Technical Data of the Digital Inputs

Parameter Value
Number of channels per module 16 inputs (24 V DC)
Distribution of the channels into groups 2 (8 channels per group)
Connections of the channels I0 to I7 Terminals 2 to 9
Connections of the channels I8 to I15 Terminals 11 to 18
Reference potential for the channels I0 to I7 Terminal 1 (positive or negative pole of the process supply voltage, signal name C0..7)
