supply. This makes it safer and simpler to install. Dry Contact Wiring There should be no voltage across the two terminals. But you should see some connectivity when the gate is closed. Make sure to confirm both with a multimeter before wiring to the E1214. Connections:
  • DI0 → Gate switch terminal
  • GND → Gate switch terminal
  • COM 0 → Not used
How it works:
  • Switch closed → DI0 shorted to GND → Moxa reads ON
  • Switch open → Moxa reads OFF

​
Wet Contact (NPN)

Use NPN wiring when the gate outputs an active signal rather than a passive switch closure. This requires an external 10-30V DC power supply. NPN Wiring Make sure the voltage and current is within the E1214’s tolerance before wiring it up. Connections:
  • COM 0 → DC power (+)
  • DI0 → Gate black wire (output)
  • GND → DC power (−)
  • Gate brown wire (+V) → DC power (+)
  • Gate blue wire (GND) → DC power (−)
How it works:
  • Sensor idle → Black floats high (10-30V across DI0↔COM) → Moxa reads OFF
  • Sensor triggered → Black sinks to GND (0-3V across DI0↔COM) → Moxa reads ON

​
Multiple Channels

The E1214 has 6 digital input channels (DI0–DI5). Each channel can monitor a separate gate. Wire additional gates to DI1, DI2, etc. using the same method.
