The discrete inputs provided on the I/O Card are configured as Point Number A1 to Point Number A12.
They are connected using the second and third terminal positions as follows:
+ Positive Discrete Input
- Common
The discrete input operates by providing a voltage across terminals “+” and “-” (see Figure Section: 6-
6), which is derived from internal voltage source Vs. When a field device, such as a relay contact, is
connected across “+” and “-”, the closing of the contacts completes the circuit, which causes a flow of
current between Vs and ground at terminal “-”. This current flow activates the LED and is sensed in
the DI circuitry which, in turn, signals the MCU electronics that the relay contacts have closed. When
the contacts open, current flow is interrupted and the DI circuit signals this to the electronics.
CAUTION
The discrete input is designed to operate only with non-powered discrete devices
such as “dry” relay contacts or isolated solid state switches. Use of the DI channel
with powered devices may cause improper operation or damage to occur.
