Key Features
- Mixed I/O Design: Combines inputs/outputs in 1 slot for space efficiency.
- Hot Swappable: Supports module replacement without power cycling.
- LED Diagnostics: Per-point status LEDs (green = active, red = fault).
- Short-Circuit Protection: Outputs include electronic current limiting.
- Field Wiring Flexibility: Accepts 12–24 AWG wires.
Function & Role
- Signal Interface: Connects sensors (e.g., limit switches, proximity sensors) and actuators (e.g., solenoids, relays).
- Logic Execution: Integrates with VersaMax/PACSystems CPUs for real-time control.
- Data Acquisition: Monitors machine states for SCADA/HMI systems.
