Connecting to External Devices
External devices are connected through the I/O terminal. The pinout
for the I/O terminal is shown in the following table and diagram.
Consult the software user guide for details on how to configure the
external devices.

external equipment
The input uses a photocoupler and is
electrically isolated from the internal circuitry.
The input voltage should not exceed 12 V.
The output uses a photocoupler and is
electrically isolated from the internal circuitry.
The output terminal (A and B) connections can
be made with either polarity. The output can
drive a maximum load of 50 V and 120 mA.
