COM2 with Discrete I/O Connections
The COM2/Discrete I/O option board (Figure 2-25) is positioned in option position
1 on the main board, and provides the COM2 serial port with two isolated inputs
and four dry-contact normally open relay outputs. The inputs can be selected as
either active or passive based on the position of the slide switch on the board.
COM2
The COM2 port on the COM2/DIO option has the same connection as described in
the previous COM2 section. Refer to that section for details.

Active Input

Selecting the inputs as active (Figure 2-32) enables connection of switches or
other simple devices to trigger an input. No voltage is supplied by the external
simple device.
An example of how to wire to the active inputs is shown in Figure 2-26.
